That's NOT performance buddy.
1) It has NO torque. Torque is (for the most part) related to the size of the engine. Torque gets the car going. This tiny little 2 litre motor has no torque.
2) It's a FWD car. Major understeer!
3) It's a front engine car. Again, major understeer!
If I want performance I'll get a car with engine greater than 4L and is mid or rear engine.
PS I drive an Integra and to me its one thing... an economy car with bullet proof reliability.
I think you need to understand the importance of torque. Torque gets the car moving. You can't add any substantial amount of torque by bolt-ons, gasoline additives, turbos, etc.
If I want to go fast, I'll buy a Mustang GT. If I want a reliable car, I'll buy a Honda or Toyota.
I got past my 2MB limit in less than 2 hours of owning my Handspring Visor Deluxe. When you get a PDA, make sure you add www.avantgo.com to your list of must-haves. Then you can sync your Handspring and read Slashdot on the road.
Shortage of CS grads? Depends on a lot of things. For example where you live. Where I live there is a surplus of CS grads.
There's also the barbaric ways of IT recruiting. These things include:
age discrimination - 35 year olds need not apply
Keyword hiring - We need Java because it sounds cool...we don't know what it is and frankly we don't care! Get some PHP, CGI, VB and other neat keywords on your resume too!
Unrealistic Job Descriptions - I saw a job posting last week that asked for C++ and Java (certification). And on top of that they wanted professional accounting certificates. And the job posting also had nice-haves of project management certifications. Plus 7-10 years experience. Good luck finding that beast! I don't know about you but I don't have time to get write accounting exams in between my Java exams! My take on it is that they wanted an accountant that thinks he knows how to write code (read that as s**tty code)
The "I want everything done tomorrow so I am going to hire somebody with 5 years experience even if it takes 12 months to find him/her" Syndrome. Why don't they just hire a CS grad with 1 or 2 years experience and get the job done in 6 months?
Therefore before considering CIS I would determine if there is indeed an IT shortage in your city. If I was hiring I'd steer clear of CIS. But I can do that in my area where CS grads are a dime a dozen.
Tanenbaum released a more up to date book in 1997 for design and implementation of O/Ss. Half the book is text. The back half is the source code to minix. And it includes a CD with Minix on it.
Yeah it's not too hard to sift through the code. But when you are a full-time student with a part-time job its not as simple as it sounds. I only had 25 hours to allocate to this assignment. I heard some people were spending as much as 60-70 hours on it!
Incidentally I never fully got it working due to a lack of time. But I still managed a B- for a grade.

We used the O/S Minix 2.5 years ago. If I recall our biggest assignment was to modify the process scheduling. Not exactly the funnest task to debug :)
