Assuming the numbers are accurate (a big assumption here) all this turns out to be is a big popularity contest. Those have their uses, but none of them are to identify which of something is better. Confounding this further is the very idea of one language being better than another. ( ok, except VB:P ) The simple truth is that programming languages normally come about to fill a niche. Naturally, they are better in that niche.
In the context of the "web" would you argue C or PHP is better? PHP I would wager (excepting truly specific instances, and this whole thing is about generalizing anyways, so that doesn't apply). But you most certainly wouldn't think the same when it comes to systems programming.
Wake me up (so I can wake myself from the nightmare) when replacements for tools such as bash and fdisk are written in PHP.
I pick on PHP, only because it's a good example of this. While I do personally dislike, detest, and disrespect it - that's not my point here.
Well, nowhere did I state that the signal was sent out of state. You assumed I meant an omni-directional transmitter. As NormalVisual here states, this isn't the case - and even so you STILL get nailed for it.
Oh yes. However, said suspect has done nothing but say "I am right, you are wrong" (ok, so that's a paraphrasing) and the nickname is a "Lunix freak" - unless by some weird chance we are talking about the experimental commodore OS, is a derogatory stab at Linux.
So you are saying that I can build an insanely powerful transmission system on any frequency I want, if my goal is to communicate with the guy across town?
If I remember right, the car in question is die-by-wire. It also interprets you dropping it into neutral while applying acceleration as an accident... and doesn't do what you would expect it to.
I love how people love their phones so much. Something happens, and it's a priority.
Yea, I use my phone while driving. Then again, I've also broken a phone against my dashboard reacting to someone cutting me off without warning or turn signal.
My car's control lever is in just the right spot. When I'm cruising, my middle finger likes to rest right on the lever. Just a quick pull to me to pause, up to resume or speed up, down to slow or set.

Er, no. but the vast majority of people who have problems just deal with it. Most don't go whining on the forum.
This balances out with the small percentage of people who go and lie about it.
Might want to consult a doctor. Your partner probably has something like sleep apnea or something even more serious.
I would wager that the false positive reports balance with the false negatives. (ie, your trolls vs the unreported angry people)
Sony shoots one foot while trying to shoot the other...
I don't really have much to add that doesn't get beaten-to-death any other time Sony is brought up.
You haven't seen the trolls running around here talking about "lunix" and bashing (and misspelling) Linus Torvalds? They were going crazy for a while.
Wow, way to rephrase exactly what I just got done saying!
Haha, you're young (and a douchebag).
Yes, I will take the karma for that.
I'm also curious as to what the point is.

Nope. Why? Because the FCC says so.
Medusa or basilisk?
I'm not sure which fits more.
... or at least won't remember it.
On the positive side, it's also delicious!
You, by both your behavior here today, and your account name, is to troll.
Guys, stop feeding the troll.
So, the point of these are to maim and/or kill people?
No.
A guns entire purpose is to accelerate a projectile. What the purpose of this acceleration is rests entirely upon the user.
Jeez. You don't think the same way about knives do you? Sharp objects? How about rockets? Those do a lot more than make things explode.
Erm... there's a significant increase. Only barely, but still significant.
Was that so hard? You read the words, and you understand what they mean.
... now that I think of it, it would be smarter to obey the neutral command and just apply a governor to the RPM so you don't blow the engine.
If I remember right, the car in question is die-by-wire. It also interprets you dropping it into neutral while applying acceleration as an accident... and doesn't do what you would expect it to.

Native speakers learn what they hear, and are force-fed (usually unwillingly) the rules later.
Non-native speakers (usually) learn from a book or teacher that _starts_ with that groundwork.
Mine does. It is very gentle. A quick tap bucks the RPM about 50-100 netting in MAYBE 2-3 mph of change.
If you hold it down, it gets a bit more dramatic - about 2 or 3 mph/s acceleration.
My car's control lever is in just the right spot. When I'm cruising, my middle finger likes to rest right on the lever. Just a quick pull to me to pause, up to resume or speed up, down to slow or set.
No need to tap my brake :)
(that said, I don't have a clutch, but yea.)
Indeed.
My cruise won't reenable at speeds below 35mph.
It also won't gun it above 4.5k RPM to accelerate on cruise, and my redline is at 5.8.
I would feel a lot safer if cars still had fuel cuts (ie, choke).
My first response to an accident would be to yank the cut.
Die by wire all the way, these days.
Unless a particular behavior is part of a trigger, and this behavior is more prevalent with older drivers.
Example: my car transmission behaves a little oddly if you drive it from a stop very gently, like most older drivers do.
I, however, have it revving up to 4k at least. It behaves normally.
