Wrong. Suburban has modern engine and accessories, nothing like the 1933 one
That's what GP said:
Oh wait. The model has actually changed over the years and it's not the same thing that was introduced long ago despite it still having the same original purpose.
So? I paid a large amount of money for 1) Meets CA emissions standards, 2) Has performance of X 3) Has MPG of Y
Before the fix a have a car that meets 2) and 3), but fails 1).
After the fix, I will have a car that
1) Meets CA emissions standards 2) Has performance of W 3) Has MPG of Z
Where W < X and Z < Y. In other words, before the fix, I do not have what I paid for, and after the fix, I will not have what I paid for. How is this NOT fraud?
And if my mileage drops from the Advertised EPA 45 to 40 because of this? Since I bought my TDi specifically because of the MPG ratings, I would think I should have some recourse.
I bought a 2015 Jetta TDI (right when gas prices spiked). I was loving the ridiculous mileage I was getting. I figured I was saving about $150-$200 per month in fuel costs over my old Camry.
Now I'm probably going to lose a shitload of that mileage.

If you want to know about the merits of the practices that Malibu Media use, go to Ars, Techdirt, or Popehat and search for "Prenda Law".
Hint. There ARE NO merits to their practices.

Bugs (crappy software) are not malware/criminal. When software is *DESIGNED* to "misbehave", then it is.
It's not just El Capitan. Per the linked thread, Yosemite has the same issues.

Must have been a Zilog System 8000. Probably a model 21, as that was dorm fridge sized. The 31 and 32 were the size of a full size refrigerator.
Ran a Z8000 series processor at 10 MHz, and had about 8MB (if you were lucky) RAM. The hard drives were about 40MB and had an SMD interface.
They ran ZEUS, which was Zilog's System III variant.

My wife died from ALS. It was the most horrible thing I have ever seen in my entire life.
My late wife had an eyegaze computer for the last few months before ALS took her.
I can confirm what paent said about setting up. Aligning the damned thing so that it registered properly was a pain in the ass.
Why don't we just call it 49m/s^2?

Let me guess... you're talking about politicians?
IIRC, Ford did not take the government bailout.
Specifically, the argument is here.
You don't know what you're talking about.
My Jetta TDi spent a month complaining that the AdBlue was about to run out, and warning me that it would not start should such a thing happen.
So? I paid a large amount of money for

3) Has MPG of Y
Before the fix a have a car that meets 2) and 3), but fails 1).

What part of "mobile site" (I was on my iPhone) did you not understand?
I recently had to use the mobile version of /. for whatever reason...
By the FSM's Noodly Appendage, the site was unusable!!! And apparently the mobile site also ignores the "block advertising" check box.
I always wondered if Hitler's reluctance to use gas was a direct result of him being gassed in WWI.
