    What could possibly go wrong?

  3. NHTSA quote doesn't make any sense on Mitsubishi Recalls 68,000 SUVs Over Bad Software (consumerreports.org) · · Score: 2

    "According to NHTSA, if the FCM system detects a pedestrian in front of the vehicle who could be hit, that ECU may activate the brake for longer than necessary, even when the obstacle is no longer detected. There's concern that when this happens, the driver may provide additional braking, making the SUV slow rapidly and increasing the risk of a rear-end collision, NHTSA says."

    The second sentence doesn't make any sense to me. Am I the only one? Why would the drive provide additional breaking if the obstacle is no longer detected?

  4. Those are some ugly fonts. a c f and g all have dots in them. Like the kind of dot you would find in a lower case i or j... Ugly as sin..

    " it's closing in on 6,000. Judging by the sheer number of signatures coming in each minute, it shouldn't take long for it to hit the 5,000-signature milestone. "

    Someone doesn't understand how maths works...

  9. Wow, 150 concurrent users! That's impressive! on Man Starts 'Gunbook' Social Media Site After His Gun-Loving Friends Were Kicked Off Facebook (buzzfeed.com) · · Score: 1

    How many users can the site have? At the moment its 10,000 but only 150 at the same time. We might be able to change that but as it's only shooters on here it's unlikely we will have that many on at exactly the same time. If we ever reach near our limit of users we will try to get a database upgrade https://www.airgunbook.com/rea...

    WHY can't a bunch of computer nerds figure out how to fix the mobile site? If it can't handle posting a apostrophe then maybe they should just take the mobile site down. This is crazy!

    What a waste of clean drinking water to water all of these plants! They should be pumping all of that water to California Florida where water is tough to come by during droughts. Instead they are watering fields with taxpayer money!
