The different sides of diesel: Dodge Ram 2500 Cummins vs. Smart Fortwo CDI {Autoblog}
Apr 30th 2007 2:03PM a cart is just as wide as a dodge ram...
but i suppose if we still all drove carts then we wouldn't need to "feel a little shy in the locker room" about the size of our horses compared to the size of their engines.
i mean..."Smart drivers might feel a little shy in the locker room knowing that their common rail is about one quarter the size of Dodge owners"
that's what it's really about, isn't it guys? grow up.
The different sides of diesel: Dodge Ram 2500 Cummins vs. Smart Fortwo CDI {Autoblog}
Apr 30th 2007 11:22AM that article is really, really badly researched.
"tightly packed cities with narrow streets dating back to feudal times, when ox carts were the primary mode of conveyance"
who would EVER use that as a reason for why Europeans (is Europe a country now?) like small cars? as if nobody thought - 'oh god we don't drive carts any more...let's widen the roads!' maybe it's just that most people have realised that the average person doesn't need 650 lb of torque to drive down to the shops?
also "Over there fuel is taxed to outrageous heights but government subsidies knock diesel costs down to less than gasoline prices."
wft? diesel costs MORE than petrol in the UK, around 1-3 pence per litre more...
if the argument that he's making was actually based on fact then maybe it would be credible, but when you have to resort to "when it comes to cars the Fortwo is a tiny little rabbit pellet that’s about as useful as one to most drivers here in the good ole U.S. of A." you should really know when to give up.
stupid.
The secret of Apple's success {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Sep 7th 2006 5:53AM hmmm.
of course i love macs, or why would i be here?
but i love the bit about vista at the end...but don't microsoft still have about an 80% market share or something?
apple is successful and the iPod was a revelation, but i think it's perhaps a bit churlish to suggest that microsoft isn't...you'll give us mac fanboys a reputation..!
TUAW Poll: Your MacBook/Pro experience {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Jun 29th 2006 1:08PM my macbook pro 17" has been my best apple yet.
I have had it 2 weeks, and under constant use i don't think i have heard the fan come on once... it doesn't get too hot (i use it on a wooden surface), it's quick as hell, and it doesn't turn a funny colour with my acidic palms...
the screen is huge and bright, the 7.200rpm hard drive is ideal for lightroom RAW editing and iMovie dilly dallying...it (obviously) knocks the stuffing out of my v ancient powerbook g4 12".
perfect!
