@PotatoHammock: You never know, it could be really simple stuff like the coming week's schedule or the menu in the mess. Strategizing, maybe not, but there's all kinds of day-to-day stuff that it could be used for.
They've been doing officially-sanctioned government tours for ages, tons of people have been, so I'm not exactly sure what this article's supposed to be about. I've even seen an article where the dude did basically nothing but take a couple dozen HDR pictures of the area.
I've been driving past this for a couple weeks. Scares the crap outta me. All I can think of is this:
@junior ghoul: I was mostly thinking netbook because of the display size, but also that you could fit it in just the display and keyboard area, and then the whole rest of the computer could be basically be empty storage space.
@junior ghoul: With all the space in the back, it could be a netbook and briefcase all in one!
Don't have to worry about pocketability. One of the weird things I've observed every time I'm in Japan is that basically nobody ever pockets their phone. They all either have them in their hands at all times, stick them in purses/man-purses, or have belt holsters of one type or another. ("Chalk bag" type setups are popular lately.)
You know what this article really makes me think of? Giz needs to do another Snowmodo, since I couldn't make it to the first one.
I think the kid flung his own ass on the ground. Looks to me like the cop was trying to grab him, kid starts to try to run away, cop grabs just enough of the kid that he trips.
If I was the cop in that situation, I woulda picked the little shit up by the belt and collar and used him like a battering ram against the nearest wall, which is probably why I shouldn't be a cop.

@Turboner: I always liked "asspile".
Oh crap, an update that actually DOES something.
So now the big question... update, or keep my jailbreak?

@Bluesroo:
My rental was actually an auto, so I didn't have to deal with too much shifting (I was a bit pissed, I wanted to try stick with the wrong hand!), but their transmissions are identical to ours. Sit in the passenger seat of your car and try shifting and that's exactly what the RHD models are like.

@leavethegun-takethecannoli: They're switched in Japanese models, at least. And yeah, it's really annoying!
@leavethegun-takethecannoli:
Shifting with the other hand is easy. Remembering that the turn signal and wiper are switched takes a little more.
The hard part is remembering that the bulk of the car is on the wrong side of you. I kinda forgot about that in a rented Impreza in Hokkaido, and scraped my mirror up pretty bad. Thank [insert deity of choice] for the no-questions-asked rental policy. (I like to call it the "James Bond option.")

@smackela: Oh man, try a 13B with an open header. You'd swear you were listening to the sound of a WWII fighter getting ready to take off from a carrier deck...
@Gimmi Mørgäikkönën: "Gas Panic is underwater for sure..."
And nothing of value was lost.

@Kaiser-Machead v.2.1.1: Potential weapons, sure, but there are too many routes for the zombies to get behind you, no food, and nowhere comfortable. The thing that'd be really nice about Ikea is that the little fake rooms are small enough to retain heat in the winter, and you'll have no shortage of blankets and stuff. As for food, you can go to the kitchen, empty all the ice machines, and fill the display fridges with ice, which should keep them cold enough to preserve refrigerated foods for a few weeks, and then you can fall back on the huge reserves of dry and canned food, and there's plenty to drink as well. Also, you've got the kitchen area where you can burn furniture wood to cook food over without risking burning the whole place down, unlike Home Depot. There should also be plenty of stuff to arm yourself in Ikea as well, since they've got tons of tools for putting all that furniture together. Also, they may even have real weapons for their security guys, not sure about that one though.
@Alchemistmerlin: That's not a bad idea. Actually, the "maze" layout of the stores would work well if there was a zombie incursion, too, since it would slow them down and funnel them into a nice shooting gallery kind of situation. All you'd have to do is "borrow" some of the doors from the cabinets or model rooms so you could close off the shortcuts but still be able to get through them if you needed to get across the store quickly.
How much do I have to pay to do this in IKEA?
Don't get me wrong, I love their stuff, but I don't think anybody can deny fantasizing about how they could destroy the place with their own products...

@ProperBritish: Call my auto body guy and have him get the paint sprayer ready.
Seriously, though, the white iPhone looks really good in certain cases. My GF has a white 3GS and it actually looks pretty good in the skin she has on it. Good 'ol black for me, though, especially if I end up getting a 4G.

SLS AMG is in it, too. (With the crazy liquid silver whatever paint.)
Not sure if that already leaked or not, but here you go.
