    I may be the smartest dumb person ever; in any case, I had to look that up...

    I'm not one of those people whose identity is tied up in my car

    I dont know about "identity" (I hate American cars in general and GM in particular; I drive a Suburban) but I'm going to suggest that it's a good thing you (unlike me) don't feel a need to be behind the wheel? Why? Because to become truly proficient behind the wheel, you need to be passionate about it... and which you, obviously, are not.

    Of course, you also need to not be stupid (I'm not suggesting you are), which of course rules out 40 to 60% of the drivers on American roads. In any case, the solution isn't the bullshit "fake AI" they're desperately (i can smell it) trying to foist on us, but rather to require a far more stringent certification process to obtain a license.

    That reminds me of an amusing story; I had the misfortune of living in both Muskogee and Spencer, OK but I did see one cool sight in both places on a regular basis: blacks on horseback, wearing cowboy hats... Just saying. :)

    That right there was, by the way, me politely keeping my ass-cheeks clenched so as to avoid parting your hair with a massive "whoosh" sound. :)

    Is Snap another more of Lennart's scat that he seems to be dropping all over the place?

    Don't feed the shills so nicely and politely; it works better if you cram the shit down their throats with the equivalent of the butt-end of an iron-banded oaken staff.

    But it is. If you want real security, you need to run OS X... or better yet, Windows.

    but isn't x86 more or less obsolete?

    Pretty much, which is why Apple's giving up on x86 and transitioning to the PowerPC architecture.

    I just said this a second ago and I'll say it again: AMD's designs aren't the problem; it's their (or Global Foundry's, rather) uncompetitive process tech.

    I'm no big fan of all the "self driven" bullshit being heaped upon us lately but I don't see how the "AI" on these buses could be any less skilled than your typical Denver bus driver...

Salmon, sure (it's obviously csafe to assume he buys wild-caught and not that nutrition-and-flavor-defficient, disease-ridden farm-raised shit) but pills, soy (thyroid- inhibitor and phytoestrogen source) and "porridge" (phytins/lectins and refined carbs)?!
