Yeah, but that Mazda was still made by moron American blue-collars
(I'm an American. I work blue collar because I'm still in college. I wouldn't let any of the people at the factory I work at between semesters come anywhere NEAR my car)
120BHP? Yeah, that 5.7 litre is putting out over twice that. 120BHP is somewhere around 100 at the wheels, and 100HP isn't going to tow shit, or go up a mountain interstate at 65.
But keep enjoying your expensive gasoline there, chap.
My stepfather was going on and on one day about how his car was running rough and with all the newfangled electronics, he didn't have a clue what to do!
I plugged in my code scanner, looked up the code. The code said something like "Cylinder 5 intermittent misfire", sure enough, one new ignition cable later, it was good as new, and I didn't even have to play the guessing game (or buy a whole new $150 set of ignition wires)!
SAAB solved the former way back. I remember when I got my first car, an '88 SAAB 900S, it took me a few minutes to figure out where the keyhole was (by the gearshift), and how to get the key back out (pull up the shaft of the shift knob, then put it in reverse).
Drivers are already taxed halfway to hell on fuel, why should you pay again for toll roads ?
Because the federal fuel tax hasn't been raised in eighteen years. The cost of asphalt tar and fuel? sure has. So roads are more expensive to make. Local taxes don't matter too much, the Feds fund the interstate system.
Well, no, I don't, because they don't own the music. They might appreciate it, but it's they're own damn fault for selling it to the label. I won't pay the label.
If you're exercising to get in shape, then you should be working hard enough that it is not possible to do anything else concurrently.
No, not really, actually. You're wrong. Keeping your heart rate high (and hence making it harder to concentrate) during exercise helps your cardiovascular system, but your metabolic rate is too high to burn fat and keep up. Instead, your body has to burn glycogen, causing you to get more tired. Only after your body has calmed down can your body begin to burn fat to replenish itself.
Now if you can't keep up with that, a lower heart rate target can get you into the zone where your body can burn fat at a rate fast enough to keep up. That's around 100BPM for a 20 year old person (50% max rate).
at 160 lbs, my run works to about 600 cal/hour according to the thing on the treadmill. That's more than enough to power a computer. However, I'm not moving the treadmill. Believe me, all 600 of those calories go towards moving just me.
The stationary bike I use shows how many watts is being generated at the current time, as you have to power the bike. I can get it to about 225W, but not for longer than 5 or 6 minutes. Lance Armstrong has been "clocked at 500W" according to Google, but probably not for long. At that rate, he's eating a McDonald's double cheeseburger every hour on the hour just to keep up!
Now powering a laptop? Not just easy, damn easy. THAT you could do on a stationary bike all day, as that works out to about to somewhere around a third of a can of pepsi every hour.
I was about to say the same thing. Halfway through my run, don't expect me to say much intelligent. I could walk and do it, but walking on a treadmill is just boring.
I'd rather have a moron that understood me rather than a technically-minded person that I not only have to explain myself two or three times, I have to explain HIM two or three times to make sure I'm hearing him right.
I've got two good Indian friends here, and neither of them are fucking named John either, so quit even TRYING, call centers.
If it was the same thing here, plastic molecules with an iron complex in them, perhaps the plastic couldn't be broken down.
It also wouldn't be detected by the body's endocrine system. Therefore, once your pet got better, he started generating the required amount of RBC's for him to function regularly - except that his blood already has the permanent synthetic RBCs in it!
Well sure, the electric actuators create an additional load on the alternator, but the engine doesn't get to spin the 20 pound (times 4, on a DOHC, V style engine) cams and compress the valve springs with free energy, either. I bet electric actuators are more efficient.
You actualy have an ALARM? Our walmart SPEAKS and asks you to wait for an associate. I've made it to my car once before a geriatric guard caught up to me out of breath to make sure that i hadn't stole what I just paid for?

If its right, it would become more common and suddenly, its wrong! Where does such logic lead?
To the War on Drugs.
Actually, HTC built the device, not Microsoft, and Apple's product is still vaporware at this point. Sorry to steal your thunder.
Shit. I have a lazy eye. Can I get arrested for possession of pirate tools for my eye patch?
200? that gives me like... 4 pixels for each tab. How do you know what you're looking at?
Optical brighteners are the fluorescent dye. Color safe bleach is usually just H2O2 (look at a Chlorox 2 label!)

Just a quick question: How old are you?
We've got 90Mbps (two T3s), but with 648 people, it kinda sucks. In the summer, however, I can saturate my line (10mbit ethernet).
Well, no, I don't, because they don't own the music. They might appreciate it, but it's they're own damn fault for selling it to the label. I won't pay the label.

When's the last time you saw a cop go the speed limit?
Here's my off-the-cuff theory:

I really shouldn't be a psychology major.
Asking people to "disable by default" seems to be the old excuse.

Politicians create policy. Citizens are (usually) just rabble-rousers.
This is rabble-rousing.
well, between the word sex and gender, anyway. Not for me. Wow.
(Christ. Can those with karma above a certain point PLEASE not have to slow down?)
My driver's license lists my sex, not my gender.
I do hope if you are going to complain about the act on such an obscure angle, that you understand that there is a difference between the two.
