If your numbers are based on the on-board computer, they're wrong. The computer usually states something higher than what you actually get. Even the MPH is a lie, as the speedometer is set to be higher by 3-9 MPH. In the real world, I haven

I'm curious, how do gas hybrids have an edge? If you consider reliability, a diesel has no "technology", so there are fewer things to go wrong. The issue of emissions has been addressed with BlueTec. No?

I wasn't comparing a normal car to this, as this is an edge case. I am talking about the choices we make when purchasing a car. Almost everyone that I spoke to that has a hybrid doesn't consider it worth the money. These manufacturers adver

I drive a diesel, and I love it. I'm so surprised that all of these hybrids are "revolutionary" yet they offer almost no improvement over something similar with a diesel engine. My 1.9L diesel engine gets 40+ MPG everyday for the past few y

I am curious about how much a coffee machine really costs. I don't think it can be that much to merit getting rid of it. People that try to save a few pennies usually waste much more elsewhere...

Agreed! And I actually have an idea on how this can be done, but no time to implement it...

But, think about if a criminal duplicates the design and screws it to the front of existing / old machines? Most users will think that it's not a skimmer but the "secure" device. Also: Place the skimmer to the LEFT most portion of the horiz

I don't know if the design is effective... what prevents anyone from installing a skimmer on/within this device?

Not at all. When this story first made headlines, I thought: Why did the NZ government allow the US to do this on their land in the first place? I just noticed that in the states, sometimes you don't necessarily get treated fairly in edge c

Agreed 100%! Leave ASAP because your time is valuable and you need to make the most of the limited time you have :)

I'm sure the New Zealand Supreme Court is awesome, but I wonder how much traction this would've gotten if it was not publicized all around the world...

I dont, as I've had a bad customer service experience with Newegg. But it was only once, and they did budge once I contacted google "trusted" stores team.

Most of the arguments are biased opinions and can't really be defended. But... if you don't like wordpress, why not assess projects such as Symfony2 or Drupal?

Adding another system to the mix is just another system that can be vulnerable to an attack. Once someone is in and they understand how everything works, there is no stopping them.

I think he was over-reacting. Titles describe what we do, and to a certain degree, there can be a number of titles that can describe the work we do.

I don't think the author meant that people aren't walking calculators. I believe he implies that people don't want to understand how to evaluate a math problem. Most people that "can do" math still use a calculator; additionally, they under
