For some reason, on 7 I did a quick mental rewrite:

Would you do "that", whatever the hell it is?

I was more surprised by the fact that there are apparently 6TB hard drives. I suppose a couple of 3TB drives could be joined in RAID 0 and then joined again? I'm not sure how they achieve 96 trillion bits of memory with 2 hard drives.

I've started thinking that I wouldn't have made as much progress as I have if I had tried the methods too often modified by the expression "a little". "A little exercise" or "eating a little healthier" wouldn't have done it. I think I would have quit after a month if I hadn't seen substantial progress, and that…

No problem. I wanted some new wallpaper, so it worked out well.

Now I'm no expert, but I'd speculate that she doesn't have any to cut off.

And it probably doesn't poop, either, whatever that means...

It's worse than that... it's 240 N-m, not 240 ft-lbs. That means it's about 180 ft-lbs. From a diesel.

It looks like it's the same as on this page, with hot click-to-embiggen action:

Did she get performance stats on the UFO?

Another possibility... Sequential turbos... a low-inertia turbo that can start moving air with the exhaust produced at low RPM, a medium-inertia turbo for mid-RPM (or, more likely, the high end of low RPM) and a high-speed, high-volume turbo for higher end. This is a strategy for reducing, or almost entirely…

A more expansive definition of "gadget", perhaps? Seriously, I don't know. For that matter, why the article about the Plan B pill on Giz? Because it deals with ladies'... er... "gadgets"? Seems more like Jezebel material.

I don't recall ever being all that concerned. I really have no problem with a company announcing something that's a loser and then saying "uhh, yeah, we looked at that again and decided it sucks..." If it happens over and over, that's a problem, but a company that can never admit it's wrong? That's a problem. The…

Somehow I never took it as 90% of the brain being useless of anything like that. I always figured that, for any given mental operation, no more than 10% of the brain would be employed. However, since there's a pretty staggering number of mental operations, the entire brain is necessary, in various combinations of…

Sure, they can pay it readily, but doesn't El Goog have something like $25 billion in on-hand cash and the like? Sure, this might be 2% of that, but it's significant. Not ground-shaking, not executives flinging themselves from windows, but still significant. It's companies not acquired, research not financed,…

Fwiw, I've also found that the Hi-Power fits my hand beautifully. The 1911 was always my standard for hand-happiness, but I think the Hi-Power might be just as good, or even a tiny bit better. A few weeks of side-by-side comparison testing should allow me to decide.

What you did there? Yeah, I saw it.

Fan. Frickin. Tastic. HP, you really fraked it up before, but now ya done good. Oh, and a version that'll run on my Evo 3D would be swell.

Wow... I was going to respond fully until I read the beatdown you took. Now it just seems like piling on.

What?!? Not true? Let me guess— coating a bullet in Teflon doesn't make it capable of shooting through the blade of a bulldozer, either?
