Dynolicious vs. V-Box and Dynojet {Autoblog}
Aug 1st 2008 10:30PM And who says the dyno is dead-on accurate?
You can set two identical dynamometers next to each other and get complete different results. Set two non identical dynos (brake vs inertial) and you've got even further varying results.

Feb 24th 2008 1:31PM This article is all fine and dandy, AutoBlog, but you failed to report on two key points:
1. Does the technology use less energy than windshield wipers?
2. Is the technology more effective than a good set of windshield wipers?

Transport Canada to implement speed limiting device {Autoblog}
Feb 9th 2008 7:15PM A device like this is stupid and costly, with little or no possible revenue from implementation.
I've always hated toll-ways because they are a hazardous and inefficient way of generating revenue on a roadway. However, why not hit two birds with one stone here?
Implement a toll-way system that monitors speed: Add a ticket/card issuing machine at each highway on-ramp that digitally stamps location and time. At each exit, implement a card/ticket reading machine or occupied booth that reads the card/ticket and charges by distance traveled (if a toll is needed...). At the same time, a charge or citation can be issued if the motorist was speeding (easy calculation - divide distance by time to find average speed). Of course, a threshold would be necessary, but that's not hard to implement.
Do I like the idea? No, I can't stand tolls, but if states like Illinois and others insist on a toll-way, why not make the system more efficient and at the same time, cut down on high-way patrol officers needed to issue silly citations for speeding? It seems like this idea would work for not only Canada's habitual speeders, but the entire speeding population.
Microsoft already trimming Windows 7 features, DirectX 11 on the outs? {Engadget}
Feb 9th 2008 4:40PM There was no need to reference Apple in your comment, are you trying to start yet another fanboy quarrel?
And no, Leopard doesn't require a "new machine." It'll run on G4, G5, and Intel processors, with just 512 MB ram.
Windows 7 needs to be good, Vista has already damaged Microsoft's reputation enough. I had Vista on a Toshiba laptop it took me twice as long to get something done as it would with XP. Downgraded to XP and I was much more happier... Although, I really can't stand having to search for drivers all the time - that's one thing that I really enjoy with Apples.
