The people downstairs are quite loud and I would love have a robot that could dance around and return the favor with out bothering my other neighbors or even needing me to be home. I wonder if it could be taught to dance when it hears bad guitar playing.
Or maybe they do pass emissions

Or maybe they do. I just had mine checked (Pierce County, WA, USA) and all they did was test the gas cap for leaks and scan the ECU for codes.
That appears to be the standard here OBDII equipped cars. The have two-wheel dynos that they use on cars w/o OBDII, and might have used on me if I had 2wd.
My catalytic converter is starting to fail (I reset the code for the test) and it has come to my attention that I buy a "test pipe" and dummy after-cat O2 sensor (that will spoof the ECU) for less that a new cat. My car is not modified but this one is tempting. I would still pass the test, save some cash, and maybe get an extra horse or two.
the 1950s want there tech back.

Every car I have ever driven (w/ an automatic) had a provision for forcing a downshift. You generally grab the lever and move it out of "D" (my '59 Dodge had pushbuttons). Making an auto not upshift itself itsn't exactly a huge step forward.
As to the Mini, it is supposed to be smart enough that when you "floor" the pedel the transmision changes to a ratio that (for that road speed) places the engine in a more powerfull, less eficient RPM. Or were you advocating that the trasmisions comuters be taught to shift in steps to emulate a normal auto?
No? Just the employees of AMD, and the companies that build the plant and the companies the provide goods and services to those companies, plant and its employees.
Driving truckloads of chips to the port isn't my idea of a great tech job, but it is a job. So think of the savings in (the German equivalent of) unemployment/welfare.
Maybe its not such a bad deal.
Who cares. I don't think I'm the only one who chooses games based on third party reviews and word-of-mouth, not which one is one the top shelf. As long as they offer a search function, it shouldn't matter (much) which game is one the home page or the top of the genre's listings.

How is this different from a book or CD? Except that there is a chance that a book or CD will sell out if you don't buy soon enough.
