gotta subtract the weight of the roof that it is replacing too. I wonder if there is even 1kg of difference all said and told - the weight of a liter of water.

From this forum https://www.corvetteforum.com/...

A corvette's removable roof weights ~ 20lbs

C6 transparent 20.22 lbs. C6 painted SMC 24.2 lbs (new style replacement roof) C6 painted Polycarbonate 20.90 lbs. (old style roof)

good point - maybe the best way to fight back against the government is to make use of corporate lobbyist armies already in place.

Lenovo continued to be the number one PC maker in terms of shipment volume, with a 19.4 percent marketshare.

Does that include Apple PCs?

What is so interesting about this netflix, hulu, and the like is that the customer is no longer paying for the delivery of the goods :: just the goods themselves. This is hugely beneficial to the the content provider and gives customers who are voting with their dollars more power: if comcast throttles netflix (like verizon did, or whoever did against twitch (i forget who that was) we are going to hear about those nefarious business practices pretty quickly. I, for one, welcome our new assembly line TV overloards.

that is a replica

In October 2012, LBL had its Open House on the 12th. It would be a great exhibit to attract kids and adults alike and so I volunteered to build a copy of the ATLAS Lego Model for the Open House. The original Lego model was designed by Sascha Mehlhase and he maintains a website with information and a construction manual here.

binary is preferable because of error correction. anything higher is significantly more susceptible to lost packets (exponentially by number of possible states).

(and anything lower is error proof)
