Wind-powered vehicle hits 126MPH, nabs world record {Engadget}
Mar 28th 2009 9:52PM For someone who made such an insightful comment, I'm surprised you didn't know that most "sails" act as wings most of the time. Lift is the primary movement force in sailing boats. Modern sails are just flexible "wings" (or airfoils).

Mar 28th 2009 2:37AM Wait a second. Where's the source for the 30mph wind claim? I don't see it on any of the supplied links.
I'm not claiming it's not real, I'm an engineer, I get the math. Just wondering if the 30mph is correct or not, as I don't see that claim anywhere but on engadget.
Hulu asks Boxee to pull content, it complies {Engadget}
Feb 19th 2009 11:51AM @Fred: The key part of the streams from hulu that Boxee and XBMC needed to play them is the PID. Hulu has now encrypted the PID, so Boxee and XBMC can no longer find the streams to play them. So, boxee had no choice, really. XBMC users will notice that their plugin still *runs* and shows you the list of shows available (list is not encrypted) but when you select a show or clip to watch, nothing happens.
The plugin for XBMC was not developed by the XBMC dev group, but by an individual. Whereas the boxee app was developed by Boxee, so they probably disabled the whole app just to play nice w/ Hulu for now.

Jan 14th 2009 2:49PM Yeah, I rented a brand spankin' new VW Beetle in 2001 or so when I visited Mexico (where they were manufactured). It had something like 35 miles on the odometer when we rented it. Very fun/cool. Had modern seats and seat belts and steering wheel/controls/dials and am/fm radio (no CD IIRC) but otherwise was just like the original Beetle (i.e. mechanically & body/chassis).

Jan 14th 2009 2:38PM Actually, native Spanish speakers often include the "yo" in front of "soy" for emphasis. I had an exchange student from Canary Islands one summer, and when he and his pals were playing hoops they would say, "yo soy machina" whenever they did an especially cool move or shot.
