Lancia: Lancia Thesis (#)

„The Thesis has the task of relaunching the brand in this prestigious sector, where Lancia can boast a heritage of creativity and manufacturing skill which helped create history-making cars. From the Lambda, the first car in the world with stress-bearing bodywork and independent front suspension, to the Aprilia, which in the early 1930s already boasted a Cd of 0.47 when the average value for vehicles at the time was 0.60 ...“

Detroit Breakdown: Motor City Shakedown - AutoWeek (#)

„To those naysayers, I’ll borrow from Billy Ford Jr. who pointed out a few years back that there’s more computing power in the chip that keeps your car CD player from skipping than the astronauts had in their lunar lander. You can bet that the problems with lithium-ion batteries will be solved, and soon, or GM wouldn’t have put so many eggs in this basket. Put another way, imagine how fast Edison would have been able to invent the light bulb if he’d only had a Pentium 4 processor to work with.“

WWdN: In Exile (#)

„Eventually, I hosed the installation with careless use of conflicting software installs and other silly uses of sudo that shouldn't have been available to a noob like myself, and I found myself using an HD install of Knoppix, which lead to a pure Debian install (from the tiny network install CD, which is really cool) before landing in my current distribution of choice, Ubuntu (which is an ancient African word that means "can't install Debian.")“

Hal Stern: The Morning Snowman : Weblog (#)

„The boxed set makes me smile on a number of levels. What you get is essentially a CD version of the vinyl tracks that a radio station received in the 1970s, each day's episodes put onto a tape cartridge (cart) to be sequenced between commercials, station promotions and public service announcements. A great reminder of my days producing similarly sized taped gems at WPRB-FM .“

Ferrari Challenge Stradale - RSportsCars.com (#)

„The results are extremely significant: at 124 mph the load increase is about 88 lb for a gain corresponding to the effect of a wing with 15 cm chord length and 1.8 meter span. Despite such a significant increase in vertical load, after all the modifications and adjustments to set-up, the car has a Cd equal to that of the 360 Modena (Cd= 0.335).“
