As I said before, I'm reffering to Honda engines, which are not high in torque by design.
And as I also said before, larger gains in a VW (Audi) engine would be expected because of the design of the engine.

That's an A4, which is much more powerful than a Honda Civic.
Honda engines are not torquey at all.
The cheapest A4 1.8T has 166 ft/lbs of torque at peak. The cheapest Civic has 110.
And, with all cars, the more you have base, the more you can add.
Adding just a good intake system to a Ferarri will add up to 60hp. On a Civic, you'll get around 5.
This is no new thing

People have been doing this ever since computer controlled fuel injection has been in style.
If you peruse eBay, you'll see people selling replacement chips for around $400 that are supposed to add this many horsepower.
But if you think you're going to get another 70ft/lbs of torque in a Honda Civic by just doing that, think again.
As well, changing these values can be dangerous. I have a friend who quite messed up his Buick Riviera (he added fuel injection) by messing with the values. There was a huge table of values to fill out, and each had to be precicely tuned to achieve the right mix of performance and mileage. This is no easy task.
One of the things I think most people don't consider is that most of the naysayers who point out the $50 difference between iPods are Slashdot/Apple types; people familiar with the tech industry, and most offerings by most major companies.
But consider the average Joe wandering around his local shop, who doesn't know much of about technology, and just knows that he wants a player that can hold lots of music, and isn't particularly large.
He is going to see many tiny music players, all with the ability to play the mp3's he downloads from Kazaa.
Being able to compare a 512MB player, and a 4GB player for the same price won't leave much decision making to be done.
Now me personally, I bought a 15GB iPod recently, because I feel $50 more is a pretty good investment for 11GB. But many people don't understand what a "gigabyte" or "megabyte" are. They see Apple's ad for "1,000 songs!", and think "Hmm, that's a lot of songs."

Can't you use the Internet Connect application that ships with OS X to make an IPSec connection to their VPN? That's how I connect to my school's.
First post?
The first thing I saw at that site, "Reliable, Field-Proven & Adaptable". Funny.
Well, that statement is only half false, it's reliability has been field-proven.
Moderation in all things should be a way of life.
Absolutely, and the same goes for meta-moderation.
I read of an Everquest player that had his kids taken away because he was neglecting them to the point of starvation.
A guy in Korea has an annuerism because he played Counterstrike for something like 72 hours straight.
These people DO exist, though I've yet to meet one.
For MyDoom 3, and its starting to feel like its never going to come out.
I've connected my desktop G4 to my PowerBook a few times.
It's actually pretty fast. 20mb/sec or more. Getting speeds that slow is probably atypical.
This must be around the amount they've extorted from Linux "licenses".

The one thing I expected they wouldn't get right, was what they did the best.
When people hold notes, there are natural fluctuations in the tone, nobody can hold a perfect tone without some audible wax or wane.
But you can hear this simulated amazingly if you listen to that one japanese song with the single male "vocalist".
You'll find mac laptops all over the media when it comes to advertising.
Advertising is outsourced, and those types use Macs for their artwork.
AOLs latest commercial shows a girl using an iBook.
Lots of times they find random post-it notes and stuff to place over the Apple logo, or just airbrush it out completley.

Not necessarily.
At my uni, sometimes you use the same book for two classes in sequence.
IE. Calc I and Calc II.
This isn't the only old Mac that be somewhat upgraded.
Companies like MCETech sell DVDRW drives for the G3 iMac and iBook.
Oh, well I meant stop them by legal action :)
But yeah, they could do that too.
I don't know if I would call that a hole. Plus, I don't think Apple would be able to stop Real from doing what they are doing.
As Jobs always says, "This isn't a subscription service, you OWN the music".
If you install iTunes and purchase music from the store, the new RealPlayer will play them back if they are authorized.
