My last car had breaks, plugs and wires, tires, and oil changes to get to 100k (maybe a tail lite too).

Are you kidding?

100k miles used to be a big deal, now it's not uncommon to hit that without any unscheduled maitenance.

And the scheduled maitenance is dramatically reduced too.

The more complex cars are far more reliable.

All this talk of preparing to launch a service makes me nervous.

Are they going to drop google play music all access? Because I'm starting to really like it.

The I feel lucky will shuffle through the music I like in various genres whenever I click it. It keeps the sound of a consistent station with music I like, and I reload until it's the type of music I'm in the mood for. I hope the new service is as good.

Still need to eat the Burger every now and again for b12 I assume.

isn't that what XUL (is that what Mozilla uses?) was supposed to be?

Are you serious?

Could you imagine what 10,000 DC sniper style people could do to the government, it would grind to a halt, and possibly trigger open revolt with the other tens of millions of owners as government failed to protect.

I'm not saying it's good, but it's silly to think 10,000 rebels couldnt' fuck up the government.

This, yes, thank you.

As someone that's neutral on weather we have too much or too little gun control (it seems unlikely we have the perfect amount, but I suppose it's possible), I find the specifics boring and useless, because we have the second amendment, and I want the constitution to count for something. /me naive

I got the Motorola e ink phone (with 12 segment characters by 8 or so across) for $25 on Amazon as a back up phone a few years ago, it was a $15 dollar phone for India too.

They didn't turn of the ignition because they didn't know how, do to the fact they purchased a $20k+ device and didn't read the manual.

To kill the ignition hold for three seconds I think (don't own one).

I agree, I was just pointing out that the indignation about 50mb seems misplaced, the price is absurd though. Really dig tmo for the free international roaming.

Even when if wasn't, it was a much more reasonable price, I did a few data bursts when traveling once, and if was around $70 total.

I'm not convinced the phone didn't sync 50MB in one minute if data had been off for a while.

Also, free data roaming (internationally ) at 2g speeds.

It was enough for me to use the maps and even yelp in a pinch.

Plus, all my email would sync in the background.

They also give 2.5 GB of tethering with the unlimited data plan ( which I frequently break into the 5-10 GB range in a month ).

Also, I've used free airport WiFi, it universally sucks. Absolutely not enough bandwidth.

I would gladly pay $5 if that's enough to deter 50% of the users, especially if I had business to do.

I feel the same way about in flight access, the $5.00 on Southwest is practically unusable, but $10.00 on US air seems to be enough to drop usage to the point that it's worth it.

I'm all for standards, but I don't think battery shape, size, and placement for a car is a good thing to standardize. Too limiting for design I'd predict.

Also, valve is gonna want this for Steam OS.
