Can GM even spell ROI?

You can't put music on the Navigation SD card if that's what you're thinking. That would only work on a non-nav vehicle.

They fired 16 times at a suspect a few feet away and only hit him 3 times but managed to hit 3 bystanders. Yes, it was heat of the moment, adrenalin, etc. but that's why they train.

Of course you can play mp3s from the usb flash drives. I've heard you can do it from the SD card but not sure. Even if you could I don't see the point with 2 usb ports.

They don't care. They really don't. They believe they are the authority and that they're protecting consumers from themselves. All car reviews are biased unless they only include statistics. You just have to understand the bias of the one you're reading at the time and make your own decisions.

Here is another one that truly drives me crazy. We have DirecTV and when you're on the playlist you can hit OK and you get a second screen where you can play, resume, delete and a few other things. My wife will select a show to watch, hit ok, then select play. When she's finished watching it returns to that screen and you have to scroll down and hit delete, then go back to the playlist. Or you can just hit Play from the playlist and when you stop watching it goes back to the playlist and you hit the red button to delete. Why on earth would you go to another screen when you can just hit play? I asked her to watch something the other day and she did it and I lost it. It drives me nuts. Then again, when I drive her Edge I pull directly into the garage. There is plenty of room to make the turn as long as you go all the way over to the left side of the driveway and turn sharply. When she parks, she pulls all the way forward, backs up, then goes into the garage. Did I mention that this drives me NUTS!?

Me too! Wait - is that redundant? I spent too many years with ksh and vi.

Why is the problem always "not enough revenue" as opposed to "we need to spend less"? If we were spending less then we would not have approached the debt ceiling in the first place and it would not have been an issue. Tell me when we're supposed to cut spending - or do you still think it's ok to keep going the way we're going even with increased tax revenue?

Will somebody please explain to me when, exactly, are we supposed to stop overspending? Or do you think it's ok that we just keep extending the debt ceiling ad infinitum? Don't we have to put a stake in the ground at some point and cut spending rather than raise the debt higher and higher?

She was an intern. Any business executive who did that would have been fired and sued for sexual harassment. Doing it outside of work with women who don't work for you is fine. Doing it in your office with an intern is sexual predation and sexual harassment. He had the power to fire her if she had said no to his advances - that's the power in a business relationship and it has nothing to do with politics. There is no way you guys can defend that.

You mean it had nothing to do with being in debt up to our eyeballs and CONTINUING to spend like drunken sailors? You act as if raising the debt ceiling was the only possible solution. If your credit card is maxed out does the bank just keep raising your limit indeftinitely or do you stop spending? You're blaming the people who were trying to act rationally and frugally when you should have been blaming the ones who can't balance their checkbooks. And the Democrats did EXACTLY the same thing when the Republicans were in power. Everything you accuse the Republicans of doing is also done by the Democrats and sometimes they're worse. We're never going to get anywhere as long as both sides only care about defeating the other side.

I'm pretty sure that warning applies to all wheels now. Even the polished ones are usually clear coated. Also - there is most likely no mechanical linkage from the shifter to the transmission - it just sends an electronic signal to the PCM and the PCM tells the tranny when to shift. That's what keeps it from shifting when it's not safe.

Especially when one is Sheldon.

I thought they were still using flash but they enabled hardware acceleration for faster graphics. At least for now.

www.motorcraftservice.com -> owner guides -> 2012 Focus Should be the same interface.

No, no you're thinking of buzzards like the ones circling GM and Chrysler a few years ago.

Borg is like a crow - he's attracted to new and shiny things until the new and shiny wears off. Ooh - 3d icons!

Did they have bars on the front and lights on the roof?

I guess they just didn't spend enough time on the rear end........

You wouldn't just use an off the shelf version. You'd use your own version like Tivo does. Then again Tivo doesn't have externally connected devices to worry about. Besides - OS stability doesn't seem to be the problem with MFT - it's the app software.

Why is it annoying to have the lights come on?

I thought you were implying it was unstable. If you're talking about support for 3rd party development tools and device drivers for device connectivity then I can see where that might be a problem.

And we're reasonably sure that's exactly what Ford is working on - a small truck built on a shared platform that gets great fuel mileage. We just don't think that T6 fits the bill.

It's not the OS - it's the application software.
