star wars horse has been beaten to death, skinned, gutted, bones and hooves boiled to glue. Then Lucas squatted over the offal and took a shit lasting for years. Time to forget the whole damn thing.
since the amount of money only increases over time, each partial payback allowing the loaning of even more times the amount in money, it is indeed money creation. Our western money is loaned into existence.
I was wondering why some of the victims didn't try parking brake after finding regular brake not allowed while gas pushed by design flaw, but Lexus has wonderful electronic parking brake! So to summarize the Toyota comprehensive YOU'RE FUCKED methodology:
1. throttle not brake given priority by ECM unlike normally designed car 2. engine shutoff not allowed while in drive 3. neutral shift not allowed while gas depressed, not allowed unless brake pressed, but see #1 4. parking brake is electronic, see #1
Yup, they pretty much thought of everything short of finding a nice soft massive object to plow into
some models don't allow that unless brake is being depressed, which to us old farts is not intuitive at all...in fact I'd call it dangerous design flaw
and you believe that bullshit explanation of cause of sudden runaway acceleration by sticky accelerator pedals? guess what, the fed DOT ain't buying it, they say they are still looking at electronic cause of problem
of course was touching accelerator, intermittent problem happened on highway at 60 MPH! and note not *failed* O2 sensor which PCM software will compensate for as others have posted, but faulty as in working then not working (yup, did the geeky thing and plugged in ODB-II and went back on highway for more fun before going to dealer for replacement
I know, you'll merely kill the engine, . Beginners in stick shift sometimes do that one, so nervous they stomp brake while surprise jerky start from hitting gas too hard. Brake really are way more powerful than engine.
oh man, what a load - if you had real engineers working on actual moon project you'd be more worried about nonlinear FEA software at this point. There's a reason why the USA is the only nation to ever had put humans on the moon - it's way too complex, way too expensive, and requires way too many PhD level man-decade equivalents of effort.
no, you're swallowing Toyota's bullshit explanation that does nothing to explain victims reports of hard out-of-control acceleration. Doesn't explain people who have actually wrestled the cars to dealships with engine redlined and brakes smoking, and turned them off and given key to dealer personnel so they could experience the demon-possessed-mechanical monster thrill themselves, some cars doing it right from being put into drive at standstill.
I've heard it screamed from recordings on news of victims soon to die, that conflict not having resolution....but the thing they didn't try was cutting ignition.
And as to cutting ignition, can't believe the number of pussies (wimps not females) on forums I've seen whining that cutting ignition means you lose power assist for brakes and steering. so what, I've driven cars that had either failed with no problem, little more elbow grease or leg pushing, no big deal. Are most people such couch potato weaklings they can't drive or parallel park a car with broken power steering belt?
victims report out of control acceleration where even pressing the brake harder merely mades engine ECM increase engine power, and can't merely move selector to neutral either (have to press brake in their stupid design). Problem is clearly circuitry or software failure, nothing to do with their bullshit gas pedal or floor mat nonsense. And gas pedal now only controls air intake, the computer controls fuel, not your daddy's cable pulled throttle.
no, don't confuse remaining fuel store of Sun with time period in which its slow expansion will raise the surface temperature above that animals could survive. Your linked wikipedia gives 1 billion more years for the time Earth will be too hot to have liquid water. The time span for us multi-cellular beings is MUCH shorter, on the order of 300 to 450 million years.
you gotta be kidding, in less than half a billion years the expansion of the sun will make life impossible on earth, the oceans will boil away. Ironic that the time scale to attain life with civilization to evolve on a place like earth is almost on the order of how long a sun makes life possible before it roasts the life incubator. Maybe intelligent life is possible on a place like oceans of moons of jupiter, they might have longer.
If you think we'll go somewhere else, that's very optimistic considering civilizations rise and fall.
anything on the desktop was done better by GUI for commercial Unix over 20 years ago, until maybe three years ago the user experience of NeXSTep Windowmaker or IRIX IRIS beat the half-baked KDE or GNOME crap
yes, it will be the techies, half of them according to industry analysts. January 27, mark on your calendar, Larry is going to tell what lives and what dies. Funny the dweebs here whining "oh they *can't* kill my crucial-to-the-world Sun thang.....Oracle is a multi-billion dollar company, the market of things such as glassfish or whatever else is chicken shit to them. Fact is Sun has been pissing money for years on things such as Java, never did figure out how to monetize them. So even free Sun Java might go up in smoke on Oracle's whim.
let's go one better than having an article every time Linux has a minor point release, let's have one about some future minor point release! Did Linus take a dump this morning after waking up, or is he one of those mid-morning or afternoon crappers? the fan boys must know!
mimicking all those other OS that scale from an embedded device to a supercomputer, or that run on more than a dozen architectures? let me count them.....uuuhhhhmmmmmmmm..........
hahaha, a dotted black line of "expectations"? that's been the climate modellers problem all along, let's just put the "hockey stick" on that graph if wishful thinking to justify agendas is the goal

could have been worse, someone could have mentioned with that tongue jar jar could do oral sex on someone's fallopian tubes or large intestines

The question for you and me is: do you want to be the brute?
silly question, if it involves much resource$ going into my pocket, fuck yeah

I fart in your smell-o-cam's general direction
but I don't care if my toaster or microwave or car's software is open source. if appliance does what I want I probably will not install anything on it

silly question
the answer is, marry her.
if she doesn't stop turning tricks you can be her pimp and have double income! bonus!
