Except it's more like being forced to buy an Frank Zappa's entire catalog to get "Valley Girl". You have to get 20 Spanish language channels, 10 shopping channels, 3 HBO's, 3 Showtimes, 4 Cinemax's, etc. etc. then if I try to drop anything, they remove the package "discount" on my "Customer Premise Equipment" (which I have paid for about 3 times over by now unless these really are $360 remote controls) and it cancels out the money I save by dropping something!
I wasn't comparing them - I meant that as 2 separate thoughts - sorry if that didn't come across, but there are both gasoline and diesel engines on the road.
In a gasoline engine, it still doesn't make sense to turn it off for the length of most red lights, but it probably makes sense to turn it off if you are stopped for a long train.
Stopping and starting the engine in most cases is going to use more fuel than leaving it idle for a few seconds. Also, the emissions while starting the car are worse as the fuel doesn't burn as completely the first couple of seconds.
I have some friends who do long-haul diesel 18-wheeler trucking and they claim that they actually use less total fuel on their trips if they leave the engine running 24 hours while they're stopping for meals and sleeping inside a motel (for 8+ hours).
The computer screens in The Matrix on the Nebuchadnezzar are not running Linux but proprietary hardware running proprietary firmware/software -

I worked for AMX at the time but was not involved with the movie.

As a former mental patient, I find the use of the term "frontal lobotomy" offensive!
It should be replaced with (fuzzy butt-monkeys), ooops, (fuzzy (full moon)-monkeys).
Hmmmm, "Overboard" without the sex and bad language is ...
Kidnapping and enslaving a woman because she was unpleasant.
Yes, exactly the kind of thing that all children should learn!
I, for one, welcome our new pigeon overlords! 1) Raise pigeons 2) ??? 3) Profit!
I stuck the pin in my eye and now all the stars are blocked out!
So, by your logic, _The Lord of the Rings_ is not a trilogy either...
