Where Wargames gets it wrong is that with a low-power homebrew system you can connect into almost any system and have it format the screen with the correct image for the application and actually make use of it—airline systems give you a reservation page, the school system gives you access to the grades database…

The Graf Zeppelin was not a fragile balloon. You're thinking of a blimp (such as the current Goodyear and Met Life blimps) which has no internal structure—the entire craft except for the control gondola is the gas bag. Zeppelins were made of aluminum frames which contained internal latex gas bags containing…

The editors of the Audi-oriented web site fourtitude.com have stated that according to their intelligence the U.S. may indeed see the RS Q3 for sale on this side of the Atlantic.

They've already tried Underdog.

The Peachoid, Gaffney, S.C.

This is like cell towers that are camouflaged to look like a tree.

The boys on Top Gear pronounce "Hyundai" as a 3-syllable word: "Hy un dai"—just as it's spelled.

The Star Wars sets are loaded with blasters and light sabers. How can you have a Lone Ranger set with no six shooters or silver bullets?

Lego sets usually run at a cost of 10 cents or so per piece. Unusual or custom pieces (this set probably qualifies) may jack up the price.

Consider how awesome this would have been if they'd gone beyond the minifig anatomy:

Vinegar is a good treatment for jellyfish sting and it's more socially acceptable.

No Snowball either.

At Lego's average cost of 10¢/piece it will probably be $250.00.

It's safe to reuse plastic bottles—as long as you don't heat them:

Do you actually have an electric hydraulic pump or is there an electric motor geared onto the steering rack? VAG's electric steering is the latter—with an additional gear on the rack connected to the steering wheel. It's "electrically-assisted" steering.

The Shuttle takes 2 days to get to the ISS.

"Brain and brain! What is brain?!"

Since the last incarnation of the RS3 was produced with S-tronic only I think you won't be seeing a manual in an RS3 in anyone's country anytime in the future. The percentage of manual-equipped Audis has been < 5% of sales for the last decade and it's falling.

From listening to landing narration from NASA and the radio traffic it seemed to me that the automatic phase of landing was usually terminated right before the shuttle made it's circle maneuver to get lined up with the runway. Usually the commander would turn the controls over to the shuttle pilot for a short while…

For insurance purposes the Audi A3 Sportback is a station wagon. I think it's because of the window behind the C pillar. This gets it better rates than its cousin the VW GTI which lacks the 3rd window and is classified as a sports hatchback.
