  1. windows NT came out of the 'collaboration' of M$ and ibm. They sort of joined forces to develop OS2. Until recently, windows still had a folder labelled OS2 in the system, in there was all the stuff that M$ used, but didn't understand.
  2. Something to think about today as you are sitting down. 1. The inventor of the treadmill died at the age of 54 2. The creator of gymnastics died at the age of 57 3. The world bodybuilding champion died at the age of 41 4. The best footballer in the world Maradona, died at the age of 60. James Fuller Fixx credited with helping start America's fitness revolution by popularizing the sport of running died of a heart attack while jogging at 52 years of age. BUT 5. The KFC creator died at 94. 6. Inventor of Nutella brand died at the age of 88 7. Cigarette maker Winston died at the age of 102 8. The inventor of opium died at the age of 116 in an earthquake 9.And the Hennessey Liquor inventor died at 98. How did doctors come to the conclusion that exercise prolongs life? The rabbit is always jumping up and down but it lives for only 2 years and the turtle that doesn't exercise at all, lives 400 years.
  3. The pratt is the designer of the car, and those who think it is a good idea.
  4. If it generates when braking, I'd thought it could charge itself when towed. Maybe push it backwards and forwards =like a kids friction powered toy?
  5. Because they can, and ocd. I would guess plenty of folk on here like that.
  6. This is not relevant to bmw/audi owners. He mentions that about 32 minutes in
  7. Just curious, but it used to be you got taxed on firm providing transport to and from home. Is that still the case?
  8. Being nosy, I did https://walkyourcity.org/qr/11908
  9. Yeh, politeness is a beggur. like when waiting to join at the end of a moving line of traffic, and the guy at the end stops to let you in.
  10. Simple mathematics shows it is not viable on a larger scale, if we are dealing with similar number of vehicles as now.
  11. But the battery is the fuel storage device - equivalent to the petrol tank, if you like, not the petrol. The answer is fewer vehicles.
  12. There's an escape road heading into Wells. a few dozen yards of deep gravel filled trench. When it was first opened, they had to move on the picnickers.
  13. I've no local knowledge, so can't work out the place name, but I guess a map would get that, the rest of it, by by squinting and generally messing with the image, I make it out to be 'Notice The footbridge leading onto wherever place is the only proper way for workmen coming to and leaving duty. Any man disregarding this sign will be liable to dismissal.' I guess it means it's ok to use the bridge if you are not a workman, or if you are but not going on or off shift. I think it doesn't say what they mean to say. I think you should up-date the message it to make it more 'inclusive' ...
  14. with the very wide angle lens on most dash cams, it is very difficult to determine actual distances. For stuff happening up close, it looks further away on the cam video.
  15. Always knew it as the ex referring to an unknown quantity, and spurt, the drip under pressure. Maybe one of the many can correct the grammar, too. Generally, if someone is referred to as an expert, then they have no other qualifications.

  18. Not many Starbucks in Italy.
  19. It won't matter, by then, at the rate of building on greenbelt/other, there will be no rural areas, and everyone will be vegetarians, so won't be drinking milk, even if thee was land available for cows.
  20. sometimes, the usb cable into the pc, supplies the touch screen co-ordinates.
