Ask DLS: Speculate wildly about how Opera will "Reinvent the Web!" {Download Squad}

Jun 12th 2009 4:37PM WTF is CEDT (I now know that it's Central European Daylight Time? I thought it was CEST (Central European Summer Time). (Also, if you believe in Wikipedia, it re-directs CEDT to Central European Summer Time.)

Gambon Street? Project reportedly afoot to turn Top Gear test track into housing development {Autoblog}

Jun 9th 2009 10:53AM It's because the BBC is a government company (did you even read the post?). Technically, the BBC doesn't advertise (it does during breaks between shows, but there's no other breaks, and even then, it's mostly public messages, or advertising of it's own programs).

So, basically, the BBC is not making any money. It's just using government money to provide a facility of enjoyment. I'm not sure where you, akboss302, got the idea that "[the] show makes a gazillion dollars every season".

GetIt combines the power of three Windows apt-style updaters {Download Squad}

Dec 5th 2008 6:18AM I wonder why I never thought of having such a system in Windows, but it actually makes sense: it puts all the free software that you need into a single source, and then makes it easier to update.

I hope it's well implemented. I may try it out soon.

Rendered Speculation: 2010 Bentley Arnage going Continental? Nope {Autoblog}

Jun 17th 2008 8:25PM I'm sure there's a market for a Diesel luxo-boat. Right now, the most that people are limited to are a 4 litre diesel in the limousine (A8, S Klasse, 7er) but if Bentley, Maybach and Rolls Royce entered a diesel into the European market, they would get loads more sales, especially because diesel is so cheap in so many of the European countries. In fact, I know at least three people that can easily afford these cars, but they just want a diesel, especially if they're going to be cruising long distances in them.

Apr 21st 2008 9:10AM Isn't Mercedes-Benz the innovator of the Adaptive Cruise Control? As well as the Stop and Go Cruise Control, which is basically a v2 of the Adaptive Cruise Control?

So yea, they've had v1 since at least 2000, and v2 since about two years ago.

if(date == "09/13/2007") Engadget.Write("Happy Programmer's Day"); {Engadget}

Sep 13th 2007 1:48PM I think we should celebrate programmers day by making the Engadget staff hack in a time zone control feature. I can never figure out what time something was posted if I haven't been on in a couple of hours.

This is coming from someone in CEST (Central European Summer Time [UTC +2).

A "beginners how-to" on timezones ;)
