Pretty sure your DSC system also has something called "track mode" which is not spoken to in the manual. Press and hold your DSC button for 8-10 seconds. Should disable the stability and throttle controls, leaving you with only the electronic traction control which functions as a limited slip diff.

Ok, so, focusing on your Siri example, while you may be pressing a button and dictating into your phone, aren't you going to quickly proofread your text....just to make sure autospell didn't tweak a few words, so now you're telling your girlfriend you want to do something unmentionable with her mother? ;)

I do love some of these hacks, and certainly love a good, "gourmet" iced coffee as much as the next person, but honestly—I've had good success using a much more basic process: Brew a slightly stronger amount of ground coffee (you can also use a slightly stronger blend, like Starbuck's "Morning Joe" or "Dunkin' Dark")…

I am really blown away by some of the incredibly, creative desktops which some of your readers have developed here, but damn...does the process to mimic them really have to be soooo involved? I consider myself a techie in many facets, but this is not my wheelhouse. I tip my hat to the folks who have done this, I can…

I feel like I just **finally** converted every bulb in my house and garage over to CCFL, and now it sounds like it's time to convert over to LED. Yikes....this whole business of being "environmentally conscientious" is tiring and expensive :)

Surprisingly, there wasn't a whole lot that separated one product from another. Starting with a look at battery usage, AV-Comparatives found that most of the products only had a minor impact on battery life. The worst offenders in this category were Qihoo and Webroot, the former because it uses "fancy animations" and…

Allow for very much customization of the interface (it only has a few predetermined "views")

I think a lot of people have run across getting caught up in what others are doing, but I'm kind of disappointed to hear it's been given a formal name and diagnosis (FOMO....really?). I don't mean to put down something I'm having trouble relating to, but along the lines of the first few comments made, I am wondering…

I'm with you 100%. I have over 20 years' experience and find myself chuckling whenever a recruiter asks me about what I majored/minored in college.

Personally, for less than 10 bucks, I'm thinking you would be better off purchasing a product which is intended for this purpose. One example I've used with great results on my older cars is Vinylex; it's meant for cleaning and protecting plastic/vinyl and works great. It also blocks UV rays to help slow the…

Just a couple things I'd add; having a 4-wheel alignment performed ANY time you add new rubber or have any suspension work done, e.g., struts, shocks, thrust arms, etc. If your roads are as bad as mine in Central NJ, you should probably have this done at least once a year anyway, 'cause not every alignment issue will…

Nice E24 ;)
