@BruteSquad: Do you also get mad when someone tells you to "Google it" or "use a Kleenex"?

@PaddyDugan: When I had lowly 3meg service, I never got HD, only 3/4 bars. Once I bumped up to 8 and then 12, I've (almost) never had a problem running at the highest quality.

@TorturedWriter: When HD content is available, it's pretty good. Just as good as TV. I'll take it.

If you have plastic or glass armor, WATCH OUT! However, if you have some steel or kevlar, carry on.

@ziffelbat: Of course, when even "sooner" approaches infinity...

@baxtercedar: All you need to do to make this safe is use a wire that isn't brittle, so when it reaches the end of its life-cycle, it just stretches out, rather than sudden, catastrophic failure.

Here's my take on this.

To all those wondering how this works:

@George Smiley: One end of the cable is attached to the frame, the other to a one-way freewheel, so when you press down on the pedal, the cable pulls the wheel along. Another spring-loaded cable winds up the freewheel when it is not in the power stroke. (there is one mechanism on each side, so each cable is being used

@duck: Basically, except the wire is pulled back by another spring-loaded wire on the seatstays. Not sure why they decided to go that route, but it could be something to do with having the spring inside a moving part, as well as possible increased tension you have to fight while pedaling.

@kernelRiot: Pssst, you don't have to press Ctrl first. Just Shift+Home does the same thing. Then again, Ctrl+A is one-hand-able.

@loosejello: Scratch that, article says 20, videos say 30.
