  1. pretty inefficient. on Star Flung From Milky Way at High Speed · · Score: 1

  3. low tech is best on Privacy in the Woods? · · Score: 1

  4. An Insight Owner Speaks. on Hybrid/Electric Vehicles: Should I Buy? · · Score: 1

    I own a 2000 Honda Insight with 60k miles on it in Denver Colorado for three years of sun, snow, and rain
    I love the car, it has run great in anything but unplowed snow over 1' (then it tends to toboggan due to low clearance). It'a great car that hasn't had any problems and is alot of fun to drive. I have completed the Denver-Las Vegas run (700 miles) on one tank of gas. Gets attention from intellegent people, including women. Worth it just for that. Go for the full Hybrid Civic if you want no compromises from a normal car, go for the Insight if you want to turn heads, don't need a back seat, and want insane (64 mpg baby!) milage.

    Best Regards,

  8. Re:Space Station is on Solaris! on Hubble's Computers Upgraded · · Score: 1

    I read a Sun blurb somewhere that the ISS runs all control systems off of two x86 pentium laptops, (primary & backup), and all the astronauts use laptops running windows.
