If you don't live where you get winter, it's not bad at all. Rain isn't really bad, either, except torrential downpours, when you're better off staying in bed anyway.
The only reason some motorcycles are loud is because the people modify them to be like that. Harley-Davidson-I-wanna-be-a-biker guys and sport-bike-I-think-I'm-on-a-racetrack boys are the big offenders here. The rest are as quiet as a car.
Why, exactly, would you consider redlining at 9K to be something to brag about, especially since you HAVE to run an S2000 that high to get ANY power out of it at all?
Anyway, yes, the Internet sucks now. Its not the users so much, as the 'net itself. It just isn't the same as it was back when I got online.
Back in my day, we had to WALK to school, UPHILL both ways, BAREFOOT in the snow, climbing BARBED-WIRE fences, leaving bits of CLOTH on the barbs and BLOODY TRAILS in the snow until FROSTBITE would set in, and we had to come home for LUNCH, where all we got was a piece of STALE BREAD and WATER we made from holding snow under your ARMPIT, and not even your OWN armpit because we were shivering too much to keep from spilling the water, it had to be from your BROTHER'S armpit....
I would quit my job immediately if my employer installed filtering software. For God's sake, why would an employer want to forbid their employees from educating themselves?
It's mostly to stop the idiots in sales from surfing for pr0n.
Rob can set it up so it gives a notice that submitting a comment to Slashdot gives Andover, Etc. a license to use your post in whole or in part, with or without attribution, for better and for worse, in sickness and in health, 'til death do you part.
Actually, the Top Fuel dragsters are only faster than the jet cars because of NHRA rules. Jet cars are an "exhibition only" category, so they're not allowed to pull out all the stops (I believe they have a 300 MPH speed limit). Once the exhibition status is lifted, jet cars will crush Top Fuel (which is why it's there, I think).
Personally, though, I think there's a LOT of potential for electric dragsters. I have one word for you: torque. If they can solve the weight problem, they might really be onto something.

Better his wife and children than mine.
If I have to choose between a poor environmentalist and myself, I choose me. You would, too, hypocrite.
You haven't run across a late 90s Toyota Supra. It's the only car I've ever seen run away from a sport bike.
You F-bodies don't have enough sheet metal!
The One True Car is a 94-96 B-body with the LT1 with iron heads. Aluminum? We don't need no steenking aluminum!
uCs may not be as elegant as a SPARC, but they've got their uses.
What is elegant about a SPARC?
Dell only seems to provide their drivers in binary form.
This Adaptec's fault. They won't open-source the driver.
Come on doesn't that sound a little like a the start of a William Gibson book.
Yes. But it sounds even MORE like the Terminator series.
Exactly what IS Napster's business model?
They aren't making any money off of me, if and/or when I use the Napster software.
Why DOES the company exist?
So far, this is the one element to the entire saga I've not yet seen clearly explained.
Of course, if the site wasn't either down, swamped, or blocked (who can tell, anymore?), I'd just go to their website and find out for myself.
Too bad I didn't have a moderation option for "Poetic".

They OWN the record label.
Or worse, as the case may be.
It's simple.

Wait. That's not quite right...
First, "IAAL" is what you were looking for.
Second, it is just too perfect that you posted as an Anonymous Lawyer--I mean Coward.

All you crazies and your new-fangled processor thingies....
I'm about to take my cats and mufflers off mine, and I quite enjoy the leather interior. :)
Maybe I'll go home and set a couple of old tires on fire, just for fun.
