On the car issue, I would do the camera thing eCat mentioned solely because I would think the "reveal" to the perps is the coolest shit I could do.

Then I would break into their rooms and beat them silly with bars of soap in a sock while wearing a Guy Fowlkes mask.

The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous.

here is a cheap tablet that has the power you need. I'm not saying its not a cheap piece of crap but it has all the right buzzwords. Its does have lower resolution than most and its base is 512mb - but in that size I doubt it would be an issue.

the 10" version is selling for $109

Does everybody else suddenly get dark lines dividing the topics up when viewing the forums or the search/unread posts pages?

you get what you pay for, but as I said, this one has all the correct buzzwords to make it perform like a real tablet, and not some re-purposed e-reader.

11 of his crew members die, man, sole survivor, lives 3 days in an air bubble above his waist in freezing water

not sure how this is even possible

video shows the diver going to grab the hand of what he thinks is a corpse, only to have the hand grab him back

Freezing water off the coast of Nigeria?

"A video of Okene’s dramatic rescue was posted on the Internet more than six months after the rescue and has gone viral this week."

So not only off the coast of Nigera, but off the coast of Nigeria in July...

I guess it was cold because he was 100 feet down

The fact that he survived is a good indication that the water temps were relatively warm, but probably felt cold as shit to a person exposed in it.

I shouldn't be quibbling about a story of survival, but there's no need to make it more than it was (which was already considerable) by claiming that the water was freezing. You can't survive in freezing water for more than a few minutes, and even at 60 degrees you wouldn't last that long. Tropical water, even at 100 feet is probably closer to 80 degrees. I dive without a wetsuit down to 100 feet all the time in colder water than that. Anyway, it's a good story, I'm glad he made it, but from what I read, it looked like he wedged a bed frame above the water line and stayed on that...
