Or...you know....they just didn't find the problem. Considering that it only happened to be about 4 times within a 3 year time span, a few months of testing won't necessarily reproduce the problem.
A few months times dozens of drivers and hundreds of vehicles, including every single one with a unexplained reported sudden acceleration problem they were able to get their hands on.
If you had reported your sudden acceleration issue to your dealer the NHTSA would have contacted you.
Since you didn't mention the fact of their contact, much less the method which all of us in the loop should know, I call BOGUS.
Nope, didn't exactly feel like having them pull my car in for inspection and going through the hassle for something that I couldn't reproduce. That and I don't live in the United States so they wouldn't have contacted me anyway.
I honestly could care less about your "BOGUS" call, nor do I really buy your "deductions" about how I must be lying (why I would I don't know) since I didn't contact an American agency about my vehicle which wasn't purchased or ever driven in the United States.I do, however, find it interesting how vehemently opposed you are to anyone suggesting that there might actually be a problem with Toyota vehicles and voicing their own experiences.
I didn't have cruise in my model, so it couldn't be that for me. I've seen that happen sometimes when using cruise (I was driving a mazda 3 that did something similar once), but this was different. It would feel sort of the same way though.
Or...you know....they just didn't find the problem. Considering that it only happened to be about 4 times within a 3 year time span, a few months of testing won't necessarily reproduce the problem.
Considering that I have nothing to gain from this and that many people have experienced similar issues, yes, I would think so. I'm just sharing my experiences. I've been driving for years and I can tell the difference between "driver error" and a racing engine. I did put it in neutral. since that's really the fastest way to prevent hitting something. I can confidently say that I was NOT standing on the gas, nor was my floor mat.
And really, I have an easier time believing that it's a conspiracy and that people were bought off over floor mats over the gas petal. The amount of acceleration isn't something that a floormat could equal unless said mat was made of lead.
It was actually pretty hard to reproduce at will. It only happened about 4 times, 3 of those times were on the highway. I can tell you though that it had NOTHING to do with any mats, since the gas petal felt exactly the same after it accelerated. I had to shove it into neutral so I didn't hit something, and it went away after a couple of seconds for the most part. It really was just completely random acceleration. There wasn't anything gradual about it, and it felt like the petal was floored when it wasn't. Every time I read one of these articles about it being "floor mats" or "didn't find anything" I laugh, because it's really just more bullshit.
Just because they "found no problem" (publicly) with the cars, doesn't mean that there isn't one. I've experienced one of these things accelerating personally (multiple times, actually) and I can tell you that there IS something wrong with the cars. I didn't crash into anything, so I don't really have any reason to lie, Don't believe these "findings".
Get a playbook when they come out. Those things look to be f'ing awesome. Should allow you to do almost anything you want anyway since QNX is POSIX compliant. From the demos I've seen, they look to be pretty powerful too. Don't get the galaxy tab, it's a piece of shit and Samsung isn't very good with updating software.
Of course, they forgot to mention that most other browsers don't need explicit prompts and notifications against socially engineered malware attacks since the other browsers are not as vulnerable.
Note: This study does not evaluate browser security related to vulnerabilities in plug-ins or the browsers themselves.
The scope is very, very limited. It only focused on socially engineered malware, like popping up windows that look like windows alerts.
What did they do, have a bunch of illiterate idiots using the other browsers to skew the results? I fail to see how you can have an objective test about "socially engineered malware". Maybe IE got a high score because it annoys the hell out of you with annoying popups (that most users would just ignore anyway). I *HIGHLY* doubt the accuracy of these results.
IE Smart filtering and anti phishing "technology" is a load of bullshit anyway.

It's really just one more reason for me to not feel guilty about blocking ads. Sometimes I click on ads from sites which I trust and wish to support, but other than that, the hell with them.
Then the installers just need to go through your files and change the flag on the addon to enable it. Unless it's encrypted somewhere, but then the programs just need to go through your files and look for the key. The only way to prevent this is to have the user enter a password or something. However, most users are too stupid to understand what they're doing anyway.
Damn I wish I had mod points. Whiteboy86 seems to just be repeating the standard apple rhetoric. PC gaming is NOT dying. The quality of the games on a phone/tablet is no where near what it is on a PC. Full stop.
Same terrible language. I despise Objective-C with a passion. Give me good old C++ any day of the week. None of that gui driven development shit with Cocoa either.
What I wonder is how concrete their evidence has to be to fail a student? There are undoubtedly going to be a few false positives, so unless they have email records for all the students, they shouldn't be able to conclusively prove that a good percentage of the cheaters actually cheated, especially if the distribution of the exam bank took place offline and not in areas surveyed by cameras.
I'd be really pissed if I didn't cheat and couldn't re-take the exam due to an illness. Are they really allowed to say that you get a zero if you are sick? Not around here (Canada) they aren't.
An electoral district in Canada, also known as a constituency or a riding, is a geographically-based constituency upon which Canada's representative democracy is based. It is officially known in Canadian French as a circonscription, but frequently called a comté (county).
That was somewhat true, until we installed this NeoCon government that's currently in power. Harper and friends seem to want to pander to Bush and Friends, except that Bush isn't in power any longer. Guess they missed the memo.
Except that it won't be that obvious. More like the "Internet Security Tax" or "This is for your own good Tax", or "We're just creeps who like to spy on everyone Tax". Wait...maybe that last one wouldn't fly either.

Nope, no cruise control in that vehicle at all.

Actually, it wasn't first on SNL. It was first performed by Abbott and Costello and called "Who's on first?"

+1 if I could. Not sure if it should be modded funny or insightful though.
All my computer has been saying for about 5 minutes is "Hash include .h".

Yep, same happened to me. I had my leatherman in my backpack by accident. It's the one with several different long, sharp knives.

Check the "Enable Encryption" checkbox in setttings. I thought that it was defaulted to enabled for years? Maybe I'm mistaken.
