Wondering what a PRC article was, I followed it, only to discover various ways I couly pay to use this article.
One of the options is "HTML Link : Publisher's permission to link to an article." and they charge $50 for this privledge. Apparently this whole scheme is managed by iCopyright.com
I thought there was some legal precedence in the past allowing deep linking. What happened?

One of the most thoughtful features (IMHO) in the Bit Char-G is that there is a lever under the car that you can use to "trim" the front wheel alignment. This really helps the car go straight.
Also some word of advice on motors. There are four motors for the Bit Char-G. The MicroBee 1.0, 2.2 and 2.6. (I say 4 motors because the 2.2 is available in two part numbers. GS-01 as the stock motor in a kit and S-04 as an addon)
The Japanese packaging was somewhat ambiguous as to what the numbers meant. When my friend and I bought one each, we soon learned that it correlates to speed, with 2.6 being the fastest.
If you want to race, I obviously recommend the 2.6. I personally have a 2.2, and I frequently find myself spinning out the car. On the other hand, my friend's 1.0 is just the right speed to navigate on smaller desks and ad-hoc obstacle courses.
BTW, I landed mine for US$15 whle I was in Japan.;)

According to the DSM-IV (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition, Text Revision) the following criteria must be met to diagnose substance dependence (the term "addiction" is no longer used, replaced instead by "dependence" and "abuse")
A maladaptive pattern of substance use, leading to clinically significant impairment or distress, as manifested by three (or more) of the following, occurring at any time in the same 12-month period:
(1) tolerance, as defined by either of the following:
(a) a need for markedly increased amounts of the substance to achieve Intoxication or desired effect
(b) markedly diminished effect with continued use of the same amount of the substance
(2) Withdrawal, as manifested by either of the following:
(a) the characteristic withdrawal syndrome for the substance (refer to Criteria A and B of the criteria sets for Withdrawal from the specific substances)
(b) the same (or a closely related) substance is taken to relieve or avoid withdrawal symptoms
(3) the substance is often taken in larger amounts or over a longer period than was intended
(4) there is a persistent desire or unsuccessful efforts to cut down or control substance use
(5) a great deal of time is spent in activities necessary to obtain the substance (e.g., visiting multiple doctors or driving long distances), use the substance (e.g., chain-smoking), or recover from its effects
(6) important social, occupational, or recreational activities are given up or reduced because of substance use
(7) the substance use is continued despite knowledge of having a persistent or recurrent physical or psychological problem that is likely to have been caused or exacerbated by the substance (e.g., current cocaine use despite recognition of cocaine-induced depression, or continued drinking despite recognition that an ulcer was made worse by alcohol consumption)
I'm sure you can all imagine situations where any or all of the above criteria would fit.
