I do own my own setop box: Tivo HD. It plugs directly into the cable and has a 2-line M-Card that was a breeze to setup. Now if it could get its network connection over that cable instead of needing to piggy-back onto our wifi network using another adaptor.

Well, Kia has been making some very nice vehicles, lately.

Arumage: "Show me an gasoline engine in a vehicle that size with 200hp that makes that kind of horsepower."

Uh... any that make 200hp?




I'm guessing you meant "gets that kind of gas mileage"? Which is impressive.

Poopy: "The people who drive these “smart” cars have a smugness about themselves;"

Perhaps it is the smugness of the large vehicle driver that is the danger here.

"$30B to save a hundred thousand jobs. "

Jake,

The article said "hundreds" plural. Also, that is only the direct employees of GM/Chrysler. If they had gone under, many of their suppliers would have folded. Ford depends on many of those same suppliers and would have taken a major hit when it could not get parts. Then there is the general economic multiplier affect where the money that each employed person spends supports other people in other jobs. Its all a big web of dependency that ends up being a LOT more than a hundred thousand jobs.

Suzuki's hands were tied by GM for a long time and forced to take the bottom of the Daewoo barrel models instead of bringing in their own cars. Their expertise has always been in the small end of the spectrum, which over the last decade pretty much dried up in the US. At the same time, Suzuki has been on a role internationally. With a new interest in smaller vehicles, there are opportunities in in the US market for them. What they need is some capital to help the rebuild here (which VW can provide as long as they don't smother Suzuki the way GM did).

I'll take a a fifth of Suzuki and a pint of Bourbon.

This is the kind of monochrome LCD screen that the original Rocketbook had. That was one of the first generation of ereaders. Seems so long ago, now.

I'd just as soon have the more compact tablet format and give up the rather clumsy side by side pages.

That is exactly what it does... deferred delivery.

What it is is a classic Kammback.
