There will be drug sniffing dogs only. They only care about those couple of joints you have in your pocket. None of this is about security.
I said overpowered merely because it is overpowered for normal driving. The highest HP it has been measured at is 505HP as measured at all four wheels as it is an AWD car. In theory, I should be getting about 750HP measured at the wheels with the hardware that I have installed but I am not there yet as I am having an odd fuel pressure drop at 6 thousand RPMs.
You said water was bad for the engine. I said it was not. The article you linked does not disprove what I am saying even if the author is not convinced water injection is an overall positive. I have a water/alcohol injection system that I was running water only in. The water gets injected at the intake manifold which means that the fuel lines and such never see any water. It gets turned into vapor in the combustion chamber and leaves out the exhaust. The water has no chance to sit there and cause problems.
Concerning the nitrogen in the tires, I am not there yet. I am still trying to get the engine working at full capacity but I will eventually be there.
Please do not be so combative. It engenders combative responses which reduces the chance of useful communication.
What company do you work for? I am reasonably competent and better than average at solving problems. I am looking to change my status quo and might be interested in applying.:)
You are right on about everything except the term explosion. Explosions are a much more energetic reaction than mere burning. When burning, what pushes the piston down is the expansion of air as it heats up. In an explosion, what pushes the piston down is the force of the explosion.
Explosions are generally non-controllable in their characteristics. Is the force pushing sideways? Downwards? What does the shock front look like? Is it clean and continuous or is it ragged and semi-randomly shaped? This damages combustion chambers.
A burn implies a nice smooth chemical reaction which results only in heat and some chemical byproducts. This does no damage to a properly designed combustion chamber.:)
Hm. Actually...
2) Knocking = Pinging = Detonation which is caused by multiple shock fronts colliding
is 99% correct. Detonation is an explosion. Small detonations can cause ping as well as multiple shock fronts colliding can cause ping. Ping does equal knock and knock can be caused by detonation or multiple shock fronts colliding.
Be aware that in an apprenticeship metaphor, I am at best, a journeyman in all of this. I do have lots of practical experience as I have a project car that I have blown the engine on about 5 times so far.:( Yeah, it gets expensive real fast.
Yes, well... it is hard to motivate someone to take care of someone they do not care about. I am exceedingly generous when my funds are adequate. I am exceedingly stingy when my funds are not adequate. People who I care about are always well taken care of.
What does that mean concerning the concept of larger societies than just family/friends/tribe/etc? I am unsure... but, I did say that some amount of socialism is necessary at the state level to counter balance how psychopathic humans can be.

Is E85 Dead Now?
·
· Score: 1
Of course, I'd like a few more gallons anyway; why is my Corolla only 11 gallons to begin with?
I would like a larger tank too. It seems that most vehicles have gas tanks that provide a driving range of about 300 miles of rural (not highway not city) type driving. I do not know why.
No. As another poster previously noted, the only way to even get close to the efficiencies of normal gasoline, you would have to drive at wide open throttle aka WOT with E85.
The ONLY advantage to E85 is at WOT in a turbocharged or high compression engine, and most people don't spend much time at WOT.
You are exactly correct. I have a turbo charged vehicle that runs E85. I see significantly reduced gas mileage at cruise compared to normal gasoline. At WOT (Wide Open Throttle) though... get ready to clean out your underwear (because of excitement over the new-found efficiency? lol).:)
That it's really fucking annoying when many of the country's engines are being rotted away from the inside-out up by the water-loving ethanol that corn lobbyists demanded be put into gasoline?
What is exactly wrong with water? Before I ran E85 in my overpowered turbo-charged engine, I injected water. The waters cools down the combustion chamber so that I can run at higher pressures which means more power for the same amount of fuel.
The detonation you get from too low of octane (also too advanced ignition) might be better described as premature detonation or uneven detonation. Instead of a nice explosion starting at the spark plug and expanding evenly through the combustion chamber you get spontaneous detonations in different parts of the combustion chamber, often early detonations as well.
The first sentence (and prior discussion of backfiring) showed such a clear understanding of combustion that I was floored by the second sentence. I could have sworn you understood clearly (CAPTCHA is crystals rofl).
Ideally speaking, what happens inside the cylinder during combustion is that the spark plug ignites the air fuel mixture so that it BURNS very quickly and hopefully completely. Any explosions are bad and create massive pressures in the combustion chamber. If the entire mixture in the combustion chamber/cylinder explodes, your rod holding your piston gets violently shoved through your engine block. If only a small portion of the mixtures explodes, you get a nice little pinging sound at some frequency which I forgot (2500hz?). Get enough of those pings and your engine is damaged.
TL;DR explosions are bad. burning is the order of the day.
I despise socialism. In theory, I am a die-hard capitalist. If you can not provide for yourself and your family, the universe has a solution: death (and probably lots of suffering before you get there)
I see socialism as a band-aid (TM?) for corrupted capitalism. Give everyone an equal chance and do not stack the cards or otherwise cheat and everything would be perfect. Not gonna happen though... humans are nasty evil creatures that when they find themselves on top, do everything they can (lie, cheat, steal, kill entire populations, etc) just to keep their coveted position.
Which means some amount of socialism needs to be engaged in.
I like income inequality. I have no desire to live with all of you other humans, but since I have to, I should see benefits similar to what I would achieve on my own.
If I were a farmer, my planning would be better than most (but not all) other farmer's planning. I would notice and record patterns and I would be far more productive than average. This would accrue to me greater benefits than the average person would get. More food, which would bring in more females, which would allow me to create and support more children, etc etc.
My skills have constantly been proven to be more superior than average. What reason would I have to work in an artificial environment that gives me the same amount as everyone else gets? My skills allow me to slack off more than others while seeming more productive.
Socialism does not work. I am proud that America is not socialist. It is not shameful to me that Americans let people starve and die because they are unable to provide for themselves.
It IS shameful to me that Americans (actually this part is true in all countries) force people to starve and die to improve their profit margins. Stacking the deck is pure evil. Stealing is less evil and very complicated but it is generally evil. That is what we have a lot of now. Stacked decks and thieving assholes. Socialism is a stacked deck too but in theory, should keep people from dying due to theft and stacked decks.
The funny thing is, all of that IS actually possible IF the camera records the data. Zooming in on photos can reveal details you did not notice when the picture was shown at normal detail levels... however
I am not aware of any consumer or professional grade cameras that are capable of recording that much information in a single frame.
At two years old, you didn't have the motor skill to control a keyboard or a mouse, much less read or write.
I am not entirely certain that is true about the motor skills. I was riding a bicycle without training wheels at two (but still in diapers. Heh). I was also able to diagnose a friends pedal car (camaro?) at two years of age. I reasoned out how the device was provided motive power, flipped it over, and put the chain back on its tracks.
The reading and writing would be very amazing. I am certain I was not even close to writing (but possibly close to reading) at that age.
Wrong forum?! WTF? There are lots of camera nerds here. This may not be the best forum for his question but I have learned a lot more from the answers and positive attitudes here than I would in a week of random web searches on the subject.
Meh, this was the right place for this. Go be elitist somewhere else.
As I stated, the U.S. Constitution is just one of the steps. There were many previous steps that happened before America was even a concept. Another heavyweight example is the Magna Carta.
Why are the founders' opinions so important? Why do we spend so much time, effort and money arguing about what some people thought about something in the past rather than deciding what is the correct decision for today, in our society?
Then you do not understand the processes that are going on in the world today. The Constitution is an absolutely revolutionary document that flies in the face of thousands (tens of thousands?) of years of oppression by the ruling class. The ruling class is still trying to put that genie back in the bottle but the U.S. Constitution contains wording that makes that VERY difficult.
The world would be a lot better of a place to live if the U.S. Constitution was actually respected and used as the basis of law in _any_ country. It is the Holy Grail to the billions of people whose lives have been cut short at the whims of those who abuse power.
No, the U.S. Constitution is not the ultimate end goal but you can see that goal quite clearly within that document. Freedom for _everyone_ while trying to create a system of "regulation" or government to ensure and protect that freedom (from enemies foreign and domestic, heh).
It's a non binding vote. A straw poll. It's already totally and completely meaningless.
It was not meaningless. Michele Bachmann dropped out of the race. Another and more interesting thing happened too:
Ron Paul is confirmed as a viable candidate to vote for. Voting for _anyone_ else is voting for "Business as Usual".
I make it a point to never vote against someone. I vote for who I want to win... except in 2000. I voted for Gore because he was the only one who I felt who had a chance against Bush. I will be voting for Ron Paul as a vote against the currently corrupted system. I see Ron Paul as a last ditch effort against a violent revolution. Despite the fact that Ron Paul seems batshit crazy to me, I am going to vote for him now.
This "straw poll" was far more important than you think. I would never have considered voting for Ron Paul without it.
Let's try changing a few words around to illustrate a flaw.
You said,
The American public are lazy slugs and deserve to suffer a lot more than they already do. If they haven't suffered enough to collectively wake up, add more suffering.
Let's change it to, "The immigrants are lazy slugs and deserve to suffer a lot more than they already do. If they haven't suffered enough to collectively wake up, add more suffering."
What do you think? Interesting?
IMHO, people do not deserve to be abused unless they happen to abuse others. Even then, the abuse should be encoded in law (criminal law), not haphazardly applied.
Agreed again, but note that the bill passed the Senate 86-13 and it passed the House 283-136, both of which are over the 2/3rds threshold for overriding a Presidential veto. Therefore a veto would not have been likely to prevent the bill from becoming law; it would simply have given Republicans a fresh club to beat the President with ("vetoed critical funding for Our Troops", "soft on terrorism", yada yada). Given that, I think Obama decided to cut his losses.
What. The. Fuck. Are you serious? Seriously?
"Yeah, I will go ahead and sign this law despite the fact that parts of it are absolutely terrible. I will do it so that my political opponents will not have any ammunition (from the reasonable parts of the bill) to use against me."
Really? If things are clearly this bad, it is time to dissolve it all and start over. Hopefully with the same principles such as the inalienable right to self determination (Freedom!).
The only problem is, there ARE people named Bobby Tables. "Filtering" is the wrong approach, the program must be able to handle any input in a safe manner, no matter how scary it looks like.
If I am understanding your argument correctly, you are stating that a program must try to make sense of any input. I strenuously disagree.
A program should drop/ignore (filter) all data that does not conform to the desired input protocols or data structuring. The issue that you appear to be arguing against is that a person can not be named Bobby Tables. That is plain silly. The issue is the semi colon, not the rest of the name. No legitimate name has a semi-colon in it (currently). If a semi colon is a desired attribute that you would like to save then you either have to change SQL or simply escape the dangerous bits.
Trying to make sense of all inputs is insane. When you type something nonsensical at the command line, what is the result? The result is a message stating that the command could not be acted upon. What would happen if the interpreter was forced to act on the nonsensical command (which is essentially what you appear to be arguing for)? Undefined behavior is the result. This is where exploits happen.
TL;DR - Drop all inputs that do not match the desired format.
and once enough assistants had been trained the German engineers vanished.

Jesus hung out with prostitutes and thieves. His credit score would be very low in this system. If averages are all that count, a lot of babies will be thrown out with this bathwater.:(
I think you already know the answer to your philosophical question. All of society is about pressuring people to conform to standard behaviors. This just adds a financial crowbar to beat you with.
Measuring what is going on is incredibly important. Something more than just an impression is needed to get a grasp of what is exactly going on. Having numbers to work with allows you to see beyond your own horizon.
There are two major problems that confront someone when trying to measure something. What exactly needs to be measured to give meaning to the numbers and how to interpret and understand those numbers.
The big problem with metrics is that people want them so they don't have to think. The world has not been defined so clearly that this is possible. Using metrics blindly is only marginally better than random chance for making decisions and is frequently extremely counter productive.
