A brief flash of the high beams is a request to move over temporarily. It is *not* rude, nor is it dangerous. It's the tailgating that can be dangerous, so just move over when somebody clearly wants to pass.
These cars typically achieve their best mileage using a 'coast and burn' strategy. They run the engine full throttle until they reach ~20mph, then cut the engine. This way the engine is always operating at peak efficiency (no throttling losses). This driving technique could be a little impractical in stop-and-go traffic...
Highly amusing 50's 'greaser' movie with Salma Hayek and David Arquette. Apparently made for TV originally, but has high productions values, considering.
But the system was quickly becoming outdated. The G3 processor combined with the Rage 128 graphics (barely updated since its introduction) simply does not run OS X very well. On an early iMac, it's downright painful. The only remaining G3, the iBook, only runs X acceptably because of its better graphics chipset.
<rant> These things really make me mad. You have to be incredibly lazy to want one of these things. Why put an internal combustion engine on the most efficient form of transportation? With the level of gear reduction on most bikes, you can ride up any hill you can walk up... These must be for people who can't even walk uphill. </rant>
I worked at getting wireless to work in dorm rooms and apartment buildings, and never arrived at a perfect, cost-effective solution. Concrete floors and walls make some effective shielding. We ended up putting a separate access point and radiax antenna in the middle of the ceiling for each floor. Coverage is good but not great, and this was both labor-intensive and costly.
You could put an access point in every other room, but even at $100 for a cheap one, the cost would mount quickly. If you passed this on to the guests, they would be likely to choose wired access for a fraction of the cost.

I think it's "Big Gay Al" from South Park.
Mod parent up- I totally agree.

Well, first you need two PCIE cards that have decent open Linux drivers so you can tweak them...good luck.
Newegg.com has a multi-pack with several (5?) DVD-R, one DVD-RW, and *one* DVD-R Dual Layer for sale... I recall it is something like $25 for the pack
