   Wrong. The point of the RRS was to counteract the introduction of the X5 4.6i and ML55, which were killing RR in terms of performance. ^{link »}

   Linux zealots take heed: There is NO money in consumer Linux development. That's why it will always lag behind proprietary solutions like Windows and Mac OS without a wealthy benefactor such as Mark Shuttleworth. ^{link »}

   If that's really the case, one can only wonder what purpose the RL serves in Acura's lineup. Seems to me as if the TL's becoming another Cadillac CTS - taking on 2 classes while cannibalizing the selling points of step-up models in the OEM lineup. ^{link »}

   Ummm ... I'll believe this when I see it in a comparative road test. I have a hard time believing the TL will outperform any other vehicle at its price point except the CTS or the C-class. ^{link »}

   This is the best description of the effects of a weapons system I've read in a while :) ^{link »}

   Lasers burn. Their effects are obvious, especially if objects around the person were hit also. Lightning strikes are pretty easily ruled out via weather conditions at the time, among other things. ^{link »}

   What trouble? This argument is nonsense. ^{link »}
