Yes and No. It still takes driver skill to hit the preferred.5 reaction time. The race is lost by hundreths or thousands of a second. It's all about driver skill.
I agree. Where I live, it's AT&T for cable, and that's all. Up until recently, it was USWEST/QWEST for phone service. I guess the satellite companys just didn't bribe enough politicans.
You sir, do not know what you are talking about. First things, I personally dislike american cars, and much prefer japanese and euro cars. But your rant is filled with a lot of misinformation. It doesn't take any talent to make a car go fast in a straight line. BULLSHIT! Try rebuilding an engine every run, machining valves, pistons, just to squeak out a little more power. It takes talent to do ANYTHING at the top level. Then you sit there and talk about how anything short of AWD is crap. Yes and no. For a road course, you are correct. AWD have proven to be faster around a road course. But like you also say in your post: Only one percent of owners use 4WD. This is because it's not necessary. I live in colorado. I drive a honda civic. I don't have 4WD, I don't have snow tires. And yet I've never been stuck. BTW, the vette. The V06 had consistintly proven itself in road courses, beating out top entries from european manufactures, including Porsche. And you say there is no american car that can out accelerate, out corner, out drive a WRX or lancer(both great cars). Check the results. World Rally Championship 2001-2nd place. Ford Focus. 1st place, peugeout. Nice passison for World Rally Sport. Aggh, and you talk about how you need a turbo charged I-4 at the very least. I know people who take a civic at 10.8 in the quarter, naturally aspirated.
I had a samsung phone. Never again will I buy samsung. The SCH-850 was a piece of crap. After a few weeks of using it, it would die. Not the battery, or screen. That would all work fine. It would show full signal strength, but would never connect to the network. I could not call, nor be called. I exchanged 3 times, all 4 phones did the same thing. I bought an LD-150, and the UI sux, but I can still call.
The cost of the car might go up some. But you are incorrect about OS part. Even now, with the auto industry regulated like I say, there's nothing to stop me from putting on a different exhaust. In fact, they're nothing to stop me from putting an entire engine, and drivetrain that I built myself in, save for emissions. But if I do kill anyone, it is my fault. Similar to beta software, the developers don't know how it's going to react, so they say don't install unless you know what you are doing. Liability in the the software industry would be a great thing.
Funny, I was just thinking about this. A reletive just lost a whole bunch of data, due to a in a software program. While cars require a bit of basic knowledge, and licensing, there is liability there. If ford builds Taurauses with defective ignition controle modules(true), and my cars stalls and gets hit in the middle of an accident, I can sue them. When my relative lost his data due to something that was not his fault, who's liable. No one.
It's been a long weekend, but this part still confuses me.
which includes support for multiple AGP ports with multiple AGP devices per port.
I can't figure out why this would be good. (this is not a troll, i just can't figure it out). Can you put two video cards in, and have them work together, like voodoo SLI type things? Or is it just one card for a monitor, another to output to tv?
Where I go, Colorado School Of Mines, you have to take a whole lot of math courses. In fact, our degree in computer science is techinically a degree in mathematics, with a computer science option. And I wouldn't have it any other way. Learing a new lanugage isn't the hard part. Learing how everything below the language works, and the theory of computers, math, is the hard stuff. I think most programmers should know these things, as that enables better code to be written.
I fail to see how people in India can afford to drop 200(or 300 if you read the title of the article) on a PDA, considering last time I was there, most of my familys electricity was turned off at 9pm. And while the website claims to be a low cost alternative for India and others, it does not include hindi as a native language(it must be developed).
"In celebration of the Nuit Blanche art festival in Paris, Project Blinkenlights has transformed Tower T2 of the Bibliothèque nationale de France into what is claimed to be the world's largest computer screen. The system used to drive the display runs an embedded version of Linux.

While I'm sure this definitly does produce much less heat then an average PC, the lack of a fan kinda scares me. Especially when used in an office with a bunch of other computers, people, during the winter when the heater is cranked on.
If you're being sued, you need a lawyer. especially in a case that would be similar to yours, you could recoup any fees that you'd have to spend on a lawyer in court, if you're innocent and have a decent lawyer.
Definitly a cool thing to do. I'm waiting for someone much smarted then me to figure out a way to run multiple OS's at a time(perhaps one os per cpu, with multiple cpu's. Swiching between linux and win2000 instantly would be sweet. Mad props to this guy though. I can't even count that high.
I can't say that it's a huge deal for them to cut the warrenty from 3 to 1 years. I've noticed by about 1 year, it's time to upgrade to a new drive because of all the code bloat. Having 2 OS's at once and a bunch of mp3's doesn't help either.
Can't get the link, slashdotted. But my suggestion to all new computer builders is to not first put the motherboard on top of a metal case to make sure it all works first, and then have a family member(dad) come randomly push down on the mobo thus shorting it out in a puff of smoke. Also, trying to tape aluminum foil into the section of the circuit which shorted does not work. Ah well, the fun, and the ability to send it back, saying it was defective when I got it.
People are scared of things they don't understand.

Yet the hyperbole about an Internet attack frequently overshadows common sense. On Sept. 11, it took less than 24 hours after four passenger jets were used as weapons of mass destruction for cries of cyberterrorism to emerge as the next great threat, triggering calls for new legislation to broaden the authority of law enforcement agencies.
This is exactly the problem. Something incredibly bad happens(9/11), and people look for something to blame. What's the biggest rage in the world right now? The Internet. But most people don't understand the internet, computers, and such. As such, the fact that it's a magic black box that is connected to everything means that it's a danger, and needs to be regulated. We need to stop these knee jerk reactions. I'm not saying that security should not be a concern, but all these calls to regulate the entire internet is blatenly irresponisble. Deregulation fosters growth, much the same as kids with tons of rules generally don't grow up to be extremely crazy thinkers. Stop trying to make anything you see into a scapegoat. The problem is not the internet, nor is it brown skinned people from the middle east. The problem is unenlightened human beings.
My initial reaction was one of "Fuck those ho's", they can't do that! But then i realized that they own the network, and i am paying to use it. The worst that would happen is I would switch services. But p2p users are a small minority(even if the riaa and mpaa would have you belive they aren't), so they wouldn't lose too much money, and might even make more because other users would have faster access.

Sounds good. Kinda like ENRON, and the like.
From my expiernce in setting up really big tents, lead is heavy. Really heavy. The cost to orbit would be really high. At least, that's what I think.
I'm an idiot. Supposed to be in reply to the AC at the top, about his samsung monitors.

Pretty brilliant Idea. I'm waiting for the days of a fuel cell cell phone. I'm probably at a gas station more often then I'm at home.

Why do you pay $2.56 for every error found in your books? 256 pennies is one hexadecimal dollar.
Damn, and I thought I was a nerd!
