Not quite. When I was dead broke, I used to have bread sandwiches. On really spare days, I'd have half a bread sandwich.

This is very possible. However, you can do both the right thing as well as protecting yourself by providing the evidence to the police in an anonymous fashion.

The first three steps were 1)hold breath 2)cross fingers 3)pray. Always not a good thing when dealing with such a vital system component. I hated flashing the things, since there was always a real possibility of turning them into lightweigh

They had a high rate of warranty replacements for several years...so much so that it cost the founder and CEO his job. It's pretty hard to make money when you have to provide two products for the price of one. It went on for so long th

That's a 3in fallacy. The battery in the Tesla S is significantly more resistant to damage than any passenger car fuel tank I've ever seen. Do you honestly think that Tesla left that pack hanging underneath the car totally unprote

Well if they used Windows, at least we'd occasionally get free ISS parts showing up in our backyards. FTR: I'm a Windows user.

Yeah, huge gaps aren't evidence of cheating. There was once race in 2003 or 4 when Schumi lapped the entire field up to 3rd place. He technically came in 1st and 4th place. :)

Yeah, the weird plut-plut-plut of the Renault engine in the RBR is a result of the cold blowing. KERS based traction control would be silent.

There are no driver aids in F1. No ABS, no (legal) traction control.

How it would work is to use the KERS to charge during engine acceleration. A brilliant idea, and it wouldn't have to be plumbed into the standard McLaren ECU all the teams have to use. Lewis Hamilton stated that Vettel's RBR car w

I just looked at my comments and submissions for the last year. 12 comments and zero submissions. Before, I'd punch out 12 comments in a day. The problem started with the lateness of the submissions...easily trailing other sites by day

I should refine what I said in that I meant Gmail's UI has always had suck here and there. Other features like the bang-on spam filtering are pure brilliance, and I love the way it sticks ads and social network crap into their own fold

To be fair to Google, Gmail has always sucked...but it sucked many millions of times less than Hotmail or Yahoo mail, and still sucks many millions of times less than them even with the new revamp.
