i looked out across the parking lot during one of the many, many meetings today at work, (don't worry, i am not important) and saw the hood of my 3"(!!!) lowered 2007 tacoma pickup was almost the same height as a toyota t1000 (remember when the T1000 was marketed as a full-size truck?) sitting next to it. why must each vehicle be bigger than the previous model? of course, someone will say, "safety!" aren't formula 1 cars safer today than they were 10 years ago? yes, a little slower, but not much. bigger? nope. fat ass, killswitch wanting IDIOT americans. i am an american and i approve this message.

I put 520 miles on a 2007 toyota tacoma 2.7 liter 4-cylinder with each tank of fuel. :~)> I am not defending the GP... not even close. I just want an electric car that can do 200 miles per day at about 70 mph average. Who wouldn't want an electric car? Seriously! They are so cool and so quiet!!! I drive 900 miles per week for my job. Yes, I hate it.

you got me. i fail at doing the internetz.

Unless it is a motorola on verizon. They like to give you the hardware, but no ability to take full advantage of it. Gotta buy more to use what you already "own": http://www.intomobile.com/2010/08/30/droid-x-gets-full-hdmi-output-courtesy-of-real-hdmi/

cory? is that you? man, good times were had by all... well, maybe not all.

to try and cure him... to try to cure him.... which sounds better to you?

no, i wasn't being sarcastic. i honestly have 1 friend and probably 2 or 3 acquaintances (co-workers that i will generally converse with about non-work related things). oh yeah, i don't have a facebook account. i should probably be modded troll or off-topic.

it seems to me that it is ALWAYS someone you know that decides to "borrow" all of your things while you are away from home. now that i have done what i can to remove all "friends" from my life, my belongings tend to stay where i left them.

The United States still leads the world in manufacturing. We won't next year - the Chinese will take over then. short and sweet article to save you all some trouble: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=102761476

didn't James May just go about 268mph in a car recently?

Indeed!!! I was there in Huntsville, TX missing out on all of the goodness of the 'D' grade during the 80's. I was hoping that someone other than me would have experienced the same and read slashdot, also.

does nokia use/license the efuse from IBM?

Pressing problems like my drive of 90 miles one-way to work each day. If I only had about $75,000 in cash "money-money", I could pay off my current house and have a decent down payment for a house within walking distance. I don't ask for much. I am a simple man. I wonder if I could just raffle my current house...
