The Morgan Motor Company is a British motor car manufacturer. The company was founded in 1910 by Harry Frederick Stanley Morgan, generally known as "HFS" and was run by him until he died, aged 77, in 1959.[1] Peter Morgan, son of H.F.S., ran the company until a few years before his death in 2003. The company is currently run by Charles Morgan, the son of Peter Morgan.
Morgan is based in Malvern Link, an area of Malvern, Worcestershire and employs 163 people. Morgan produced 640 cars in 2007. All the cars are assembled by hand. The waiting list for a car is approximately one to two years, although it has been as high as ten years in the past.
There is also Bristol, although it sounds like they aren't building cars at the moment:
Bristol Cars is a manufacturer of hand-built luxury cars headquartered in Patchway, near Bristol, United Kingdom. Bristol have always been a low-volume manufacturer; the most recent published official production figures were for 1982, which stated that 104 cars were produced in that year. While no official figures have been produced since then it is believed[by whom?] that in recent years production has been around 20 cars per annum.
Unlike most speciality automakers, Bristol does not court publicity and has only one showroom, located on Kensington High Street in London. Nevertheless the company maintains an enthusiastic and loyal clientele.
The company suspended manufacturing in March 2011, when administrators were appointed and 22 staff were made redundant. In April 2011, the company was purchased by the Kamkorp Group.
TVR was very British up until they stopped production... Jaguar and Land Rover rank a lot lower on the British scale to this car guy.
They use them because they're cheaper, period, the end. The cracked end-caps in particular are where you save most of the money.
Cracked end caps are not only cheaper, but they give a better fit and have a more uniform grain pattern than two separately formed pieces do. I think it's a very elegant solution.
Your complaint is conflating material quality and production process. Forging does not preclude use of the cracking process for end caps.
Slashdot is also almost completely supported by advertising. As many users on this site block them, they have moved to more subtle advertising like paid stories on Ask Slashdot, sponsored polls and their jobs site.
A very curious assertion coming from a brand new user... I have to assume you are actually a/. employee.
This also makes me wonder if all the "shills" popping up here aren't actually a creation of the site owners themselves, trying to increase traffic via controversy.
If you visited often, you'd know that the level of blatant trolling in this story is quite unique and atypical. I actually find it impressive in an amusing way.
This was clearly planned in advance and thus the story was submitted solely to provide the troll platform.
My browser of choice is IE and I have my.msn.com as my main home page.
Kudos for having the bravery to admit this on/.:P
On that page I have Slashdot right in the middle. If it weren't for messing up my home page I would take out Slashdot in a heartbeat simply because of the constant Microsoft bashing. It seems like Microsoft can do nothing right according to the jerks that post anti-Microsoft messages here. Of course Microsoft makes mistakes - all corporations do but by and large they do great work. I don't like Apple. I don't like Google and there are others I don't like but I don't constantly bash them here. You like Apple - GREAT - it's your choice and I applaud you for making it. You like Google - same thing but for f... sake STOP with the constant barrage of Microsoft bashing. That's MY choice.
So it sounds like you don't have a problem with fanboys, only a problem with the fact your kind of fanboy doesn't constitute a majority here. In that case, why not find a MS-affiliated site and fanboy it up over there?:)
Ubuntu offers a legal way via licensed Fluendo codecs available for purchase in their Store.
I can't look up the prices as I've switched my own box over to Arch, but I recall there were a number of different offerings and the cheapest one (still including things other than DVD playback) cost $19.95.
The F1 comparison is apt since 1.5L was the capacity allowance for the turbo engines. They were V-6s or inline-4s.
At the peak level in '86, they were getting 900+ for the race and perhaps up to 1500 for qualifying. With a rev limit of 7000 rather than 13000, 600hp seems like consistent armchair math.:)
I really can't remember how long it's been since I've actually seen an NPC run away.
GTAIV did a good job with this. If you engage pedestrians with melee weapons or your fists, you'll see most of the older people and female NPCs try to run away rather than fight it out with Niko.
By voting for Obama, you are part of the problem when it comes to ill informed voters. If enough people vote for someone not of the same ilk as Obama, Romney, Clinton, Gingrich, Biden, Santorum etc., then just maybe the US might finally get a president worthy of the title.
There is no way to beat the system from within the system. You can't just wave your hands and make the two-party campaign apparatus and mass media disappear. Ask Ron Paul how well that has worked out.
Perhaps you should consider advocating deeper changes in our system, rather than pointing the finger at the helpless.
Can we please start bitching about Ron Paul after he's president?;-)>
Can we please stop talking about Ron Paul in relation to the Presidency? He has zero chance of securing the nomination from his party this year and he has announced he will not run for President again because he is too old. His shot has come and gone, but you refuse to admit it.
It's time to find a new figurehead to rally behind. Choose one that is a bit more secular and a bit more friendly to women and minorities, and you would probably see quite a lot of support from/.ers.

But I'm not changing my opinion just because you punish me with a -1 whipping. Sorry mod.
You may not change your opinion, but if you get enough "-1 whippings" you will change your username, isn't that right?
Arch Linux uses ALSA as a default if you follow the basic install docs. :)
I don't think I had any PulseAudio problems since Ubuntu 10.04, but I just want sound to work and that is what ALSA is giving me right now.

There's a reason even the shining monument of GPL (Linux) uses GPLv2...
Even if Linus did want to move the kernel to GPLv3 (he doesn't), he would have to get every kernel contributor to agree to the license change, AFAIK.
When you're cruising the strip and a girl yells at you from the passenger side, it's a bitch to have to reach over and roll down the window, isn't it?
Ah memories...
Heh... We were being fucked over by DRM long before we knew what DRM was.

VLC 2.0+ has Blu-ray playback capabilities on Linux. :)

The no true Scotsman fallacy, invoked endlessly to justify why your chosen pet -ism doesn't match up with reality.
All problems come from the way things have been implemented by the ignorant, and there is never any flaw with your pet theory, isn't that right?

Those Poms will complain about anything.
Perhaps the Poms would have preferred Pom-Poms, rather than missiles? :)
I remember Test Drive for PS2 let you play Pong during the loading screens... it was an Atari game.
Seemed like a sensible feature but I've never seen it in any other game, so perhaps that patent explains why...

It won't be included in the Linux FF. The auto-updating installs as a Windows service.
So what exactly is going to motivate students to write something that no human will read?
Even a graffiti artist cares that his writing is finds an audience.

The USA would only have one real economy left, Texas.
That economy also happens to be the one with the most minimum wage employees of any state.

We call that "bukkake". Welcome to the Internet, Jacqui.
Question: if psychologists were to agree it has pernicious effect on children, would you agree that it should be controlled?
No, I would not. Children should be controlled, not the Internet.
If anything is going to require "opting-in", it should be allowing anyone under 18 to use the Internet.
