If you ride your bike everywhere you must live in the city, because only city dwellers and hippies avoid driving. And since you don't have a car I highly doubt you can be a good judge of how difficult it is to drive one.
I'll tell you what the monitoring is for. I hate analog gauges. They are ugly and bulky, I fit all my information on one screen. Plus I have the system set up so I can tune back my timing for long car trips that way I can take the compression down and run on cheaper gas. When my compression is all the way up I need to run super blue and that's very expensive. Also monitoring my engine is important to me. It's worth more than my car was when i bought it new, so I like to keep an eye on my investment.
SOme of us like performance so excuse me if I drive a TA that's had a little money dropped into it, ok, a little money is a lie. A lot of money dropped into it. But I now can go as fast as they make those little ricers look like they go in the movies.
Your absolutely correct and now I am off topic, but yes I have dual turbo running and sometimes I start to get the heads pretty damn hot if I am running her too hard, it's my own fault, their is simply too much compression, and compression makes heat.
Everyone has been assuming that I want to use a lap top for coding or something of that sort, but I personally use my laptop to monitor the extra temperature sensors I had installed in my engine as well as a digital boost sensor I have, plus I have been looking into integrating my fuel control system into my dash mounted computer as well.
These things may slightly distract me, but no more than talking to a passenger, looking at a billboard, or drinking coffee.
Also, you have insulted my driving, but I bet my record is better than yours I haven't even a fender bender, or as much as a speeding ticket on my record. I am quick and courteous. You can not tell me what is possible for me and what is possible for you. If you measure everyone based on your own abilities, I assume you also think that other people have trouble walking and chewing gum.
I am not in a hole and I did not say I was better than everyone else, I was making the assumption that most people are like me and can multi-task and be safe, I was making the point that I believe you can not multi task and that the possibility of you passing on your genes could be a bigger danger to all of us than me changing songs on my laptop that I mounted in my dash so I could use it as an in dash mp3 player as well an engine monitoring system. I like to keep a close eye on my engine, 20 pounds of boost isn't horribly uncommon, but it puts a lot of strain on my TA
There is a nice study for you. I am glad I clearly have no idea what I am talking about based on the information you gave above. How are you stating his information is correct? Should I just trust you and accept you're all knowing and define truth from untruth with no references to back up what your saying.
LOL...I always love the grammar police. I have nothing to add to the conversation, but I can rip into someone for bad grammar.
I am typing quickly because I want to get an idea across even if it isn't in perfect form. I read for content not grammar.
LOL, Clemson, the engineering school.
In another post I compared driving to walking, which is even harder to get computers to do, hence millions of dollars spent researching the honda robot that walks like a three hundred year old man.
So I should say driving is simple for humans, like breathing, making decisions and other things we do that robots can't. Digestion for instance is very complicated, but I don't need a manual for it, and as a matter of fact I don't even think about it.
A cell phone is just as distracting as a normal conversation if you have a hands free phone like I do. Since I drive a manual I can't have a phone in my hand.
No, it's ok I understand, like that research I did for the NSA, CIA and the FBI, that I also can not provide a refence for.
Also why did the air force, want to know about driving?
oh and I am well aware of that robot, Honda made great strives, but watch him walk, he is slow and has a terrible time with stairs, it's like watching paint dry. My point is highly difficult to program because of the complexity of bi-pedal motion and yet we find it simple
can you see to the right while looking to the left????
NOOOOO
OH GOD
WHAT JUST CAME FROM THE RIGHT
AHHHHHH!!!!!!!
AND your sister burns to death in the heap of your multi ton vehicle
I love how you think what you just described is complex. WOuld you describe walking as complex? A robot can't do it. You have to automatically adjust your balance with each step and it is considered the hardest thing to program, bi pedal motion that is. if your not careful you can sprain your ankle, walk into moving traffic, or go carreening right off a bridge. But for me, walking is simple, I do check all my mirrors, I use my eyes quickly needing only to check a 20 times a minute, meaning my eyes have lots of left over cycles to be used doing other things. Also I listen to music in my car, quite loudly, but my ears listen for key noises outside my car, sirens, screeching tires, and other things, things I don't have to think about because my sub conscious handles those "simple" processes. My brain has subconscious and conscious processes that can perform independant of eachother, I am sorry
YOU
can not do this and have to think carefully about everything you do, I bet you can't chew bubble gum and walk either, poor guy, do you also think breathe in/breathe out, or constrict, unsconstrict for your muscles, must be hell when you go jogging.
constric hamstring
breathe in
circulate blood
take in visual data of course
adjust balance for forward leg movement

cache overflow
and then you hit the ground
poor SOB
I am so sorry for you
Luckily I don't live in a screwed up state like california, filled with idiots that would elect the terminator and make rediculous laws. It will not prevent accidents, there is a law against drinking and driving, but yet how many of those accidents are there. Laws against murder, laws against lots of shit. Most laws only punish people that wouldn't cause a problem in the first place.
let me also change my post to say something completely different and then see if the question to the previous post then makes any sense, you said 200, not 120, and why was he doing the legal speed at 120 and you were doing 1/3 of his speed, that sounds like a good way to cause an accident, if you need to drive that slow, find a different road.
Yep, guess we should take those computers our of jets and helicopters then. Or are you implying that your drive to work requires more mental capacity than my buddy piloting an apache. Where he has a whole eye devoted to a computer screen. If you can't glance at mapquest and keep your mind focused on the road as well, please don't breed, we don't want your genes spreading.
What was more dangerous that he was looking for a CD or doing 200KM/H which for people that aren't european fags that's 124.2742384 mile/hour (mph). Which by the way is already illegal. So lets make laws to prevent accidents that could have been prevented by several other laws allready in place. This for instance, reckless operation, speeding, failure to signal.
lets make all cars remove vanity mirrors too then they are distracting for women putting on their make up in the morning. And make women where less revealing clothes so I don't get distracted looking at them. And remove all billboards, they distract me.
Hey listen, I pay taxes, I pay for insurance, and I have never been in an accident. So don't be my mother and tell me a bunch of little small things I can't do, because something might happen if I do them. Lets have a little self government. Lets not make a thousand oppressive laws that just replace laws already in place. Like the laws that say you can't hit other vehicles on the road, those laws cover this inherently because if I am not paying attention and hit someone, I get in trouble. Simple as that, no more specific law needed.
Ummm...if I am not paying attention and get in an accident, jerking off, playing with my cell phone, stairing at the blonde next to me, I cause the accident, I get the ticket. The law already covers this inherently. THe driver that causes the accident gets a ticket. Why is this law even needed?
Some of us have the ability to do two things at once, considering the fact that driving is a rather simple mental process, books should be outlawed too if laptops are, I see lots of people reading books on the road, and it takes more concentration for me to read in my car than glance over at mapquest on laptop.
I know we like making wild, subjective arguments at this board but comparing an 8M matrox to even an GeForce4 MX the quality wouldn't be similar. I don't know if your smoking crack or what, but your wildly unfounded arguments that your text is clearer made me laugh so hard I fell off my chair. Also most text and 2d clarity has to do with your monitor more so than the graphics card, because of the simplicity behind rendering a 2D image.
sometimes birds accidentally carry fish eggs as well as other things, very great distances, hence how we opened our pond with no fish in it, now their are lots.
>1) You are out in the countryside for a picnic with your family. Your child trips and smashes her head....
Maybe Darwinism should explain this, if your daughter is that clumsy, than, I wouldn't trust the people that she got those genes from to go flying down the road at whatever speed they like to insure their daughters safety while probably running over two more children in the process

I know students of Clemson, quite honestly I am not impressed with the school in general, but hey what can you expect from SC
