They come from my keyboard, just above the QWERTYUIOP keys. They are referencing currency.

Wow that's very interesting, I didn't know that. Although going by year is a little arbitrary (a 1995 honda vs a 2005 GM SUV?) I do support the concept. Personally I'd like to see most city centers car free.

I would wager that 80% of cars that are crushed (which weren't in an accident) could be repaired (if broken) or 'fixed up' to operate better than the last owner thought possible for less than a days work and perhaps a few hun

Oh, and one more thing. Go walk around the yard of a tow company. Be prepared to feel sick. You'll come away with the conclusion that the standard crash tests, which are well designed for common accidents, are still just a small minori

I'm sure it will. $23 for a few years is Ok though... it only takes 30 mins to swap it out.

And don't forget the 'cost of money'. Take the purchase price, $35k, minus an old car, say $5k, and you have $30k making money for you over the 20 years. Conservatively, even in a bank in some countries, the return from $30k

Great point. I have watched hundreds (not exaggerating). Sobering. New in general is much better than old. But, it gets complicated. The strength of the cage the passengers are in hasn't improved much, what has is how they behave in ve

It's gasoline. You're thinking of diesel.

JshWright got it of course - reuse, then recycle, then buy new if you have to. Mine is an E320 wagon. Any W124 or W126 chassis is a good bet as it's before Merc started going down hill in build quality.

This is a good place to share this with geeks who may not be into cars: I drive a 1994 Mercedes (W124 chassis). One of the most reliable cars ever made. Simple to repair yourself. A TON of info available online for anything you could want t

Very good question. Shame no replies

Exactly my thought as soon as I looked at the lack of comments. How is it this community can debate some inconsequential nonsense, and there is no discussion here of how we get a consistent set of meta-data for these data sources. There are

If this community can't pin point the problem together, then there is something up here. Clearly this warrants Google, Apple, the telcos and someone from an electronic forensic team each putting a part time expert into a team to figure

Which hash did he use? The change you link to has the same SHA-256 as the first option both before and after the change. Did he use something else? I'm curious to know your thoughts on the scenario whereby another hash would be chosen

I think there are a lot of engineers on here who only express a single language style. In the business world I see writing style changing depending on who one is talking to - a trait I don't generally see in engineers. Who knows the mi

Birds and turtles are curious about drifting things, like boats. And both are easy to catch (well, relatively). I haven't caught fish with my hands but at sea been in situations where it didn't seem impossible. And the fishermen I

My cat stood on the power button for too long on my keyboard today and killed my work-in-progress. I think renting might be better than owning as I could be without a kitty when working.
