Um, not in an internal combustion engine. Won't gain a thing. Maybe a few hp because the air will heat up less on the way through the intake manifold and through the cylinder heads, but thats it.
An internal combustion engine is like an air pump.
Get more air in make more power.
I really doesn't matter on cycles per second. There is a point where more cycles per second makes less power because the air velocity isn't high enough to fill the cylinders.
You're nuts. Seek help. Why do you feel the gov't is out to get you? Why do you care if anybody knew that you bought a pack of gum at convenience store A and bought gas at gas station x and got a sweatshirt at a department store?
You and everybody else has yet to cite what you are afraid of. You keep saying the gov't can track you if they really really really wanted to. Ok. Your boss can track your gps enabled nextel phone, too.
My viewpoint is different than yours. I would rather the gov't have the ability to track. How can you expect society to get any safer if you're not willing to give up a little bit of privacy?
Take a break from your chronic paranoia. Cripes, how can you handle purchasing something from a major retail outlet knowing that they've got your credit card # and statistics about what you've bought in the past.
Wow, thatd be so terrible taht every vehicle sold in the US had life saving capabilities included.
Quit being so paranoid. Who cares if the gov't has the remote possibility to tell where you are? what are you so afraid of them finding out. I work for the gov't, and seeing what i see the only thing they'd use it for is developing better intersections and highways. Maybe some safety data. What is the big deal.
Who worries about this crap. Its a helpful system. If you are THAT FREAKING PARANOID don't get a car with it, but you gotta ask yourself why you're that paranoid.
How is it people keep saying onstar is so bad as if its the ONLY gps system there are in cars.
Who cares, its never going to affect you in any way.
You're watching a nice program (well most on Tnt is crap, but they have some nice sports coverage sometimes) and boom, there it is. An ad will pop up during the program. Tivo can't do anything about that. Superior annoyance.
And don't forget about embedded commercials like cbs used during indy converage this year where they superimposed ads on the racetrack. They also replaced the billboards on the track with their own ads too.
Depending on what you're watching and what station its on, the commercials may be as, if not more entertaining than the program you are watching. If you are the demographic that they are targeting, they are usually very good.
Especially during superbowls, when big timers like Budweiser step up and unleash a whole new wave every year at this event.
I agree with you that getting your liscense scanned is bullshit, but are you sure that every store in MA is going to do this, even the mom and pop at the corner or the local texaco?
I dont' think the gov't is too interested in tracking your purchases as an individual, but many private companies are _very_ interested. The IRS couldn't handle that even if they wanted to. I would only allow something state or federal to scan my liscense, i have no problem with that.
If somebody asked to scan ID's to buy butts here (MD/PA area), they would get their ass kicked.
Why do you bitch about such a small inconvenience?
Why do you bitch about the country you live in instead of the clerk's poor judgement?
If you don't like the country, and take all the liberties for granted, and are going to bitch about the ins and outs of things, at least construct a valid argument.
For the record, F355 Challenge for DreamCast is the best driving sim out. GT3 edits the tracks to make them easier and 'faster' (so you can keep a higher speed). Yea, F355 only has 1 car and would have been sweet if it would have had the Dreamcast link feature ( i think f355 2 does, but its only in japan).
FFX doesn't do it for me at all.
Even in the commercials they don't show/any/ gameplay that i can see. Its all FMV, and i hate that shit. I mean, i want to play the game, not watch the computer play it for me.

I disagree. I think its a good idea. I hope every vehicle gets onstar.

Get a grip.
You watch too many movies.
You and everybody else has yet to cite what you are afraid of. You keep saying the gov't can track you if they really really really wanted to. Ok. Your boss can track your gps enabled nextel phone, too.

This is far off topic..
Your points are valid but don't apply as much to the US gov't as to some other govt (like n. korea). Our gov't is fairly open.
You are off your rocker. we're talking about Onstar.
What does this have to do with supposed no-fly lists?
You are paranoid. Yes.
Actually, did you know tht slashdot tracks all of your posts? Holy shit the gov't might have access to this.

Go bury hole and live in it.
WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU SO WORRIED ABOUT.
ps. When replying to this, don't ask why i'm asking the question, thats typical.
AMEN.
man are you off your rocker.
Way to take something out of context.
This is way far fetched. Get a grip on reality and hold on tight.
Take a break from your chronic paranoia.
Cripes, how can you handle purchasing something from a major retail outlet knowing that they've got your credit card # and statistics about what you've bought in the past.
Yea, and i've got a bridge to sell ya.
Oh yea nhe gov't is our enemy according to you.
People like you vote liberal, and they want 'big govt' to come back.
Reality cheack.
Wow, thatd be so terrible taht every vehicle sold in the US had life saving capabilities included.

Holy cow, how is onstar harmful?

Right now?!
Feel better now?

On TNT there are pop-up tv ads. Thats right.

Yea, but if geeks spend so little time in sunlight, how will they tell time?

awesome!
Now all i have to do is convince a friend to get a DC and that game and find a link to buy and we'll be in business...
Too bad there's no force feedback wheel for that game. I'm glad somebody else agrees with me about f355.
Many reasons which include but are not limited to:
1) GBA is $90
Microsoft can't produce anything decent at the price.
2) GBA batteries last a _long_ time.
MS's will most likely be backlit and that will eat the batteries.
3) What does MS know about portable gaming? Nintendo's got the track record.
4) Who doesn't know what a game boy is?
Its got name recognition equal to nintendo. Both are sysnonimous with gaming.
5) Nintendo's got way to far a head start, as there will be a sequel to GBA and it will also be revolutionary.
Care to disagree/agree?
GT3 & MGS2 i will buy.
