Odd. See, I stated that I've never popped one... With this in mind, why would I, specifically, need a "better built car"? Your skills in reading comprehension seem to need some work.
Also, you talk about things you don't seem to have a complete comprehension of. In fact, I would be willing to lay my hard-earned cash down on a bet that states you have no idea how an automotive airbag deployment system works.
So, in conclusion, you're probably nothing more than a simpleton who has an above average ego and access to the internet. Therefore, you are decidedly not deserving of your self-proclaimed "better than everyone else" role.
Uh huh. You can pop one without being in an accident, you know. And no, I have never blown one, nor have I caused one to blow.
But, hey, good job on being an elitist fuck though!
Airbags cheap? Have you ever popped one? $1000+ Cats are pretty cheap for having platinum in them, and seatbelts are definitely cheap, but not airbags.
From what I've read, the people who evacuated the area received more radiation exposure from simply being outside than the people who just stayed in their homes near the site.
...except ease and speed. I had somewhere around 10000 files. I would have killed myself before I would re-extract that by hand again.
By the way, Ices is the Xiph.org streamer, same guys who made Icecast. Icecast is just the software the provides the serving connection. Ices v0 WILL play mp3, but there was something about it I wanted that was only in v2, I can't remember what though. I don't know why they don't include mp3 support in Ices v2. Maybe licensing issues.
Exactly. Just simply follow the rules of the road. They aren't that freakin hard to remember, and they are designed to make things fast and safe. Sure you will encounter situations where they aren't valid (accident right in front of you, kid running into the street) but any driver allowed a license should be intelligent enough to make good judgements in those situations.
It's not really that big of a deal. If you encode at a high enough VBR going into OGG, you won't notice. I run my own little internet stream on Ices v2 and you cannot play mp3 through it. I had to transcode all my mp3's, and while a few got fucked up, most don't sound worse for the wear.
You may never see this, but seriously, if I write the word "like", what does that mean to you? I mean, if you were to define it in the context I used it? Because, to me, it means "an example is".
Regardless, I have plenty of concept of history. From one post I wrote, you seem to have determined how much I know about this topic, hmm? I suppose I shouldn't expect more form this cesspool, but alas, I come back like an abused wife.
Probably shouldn't reply to you, but do you notice the vast amount of Chinese and Indian student in higher education enrolled in American Universities? Yeah, they stay here to get smart, then go home. Brain Drain. It's kinda sad when you can't be bothered to log in to be a dick.
Actually, we technically have more "area" than China if you count Alaska (it's very close, US: 9,631,418 sq km vs China: 9,596,960 sq km, source CIA World Fact Book, but that also includes water, which we have more of, check for yourself to see). China does have very little more actual land. However I'm just being a dick and not really participating.:)
All I know, is that it seems to take a MAJOR issue (like a giant war) to really cause a superpower to fall. So, barring the end of the United States by military coup or what not, there will come a point where China will no longer be able to make leaps and bounds vs the US because the time will have come that China becomes a first world nation with first world problems. It's much harder to totally surpass your opponent technologically than to just catch up by taking their ideas and performing a brain drain on their universities and pretending that by making your population smarter, they won't start to demand more and more resources.
What I'm saying, is that it doesn't matter that China is catching up. The problems that happens in all developed nations will happen there. For example: their smarter population will demand increases in pay, pensions, more vacation, etc... Becoming a first world nation is tough, every first world nation is having some sort of major problem. China will have theirs.
This is retarded. You can buffer overflow anything. We managed to buffer overflow Java the other day at work. I understand that you're being all whiny about unchecked buffers, but let's be realistic. All it takes is ONE support function from a C programmer worth a damn and unchecked input buffers are dealt with.
Regardless of that, what high level language are you going to use for the BIOS that provides buffer overflow protection and will run on raw x86 hardware? There are no Java VM's or libraries down there.
I shot a Glock 21C that did that shit. God that's annoying. The FN Five seveN has a great ejection method, it fires the round forward when ejected, WAY out of your way.
Then stay there. No one cares about what *you* want in any way, shape, or form. Seriously, way to think ahead. I mean, shit, horses and sail boats can get you anywhere in the world, right? Fuck those Wright brothers, fiddling with shit and ruining a good thing.
I agree. I was writing a simple (retardedly simple) script to calculate vehicle speed from engine RPM, trans gear ratio, tire size and final drive ratio. Nothing hard, but it was ALWAYS telling me I was travelling 1000+mph. I'm used to C, so this shit was pissing me off. Of course, it was because the goddamn langauge was concatenating string representations of the numbers instead of performing addition. Who ever decided the operation of concatenating strings preceeded addition of floats in javascript is a retard. Of course, using a totally different operator would be fine as well.
I just had a nice discussion with the local PD while I was being booked (ugh) and the topic of quotas came up. One of them said "No, there is no quota anymore, that's illegal. However, there ARE performance standards and the better you perform the better you look." So, there seems to be an "unspoken" quota.

Ah, CompUSA. A buddy of mine had his back to me as he was working on an iMac at his bench. He pulled the shield and one of the guys was telling him to ground the thing so he wouldn't get shocked. He somehow managed to get his hand on the metal part of the screwdriver we used for this function, which wouldn't have been a big deal as he wasn't a path to ground, but the ops manager had his arm around my buddy's shoulder, chatting it up, while holding onto the work bench frame with the other arm. They both went home for the day.
See, that first thing you said "they were pressured into voting for it" means the motherfuckers weren't doing their jobs. If you can be pressured into voting for something you have not read, you should ALAWAYS SAY NO. Pisses me off to no end.

Way to miss the point. GP post was mentioning this in the context of the price of a car, not in the context of a cost/risk ratio.
Airbags cheap? Have you ever popped one? $1000+ Cats are pretty cheap for having platinum in them, and seatbelts are definitely cheap, but not airbags.
"Ze goggles! Dey do NOTHING!"
Almost everyone is scum! News at 11.
Well, it's an information store. Libraries are changing with the technology used to contain information, that's all.
From what I've read, the people who evacuated the area received more radiation exposure from simply being outside than the people who just stayed in their homes near the site.
I meant the ease and speed of automatically reencoding my whole library using a script, as opposed to re-ripping my CD collection.

What state do you live in? Because, seriously, fuck that shit.

I looked up immigrating to NZ before. Seems like a bitch to do unless you are wealthy.
