They simply engineer the system to optimize the car for the mileage test. This means that it works best when driven exactly as required by the test. When you deviate from that method the mileage falls off. With a small, underpowered car the fall off will be greater percentage wise than bigger cars that generally have extra torque and power and can better handle more agressive driving without overworking the engine. A lot of people are finding that these newer trucks that get great gas mileage when used as a car use much more gas than the bigger trucks do when towing because they're straining to pull the load. My Dad's old 454 Chevy Suburban got 11.5 miles driving around town and about 11 miles per gallon pulling our travel trailer. When I drove it I could hardly tell the trailer was behind us without looking. A friend borrowed our trailer and behind his 351CI equiped Ford pickup he got 6 miles per gallon where without a load he got about 15MPG. If you tow all the time you need to buy a tow vehicle and not a car disguised as a truck.
There is some virtue in "tried and true." I think systemD may not be as bad as a lot of people make out but then I don't really know that it was all that needed either. Either way though I can't tell much as a user that it has changed under the hood of the latest linux distro I run. Currently running SparkyLinux which is a Debian derivitive.
Really? Where were you when microsoft forbed Vista off on everyone? The IT guys where I work spit flame and venom every single time someone uttered the term Vista. I learned a lot of new vocabulary during that period. I've spent most of my life in or working for the military and I was impressed by the obscenity and profanity laced invective.
I expect they just let his employers know they didn't appreciate the criticism and if they didn't do something about it they'd feel like his employers supported his view. I expect that's all it took. They probably wet their pants then fired him in a panic.
It makes you seem like a dipshit to fail to understand that you aren't supposed to be in the far left lane unless you are passing the car in the left. That's the law. I don't know how many times I've been on I-75 behind a dipshit like you running a snail race against the car in the right. The car in the right lane speeds up, you speed up. The car in the right lane slows down, you slow down. Now you know why everyone flips your stupid ass off as they finally pass you on the right side you smug, self righteous bastard.
What did anyone expect. This is the only way Comcast knows to respond to criticism. Did he think they were going to change? Improve? What a laugh, they have monopoly power and can do as they please.
I figure we're overdue for a big nasty real war complete with 7 and 8 figure casualties. It might well go nuclear in which case a billion or three will probably perish. That shoud solve lots of problems.
Yes, keep driving the speed limit.....in the right lane you fucking dipshit. Get the fuck out of the left lane like the damn driver's manual you never read clearly states. If you aren't going fast enough to pass anyone you've got no business over there you sanctimonious Bastard.
Now, now, no need to get snippy. I didn't say the muslims were right, only that the crusades should be considered a war. The war you speak of was back many centuries prior when the Rashidun Caliphate wrested control of the area from the Byzantine Empire. Ancient history and very bloody but I"m having a problem with the "100's of millions" thing. Very strong exageration that is.
I think we should stay gone. This thing has been building for decades. It's going to have to play itself out and the longer it takes for it to happen the worse it will be.
Reagan was a moderate Republican. People don't remember those much because just like the moderate Democrat they're pretty much extinct. Everything is extremism now.
Why does everything have to be about the two mafias. Can't we leave the fucking politics out of any discussion. What has damaged this country more than anything is the two mafias that alternate control in DC. We switch from tweedle-dee to tweedle-dum both with great promises but things only get worse while they tell us how much better off we are. The side out of power actually cheers as the side currently in power fucks the country up. They are happy because they know that when side A screws up side B will soon have it's chance to fuck things up. A plague on both your houses.

Tell them what? That 100's of millions is an exageration? I doubt I'd have to tell them, I'm sure they could figure that out.
The real question is....can you get away with it?

Yes, and you can suck my FAT dick.

Welcome to the real world. People are mostly mad.
Does masturbation count?

Damn....I forgot to give you this link.

We use that new math now. 10 minus 12 equals 22.
I think we should stay gone. This thing has been building for decades. It's going to have to play itself out and the longer it takes for it to happen the worse it will be.
Congratulations. That's the most awesome piece of twisted logic I have seen in a while.
Well that's like saying the Crusades weren't wars.

Ooooooh! Dad-Nab it! I have no mod points!
They could take the FOX chicks and do jello wrestling. That would probably do good ratings.
That's a lot of people with money to burn. I like watching pro football but really I've seen high school games that are just as much fun to watch.
The ticket isn't the problem. It's all the other expenses involved plus the fucking traffic. They could give me tickets and I wouldn't go.
