    Amen

  2. Re:Put the damn thing in neutral! on Toyotas Suddenly Accelerate; Owners Up In Arms · · Score: 1

    I drive an Audi and you dont need to wait for for the gas to be cut, the moment you hit the brake pedal, the gas is cut to around 1200/1500 RPM - i think it doesnt cut to idle so it can maintain more vacuum to the servo. I found it when i bought it and was trying to do that maneuver where you brake with you heel and accelerate with the tip of the foot to keep the rev (yes, its a manual) - impossible to do in vw/audi :(

  7. Re:You build it, one is born every minute to buy i on New 1 Kilowatt PSU - Too Much Power? · · Score: 1

    i have a Antec 480 and it sucks, 3.3v rail is always around 3.1 and sometimes it sinks to 3.0v and then shuts down. I also had a Enermax and was not too great either. When comes to PSU brand defenitely does not mean quality

  8. Re:Zero Sum Game and Education on USA to Pass Science Crown to China · · Score: 1

    I was indeed referring to GDP per capita, i think its much more significative than total GDP. You can have the highest total GDP and yet the worst living condition in the world (statistics allow that)

  9. Re:Zero Sum Game and Education on USA to Pass Science Crown to China · · Score: 2, Informative

    USA number one in freedom, ROFLMAO

    GDP; last time i saw Luxembourg was number one and number two was Norway.

    So what else are USA number one besides arrogance ?

  10. Re:People are still having sex on ESRB Revokes San Andreas Rating · · Score: 1


    everything is cyclic :)

    that is why i lost my faith in humanity, we can have computers, space stations and nuclear power but people behaviors are always the same.

    I live in Portugal, and here, the last time that people where allowed to think about sex was during the Arab ocupation. After the conquest by the Cristians (about 1000 dc) everything except God and the bible was banned. We had inquisition here. Still today people here are very conservative about sex (compairing with the rest of Europe, not USA of course).

    Just like in the dark ages: you can have public executions and torture sessions but you cant even _think_ about sex.

    history repeats itself...

  14. Re:There it is..No, there it is! on Biological Activity on Mars · · Score: 1

    if life was found on Mars the last thing i would do is a manned mission, the risk of contamination would be too great

    i think that noone would want that the austronauts bring back some kind of unknown bacteria that is impossible to have defenses against ( would that be classified as a WMD ? )

  16. Re:I'm still tired and coffee'd up to my eyeballs! on Daylight Savings Change Proposed · · Score: 3, Informative

    from www.alertnet.org : "The committee voted down, 39 to 12, a separate amendment to require the federal government to find a way to cut U.S. oil demand by 1 million barrels a day by 2013. The amendment offered by Democrat Henry Waxman of California aimed to reduce imports of crude oil.

    Lawmakers with automakers in their districts led the fight to defeat Waxman's proposal, arguing it was backdoor way to require U.S. mini-vans, sport utility vehicles and pick-up trucks to improve their fuel efficiency."

    well, reading and posting on /. since firefox 0.8 (i think), before that was with mozilla and before, with netscape, so i guess i never saw slashdot how it was meant to be...

  22. Re:what respect on The Indirect Case For Life On Mars · · Score: 1


    in case you didnt know, your great and noble existence started with a single cell. Now imagine if i didnt respected that cell and i just squashed it, now it would be impossible for us to share your great and iluminated views about life and ecosystems.

    well, virus have advantages that we dont share with them, we can NOT cristalize if the environment is adverse, we can only DIE

    you think that your view reveals respect and concern for human life, you are WRONG. it only reveals despise for life

    and that is why humans will need another planet to live in the first place , because we dont respect the "lower" lifeforms
