"Teslas have 21" wheels normally. He was driving on 19" snow tires. If the system logging his speed wasn't calibrated for the wheel difference you'd see the logs indicate speeds about 10% higher than Broder was actually traveling. "
Logic fail? Why are you assuming 2 separate systems for measuring speed? I suppose they could have used GPS for their logs, but it didn't say that anywhere. Most likely the cars speedometer and the speed on the logs came from the same source. Any error due to tire size would have affected both equally.

At the risk of not actually answering the question you asked, why not use Windows 8? One click and you are on the desktop, and the experience is roughly the same as windows 7. If that one click is too much effort, install Classic Shell, and get almost exactly the same experience as windows 7. It works for me (YMMV).
Did you seriously think they were carrying diesel in open buckets? They were almost certainly using proper fuel containers (ie gas cans). Bucket brigade is a figure of speech.
The Globe and Mail put up a 10 free samples per month, then we block you and redirect you to a subscription nag screen wall. It was mildly annoying to have to click on somebody else's link to the same story, until I made a wild guess and found that firefox private browsing mode disabled the block.
Isn't looking for historical evidence of some guy named Jesus in Palestine 2000 years ago a bit like looking for historic evidence of some guy named Dave in Pittsburgh in 1972?
My personal favorite version of this is "Even if it only saves one life, it will be worth it" usually uttered by some will intentioned lackwit who wants you or the government to spend a huge sum of money to fix some minor safety issue. The proper answer to this is "You are an idiot. If we spend that money on we can save many more lives. Why should all those people die so you can maybe save that one person"
In Canada we used to believe the word of an RCMP officer over the word of a citizen. The we had the Dziekanski case, where the video clearly showed that the cops were lying. Not only did they lie in their initial reports, but they continued to lie at the public inquiry, even though the video evidence clearly showed they were lying. I think if it came to a "he said she said" with the Mounties now, the citizen would be more likely to be believed.
I'm almost certain Gore wouldn't have invaded Iraq. I'm reasonably certain he wouldn't have invaded Afghanistan. The enormous cost to America, in lives and treasure, of those two wars does not seem to have brought corresponding benefits.
I've often wondered, naively no doubt, why there isn't a bigger bias towards re-electing the incumbent. After all the incumbent has 4 years job experience as president and the challenger has none.

You are, of course, free to call yourself whatever you like. However I will point out that there are very large numbers of Christians who, based on that statement, would strongly disagree that you are in fact a Christian.
The tracker needs to go on mom and dad. Ask any 3 year old and they'll tell you "I never get lost but mom and dad get lost sometimes and they freak out when they do"
Wow. I've been going to concerts for ever. First show - Peter Frampton and Donovan 1976. They have always had patdowns at the door. It's part of the concert experience. They don't give a damn about your weed, the just want to keep bottles and fireworks out. Go see a metal show, they don't pretend its family friendly. You owe it to yourself to see Rammstein before you die.
Really? I know language evolves, but is that necessary? Does the meaning of the sentence change if I say "...performs better than low-end 5 year old gear? "
While I'm certainly in favor of giving consumers more information, a GMO label doesn't really do this. Corn and bananas have undergone extensive selective breeding to yield products that appear grossly different from their ancestral plants. Does that count as genetically modified? NO What about seedless varieties of fruit? NO What about grafting a branch of one species of fruit-bearing tree onto the roots/trunk of another species? NO What if I take a naturally occurring gene for hardiness from a plant found in the wild and add it to a cultivated plant of the same species? YES What if I take that naturally occurring gene and add it to a plant from a different species? YES What if I create a hybrid gene not found in nature and add that to my crops? YES The average consumer is ill equipped to interpret these distinctions, and so I don't think a carte blanche GMO label really serves consumers' interests or justifies its own cost. NO
Wrong way to get linux help - Q. Hi, I just installed $Distro, How do I get my HP all-in one printer to print color? A1 - RTFM NOOB!!, A2 - Why would you want to do that? Seriously? a3. You should have bought a compatible printer. The hardware compatibility list doesn't list your HP does it?
Right Way. Q. $Distro sucks, I've tried everything I can think of to get my HP all-in one printer to print color and it still doesn't work. I'm going to install XP, at least then I can print. A1. Don't do that, try editing $wtf.conig and setting output =color. A2 Don't do that, here is a shell that will patch your $wtf.config and your printer will work just fine.
Just curious, why the hate on NCIX. They seem to be cheap, everything is in stock or shows up in a couple of days. I order on the internet, pick up in the store (usually on the same day). Extra bonus, Barbecue pork buns at the bakery across the way in the mall.

Wouldn't you have to enhance first.
Oh hell. I just looked at the picture in TFA. They were carrying it in buckets. Buckets with lids, but not fuel cans. You were right, I was wrong.

Dear Flummoxed.
We are told that in your country there are people who eat roast beef well done, by choice. You have no claim on the culinary moral high ground.

People would tell me - "you always have to be right, don't you!". It took a long time for me to realize this was criticism and not praise.

He's _implying_ that it is not related to his regular employment. Need to be pedantic.
I feel bad about this, but the opening is big enough to drive a semi truck through.

Just don't shower for a few days.
"more performant"??
