It’s the Grand Marquis De Sade trim option (thanks Car Guys)

Is that something that would make me squirm if I looked it up on the Urban Dictionary?

It very much depends on what license the software is being deployed with, for example anything with a GPL or CC license would allow you to hold onto the IP rights, and there’s a huge base of software (Android even!) that is built on licenses such as these, but if you built, say, proprietary drivers for Intel, you…

Looking at these, I truly believe that they, and not the miata, were the heir to the “British Sports Car” family. Small, lightweight, economical and yet these machines could certainly outrun my Spitfire, which, if I remember correctly had a 0-60 in about 16 secs. Imagine if Europe was filled with these and not Smart…

There is only one decent Count of Monte Cristo adaption and the Gerard Depardieu version is it.

Meh, whilst I would not approve of any aspect of this deal, surrender of IP is an absolute standard for contractor work, every computer programmer around the globe surrenders their rights every time they pick up work

And that’s why corporations and authoritarian governments love laws like that, because a protest that doesn’t inconvenience anyone or anything achieves nothing. What you are doing is creating a reducto ad absurdum scenario (what if there was an earthquake!) to deny people the right to legitimately protest a loss of…

Or for those of us from old blighty, a Kia ora. 

I love these cars, was trying to find one here in Denver but there were only 2 available in the whole state when I was looking. There’s no proper photos of the hail damage, and here in Colorado, hail damage really is serious, it can take $3000-$4000 to fix that alone. I think this car could easily eat $12000 to fix,…

This is serious shit isn’t it, but hide? I graduated from high school in England in 1978, and I learnt about Malaya and Kenya in high school history, plus anyone who read broadsheet newspapers at the time knew about Diego Garcia when in happened. Even then, there was no illusions about a glorious empire. When John Le…

Disagree on your position that tariffs are on the liberal end of taxation. They are just another regressive tax like sales tax, and they hit the poor consumer much harder, especially if you are paying 20% extra for parts: If I earn $250,000 and the payments on my 2019 Range Rover jump from $1000/month to $1200/month…

Baking sheets

That’s because people are still around who fought in the WW2, and people of the same age group as me, whose parents fought, are in charge of the country. So I’m afraid you’re going to have to wait for us all to die off before it all quietens down. After all, nobodies going to want to celebrate Tony’s little adventure,…

The Denver Post reported today that Denver City have impounded 250 scooters from Lime and Bird and will levy a fine of $150 per scooter because they have been left blocking sidewalks etc. Now that’s going to hurt profitability....

First thing to point out is that he isn’t a citizen, but a permanent resident (probably a green card) and as such is subject to certain rules about getting a criminal record. Domestic violence is a conviction that could have got him deported at the time and serving a sentence is not relevant to a deportation order.…

They are, but they’re also manufactured in Japan, and a boatload of Hondas shipped to Europe needs both left and right drive models in the manifest. Can the USA provide this? (That’s not a rhetorical question by the way, I don’t know)

Android Auto/Apple Carplay? One of the few things that annoys me in my Volvo is the OEM entertainment

Agreed - One of my favorites, among many great choices, down in Ouray
