    Yes, they also forgot to mention the cost of the study. When asked, Kim replied "About a hundred dollars"

  2. Re:Appliance? on Sony Launches DVD-Burning Appliance · · Score: 1

    So if you do that and you are in an accident and a fender falls off, could you call that a piece of carp?

    They were talking about blockbuster movies, not art. The two are pretty much mutually exclusive, right?

    How is it "simplified english" when you add extra letters? Wouldn't less letters be simpler?

    And we all know how well that works. ;) Everyday on the way to work (MO) I see some heap that should never have passed inspection (no lights or bald tires, etc).

    We are so glad you are here. We would not have been able to understand that post otherwise. Thank you so very much.

    What does user id have to do with IQ? Am I missing something? Because someone got an id at slashdot.com years ago they are somehow smarter?

  11. Re:Thus the phrase... on EPA Fuel Economy Myth: Too High, Too Low? · · Score: 1

    Sure, my "needs analysis" applies to all the things the wasteful americans do. Odd that the world hates us so. You win. Feel better?

  12. Re:Thus the phrase... on EPA Fuel Economy Myth: Too High, Too Low? · · Score: 1

    Well, actually I do write my government officials, but they do nothing about fuel economy requirements or safety requirements. I will "analyze needs" as long as I perceive there to be a problem. That is a right I have as an American. I do fail to see how wasting a precious resource unnecessarily benefits anyone.

    Whatever. I stand by my comment. I honestly believe that most of the people with large SUV's could find a more realistic alternative. AWD cars, station wagons, AWD station wagons, small car-based suvs, etc.

  14. Re:Thus the phrase... on EPA Fuel Economy Myth: Too High, Too Low? · · Score: 1

    That is why I said "Sure there are people who have a use for them, but I would bet that most don't.". How do you get that I said "nobody needs an SUV ever"? Hello? Is this thing on?

  15. Re:Thus the phrase... on EPA Fuel Economy Myth: Too High, Too Low? · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Awww, come on. They care.....about themselves. You see, they might want to pull a boat once a month or it might snow some day.. Or.. or.. and don't forget, if they have an accident while driving, talking on their cell phone and eating a big mac, they want you to die, not them. Sure there are people who have a use for them, but I would bet that most don't.

    Put it in a lead box. That will also keep it hidden from that Clark Kent guy.

    Your parking/emergency brake does not rely on hydraulics, but rather a cable and lever method of engaging the brakes if the hydraulics fail (hence the term emergency brake). What you are describing is brake fade caused by the overheating of the brake pads. More info here: http://www.elephantracing.com/techtopic/brakefade. htm
