I am going to try something pretty soon. I am going to switch my mom to webapps completely. That way, if something is wrong, I just reinstall the OS. If it's a hardware problem, fair enough, I will work to replace that. I may even buy her a chromebook.

This is why I like the occasional gentleman racer, who has the money not to care about sponsors for a bit. They usually show up with cool cars and few stickers.

240sx. You'll probably have a few grand to spare for when you break things.

Thanks, looks promising and dev friendly.

I love uTorrent but the fact that it's not open source causes me to rethink using it every now and then. I just haven't bothered looking for an alternative. And making a torrent app from scratch is a pain. So much protocol documentation.

You forgot one thing: RWD cars also generally have better looking proportions than FWD cars. But this mostly has to do with the engine layout.

Cayman R. Easy choice. Why? Because porsch-UHH!

I like this. And the humor makes it through the subtitles.

number 7 just made my day. I love eggs but I've been told to watch my cholesterol. Here I come 5 egg omelets. I'm totally making up for taking it easy on eggs for the last month.

I was never a huge fan of him or his opinions, I don't really like OS X, and the iPhone is not quite my cup of tea, but when I heard the news, I instantaneously felt sad. Not just because he changed the world for the better, and despite his flaws, he certainly did. The technology world will miss his drive, and most…

Will watch for sure. After a few episodes of this season, I started getting excited for the next episode, almost like I do for UK top gear.

38 MPH in 1884? That's impressive. You could cross those 20 miles in slightly more than 30 minutes, and that would otherwise be a days hike. Also, if cars followed Moore's law we could now go about 5*10^20 MPH, or at least have about 2.6*10^19 steam engines in a car.

So are gasoline cars. They run on gas and air!

I use my start menu to get to my home folder, documents, computer, network... etc. I also pin some programs to it. Any replacements for that functionality?
