It should be noted that this isn't entirely accurate.
Your entire withholding is not matched by your employer. Far from it. I believe it's the ~7.5% social security tax that your employer must match. Therefore when you're self employed, you must pay the entire 15% yourself.
All other taxes are paid by the employee alone, and are of no concern to the employer above the employees gross pay plus that social security match.
A few years back I remember seeing things like a whole ham thrown down there. Then one day I think there were several old monitors. You never know what to expect.
You can't call the CGI in the hulk movie bad without having seen it. They actually pulled it off quite well.
The trailers and commercials certainly DO look bad. They look worse than the worse parts of the movie, IMO. I don't really know why they put crappy shots in the previews, but they did.
Just wanted to give you the right numbers for the two systems, since the only number you got right was PS2s 32MB of RAM.
PS2 has a 300MHz MIPS with 32MB of RAM yes. I don't think you can really compare that to the Xbox's CPU directly though, since we're looking at different architectures and design purposes.
As for the Xbox, it has 64MB of unified memory, and a 733MHz CPU which is like a P3 but without as much cache, making it more celeron-like.
Care to supply a link to where you read those torque numbers? I'm curious, since they seem very wrong to me.
Subaru WRX: 217 ft-lbs at 4000rpm.
And for vtec hondas:
Acura RSX type-s: 142 ft-lbs at 6000rpm. (weak) S2000: 153 ft-lbs at 7500rpm. (yeesh)
I just felt the need to point out these numbers since you mentioned some cars which I've looked into, and also ones that are particularly known for poor low-end torque.
Oh, and no cars make their peak HP at redline. It's always a few hundred to 1000 rpms before redline.
That's exactly what I was thinking. It seems there's an awful conflict of interest when politicians allow themselves to call people on the do-not-call list, joined only by non-profits.
Last winter, when I still went to CMU, I had my own small single room, and my one AMD-based computer. I literally never turned on the heat for the entire winter, not even once. In fact, I usually took my shirt off once I got home.
I think I was running RC5.
Pittsburgh isn't exactly a warm climate either. We did get snow. (it's snowing like mad right now)
I can't agree with you on the civics versus chevy/ford/mopar mods. My sister's boyfriend is a civic guy. It's in our driveway all the time, probably lowering the value of our house. =) Civic DX, probably one of the slowest cars you can buy, and automatic of course. Yellow stickers decorate the windows, windshield and rear window. (stuff like "exotic imports" and " racing") Yellow bandana hanging from the mirror, all kinds of crap inside painted yellow, floormats that say "racing" on them. Huge aluminum 2-story wing on the back, and exhaust tip that my dog can fit inside.
It's my impression that old fashioned tuners usually worry about rwhp instead.
You just shot yourself in the foot, as the others seem to have shown you.
WRC spec, which is most certainly NOT legal for sale in the US, and probably can't even run on pump gas, is still bested by a V8 which DOES conform to said rules. Read my two AC posts a few levels into the thread.
Oh? Name me one japanese car with a 4-cylinder sold in the US that could "smoke" even a crappy V8, say an old corvette or modern camaro.
Oh, what's that? Mods? j-spec? Oh, sorry I didn't know you were playing by a different set of rules.

Boy, it'd be really tough to do that 60 times a second.
Ever hear of AC (alternating current), friend? =)
Seems to me that if you didn't understand the reference, you wouldn't exactly know you had missed it.
Well, unless every simpson's reference is tagged in the subject line or in a reply.

Somebody care to enlighten me on where this was posted prior to my comment?
Some moderators not aware that I was responding directly to an error in the slashdot story as posted?
I thought everybody had to switch to DIGITAL TV, not necessarily HIGH DEFINITION DIGITAL TV.

Didn't I see you on here right after September 11th?

Please note that you are comparing a US spec Z06 to a WRX that is far and away from the one sold in the US!
US WRX has 227hp and 215ft-lb torque.
Just a bit of a difference, once you factor in the same laws and emissions that chevy has to follow with the Z06 eh?
(yeah I'm repeating my AC post, so sue me)
