Oh, I don’t know. Maybe she just wanted something that Bill has, as in penis envy?

Renault's first FWD car was the 1961 R4, not the R5.

If the R8 inherited the underpinnings of the Dauphine, it's going to be hard to find one. The Dauphine stopped being made in my home country just before I was born. My uncle bought a Dauphine when he got married, but I never saw it, for it was quickly sold. When I got to elementary school, all Dauphines had…

This is a pretty cool widget!

It seems that the headline has a typo.

Winter does not suck if you live in the right place.

The pressure in the tire of a heavy duty truck using truck rims is much higher than of a light truck.

According to colleagues who worked at MS until not too long ago, it's still like this. Being abusive and curse at each other from the top of the lungs about pixels is par for the course in meetings.

Both infrastructures, hydrogen and battery, are in their infancy. Battery swap stations could start popping up everywhere and become quick and easy (one attempt has already tried and failed). A hydrogen network could piggyback on our vast network of gas stations and become ubiquitous and easy. It's too early to tell.

Hydrogen fuel cells, though, offer recharging/refueling times not too different from what we're used to with gasoline cars. That's a big deal, and it's easy to not give a shit that your electricity storage system is half as efficient as batteries when you can just refill your hydrogen tank in five or so minutes.

And all of those caveats are at the heart of why Elon Musk thinks hydrogen is "bullshit" as a car fuel — he's looking at everything from an overall, systems-level viewpoint, and evaluating all the extra steps involved from the initial conversion of motion or nuclear reactions or combustion into electricity to storing…

HTTP 1.1 also allows pipelining requests through the same connection. It just doesn't work with with some websites, I don't know why.

That's our question of the day: What car regulation is stupid and needs to change? Not traffic laws, mind you; car regulations.

What of miniature giraffes?

Unfortunately, a recent Allstate study doesn't seem to agree with me. This study, which looked at the average number of years drivers go between accidents, recently rated the worst U.S. cities for driving – and the leaders were Boston, Washington, D.C., Providence, Baltimore, and Philadelphia.

And now, back to my other point, which is: the drivers in your city aren't worse than the drivers anywhere else.

Me, I'm more than willing to admit that I'm a worse-than-average driver. In fact, I think I'm somewhere in there between "old lady with failing eyesight who sits on a phone book to see over the wheel" and "9-year-old who accidentally shifted his uncle's Taurus into gear at the grocery store."

Now, for those of you who have taken a few statistics courses, it's very obvious that this 80 percent thing is virtually impossible. Oh, sure, the remaining 20 percent could be so bad that the 80 percent are necessary to bring up the average. But it's more likely that people vastly overestimate their driving…

Well, ladies and gentlemen, I'm here to set the record straight about the worst drivers. I can do this because I've driven in dozens of countries, and all over America – east and west, north and south, urban and rural. I've driven vans, trucks, buses, and sports cars. And after all this experience, I can state two…

I guess that we'll never know if a company could do better and cheaper, because the USPS and statists are afraid of letting the consumer choose the best.
