i wouldn't stake my opinion on some cars that throw rods during a race. either you're exaggerating here to try and drive your point home harder or there are a lot of losers in vegas. i'm gonna vote 'all of the above'.
anyone that puts nitrous oxide into a stock engine deserves to get a thrown rod or a blown engine, which proves my point that you've not ever seen a real muscle car. real muscle cars aren't stock. real muscle cars are highly tuned machines that don't throw rods and don't lose to imports.
and yes i can compare a 2000 lb car to a crotch rocket, if someone tries to compare a '67 chevelle to a new import. a '67 chevelle and a '03 import are just as different as an '03 import and an '01 kawasaki 1100. so, yes i can compare them, because others are making the same cross-class comparison.
learn to spell: "loosing" is spelled "losing" "doge" is spelled "Dodge" "shied" is spelled "shield"
then you've not seen a real musclecar. anyone that knows how to build and tune an engine can do under 9 seconds in the quarter mile and i've seen some go even faster.
i for one would rather build a racer from scratch than buy a subaru, or any foreign race car for that matter.
modern engine technology is very good, and all foreign and domestic cars have them now. old cars don't and i'm really bloody impressed with what people do with those old engine designs. but don't think for a second that all of those old cars have old engines using old technology. there are plenty of very good NEW engines that have computer controlled valves, able to adjust their timing half way down the track. they also have nitrous oxide injectors built into them. and yes, they will (and do) smoke your little punk imports.
let us not forget how ugly those asian race cars are, as well. come on, admit it. you'd much rather race in an american car than an import, given equal performance characteristics. i know i would.
and lets go all the way and fully ignore the class boundaries. imports are from 1/2 to 1/4 of the weight of these classic american muscle cars and they STILL lose to the classics. one step further over the racing class boundary, i GUARANTEE that my friend's kawasaki 1100 motorcycle will beat your imprezza, even if i give you a 1/8 mile headstart. that's 1/2 the entire race.
NOTHING will beat a classic american muscle car. good luck getting lucky in the back of a subaru, unless you're a midget or a very small asian or something. same with motorcycles. but an old chevelle or mustang or camaro... they have speed, looks, they're often convertible, you can get lucky in the back, and you can adjust the weight of the whole car tremendously, since they (for the most part) aren't unibodies. you can replace all that steel with fiberglass, add nitrous, and the thing will not only still look stock, but it will win 9/10 races it participates in.
this discussion could go on and on but you'll never sell me on an import race car. there is nothing they can do that you can't do with an american car.
maybe, but nothing new can compare to good old american muscle car power. my '67 chevelle has 650HP and can smoke your precious imprezza. and i bet i paid less than you did, and i'll also bet that i can trump your import at any race or car show.
yep, and ya know what? news organizations aren't supposed to play april fools jokes. its unprofessional, and if they're this cavalier about journalistic integrity, then how much more integrity do you think they have the rest of the year? (clue: the answer is 'not much')
to me, the sheer volume of april fools jokes today, the duplicates that happen every week, the spelling mistakes that happen in 4 of 5 posts PROVE to me that this site is one giant year-long april fools joke.
for a station with no revenue to broadcast any song covered under the license to any number of people up to 100, the fee per year is $264. less than you though huh. for that price i bet you don't get a fat-ass shipment of cd's but at least you're covered legally for an in-office webcast stream.
just create a webcast station, and pay the ASCAP fees. much cheaper than the $1million discussed earlier, and all they have to do is tune in. they could also listen to the radio.
all these streams on shoutcast.com pay ascap fees and when they do that they are able to broadcast ANY song covered under the license. i believe that you get a fat-ass shipment of cd's when you do this, too.
talk to ascap, they'll hook you up. no its not free, but its a hell of a lot more legal than what you're about to do.
you won't regret building one, even if you spend $2k on it like i did. arcade-infinity.com has some pretty cheap cabinets like mine for $500 or less, depending on what you're looking for.
When your CPU comes on and off of the HLT (halt) instruction, it creates a tiny electromagnetic field that is perceptible by your sound card.
you don't hear it on file copies because the CPU is steadily on, and not halting.
This is much more perceptible on Linux than on Windows (with the same exact computer) because linux likes the HLT instruction a lot more than windows does.
You're often guilty until proven innocent here. For instance, while riding a bus or train in sydney, you often have to prove that you are not riding illegally or face a minimum fine, or (as i learned the hard way) jailtime for giving them the "innocent until proven guilty" speech. If you can't prove you didn't steal, then Aussie law says you did, and lip service to the transportation authority personnel will get you locked up until you can prove that you were, in fact, riding legally.
Also, when you leave any store in australia with bags that you entered with, often you must surrender them for a hand search to prove that you did not steal anything. This is even AFTER you pass through the security tag detectors. Guilty until proven innocent reigns here.
a bit more on topic - if you have tens of thousands of songs that you've downloaded, I say that you shouldn't be too surprised that they're going to try to force you to stop. steal all you want, i think this in particular is a victimless crime, but don't get caught, and don't scream "information wants to be free!" when you get caught, you are breaking the law, after all.
And if you own the music you've copied to your hard drive, you better be ready to prove it at any time, since music companies do not believe in due process, and they're quite happy to hand you your own ass in a little plastic bag without a trial if they catch you.
i'm sure the jet was a real gift, not some silly mistake because they don't realize that buying a plane then renting it is dumb.
then, as part of the plan, they rent it from jobs, to compensate him in ways other than salary. the cool part is that the people renting the plane pay for the upkeep. Jobs is making quite a good killing on that plane, and i say he deserves it. he pays taxes on the rental money, and since it is regular income, he's not doing anything shady by doing this.
and the whole point of buying instead of renting is that it is cheaper in the long run, not so you can sell the thing later. not everything is an investment property.
They don't have a network, they're licensing their show to Discovery, and their wholly owned subsidiary, TLC.

I'm so f**king tired of hearing how perl is hard to read.
ITS NOT HARD TO READ UNLESS YOU MAKE IT HARD TO READ!!! and this is true for ANY and EVERY language out there. I can read perl all day long without problems, as long as it wasn't meant to be hard to read, but if you put a C program in front of me it might as well be some made up language that doesn't work, i woudln't be able to tell the difference.
I've come to the conclusion that those of you that say perl is hard to read either a) don't have a single solitary clue about perl at all, b) are trying to stir people up, or c) are trying to convince everyone else that your favorite language is "better" for each and every circumstance, which isn't true of any language at all, not even perl.
i think it would be better if it shined from the bottom up - as a previous poster insinuated, looking up into a laser (or other bright light) could be not only painful but dangerous.
Mounting something inside a counter shining up onto a peice of darkly smoked or ground (underside only) glass would be sexier too, I'd say. And probably easier to work on and easier to set up.
But to answer your question, no, i don't know of anything that could do this.
don't mistake opinions voiced on-air as substance. raw, un-opinionated news always has the most substance because you're forced to think of the real meaning yourself. fox news especially suffers from the "here, let us do your thinking for you" syndrome.
use perl next time - its only as hard to read and write as you make it.
all the functions you need to write a webmail app are already coded as modules and all you have to do is tie them together. the code from acmemail can probably be used to help one write a perl-based webmail application: http://www.astray.com/acmemail/
perl isn't as scary as some people make it out to be. and usually those people don't know perl, so they're talking through their arse.
this idiot is exactly what natural selection is for. why we try to protect these people from themselves is beyond me. sometimes nature just does what it has to.
end of microwave transmitter does not mean the end of trouble caused by microwave interference.
try what I tried. point an open, running microwave oven at any electronics. BZZT. guess what? those little arcs that you see when you put metal in the microwave have happened in between all the little electronic components of the target. NOTHING works. I tried it on a used video camera that would not correctly load tapes, and i tried it from 20 feet away.
I turned on the video camera, plugged it into a TV and pointed the microwave oven at the camera. then, (you guessed it) i turned the microwave on. The camera instantly stopped working (the red light went off), and it killed the TV as well. Neither can be fixed (according to the TV repair guy) and neither lasted more than a second.
the end of the microwaves does not mean the end of the problems.
those of us that are actually *aware* that there is a world outside of the US and Iraq know that the '1' is the country code for north america. Don't know why you have to dial it, though.
When you throw tennis balls, once the ball leaves your hand, there is no longer any force acting on the ball, and it will travel in a stright line, unless acted on by another force (air resistance). this is why you miss your friend unless you aim ahead.
gravity does not aim ahead. i'd love to see some sort of gravity shield be developed (i read something about this in Wired a few years ago) so this could be tested.
Einstein said that no *information* can travel faster than light, not that *nothing* can travel faster than light. I promise you, things do move faster than light. take your laser pointer and shine it from one side of the sky to the other. that dot moved faster than light when it travelled across the sky, but you could never get information from point a to point b faster than light that way.
who knows if it moves faster than light or not. if it does, that will certainly throw general relativity for a spin in a real hurry.
