Yeah, I agree as well, but you didn't mention if there was a better one out there... Like saying yeah life sucks, but since there's no real alternative, what's the point of complaining? Just saying.
It seems to me that the more automated and complicated automobiles become, the more people are drawn to old cars that are simpler to operate and repair. I think that vehicles that require LESS skill to operate are infinitely more dangerous, as it encourages people who SHOULDN'T drive to get behind the wheel. As I say, this is all imho, but for the most part, cars should be designed to be as efficient and as simple as possible without being made disposable. Also, I'd like to state for the record that bigger better stereos are a hazard. They completely take your concentration away from the road.
Now why would someone say something that silly? I think this post was written by some PR flunky at Microsoft.
Jump ship and land on the MS Titanic?

A Good Summer Read?

I agree that The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged are very good reads, but Ms. Rand's philosophy is self indulgent and elitist. If you aren't willing to be completely selfish and self righteous your existence is worthless? Because that's what I read. Ms. Rand is a very intelligent writer, and her works are convincing, but then again, alot of people were swayed by Mein Kampf. Read it, but don't let it take you in.
You felt that Martin ripped off Goodkind? But the Sword of Truth books are written with a juvenile style, and seem aimed at teenaged girls...
I thought that Martin's writing was creative, engaging, and very well thought out. Maybe it's just me, but I think in order to be called a ripoff, something should be inferior to the original subject.
