no, the bluetooth keyboard has no usb ports on it. if you didnt plug a keyboard into the usb ports on the back of the computer, then you'd have 4 open ports, total. ignoring, of course, the mouse using a port in either example.

your math is off for USB ports if you're including the keyboard. it may have two ports, but it has to plug into somewhere.. with the keyboard, you'd have 5 available ports, not 6.

oh hey, that's my dad's handwriting on the carbs!

(seriously, it is)

it's nice not to pay that congestion charge. and to use the HOV lane

MD Drew,

If VW/Audi can get 261/268 hp out of their 2.0L turbo, i'm sure BMW can do at least close to that

that gti is wearing A3 wheels.

well, it's a good thing the back seat passengers get AC vents. you wouldnt want them to get uncomfortable..

it was Luke!

he's macking on evvvveryone's lady

the word you're looking for is "quick," by the way..

mustang,
it's an engineering compromise. while the smaller the wheel (and tyre), the smaller the aero surface, there are also problems that arise as you smaller-afy, such as...wheel RPMs and where to put the brakes. on a wheel as small as a roller blade, there would be no room for a disc or drum brake to be put in, at least not without big steps needing to be made for heat extraction. you could have the brakes on axel shafts, but then you'd need to have axel shafts coming in from the wheels, which is added weight and mechanical complexity, which is a bad thing. also in the area of heat, the smaller a wheel(and tyre), the faster it needs to rotate at a given vehicle speed. twice as fast a rotation (tyre circumference being 2*Pi*radius) for every time you half the radius of the wheel. the faster you rotate the wheel, the more heat you build up in the bearings where the wheel rotates on the axel, and, in a roller blade sized wheel, the bearings would be very small, making them awfully easy to get hot, which is bad. beryllium gas bearings have yet to make it to racing, as far as i know, let alone in 1976.

love the engineering in these race circuits..
