No a manual can not change gears without pressing the clutch and you can not start the engine without either pressing the clutch or have it in neutral.

Secondly in a manual, the car will if you release all pedals slow down (using engine braking) until the engine stalls and shuts off.

That is my experience too, and I was growing ghost peppers myself. I would not recommend them for anything but homemade teargas (just pop one of them on a hot frying pan).

Habaneroes all the way. They taste much better and if you only use the chili meat and not the seeds you get a slow delayed burning that doesn't burn in the mouth but just starts warming you nicely from the inside some 10 minutes later (also a great surprise for beginners - this is not that hot - 10 minutes later - oh god oh god, please kill me now!). Ghost chilies on the other hand just burns always all the time, and are at best flavorless.

Getting behind the wheel of an automatic and putting it into gear and it starts moving is scary! Cars are designed to go to a halt without active user input, but for some reason automatics has mindblowingly retarded defaults that makes them move unless you floor the brake! Automatics are just scary scary things of EPIC UI FAIL!

This is getting in line with the rest of Europe as it gives the same privacy rights that most European countries have. This is nothing new or spectacular, it is common legal status in many countries and doesn't cause nearly the amount of trouble Anglo-saxon privacy haters think.

Comment Re:Apple not "seeking" $40 per device (Score 1) 406

The title and summary are clearly slanted by how it describes the case as Apple demanding $40 per Samsung device, then uses that claim to say Apple "is asking for obscenely high patent royalties". If you read the rest of the summary carefully (no, I didn't read the article!), what is happening is an Apple expert witness will be presenting evidence that the patents in use by Samsung are worth (by his judgement) $40 per device.

Being an expert witness for Apple he is payed by Apple, so that what Apple payed him to say.
