This is pretty much what I was going to say. I can't seem to upvote things anymore, so I'm replying instead.
I'll also say that, as a contractor, I use whatever tools and methodologies my customer wants. Since I work in the games industry though, that pretty much means C++, Perforce, Milestones, light on engineering, and definitely unconcerned with maintainability. (I do try to be better than average on those last two, though.)

I test drove a Model S. I liked it.
The backseat is a little cramped though. Fine for kids, not so good for anyone over 6 feet.
That's true for most low cars, of course.

I just filled out this thing[^] and .. decided to email them instead because I don't have a valid ZIP code.
They have a thing in Minneapolis, they'd probably let you test drive there.

Also, this[^] looks interesting.

I am hoping that by the time I retire in a few years they are available in Oz, not just Sydney. I'm with Inman on this, I want one, or possible the small SUV that has been mooted, I'm too bloody big to get into one of those poncy little sports cars.

For some reason (probably because they couldn't use a log scale), the Lounge is not included[^]. Well done, Portugal!

I think you would have to GPS tag a couple of our members to get an accurate reading of various countries drinking habits; in some cases they can be considerably adjusted by simple holidays...Clear this study covered Hungary while Nagy was there, but possibly DD was in Portugal?

Indeed. Check out Nagy, a couple of post up in this same thread.
He's UK, but spends time over there - he says for family reasons, but I suspect Tax evasion myself...

Well, his name does sound Hungarian...so he's either telling the truth or he's really very enthusiastic about that tax evasion.

It's as much his real-world name as yours is!
And mine is at least as close as I could get...

Yeah, noone can say your name isn't original.

I'm not using my real world name either. Wait. Maybe I do. But eventually I was just clever enough to make myself a second, completely realistic second onlince existence.
I will never again mention that Dalek Dave was the poster of the One Millionth Lounge Post, nor that it was complete drivel.

One of the websites I frequent was experiencing loading problems and said to refresh the page. So I threw some cold water on it. Damn, that didn't make things any better.

Probably water not cold enough.

Since IE11 I switched back (to IE)
But I have one remaining issue... 
From chrome I can drag an URL into a folder and voila, I got a link on disk!
From IE(11) I drag an URL to a folder and... I got some link vaguely related to the URL, but NOT the URL!
This is particularly frustrating with CodeProject! I want to save the article URL in the folder where I download the source, but I have to copy the URL, paste in Chrome, drag the URL from Chrome, so tedious.. 
Any idea on how to improve this workflow?

You do know that people are going to suggest the improvement is not to use IE don't you?

Haha, I know!
It's why I strongly specified that I was keen on it! ^^

Yeah use anything other than IE.
Along with Antimatter and Dark Matter they've discovered the existence of Doesn't Matter which appears to have no effect on the universe whatsoever!
