   I've noticed that you have more flexibility in choosing your mechanic with an American car because the mechanic will be more familiar with them. My parents' mechanic did great work on their American SUV but kept botching their Volvo.

   Personally, I would love Siri on my TV. It would be awesome to just say the name of a show without viewing the channel guide.

    Thanks for updating, I just wanted to give a warning those of us at work and make it as visible as possible. I think the site looks great by the way! It definitely had potential.

    I'm not very experienced in electronics, but couldn't you constantly store the source electricity in some sort of storage (battery, capacitors) and then dump it quickly into cars? This may not be feasible due to the efficiencies or safety

    How does Swizzy have the time for this? In addition to being CEO of Megaupload, he's making tracks for other artists, making tracks for himself, attending media and event appearances, touring, and maintaining a marriage and social life. I

    I'm curious why they don't work together. I looked it up on Wikipedia and it seems to say cast iron should work fine. I have no personal experience with an induction range.
