  1. Re:Boring on Jeep Wrangler Call of Duty Black Ops Edition · · Score: 1

    I agree.. it looks like a Rubicon without the locking D44's and unlocking swaybar

  2. Re:Mountain Edition ? on Jeep Wrangler Call of Duty Black Ops Edition · · Score: 1

    SWB Jeep makes it past obstacles.. F250 cries, gets wrapped around tree trying to get around tight corner... BUT i will use the F250 to flat tow the jeep home after a day of fun.

  3. Re:Mountain Edition ? on Jeep Wrangler Call of Duty Black Ops Edition · · Score: 1

    the Jeeps short wheelbase is never good for towing.. its not an F250, not in the same class at all.. so its pointless to compare.. only thing that comes to mind that makes a fair comparison is LandRover, Toyota FJ and maybe some short wheelbase FX4's. Jeeps are Jeeps... they have gotten a little more soccer-mom-ish recently.. that being said the Wrangler JKs (2007+) are one of the most offroad capable production jeeps around.. the Rubi edition has electric lockers and electric swaybar disconnects.. they even have more ground clearance than their older bretheren. Talk all you want about what truck you drive, whoopi do... Chances are you wont see a Slashdot article about a 20 year old F250 anytime soon.

  4. There is a market for it im sure on Jeep Wrangler Call of Duty Black Ops Edition · · Score: 5, Informative
    I'm an offroader.. I own a Jeep.. I do a lot of modifications to the Jeep... as such I participate in a lot of online discussion about Jeep fabrication.. There has always been people making Tomb Raider Jeeps, Jurassic Park Jeeps and endless 'military' style jeeps... some people start with an actually CJ3B and make it look like it came straigh outta WWII and some people take the newer Wranglers and make camo... The 32" tires alone make the Jeep a decent buy, I didn't read all about it, but hopefully they use the Rubicon platform for this, so the Jeep is actually somewhat capable off the shelf..

    However, I'm the Jeep enthuisast who beleive tough Jeeps are BUILT and not BOUGHT

  6. Re:Please not more fliers... please! on Google Is Going Postal In Sweden · · Score: 1

    yah, becuase McDonalds coupons in the mailbox violate your rights? on an aside, I knew a guy who heated his garage solely with junk mail.. using a compactor and a airtight woodstove.. it was pretty slick.. it got to the point where friends and neuighbours would be dropping off boxes of junk mail for him. for a weekend mechanic / beer drinker like me.. thats cann add up to about 800 dollars in savings for a winter

    The ONLY benefactor is google.

    I don't think thats the word you looking for. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benefactor

    Perhaps beneficiary is what you meant to say. I don't usually call out spelling/grammatical errors, but the wrong word here changes the entire meaning of your statement... aside from that, I agree with you.

    Why should we have to expend money and energy to climb this cliff, to get stuff that we can easier get down here?

    Becuase we can, what else have we got going on. I for one am tired of watching my roomba bounce off the coffee table.

  14. Re:Headline Is So Very Wrong on How Google Avoided Paying $60 Billion In Taxes · · Score: 1

    They buy the yacht in a private sale down in the tropics (becuase they can afford a summer home) and dont pay a dime of your federal sales tax.. We've got those taxes here in canada.. Federal sales tax, provincial sales tax and our income tax is still huge.. sales tax taxes the poor, not the rich.. they are much easier to get around...

    If they contract their observatory / lab to major institutions to performing scientific work, this could be a net gain. A nice functioning town will evolve around the observatory.
