You have no idea what you are talking about.
Once you shift out of first gear, you are no longer in 'shitty torque land'. The reason you see 800RWHP Supras running 12s is they are incredibly hard to launch, not to mention hard as hell to control wheelspin w/ that power. You also fail to mention how they will run a ~135mph or so. They are fast as shit, but very hard to launch.
Get a clue.
And yes, you CAN launch them if you learn how. Please see this and this for just two examples of what learning to drive a Supra can do for you.
Part of the reason it is "a lot faster" than Freenet is because the network is much, much smaller. Not only does a small network perform better, it also does less to preserve your anonymity.
Major PC manufacturers do not typically just throw new patches into systems for wide distribution without large amounts of testing to ensure that patch doesn't screw anything up. It's their responsibility to ensure that the system they deliver to you is stable and well tested. That is why patches lag behind.
You should always check and make sure your system is up to date with the patches you deem necessary. That is your responsibility as a computer owner.
Wow! I just registered and found 31 people in my "area", all males, 13 of which do not reside in my country and in fact only one within the same state.
This technology will go a long way! Sure beats typing random handles into yout buddy list.
Who CARES if it is not street legal. Technically, *MY* car isn't street legal.:)
Dead cow interior looks nice, but is too hard to maintain and too hot in the summer. My dead cow is going to be replaced w/ nice high quality cloth. Breathes much better.
What!? Attending a BBQ in support over our rights offends you? Thats the dumbest thing I have ever heard. That would be the same thing as me saying that you offend me for eating veggies. Cows were made to be eaten.
Errr, he wasn't WRITING this. It was obviously a phone interview and that was the transcript. If you have ever heard him talk you'll know thats exactly how he speaks. I am sure if it had been WRITTEN from him it would look alot better, but probably taken alot longer to get.
Ha! Where exactly are you getting these "exceptions" that magically apply specifically to you so you can do what you want w/ your life w/o worrying about upsetting God? I know they are not in the Bible, it seems you are pulling them out of your ass.
>>If I am so wrong then why do you keep desparately trying to counter my arguments? Is it because you realise I am right and that in your heart you are trying to believe?
Actually, I am arguing because your opinions are ridiculously extreme and I disagree with what you say. That is the POINT of arguing.
>>Because it is, of course.
Blind faith. Pathetic. You believe what you believe because you were told to. Never bothered to actually *THINK* for yourself. You are a sheep.
>>No problem, you have no chance of getting there. Instead you will become part of the army of the Enemy, destined to fight the Lord in the final war between Heaven and Hell. I'll see you there.
No, the stupid person would be the one that doesn't know when their opinion is not wanted.
But to the REST of your spew:
>>Look out of the window, and you will see the evidence of God's work. Surely it is self-evident that the world is as the word of God, as revealed to us through the Bible, has told us? What other proof is required?
What does that have to do w/ Christianity? Every religion has an explanation for why the world is how it is. What makes you so sure YOURS is right? Blind faith!
>>It's for your own good at the end of the day. Those who do not discover the love of the Lord and move into the light are eternally damned, and this is a fate to be avoided at all costs!
For my own good? Let *ME* decide what is for my own good! I'll tell you, if heaven is full of fools like you, I don't want to go there!
>>...Christianity is the one true faith and the other so-called religions are just statue-worhsipping and nature cults with beliefs that are indefensible in the face of revealed Truth.
Who exactly TOLD you that "Christianity is the one true faith"? Why do you think they are right any everyone else is wrong?
>>All we are trying to do is force you to see that unless you embrace the Lord you are destined to eternal damnation.
Here is a *PERFECT* example of what I am talking about. Look at the words you have used. "All we are trying to do is FORCE you..." This is what I have a problem with. If you believe you are going to heaven and everyone else will be eternally damned, then FINE. Believe it! Leave us the fuck alone! Quit trying to shove your warped view of the world down everyone's thoats.
>>...since sex is only for the purpose of begetting children.
Huh? Tell us a little about yourself. Are you married? If you are, do you only have sex when you want to have a kid? HAA! Thats ridiculus! Or maybe you havn't HAD sex. That may be it. That would explain your completely stupid comments on the matter.
Jeez. So EVERYONE except Christians are WRONG and are Satanists and will go to hell? Ha! Thats such a closed-minded and self-righteous view on our world. You do realize that Christianity is one of the smallest "major" religions, right? You are in the minority.
This is the kind of crap that has turned me off from Christianity. These damned "soldiers" out everywhere telling everyone they are wrong and are sinners and are going to hell. Just because they believe something just a little different.
And *THIS* guy is one of the worst ones I have met, and he lives in some sort of fantasy world where "Satan's minions" march around shoving "evil porn" in everyone's faces trying to "stray them" from "the word of the Lord".
Give it a rest buddy. Havn't you met your quota on new recruits this month yet?

What they are talking about here is NOT variable valve timing (VVT/VVTi) or valve timing electronically controlled (VTEC). What they are talking about is a CAMLESS vehicle. The valves will open and close by an electronic actuator, not a camshaft.
The car's ECU already controls even MORE important things such as fuel control. If you run lean you can cause just as much damage to your pistons, rings, valves.
The computer also controls very important things like ABS & traction control, all of which could cause a potentially fatal accident if they malfunctioned.

Watch out! Proctor & Gamble has copyrighted that word for their new type of Pringles that is only visible under infrared light.
Oooh, let me one-up you on the stupidity ladder.
I once checked whether a phone line was connected by touching the bare wires to my tongue like I was checking a 9v battery.
I couldn't speak for an hour.
I saw the "the the" when I read it the first time. Guess I'm already "slowed down" without the need for a TMS.
Yup. That's the American way. Laziness transcends practicality.

Wait a bit.
When I first started the d/l I was getting ~5k but eventually got around 100k sustained.
It finished early this morning but I left the dialog up to seed the network while I was at work.
being obsoleted.
Actually, it looks to have pretty good clearance up front. Besides, thats typically not too big a problem, just watch out for curbs.
:-(
I'm lower than that (See?) and have no problems up front w/ speed bumps, my exhaust is another story.

Does that sound right to you?
Don't just assume that because it has "GNU" in it that the source is open. Because it is not.

lol. See ya there!
lol! When it applies to YOU, it's OK! Hahahaha
Wouldn't sex without the intent to bear a child be wasting a "seed"? Isn't birth control a "sin"?
