Well they wanted a low drag shape, and with as narrow as it is there should be no problem burying it and the driver in the same hole. Could be even worse like a motor bike, no safety cage whatsoever.

Yeah way to much white space, though it looks similar to a friends ipad. here's hoping the nesting issue is gone, the question I have is if we have enough comments in comments will it collapse the site into a mobile format?

I have 23 processors, not counting monitors, tvs, or appliances. oh or the individual cores.

The Hunley sank the USS Housatonic in Charleston's outer harbor on Feb 17, 1864

1. buy a kill a watt. 2. hack it open (physically). 3. open your breaker box. 4. disconnect the wires from the hot side of the box to your main breaker. 5. connect the wires you just unhooked to the plug side of the kill a watt. 6. connect the socket side of the kill a watt to your main. 7. repeat with the other wires. 8. you have just setup a whole house power monitor. all the KAW is, is a meter, just put it in higher upstream. you guys are over thinking this.

and the sad part is our education is still better than our health care. When/if the health care system becomes run by the government it will only get worse, the part of the U.S. I live in seems full of one-trick-pony doctors and public education that stops teaching at about the eighth grade level. so, yeah we went extinct is looking more and more likely. Most likely (hopefully) a hundred years from now there will be a totally different system in place due to the collapse of the current one, and we CAN sue the robots

I think your right about the jokes, I mean, come on would anyone think these were funny if they thought they were true? It might even be seen as a backward compliment that so many people are willing the laugh and make childish jokes, because of the surety that it's nothing more than a joke

just throw my copy of Final Fantasy 7 at the intruders and let loose the fanboys

hey if we're giving ideas for lazy screenwriters add Lensmen and Honorverse to Mote
