    It's been tried before. Traction control is fine as far as it gets you, it's no substitute for lockers when you have to put down power. Traction control stops slip by cutting power, which is great when you're cornering, but defeats the purpose when pulling a load.

    At best, consoles catch up with PCs for a split second on their release.

    As you say 'Most PCs today can't...' but some can. The new XBONE will match a state of the art PC of a year ago, maybe.

    What do you think the first .com was? Valuations are back to insanity. People don't even talk of PE ratios, they talk of P:Gross ratios or P:Burnrate ratios.

    The Chinese are trying desperately to get money out of China. All the recent Chinese investment in US and CA real estate is because of the Chinese bubble. The American real estate bubble was felt internationally. So will the Chinese real estate/stock bubble.

    When did Buckley deny a holocaust? Chomsky is not in the same league as Buckley. Chomsky is a propagandist who uses his credibility as a linguist to speak of things he knows nothing about. More like Shockley.

    I've seen many an AWD vehicle stuck with half the vehicle body in the water. Needing a serious 4x4 vehicle to pull it to safety.

    The key on steep slippery slopes (like boat ramps) is locking diffs. At very least the center diff, preferably center and rear.

    Troll hunter is in Norwegian. There are about three people in the USA that speak Norwegian. Yet it's watchable, subtitles mostly optional (unless you need to know; it's christian blood being used to bait traps, the one that got ate was secretly a god botherer etc), and is likely making as much off Netflix as it did in the theater in Norway.

    The frogs weren't bitching when froggish was everybodies second language and the language of science. Now the shoe is on the other foot, I think Netflix should just ignore them, perhaps move their servers out of France.

    If they ultimately lose in court, serve up content from Quebec and Louisiana, in very bad French. Especially children's programming. Get a generation of frogs speaking Cajun.

    We should get some Cajuns to make content for France as well. Perhaps attempt to teach the French to cook, they will love that.

    Freight cars are mostly leased in the USA. Railroads lease cars back and forth for flexibility.

    It's an old system, the regular railroads might get pissed if you rented half their rolling stock out from under them, but it would be legal.
