Plus long engines are just bad for balance. You want as little weight hanging over the front axle as possible - except for FWD cars where you need some for front traction. A long hood is a waste of space.
Some people just don't like a choppy engine noise. I bet you don't like boxer-4s either. I don't mind boxers or V8s them but I don't like Harleys. Something sounds seriously wrong with them - which there is, the engines are intentionally designed badly to make that noise. This is a really great noise IMO:
What is really needed is a propoganda campaign to check the Internet and right wing nut mills spewing FUD rather than assuming use of force is an acceptable answer to everything comrade.
If parents got the other side of the story and saw what could happen when their kids are not vaccinated they would not be so quick march to the drum beat of the rumor mill.
You know, a consistent and rational enforcement of child protection laws seems better than covert domestic government propaganda campaigns to me - even if used to work against wildly insane ideas.
Yes it would have to be covert, some Democrat raised this very idea a couple years ago and it caused a shitstorm on the conspiracy sites, along with a somewhat negative reaction on more level-headed forums such as Slashdot. Overt PSAs will just be considered government misinformation.
But, but, this was on the Internet! That means activists who block access to establishments and graffiti artists spend over a decade in jail, and anyone who egged on a suicide should be sued for wrongful death! THIS IS SERIOUS BUSINESS!
Thank you, there are many good arguments against a digital currency but this is the dumbest and it comes up in every discussion. If we were currently trading exclusively in gold coins it would be at least a little understandable, but we're currently using bits of paper and - drumroll...numbers in computers!
I don't think so. Assuming that's all possible, how does that help the sender to send meaningful information? All he knows is that he just sent a 1 or a 0. He doesn't know what the next bit will be. It's still no better than having two magically-FTL-interlinked RNGs.
If you get caught abusing your kids or putting them in unsafe or unhealthy conditions, some government worker is going to step in and take corrective action. Is denying vaccinations not a similar situation that warrants a similar response?
Stop coddling the nutters, let them get pissed off, call the country communist and seek refuge from government tyranny in Somalia. It's the only way the problem will correct itself.
I dont want to sound too assie, but how many gearheads are computer / electronic nerds?
I'd say about 2/3rds. EFI's been around for a long time and now there's fucking CANbus, you pretty much have to deal with computers to be a gearhead (whether the situation calls for it or not).
Also, "Linux for you Chevy Volt?" Really? More like Megasquirt for your Nissan Leaf.

Yep you leave it in the ACC or 1 position. No ignition power or electric fuel pump but you can still steer.
No automotive technology with "keyless" in the name has ever been a good thing.
Lots of good samples to be had from Wave Twisters
"Say A-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-AAAAHHH"
"Blast-blast-blast those fools!"

Any vehicle with an automatic diff locker does that if you accelerate from a stop while turning.
A lot of ICE vehicles are going to need a noise upgrade when that comes into effect.
A lot of modern ICE vehicles are nearly silent too...I think they should get noisemakers as well.
A Slashdot survey showed that about 1/3 of Slashdotters are denialists :-(
Roughly half of Americans deny global warming; not restricted to blue-collar workers.
Film at 11.
It sure hurts to read, doesn't it :-( gives me that same awful sick feeling as VHE sites.

I can dig it.
I like how you cherry-picked the example that isn't comparable. What about unsafe or unhealthy conditions?
It's an exaggeration of the slight difference in the pronunciation of the OU sound, they same way Brits think Americans say "Stap" instead of Stop.
If you think the stereotypical Canadian accent is fictional though, that just tells me you haven't gone far from the major cities.
Hey as long as it can be made to work reliably it's still a link, not unlike a range-limit wifi connection with a ton of dropped packets.

I would agree for adults but I don't think the innocent kids deserve to suffer for their parents' idiocy.
