Some times it's the fault of the transport company who owns the truck, there are mufflers available for jake brakes.
I personally ignore all such signs if I need the brake, I need the brake no sign is going to change that. I don't intentionally make noise, and at night in built up areas I try to keep the noise down where possible. But sometimes it is not possible to drive quiet especially when cars pull in front off you and force you to use everything you have to avoid a collision.
I agree some truck drivers are dickheads who make the rest of us look bad.
It always amuses me when people who lose traction think they can rectify the problem by hitting the brakes! Some people even push really hard on the brakes as if they can somehow move the pedal beyond the floor.
These idiots also exist of gravel roads and long stretches of highway.
the other day I dropped from 8 to 3, there's nothing particularly wrong with skipping gears. Im just pointing out that the proper way to drive is to always be in a gear, even for a car.
I'll admit I also roll stop signs and some red lights (one's without camera's) when safe to do so.
This has actually got me thinking: "Sorry officer I was being environmentally friendly by not stopping to idle at the lights!". But I'm not willing to try it out.
1. IF you have to rebuild a transmission then you need to learn how to use it, since you are apparently not doing a good job or you may be using the wrong transmission for whatever your doing.
2. If people are to cheap to foot the maintenance bill they should not be driving a motor vehicle. Cost saving is no excuse to put peoples lives at risk just for the sake of a few dollars.
It IS the correct way to drive, but you don't have to do ALL your gears.
I'm a truck driver and my exhaust brake (that will only work in gear) accounts for 60-80% of my stopping power and is a must for hill descents. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exhaust_brake the exhaust brake is intended to assist with engine braking, which is something diesels aren't normally good at.
In a car you can get away with anything, but just because you get away with it doesn't make it the right way to drive. (I'll admit I do coast in cars from time to time)
And don't engine brake because that is poor form and is retarded. Use your damn brakes.
Actually that's the proper way to drive, its the retards who have have their brake light on all the time who should not be on the road. If you can't drive get off and leave it to those of us who know what we are doing.
"and babygirl24@hotmail.com doesn't give ya good clue of who it is."
No, but the from field should.
Allot of Uni's use addresses such as 370245@student.uni.edu so the address its self doesn't normally give much away. The only advantage to a University email address is that the University already knows it.
think of the difference between letters and e-mails,
Email is convenient and I often receive well thought out email as a result. I have however NEVER received a letter at any point in my life and I don't know how to send a letter except that you need to take it to the post office, unless you know how to stamp it yourself.
I don't know how you figure Inconvenience = Responses
Because after writing several paragraphs I want to post my comment not register for the 999999999 billionth time. So I just scrap the response if I am asked to register. If people wish to keep their blogs closed that's their choice.
besides, if you're not willing to make an effort to solve the CAPTCHA, then maybe your comment isn't really worth posting. it would at least make people put more thought into their posts and filter out a lot of kipple.
Perhaps the site is not worth me posting my comment on?
I have comment on blog that require me to register, since feedback is obviously not very important to them.

At least they're amusing when it snows.

Please give him a real hard smack upside the head for being such a moron. How does he expect his brake fluid to circulate?
If he isn't prepared to pay the small price of fuel (I assume your in the US here) and drive a car properly he/she does not belong on the road.
And don't engine brake because that is poor form and is retarded. Use your damn brakes.

I don't see what the big deal is, if somebody chooses not to use their work email for any reason they should be allowed to use their own.
I agree it would look less professional if the email address is posted on a government website but that's what email forwarding is for.
This court ruling is so late they can't expect the emails to still exist!
I know allot of people who delete email as it's read to prevent this type of privacy violation.
and email forwarding, for those of us who would rather use our own setup.
But enable pop and imap support, it just is not convenient for me to log into a web interface.

I know you think you are being some sort of wise ass, but I DO pay for it. What is your explanation now?.
It's yahoo!
it's like saying writing your password on a post-it stuck to your monitor is a good security practice because security by obscurity doesn't work.

My credit card number is printed on a card in my wallet and nobody else has used it yet.
There is ALWAYS a way...
I started out with a little 4cylinder front-wheel drive Nissan Pulsar and those first few years taught me to be very creative.
I have the solutions,
1st Email: I suggest losing the wife, since she is just a burden.
2nd Email: This book will be very handy http://danscomp.net/How-to-get-the-truth-out-of-anyone.pdf
3rd Email: Keep your kids OFF Slashdot, we all appreciate it!
Done!
I wonder if she will locate that email in the "sent" folder.
This would be more entertaining if the full email header had been posted.

Killing people is wrong.
No, killing innocent people is wrong but if the sole purpose of someone's existence is to harm others then they forfeit their right to live.
How about a death penalty for anyone that buys anything from spam?
I would be in support of that.
Why should the rest of us suffer just so some asshole can pay another asshole to make our lives harder.
and who will pay for the sending of all these messages?
Yes,

Better yet Charge $1 to the users credit card and put a capcha code on their bill.
Now if you run a blog like I do and require capcha to post a comment.....
$$$Profit$$$ :)
I just want to register to post a comment, not take my PhD exams.
