It really depends on the car. I have a 4cyl Toyota pickup, stick shift, and I always beat the EPA estimates. Of course I don't drive all that crazy so maybe that helps.
There's no need for one once you cancel cable. 90% of my TV viewing comes from Netflix, which is more than paid for by the $45 a month (which seemed to be increasing by a buck every couple month, but hey, 12 more channels of women's entertainment and how to remodel your house) that I'm not giving to Time Warner. The other 10% of my viewing is filled with broadcast episodes of the Simpsons.
I prefer the lower right corner method. Soooooo many times on Windows I mean to click something else, and accidentally grab the window border and expand it. This happens to me all the time, and it drives me nuts. Having one spot means I hardly ever make that mistake on OS X.
Why is it that I don't have these same memory leaks that everyone else seems to have? I run FF2 on my work XP machine, and on my OS X laptop at home. Rarely do I see FF take up more than 120MB of RAM, and I leave it on all the time, with Adblock and Flashblock running. In fact, I found FF2 to be much more memory efficient than 1.5.
Anything I buy from iTunes gets burned to an audio cd anyway. If for some reason I start taking some crazy drug which makes me buy a zune, I'll reimport it. I do not have the ability to discern the quality loss. Audiophiles annoy the crap out of me.
Interesting...our network is completely self contained and does not touch the internet at all. I wonder how this will work for networks like mine (no plans to upgrade anytime in the near future, and since we use the workstations to run Citrix-based apps, it doesn't matter what OS we use.)
I'm not necessarily against that idea, I am just tired of being told that I shouldn't have a say because I don't pay school taxes. I notice quite the correlation of tax hikes and rent hikes.
Move school funding to being a part of income taxes, not just property taxes as well since those who rent instead of own tend not to pay into the school system.
I'm sick of hearing this. Are you telling me that when the property taxes go up 15%, my rent is not going to go up? I am definitely still paying for it.
The aether explanation for Relativity is actually much simpler to understand than Relativity.
So if something is hard to understand, it must be wrong? I wish that excused worked in my math classes in high school.
I know exactly one person who has an HDTV. It's just not that important to most people. When they replace their TV's when they eventually break, and HDTV is the norm, then we'll start to care.
I actually worked for a company that a did a lot of the initial work in designing the storage system used at StarFire
I always wondered why it was StarFire in the cartoon but JetFire as the figure.
I shave my head as well as my face. Usually I use a Mach3, but one time I decided to buy a pack of the 3 bladed generics. I looked like a freaking George Romero movie when I was finished. My skull was nothing but blood. You should have seen their faces when I took them back 10 minutes later. "Excuse me, I need to exchange these for something that works." No questions asked.
Unfortunately they never get rid of ancient tech. Most new computers still come with floppy drives and parallel ports (and no I don't care that you need a floppy drive to install your obscure SCSI controller, get rid of the friggin things.)
If you're scared by a floating palette, you might as well just lock your doors and not step outside the house. Christ it's a word processor, they all do the same damn things. Geowrite 128 on my Commodore did the same things.
The only benefit I could see to that is that with almost every bag of potatoes I get, more than half go rotten. I just don't eat enough to justify a bag. On the other hand tossing it all out doesn't cost me any more, so I still buy the bags.
Ready made? Ugh, like 50 cents a pound more for small patties? Hell no, buy a few pounds of ground meat and make nice big burgers yourself, seasoned with some worcestershire, cooked over charcoal grill.....ok gotta wipe off this drool now.

I've heard the speculation about using capacitors like batteries a few times. Are they being used in any electronics in production yet?
batteries that don't wear out Please let me know where I can find these wondrous batteries.
GeoWrite 128. Does the same things I do in Word, but runs in 128k of RAM. Of course you need to dig up a Commodore and an 80 column monitor...
Sign your life away? Good lord what is so hard about reading the details, and getting a contract which suits you?

So the hope is they hatch before the egg hits the ground?
Apparently you grew up in a home where people didn't know how to cook...
