I don't even have a bike. I walk everywhere, smug with the knowledge that no carbon was released in order to build a vehicle. How do you like that, Smugmeister?
It would be a pretty crappy car if it engaged the seat belt PREtensioners POST-impact. I'd also rather it didn't "kill engine power" every time I hit the brakes. The engine speed is controller by the throttle (in a gas car), and the power goes through a drive train of multiple components to get to the axles. None of these disengage because you hit the brakes, although "traction control" systems might retard timing if severe wheel slip is detected. And what $20,000 compact automatically turns on hazard blinkers, mutes the stereo, and opens windows?
Much of this based on Greenspan-style Libertarian philosophies that market forces can correct any problem including fraud and crime, a position which he himself has now renounced and we as a people have yet to heed.
The Federal Reserve would not exist in a libertarian society. I guess someone modded you up as "funny" because "ignorant" isn't an option. The first and second banks of the US served their functions (until the second became corrupt and President Jackson rightfully killed it), but the Fed is corrupt, enigmatic, and detrimental to the republic. Since FDR, it has allowed the USA to essentially print money at will and rob the people through inflation.
To clarify, the brakes didn't respond well because at WOT, the vacuum assist has almost no vacuum. I once didn't believe when I heard in sudden acceleration cases that the brakes also didn't work, until someone reminded me about the air pressure in the manifold.
HOV lanes are an insult to the taxpayers who pay for highways. They're an even greater insult to the drivers who pay never-ending tolls to use those roads, then are told that they can't use part of it while everyone sits in traffic wasting fuel and polluting.
Well, we know that the earth was much warmer in the Middle Ages, and maybe even warmer in the 1940s than today, but supposedly knowledgeable people keep telling us that we're going to have oceanfront property in Utah in 100 years.
Gold has some inherent value. Just because you don't personally value it, doesn't make it less valuable. Paper money, on the other hand (and modern coinage, to a lesser extent), is fiat and worthless outside of the promises made by its issuing authority. I find it hilarious that geeks are debating the value of gold while their wallets are full of fiat currency and bank accounts full of imaginary fiat currency.
Did they stop teaching kids about the monetary system in the public schools? We learned why the barter system tends to give way to a monetary system back in the 1970s and 1980s. Hint: it has to do with the fact that the goods and services your produce are not necessarily of value to everyone else.
Why is that a "problem". If a B&W TV costs the same to make as an HD LCD, why shouldn't they be priced the same?
He's saying that AT THE TIME IT WAS PRODUCED, a B&W console TV cost as much as a big LCD TV costs now. With socialist price fixing, we would never enjoy the diminishing costs of technology that we do now. No one could ever cut their losses and sell off unpopular stock at reduced prices, either.
If you fix the price, then the only way to increase profits is to make something as cheaply as possible. This is a race to the bottom in quality. How's that for a rebuttal? Hurrrr...
I'll get back to you after I'm done with YOUR MOM.
Windows uses a memory model that is similar to OpenVMS. There is a reason it is called a pagefile, not a swapfile. Eliminating the pagefile has a different, negative impact on this kind of system.
The problem with articles like this is the lack of technical information is order to keep the PHBs engaged. If I knew that by "memory usage" they meant the total commit charge (see the Performance tab in Task Manager), I could assume the veracity of their results.
Duh. It would figure that their entire IT department didn't read the news about the Microsoft update causing PCs to BSOD on bootup if they had been compromised by a specific malware.

Sorry matey, but I only program in R++.
That's OK. No one watches MSNBC anymore anyway.
Sucks worse being a haughty prick on the internet.

Tinto is only one letter away from Pinto. Coincidence? I THINK NOT!

He's already proved he can create government jobs. The federal government is now larger than it ever has in history.
Nudge, nudge. That's the progressive way! Hey, can I ask that they not use my tax money to build HOV lanes, then tell me I can't use them?

Reagan didn't set the price. However, the tariffs and quotas obviously had the same effect.
You are correct. I should have said "profit margin."

Hypothetical, indeed. You might as well imagine mathematics where 1 + 1 = 3.
The funny thing is that he had a second hit song on his next album, which shows how dumb VH1 really is.
Quite a straw man. I movie no one wants to see makes no profit. No one's forced to see a movie.

Maybe this mission will catch a cyberdaemon, or at least a wraith, on camera.
