It seems to me that on many of the newer cars I can hear tire noise before I can hear the engine at low speeds. I really would like to see the hybrid and non hybrid accident statistics of two civics. I think that the whole engine noise thing is grasping at a reason why some one gets killed rather than the usual reasons, but I have seen no real proof either way.

My guess, changes in temperature causes changes in density, the frozen stuff will sink and cause deformation.

Agreed, and before that we had many states with "distracted drivers" laws that could (and should) have been enforced. I was being a bit silly, but my point is that of dangers associated with cell phones, this is not even close to the ones I would try to "educate" the public about.

If everything is labeled "warning" including things that have shaky evidence to support it, eventually warnings become less useful and ignored.

That being said, I really do not see what "information" is being provided.

They are at greater risk driving while on the phone of dieing. Perhaps that should be on the warning.

"DO NOT USE WHILE OPERATING HEAVY MACHINERY" or something like that.

Not really an option for a renter. We get fewer channels now and have used the TV mostly for DVD playing. Reception wasn't even consistent between the converter box and the new HDTV.

Not that it is a big deal to me over all. Really, I was more annoyed with the 3 months or whatever where the deadline was pushed back and having to try to tune the HDTV again because half of the stations used one deadline and half the other.

The emerging multiple layers of filtering that is disturbing to me. An artist has an idea, it is then edited and tweaked by the publisher, it then is edited and tweaked by Walmart/Apple/Whoever. Use a search engine, and you have a nontransparent filter that makes choices for you like Google and Bing that give you press releases from BP/the government and others.

Tang, like the Fisher space pen, were not made by NASA, they just had great product placement. Kind of like the Olympics didn't develop any of their official drinks, shirts etc. The microwave ovens, I have no idea what your connection is suppose to be.

They look better thought out than the light bulb shaped N100 LED bulbs. The solar panels on the N100 are pointed in such a way that only half of them could be put even approximately facing the sun and are pointed down at a steep angle if hung up to charge. I would rather be able to aim the solar panel. Over all it looks like the N100 looks like it was designed by marketing, those Boglights seem a bit better thought out.

Mod parent up.

It seems that you can have one or the other. The lack of competition means that as long as they do the absolute minimum, people will pay for the only option available. The FCC, which never should have been allowed outside of the airwaves, seem more concerned about trying to censor things than creating a competitive market. I live in metropolitan area with main population of 479,000. We have the choice of Comcast cable, or high speed over the phone. Because the wiring is so old for phone in my apartment, that means cable only.

We knew that were in a bad reception area when my wife bought her phone and so we asked which ones were known for better signal reception. She decided on the cute one instead. Fashion beat out function.

This is a false dichotomy. Giving away civil liberties does not equal more safety. There is much more that can be done to prevent crime and violence that would be much more productive than wasting time money and effort on wire tapping, and that is just legal wire tapping, not this.

I am still on dial-up, CD and DVD are pretty much the only way I could do this distro. Same with XP service packs. Spent the past two months to try to get DSL but the apartment's wiring is too old.
