A Hood Rubbing Thanks (Dec 11 2003 12:18 GMT) - The folloing is an email I recently recieved about the dreaded hood-rub issue that was uncovered this past spring on this site:I just wanted to let you know what a wonderful service your web site provides for MINI owners. I have a 2003 Cooper S (Indi Blue, 'natch) and had the same issue you did with the underside of the hood rubbing the paint off where it came into contact with the radiator surround on the extreme left and right of the underside.After reading about your experience, I wiped off the rubber every time I washed the car to keep the area from getting any worse; |

Charlie Cook of the National ... (Dec 11 2003 12:14 GMT) - Charlie Cook of the National Journal jumps on the "Dean is a lock" bandwagon. For a long time, I have said that the three most important factors in winning a party's presidential nomination are Iowa, New Hampshire and money. After all, 13 of the 14 major party nominations over the past seven elections have gone to a candidate who won Iowa or New Hampshire or both. Nine of the 10 nominations over the past five elections have gone to the person who raised the most money in the odd-numbered year before the presidential election. Notwithstanding the fact the nine Democratic contenders will be gathering today in New Hampshire for the ABC News/WMUR-TV debate and I will be dutifully heading there next month for the primary, it's hard to argue with the premise that for the first time in memory, New Hampshire (22 delegates) might be of little if any consequence. |

Angesichts der Tatsache, dass letztendlich aus Kostngrόnden nur etwa 10% der Weltbevφlkerung das Internet nutzen kφnnen, ist diese "volkswirtschaftliche" Betrachtung geradezu pervers. |

FCC Mandates New Anti-Piracy Software for Digital TVs (Dec 11 2003 12:12 GMT) - Starting in July 2005 it may be harder for you to copy TV shows for your friends. The FCC is mandating that all digital TV manufacturers install an anti-piracy program called a broadcast flag. With a broadcast flag you will still be able to record Oprah today and watch her tomorrow, but you will not be able to e-mail a copy of the show to your girl friend. See MSN's articleWill the Broadcast Flag Break Your TiVo? for more information. |
