    Now if we could just figure out how to put linux on one of those.

    Or better, why not put all of the RIAA executives in the first test one, that would appease the /. community

    Flamebait?

    Offtopic, maybe, but flamebait?

    The original Pledge of Allegiance may be controversial, it may have been written by a Socialist, and it may have been replaced in 1954 by a Congress and President desperate to stand up to the godless Communist menace - but it is most assuredly NOT flamebait.

    To dismiss so cavalierly this pledge that is so dear to the hearts of millions of Americans is nothing short of treason. For the love of the Republic and the Constitution so valiantly defended in the Ninth Circuit this week, brothers and sisters, I implore you to MOD PARENT UP!

    Thank you.

    I submitted this story earlier today, and it gets soundly rejected. Now it gets accepted. I feel like anchovies in the Omelette.

    Not enough torque.

    What exactly are you smoking? I could do 0 to 60 like a bat out of hell with my parents' 1972 WAGON (albeit a very SMALL wagon). There was plenty of torque in that baby, to the point where it put everything else in its class at the time to shame.
