This will work in any manual transmission. You're basically using the synchro gears as a (bad) replacement for the full clutch. As long as you match revs properly before you push the gearshift into the desired gear, it will slide in fairly easily, with or without the clutch being pushed in. Attempting to do this without matching revs is likely to damage your clutch.
They made a remake of System Shock II with better graphics. It's called Doom 3. Of course, they ripped out all the RPG aspects because that was too interesting and deep to be in an FPS, but oh well.
The fact that other people misuse the word does not mean you aren't too.
The GP is correct. Unless it is a deliberate attempt to incite terror (thus the name), it isn't terrorism. There are other words, like sabotage, or espionage, that describe the act committed.
A person wearing a coat on a warm day isn't a terrorist either. The authorities not respecting habeus corpus, probable cause, etc., doesn't make them right and correct in what they label things.
At my work, they had a couple big production shop level printers hooked up to TCP/IP printer control devices, but were using a single computer to print to them, just that computer, no other.
One minute of work and my boss could print to them directly from her desktop, and she was happy.
If you can spend 10 minutes saving someone else an hour, do it.
A car is a discrete physical item, sold to you en toto by Ford. The theft of a car results in the theft of a car.
Computers, by and large, are not sold to you by software manufacturers. When it's easy (relatively speaking) to write a program that can cause physical damage to a computer, it is not a case of the software being vulnerable in and of itself, but the software providing a means of damaging your property. Even more, the data contained on the average PC are even more valuable than the hardware.
Moreover, it is not difficult to design software in such a way that it is not as vulnerable. Good coding practices would remove 90%+ of the security holes that virus writers take advantage of.
Software doesn't just "get infected" by virii or worms. It's not like it was perfectly good software until the cracker came along and ruined it. The day it was sold to someone, it already had gaping security holes. That they had not yet been exploited at time of sale does not make them non-existent.
If I have a machine running for 24 hours a day, if someone's stood working at it for 8 hours, there's 8 hours of production. If they're stood at it for 6 hours, there's 6 hours of production. 2 hours isn't wasted, it's 2 hours of production.
If the machine runs independent of the person running it, then the employer's wasting money having the person there at all.
So if you work only 6 hours a day rather than 8, all the bills/mortgage/food/taxes costs go down by 25% as well? What world do you live in?
The world where people don't purposefully misinterpret what I say to support their argument.
So, instead of working 8 hours a day Monday to Friday, you're expecting people to work 6 hours a day seven days a week? I can't see that being too popular.
Work isn't too popular. If you take a poll, I'm betting most people would rather not work.
There are more people coming in and out of the building, sure, but unless you're talking about automated doors using up electricity, the amount of electricity used is a function of how many people are in the building FOR HOW LONG.
Which, as already made clear, isn't really changing.
Did you even read the article, which said the average worker of an 8 hour day wastes 2 hours? And the subsequent debate that seems to favor the proposition that they waste those 2 hours because they're working too long?
The increased morale that comes with a 25% paycut?
Where I come from, getting paid the same hourly amount, only for less hours, isn't a pay cut. Then again, I don't come from bizarro world where:
So now they have to come in on Saturday/Sunday? Your idea is a disgrace.
is true. Millions of people work on Saturday and/or Sunday. In fact, the only places that I haven't consistently worked weekends were non-hourly, non-shift jobs.

That particular comment says nothing about violence, merely stimulation, and it's not demonstrably untrue.
Many friends of mine, including myself, at first finding porn, were happy with any thing; a nude picture was enough to get us horny and off. It escalated to multiple pictures, then moving pictures, then full DVD rips, and then many DVD rips, most of which are watched once and deleted because they didn't do anything for us.
That seems to fit in with what the author was trying to say, and I'm willing to bet that mine and my friends' experiences are not unique.
Other than a half-dozen times in various shift-working establishments, you're right. Except for the times I've worked in shift-working environments, I've never worked in one.
All the things you mention, you either haven't thought through, or aren't thinking about clearly.
There are the same number of workers at the building at any one time as there were before. Thus, the number of parking spots, tools, etc. are identical.
Water and electricity, likewise. There are the same number of people working at any time.
All the shift-working establishments I worked at either gave you a lunch break and let you leave the store/facility to buy lunch elsewhere, or had you pay for food you got at the facility. Either way, no increased cost.
Paperwork and administrative costs, I'll grant you, but in turn, you have to grant that the company is no longer paying each employee for 8 hours of productivity and getting 6. The marginal costs are wiped out entirely by the marginal gain, and that's not even taking into account the benefits gained through increased worker morale.
Also, administrative costs and paperwork, along with the "workers don't want to earn less" only applies if they reduce everyone's hours by 1/3 and hire another shift of workers, as opposed to giving employees less hours per day, but more days per week.
Uh...
I don't think you really understand how stock works.
The stock market is people buying stock from each other. If MS's stock tanks, the people who go broke are people who own MS stock (shareholders and any people who have stock options that work there).
The money MS has via stock sales it already got, from selling them in the first place. Bill Gates might lose some money if the stock goes to $0.01, but Microsoft's coffers won't really deplete much, unless the corporate asset investment program invests in itself, which would be unwise.
I don't mean to sound dumb, I'm just a visual sort of person...any chance you could draw up a quickie circuit diagram of that for me? I'm having difficulty seeing how it all links together.
You toss off "ecstasy is just modified meth" as if it means something. Table salt is just modified bleach. Lipstick is just modified beetle innards. "Modifying" a chemical is not so simplistic as it sounds. All drugs do have their drawbacks, however.
Where exactly did you get that E can fuck up your ability to have sex?
You gave them your code for free, and they gave nothing back to you.
Also, they didn't take anything from me. I still have my code. I chose to let anyone and everyone read my code and incorporate it into what they were doing. And if I chose a BSD license, I chose to let them do it without opening the source of their product.
There is no "free" with limitations.
I actually don't support free software, I'm just pointing out the gaping hole in your argument.

Sure, you stop using it, send all media and such back to the manufacturer, and they'll be happy to give you a refund.

Hm, let's see.
....
4 shifts x 6 hours x $10/hr = $240 dollars paid to employees.
3 shifts x 8 hours x $10/hr = $240 dollars paid to employees.
