If you have to be a hypermiler to get the results on the sticker, then the sticker is misleading.
Not to say the tests aren't useful - it will still give you a pretty good idea when comparing vehicles - but don't try to compare the results to the completely-different US tests or to your own experience... most people don't remove their rear-view mirrors, over-inflate their tires, and tape up the gaps in the body work each time they drive their car.
You really are determined. But you can't troll me on this because I really don't care whether the Concorde flies or not - I have much higher priorities for the money that it would take to ride on the thing.
1. Style of driving is different. Stop and go highway driving with a stick shift blows. 2. Government mileage tests in the US are more realistic and so do not give manual transmissions much benefit.
I say this as someone who likes stick shifts and is sad to see their demise.
I had to disable it once, in mid slow-motion skid on snow as I was approaching a retaining wall. I'm not sure what the car was trying to do, but it was not working.
You are stuck in an argument from 2006. Keyboards will not go away - as you imply, they are needed for real work. But the consumer world has moved on - you absolutely do not need a keyboard for consumption, or even social media. The "fad of smallness" already was under attack when Zoolander parodied it in 2001. The iPhone began the re-biggering of mass market cell phones, and they seem to have settled on a 5-6 inch form factor given their current capabilities.
How in the world will "mobile" go away? I don't pretend to know what the Next Big Thing is, but people are not going to return to physical keyboards anytime soon. I'm sitting on the couch with a laptop right now, but only because the kids have the tablets. This laptop is 6 years old, and I doubt I'd bother with another except that I need to do real work on it - as you point out, much of the new efforts are directed towards mobile.
Well that depends... if there was a pandemic quickly approaching my area and you told me that this mystery vial had protected 4 of 6 subjects where the controls all died I might still take it. If you are talking about something like HPV, than yeah, I'll wait for the big studies.
While that is a very interesting study, it's hard to see how that applies here. Cancer is a much harder thing to check for than screening for effective vaccines. Cancer you are looking for a weak signal in the noise, vaccines you simply count corpses.
If you are doing screening experiments and the signal is very high, then 6 subjects is plenty. In vaccines you need a fairly high success rate anyway. I doubt n=6 anyway - there were 6 controls and I'd wager more than just one vaccine was tested at the same time.
In both cases, the wars were unwinnable because you had proxies providing material support without any real repercussions. The fighters are in plentiful supply because they are pissed off about the state of their country. The materiel is plentiful because it is being supplied from outside the country by entities that we can't, for political or practical reasons, go after. At that point you have to decide whether to go into "kill everyone" mode or just get the hell out.

What is the appropriate language to use when declining a left nut?
Virtually the same protocol as the right nut.

The linked article was a US site. If they are using British gallons then they are truly morons.
I'll gladly hand you my left nut if that thing really gets 70mpg in daily use. The European mileage tests are absolutely silly.
Yeah, but I want my money to go to things like "my kids' college fund" and "a new car" rather than a short thrill ride. I'm not their demographic :)

Trolling aside, it is unlikely that they will pay to go over land where supersonic travel would be prohibited.
It's not the stick - it's the clutch. The stick alone might be a welcome distraction from the taillights in front of you.

They are more efficient, and thus burn a bit less CO2 - but we're in the 10% range, depending on your driving style.

That's a great idea...
If they start selling $200-ish phones, sell your stock. That market is a total black hole for profits.
I know people who just "borrow" a friend's Comcast credentials and use the omnipresent xfinitiy wifi.

Just make the terms of service define "their" data as "your" data.
Where is the ratio of males to females 1:3? Have you already passed into heaven?
Who would want to use a display underwater, anyway?
Yes, I do. I don't use a case, so I want the phone to be nice and hold up well in my pocket.
However, I also want it to be cheap and sometimes this wins out over nice.
Yes, influenza vaccines would need to be very safe, indeed :)
