@Qurtyslyn: So why does the dark not get blamed for this instead of the GPS? "Man drives in the dark, dies" OMG!

@alex-y: I'd accept that argument for the idiot who got stuck 3 miles up a mountain, but this guy was driving in the dark in an unfamiliar area, and by the time he saw the road was ending, it was too late. He had no chance. Same thing would have happened if he didn't have a GPS. The article is a bit misleading.
"Good to the last drop"
@electricworry: "Adding lightness" is an oxymoron.
@bleuiko!: Some people like the lo-fi effect to make the pictures look like they were taken on an old camera.
@BruteSquad: Guess you're the exception then. I'm sure you've heard such terms though.
@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.
@baxtercedar: I have not. I do. Iowa =/
If you have plastic or glass armor, WATCH OUT! However, if you have some steel or kevlar, carry on.
@AclockWorkApple, sprung a leak and is now running lean on bank 2! Awesome!: Learn Hungarian and ask them to design you one.
@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.
@Scott: Yep
@AclockWorkApple, sprung a leak and is now running lean on bank 2! Awesome!: Even if it's not concentric, the spring-loaded cable will just pick up the slack, and if anything, suspension movement could help propel you forward.
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…
