Sounds like the Tesla Roadster, based on a Lotus Elise. It's in production, although the production model wouldn't out accelerate a F1 car! There's even a company that have produced a prototype engine sound system that sounds like a V8, or whatever engine you want, based on the accelerator...

Oh, well, I guess it's good that it didn't cost you anything, but I'm sorry to hear about your sister's divorce.

So, did the rotors need changing, and how much did it end up costing you?

Harvey wallbanger, Kir, Long Island ice tea. Tried several varieties of Martini in Vancouver, but wasn't impressed.

I'm a big fan of cars, but muscle cars have never done anything for me. In fact, I had to look each one up to see what they looked like. So, sell me on muscle cars :) Dodge Ford Chevy Top Gear - Ford Mustang GT 2005

I liked the ending (although I wish the plan hadn't just been cooked up in the last 15 minutes). Earth fighting back and sacrificing one of their own was like standing up to a bully/dictator/terrorist, rather than capitulating like the government wanted. Yeah, I didn't get the whole thing...

Yes - I have had my head down, deep in thought at work, and been pulled out of it by the unpleasant smell of smoke. I've then looked up and realised that one of the smokers has just come in from a cigarette break.

I admire the technical achievement, but it doesn't really excite me much. Not like a DBS, Carrera GT, Atom or an F1. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vE_WqdKbTvY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WaWoo82zNUA

Is that UMIST?

Now if only I could harness that power...

When I was doing my Physics BSc, I struggled with QM in the first year. Then it clicked, and I found it a breeze in the second year. It was a very weird experience - it was like a bunch of synapses all linked up correctly at the same moment... Which uni are you studying at LT? I was at...

Well, you're on a messageboard full of single guys that share your hobby interest. I'm sure if you posted a Personals ad here you'd get plenty of responses.

The name's vaguely familiar, but I haven't dealt with them. I currently deal with Mastek, and we also use Tech Mahindra on the project (although I haven't dealt with them, either). The Mastek people are very keen and work hard. I'll often get emails from them at 7+pm their time. I've found...

It means your employer and Infosys will collaborate on contracts, with Infosys getting the Business Process Outsourcing part of any contract. Doesn't sound bad, unless your role is in BPO...

Anyone played MARS original or Savage Worlds edition? I'm always on the lookout for something a little different than our usual games (D&D, Cthulhu, Star Wars), and thought this looked fun. I can't find any reviews, though.

A couple of weekends ago, I visited Belsay Hall, Castle and Gardens in Northumberland. The horse is "Lucky Spot" by Stella McCartney. It is composed of thousands of crystals suspended on wires and looks pretty spectacular in the Great Hall of Belsay Castle.

Thanks for the update Trevor. I was very disappointed with the state of DDI when it first went live, and decided against subscribing. Recently, however, I've been impressed with the improvements made, and the professionalism of the release strategy, schedule and communication. My group is...

Just the other day, some people posting in the "Asshattery afoot at ENWorld" thread were called out for turning it into "People I disagree with at ENWorld". One of the things I like at CM is that you can tell people when they're being an asshat, and people will tell you when you're being an...
