Whether they're called HOT (High-Occupancy Toll) or Green Lanes, four (to be determined) Illinois toll roads are going to be changing in 2010. Aimed at reducing congestion, commuters will be rewarded for driving with a buddy (or 2, or 3), or taking the bus, with access to a designated lane for vehicles with more than one passenger.

La nuova linea di MacBook continua a mostrare una conseguenza progettuale inusuale: il sistema rallenta quando la batteria non è collegata. Alcuni test condotti da Gearlog lo confermano. Sebbene annunciato in sordina attraverso un articolo del supporto tecnico di Agosto che prediceva l’aggiornamento della nuova linea di portatili, i nuovi sistemi unibody strozzano deliberatamente le performance del processore quando si può contare solo sull’alimentazione elettrica. L’azienda sostiene che “l’operazione sia necessaria per proteggere il sistema ...

Mercury reader Jason spotted this unbelievable sign on Lombard and MLK: I don't keep obsessive track of gas prices since the price for me is always the same but I'm wondering if this means that TriMet might lose less money than it thought? I mean, look at this plunge! TriMet raised fares in part because they spent $4 million more on gas than planned - maybe they'll recoup some of the budget now that we've ...

I wish my father had bought me a ROMP as a child. The Remotely Operated Mobile Platform, ROMP for short, is a remote control vehicle designed for military use. It can shoot stuff with a paintball gun, listen in on conversations, blow up IEDs and so much more. Think of it as a Radio Shack R/C car jacked up on Red Bull and creatine. The design was conceived by Chris Rogers and while his intentions ...

After my test drive of the Mitsubishi i MiEV at the 2008 LA Auto Show yesterday, I walked away with the distinct feeling that Mistubishi has designed a sporty, relatively spacious, and well-thought-out winner of an electric car. Mitsubishi is currently testing the i MiEV in California in collaboration with Southern California Edison. Additionally, according to Mitsubishi executive, David Patterson, the company is in negotiations to partner with Oregon after Nissan announced its new electric ...

how to get your iphone to help you take a bus. OMFG. Apple just pushed out the iPhone 2.2 update [#] and along with other nifty things, it includes incredible (and much wished-for) updates to the Maps Application. Namely, you can now search for directions and get the results in terms of walking or public transit instead of just driving. Since Google knows about Seattle’s bus system, the map will show you bus timetables and ...

Building a car from a kit is nothing new. Open any modern auto magazine and you’ll find plenty of that crap in the classifieds. But when one man goes above and beyond to turn a 2001 Mercury Cougar into a fully-functional, stylish Audi R8, well, that’s magic. While there’s just some things that can’t be copied, overall this car looks just like a damn R8. Since the actual Audi R8 is a $100,000+ car, most ...

Sky or earth, steel or stone, rail or road: Choices allWhile time speeds past meOr me past itA soul might travel forever and remain unmovedOr attain apexes unimaginableAnd though the path is oft shrouded in fogThe sun rises in the morningAnd the way grows clearBridges appear through the faltering mistAnd I continue along the road less traveledAs always, thanks for stopping by and take care.

Спонсор месяца: Конкурс екологічних банерів - призовий фонд 500 грн Что такое “нормальный” браузер для вебмастера? Это браузер, который, как минимум, понимает, что такое min-width, min-height, [atrr], корректно отображает PNG и не удивляется тегу abbr. Чтобы заставить IE6 стать “нормальным” браузером, придумано уже масса JS-решений. Но действительно хороших, все же, не так много. Поэтому хочу предложить вам 2 JS скрипта, которыми пользуюсь сама. Подарите настроение вашим близким! Эти великолепные букеты из роз растопят любое женское ...

At the LA Auto Show today, I had the privilege of testing the 2009 Mini E electric car on a short drive downtown. It’s zippy off the line and maintains the Mini’s sense of fun and performance, yet it also has a few quirks that may make driving it a bit of a hassle — at least during an initial “mental adjustment” phase. The new-for-2009 Mini E electric car is undoubtedly one of the most ...

Every concept car has to look like it’s straight out of The Fifth Element. If it doesn’t, it might as well be an inflatable Porsche. Not solely making walkers for old people, Honda has brought forth its new concept, the FC Sport. It’s a three-seat hydrogen fuel cell sports car that comes stocked with a high-power fuel cell stack placed between the rear seat, and a backup battery pack placed in the middle of the ...

Detroit's Big Three car companies went to Washington this week seeking $25 billion to shore up their parlous balance sheets while the European Automobile Manufacturers Association has called for a bailout that could be even larger – 40 billion euros. Now environmentalists also are stepping into the debate and proposing some criteria of their own.Shared by Erwin (33)Contribute comment
