I like the concept of a polished, black, uninterupted exterior that they've got going on. And the hardware inside is definitely worthy of notice. However, there's this thing called "moderation." Do something, but don't over do it.

I don't do much website coding, but on the occations that I do it's entirely by hand in Notepad. It's rough, it's not super flashy, but by God it accomplishes what it needs to.

This is what I hate about today's tuner crowd...

@harumph:

No offense, but why did he need a stud finder? You can bloody SEE the things in the video.

My first firewall was ZoneAlarm from the 2.x days.

@onewithnature:Okay, a) Thank you. You said that better than I could hope to. And b), can we HANDLE its true form?

Yeah, Spirit. My first car and I miss her. Not a turbo, doesn't have the graphics or rims for it.

Web browse using Opera, virus scan using AVG. On-demand spyware checks using Ad-Aware. The latest version of Comodo includes an anti-spyware component with it, so I can stop Acrobat from getting friendly whenever I open a folder with a PDF, or keep programs from accessing other files when I don't want them to.

I have to say that I think Dodge's market research needs some serious quality standards applied. The reception of the Demon was fifty-fifty at best when it was first announced. There was NOT a lot of hype or interest in it, if I recall, and there were a lot of people offering complaints over the design.

So from your description, it sounds like Ford built themselves a Pacifica without really learning from Dodge's mistakes. Underpowered, inefficient engine. Check. Identity crisis. Check. Yeah, that'll sell.

If I needed it in an emergency or just some light web surfing via PSP when I'm away from home, then I'll use an open network. The PSP is 802.11b and slow as hell, so it won't consume much bandwidth, let alone load half the interesting sites I'd like to view. If I wanted to leech bandwidth with my laptop, I would try…

I can think of around a half-dozen that I could add from the local speed traps and my old hour commute, but I'm hesitant to join a website that has a seperate checkmark to opt-out of partners contacting you.

Why go to the trouble of supercharging a car that's just supposed to sit in a corner and look pretty as decoration? No, my guess is that car is either going home with somebody after shooting, getting at least a little camera time, or KARR is returning and not getting a remodel.

@WarShrike: For those with Windows Media Player:

@DeeJayQueue: I hadn't thought about it at first, but I have to agree. KITT was modified, and so much that you wouldn't mistake just any Trans-Am for the real thing. This is literally just a high end Ford with lights slapped under the hood. Hell, the local ricers could do a better job.

The idea of a universal spellcheck is nice, but as others have mentioned, it seems to have intermittent trouble keeping up with the status of Shift/Ctrl/Alt and blocking the Win key altogether. If you hold Shift/Ctrl/Alt for a second before pressing the next key, that seems to work more often than not. There's just…

Living out here in dirt country, I imagine all the local versions have been bashed and smashed through the late model class already. So, local parts availability, nil. Good start.

This'll seem a bit odd, but personally, I'm big on sleepers. And I loved my first car, a dark green '94 Spirit.
