My one and only car crash, due to my fault, is due to ABS. It was my first ABS car and I tried to pump the brake, and failed to stop before hitting the other car.
It was a minor fender bender, never mind any injury, but it burned it into my skull: slam the brake.
Should have Toyota design this thing. It'd be super reliable, and when it isn't, it'd accelerate like a motherfucker, and that would be a good thing, right.

Let's see... do I remember reading about this back in the 80s as the next generation CPU architecture? In Byte magazine, I think it was...
It's been a long time, but, what I remember is that the pumping made it feel like trying to stop with brakes pushed only halfway...

Hey, beltway bandits have families to feed and boat payments to make, like everyone else.

What Ghostworks is trying to say is that IPs are crap.
