On some of those sites, the rest of the posts are right there, if you scroll far enough down below all the ads (despite the fact that the page often doesn't look like there is useful content).

Can you point me to some numbers on that, since I find it very unlikely.

I do understand that the advantage of hybrids over other cars is highest in city driving, but it seems to me that mileage even in hybrids should still be better on the highway than in city driving.

In Europe it shows 0 L/100 km in that situation.

But it shows 99.9 or somesuch when idling.

I have driven a Citroen Xsara Picasso, a small non-sporty family car at speeds of 180 km/h (112 mph). It had a wimpy 2 L 4 cylinder diesel engine which produced only 97 hp IIRC. At that point it was close to its top speed, but apart from more wind noise and noise from the tires everything was completely normal. There was probably more engine noise too, but it got drowned in the wind noise.

And I've once done 200 k/h (124 mph) (measured by GPS, so that's the real speed as opposed to the inflated speed shown on the dasboard) in a Toyota Corolla Verso which was sligthly less non-sporty and had a 2.2 136 hp diesel engine. 200 k/h was above its posted top speed; I guess the road went a bit downhill. I've driven that car at 180 k/h and 190 k/h with no problem whatsoever.

I'm very surprised to learn that Camero's start to act wonky at speeds even lower than that. Maybe next time you should buy a well-build Japanese or European car (which is not intended to mean that all Japanes or European cars are well-built).

No, "I couldn't care less" means "it's not possible to care even less than I already do, even if I wanted to". It means I care the least possible amount. I have reached the bottom.

"I could care less" (but I don't, meaning that I do care a certain amount) means that there is still a margin between the amount I care and the least possible amount of care. I haven't reached the bottom. Nothing is said about the size of that margin, so this statement really doesn't say anything.

It is a completely relevant question. If a quarter of the population never have used the web, but half of the population has Internet access, it follows that either half those with Internet access have never used it, or that the sentence is formulated so poorly that misunderstandings are bound to ensue.

No, it means that half those without Internet access have never used it.

I speak Dutch too (I'm Flemish). I'm often inclined to write "an USB stick" like you do, because I often think of the Dutch pronunciation of USB which indeed starts with a vowel.

But what matters when writing English is, of course, the English pronunciation, not the Dutch one. In English it is pronounced like joe es bie, so the first sound is not a vowel, so it should be "a USB stick".

All the wireless mouses I've used worked perfectly, for about 98% of the time (not counting empty batteries). 2% of the time they would fail. 2% of the time doesn't sound like much, but it's very frustrating.

The wired mouses I use now work perfectly 100% of the time. The cable is not really a problem since I connect it to a USB hub on the desk, or a USB hub in the keyboard (Why is it so hard to find a keyboards with a USB hub? It's damn practical). I never need to charge the batteries. Much better than wireless, in my view.

The size of the flash unit was given in gigabits, not gigabytes.

32 * 512 Gb = 16384 Gb = 2048 GB.

It's easy to remember, once you know where it comes from. To cite Wikipedia:

The original "Debian Linux" distribution was released in August 1993 by developer Ian Murdock, and was named as a combination of his own given name and the given name of his girlfriend at the time, Debra Lynn.
