If we suppress every topic that might be used to do harm, there will not be much left in our universities.
That's the point. If people are too uneducated to resist they're much easier to control. Just feed the smart ones enough Prozac and you have a New World Order.
Strictly speaking a TPS is a feedback device, and the throttle was still mechanically operated.
I see what you're saying, but there's still something that rubs me the wrong way about the servo throttle. I think it's because there's a slight amount of latency between the pedal and the servo. A cable, while having its downfalls, is at least zero-latency.
I'm not one of those guys that won't drive any car with an ECU in it, but sometimes things just don't need changing. Fuel injection is an improvement on carburetion, but I fail to see how a servo-driven throttle is an improvement on a cable throttle.
My car (2004 Mazda 3) has a fully electronic throttle body. It's all servo-driven, no linkage between the throttle and the gas pedal at all. If I had thought to check stuff like that I wouldn't have bought it.
It hasn't given me any trouble yet (it's a 2004, it had better not), but just wait until the sensor shorts out and tells the engine that I want to floor it, or vice versa.
That is the most refreshing idea I've seen on here in a long time. The MPAA is a group of businesses that works together to protect their right to the business. Know who else does that? The mafia. RICO, anyone?
I'd use it if the on-access scan is integrated well enough into NTFS that it won't bring your machine to its knees. That's the reason most people don't run AV software - it saps too much performance.
Good design is for the software developers, not the users.
At my job, we've switched from Perl to Java. I used to spend all day discussing which way we wanted to make the code work, because there were so many ways to do things in Perl. Then, I made it work. Now, I spend all day arguing with OO zealots about which class should do what, and what pattern is most appropriate. It's pure mental masturbation and completely unproductive.
It has nothing to do with generalized individual behavior. There is a herd mentality here. It's the same shit that makes an entire pack of hyenas all decide at once that they'd rather eat this zebra than the one they were chasing. In terms of values and more's, herds, such as slashdot, are one organism.
Inevitably someone like you pipes up at this point and claims that 'not everyone here is a slashbot' and then half a dozen other people join you. Nobody is exempt from the laws of human nature.
I thought the ideal around here was to live one's life in a way that John Maynard Keynes himself would approve of. As such, why work when you can buy pre-made?
Not that I agree, but it seems like everyone here makes their decisions according to the laws of microeconomics rather than what they really want to do.

calm down, you're quacking up.
Good. It's about time there was a successful business that wasn't chugging Republican cock for all it's worth.
that is the most asinine argument I've seen on here in a long time, and that's saying something.

Baby Jesus was reported to be crying today, according to the RNC.

hey, what do you know, the EFF has mod points today.
And just imagine what it would be like if every user cared.

Now I await the inevitable "No, suave" post...
what?? and waste valuable time that could be spent issuing press releases and whining???
yeah, T'Pau is some one-hit wonder from the 80's, my bad.
That V-GER herald chick from TMP was pretty hot too, at least from the hairline down.
T'Pau. Jeri Ryan is made of plastic. Jolene Blalock might not be.

How long have you been out of school? If you're still passionate about software it has to be less than 5 years.
