It’s 7.5 l/100km, which is 32 mpg if my math is correct.

This combo has its pluses. I used to have a 5l x6 (550hp or thereabouts?) and its 0-60 kmh time from a red light was a very big bonus in the morning rush traffic ^__^

In related news - if you ever wanted the S series, now is the time to pick one up. I went it to look at their e-trons and tfsi-e (hybrids), because that’s what responsible adults do nowadays, and ended up leaving with an S6, because it was

Where did all the brouhaha with Russia banning Telegram end? From what I understand it seems to be operational and rather popular there. Did the state give up or did Telegram end up “cooperating” with them?

Having permanent location will kill the very business model of Olympics, which is to allow participating entities to drain ridiculous amounts of money from the next location and to ensure the well-being of the Olympics selection committee t

If they would want to make OP’s life difficult, they will find a way. Even through the protocol reversing angle. Most likely there’s a clause in their EULA that prohibits reversing anything related once you start using a product. The on

Per-site caching negates the principal selling point of centrally-hosted JS and resources, including fonts. The convenience remains, but all speed-related perks (due to the resources being reused from earlier visits to unrelated sites) are

On one hand we have this. On the other hand we have genuine Bose replacement cushions that start to flake out not two years after very light use. Not aftermarket, but their own ridiculously expensive units bought directly from them. I hav

Re: picture in picture - anyone else here think that this feature doesn't belong to a browser? It just seems so... erm... random, basically. Looks like something that was cloned from some other product and rather crudely shoehorned in.

It's easy enough to implement correct API usage semantics in a program of any size. If you need to rely on RAII in order not to screw things up, then it's an issue with the coding style or the application design. That's what

As someone else aptly remarked - NASA is no longer a space exploration agency. It's now an employment agency. Hence the glacial pace.

Exactly what I was thinking. China can simply shut down the public transport system next time and that will do it. No violence, no tear gas.

I was going to ask how they would check if the answer is correct, because they too would need "35 years" to find it... ... but then I realized that N is a product of two primes, which Rivest knows, so he can take a shortcut and

A company that sold itself to a Chinese consortium for $600M announces a free VPN service. That's some high quality humor.

The court order is aimed at ISPs and it's trivial for the latter to proxy all DNS traffic on their edge and NXDOMAIN court-ordered domains regardless of the resolver used.

Where did you see that exactly? Looked at several headers at random just now (including file, net) and they seem OK. Not terribly verbose, but not exactly cryptic. In terms of 'p' vs 'position' - 'p' is an extr

If I read the code correctly, ta_free() is O(n), whereby n is a number of allocated blocks. That's not very good. PS. Also the block alignment is aligning the wrong thing. It should be aligning the start of the public (returned) part,

In Perestroika times there was a brief period when there were _vodka_ stamps in Russia. There were problems with both food and spirits, but only the latter was rationed through stamps.
