The Technology Behind Formula One
axlrosen writes "An article in the NY Times about the technology behind Formula One. The wealthiest teams arm themselves with powerful advantages, almost entirely centering on computing controls in the cars and computer simulation in design. Car data is sent in multi-megabyte wireless bursts each time the team's cars flash past the pits, often in excess of 200 miles an hour. It is simultaneously sent over the Internet to a larger data center in Maranello, Italy, where more complex analysis is done. AMD is expected to supply a supercomputer roughly as fast as the world's 10th most powerful machine to the Swiss-based Sauber Petronas racing team... I love the crazy steering wheel - anyone know what all those buttons and knobs do?"
That's real neat. You make me sick.
As opposed to what, the white niggers? Or the arabic niggers? The asian niggers? The Native American niggers?
and more money.
It's cool to call your friends "niggers" these days. I was just driving on the road in my car when I saw a sports utility vehicle full of white teenagers in the latest hippity-hop clothing and memorabilia. They were slapping each other high five and down low and calling each other "niggah" and "gee dog". So it seems less than redundant to focus on black niggers, if the situation calls for it.
