Covered rear wheels help decrease drag which equates to better fuel economy. The reason most fuel economic vehicles look fugly is because they chose function over form to decrease drag as best they can.

So the real question is how long will this "unadvertised plan" last? Unless it's officially offered then this isn't a permanent solution nor a reason to say, "AT&T is better than VZW!!"

You know what, I agree with you. Our votes are useless. At least voting gives me an opportunity to say I tried when the system fails and I grab the rifle with my fellow patriot.

I will not be voting D or R this election. I don't care who it is, but it won't be them (tea party isn't a party).

I have friends who work at Universal, according to HR, "it is quite an exciting time to be working apart of the NBC Universal family."

Who wants to predict a big round of layoffs in the entertainment industry pretty soon?

Agreed. You don't see wine and liquor stores or even distilleries freaking out about the same thing.

I know exactly where they are. Do you know how they keep theft down? By having closed circuit TV cameras and a silent alarm that calls the police.

If these are private businesses then they need to learn how to protect their product from outside and inside theft.

Lets compare Independence Day to say Avatar. In Independence Day they actually blew up a small scale replica of a city with mini explosions. In Avatar you had them all behind keyed behind a stunning computer generated background.

I think the combination of high def and computer generated graphics took the luster of explosions away. Watching Independence Day, Star Wars, Terminator 1 and 2, etc are still really cool to watch simply because they couldn't over rely on computers to do the graphics. They had to physically make the explosions.

And by it I mean registration, not forcing everyone into editing articles anonymously. Man this has been one long weekend.

The link forwards to a conversation between Wikipedia admins. It seems like there is just one user being a prick. Why not just require user registration for IPs that come from Verizon? Hell, why not require registration for every edit on Wikipedia? I love the idea of being able to make anonymous edits, but seriously wouldn't it make their lives easier by just requiring it for everyone?

The answer is more diesel powered vehicles. Diesel has a higher energy content and with modern CDI engines can be as fast and greener than a typical gas engine. Although while the cost per gallon of diesel is higher, a small to mid sized diesel passenger car can get 45-55 mpg. Throw in better aerodynamics and we can have more fuel efficient vehicles.

I'm under 30 and I have always had a side table alarm clock. It has a very reliable 9 volt backup battery as well. I once disconnected the clock's power cord and it happily went on doing its daily job for a whole month until the battery died. It has a radio, three different alarm presets, time/date, and it cost me 8$.

He was wearing sunglasses. The man was on a power trip and should have acted like the officer to the right of him. Patiently watching the protesters and making sure they have their right to voice their problem.

Thanks for the reply to my post. I read the article, but I can tell you know I would be really annoyed if some kids started sending me text messages in Spanish.

So the summary went from an anti sexting patent, some parental control application, to learning Spanish by changing the phone's default language, and finally to close a way to protect our celebrities from their antics.

I don't tend to complain about the summaries, but man I guess I am going to have to go and read the article now to make sense of this summary.

I just spent a lot of cash on the Waves Mastering Suite for Pro Tools. In fact any "multimedia" software has a crazy price. I figure they do this to milk media companies for all that they're worth.

I took the college required SAT test in 2003. On that test I was allowed to use a TI84 (and all of is variants). The TI86 onwards was not allowed. My problem with mathematics is that I take my time and not rush things. I always fudge up formulas along the way.

The math section is a speed test to determine who can do it the fastest. I had a factoring program I downloaded from TI-Calc.org that let me factor polynomials in roughly 10 seconds. Factoring by hand takes me so much longer.

So really I wasn't making this up. But in the end my score on the test wasn't very good so if using the program kept me from looking like an even bigger idiot to college admissions panel than so be it. I'm happily employed (with health insurance/pension) and doing very well regardless of what this stupid test tried to show./p
