it seems the iq of the average slashdotter on technical subjects is plummeting. all we have are a bunch of cliche regurgitating, pseudo political gadget freaks
I'm sure the first mover advantage enjoyed by mercedeez, audi, etc. translate into market share right?
OH NO WAIT!! IT DOESN'T!!
The vast majority of people are happy just driving around cheap, reliable, toyotas and hondas that meet their minimal transportation needs. The modders and street racers, also prefer these cars because they are well laid out and easy to modify. (ever try to mod a luxury car with the dearth of documentation? )
Professional racing uses specially constructed cars for their needs. So where does the luxury car fit into the car market? RIGHT! the social status market i.e. people with more money than sense, which incidentally is a good description of the windows vista market.
>> 3) "I'm not PROMOTING that we get out of the Middle East" Like your neighbor arbitrarily blowing up your car much?
Hmmmm which came first? the chicken hawk or the exploding egg?
oh right! the chicken hawk.
Why do you hate america? Do you really think this government is repressive? Why don't you go live in afghanistan then if you hate america so much! We're losing our freedoms because they hate it so much. Don't hate us for it, hate them
1) Doesn't everyone want world domination? 2) Caliphate? wtf? 3) "I'm not PROMOTING that we get out of the Middle East" <-- like arbitrarily renovating your neighbor's yard much?
although i agree with the general thrust of your post, i have to make a small correction. The only reason gandhi was successful, was world war 2. The british army was in shambles. Huge indian armies had been raised to defend the british colonies in india and africa. A growing nationalist struggle would only bloodily for the brits. The point is, it had nothing to do with British civilization, the brits were just too beaten after the war to care about anything more than putting britain back together.
I have no idea how segway plans to defend their ip about balancing on two wheels, i.e. if they have any. People have been doing two wheel balancing robots for a long time. I remember seeing a few two wheeled robots in a micromouse maze solving robot competition in the 90's. They were the fastest speed run robots around. Granted it wasn't designed to balance a human but the principle is the same. The benefit of these robots is obviously the turning radius and the speed of the turns themselves. Ball robots aren't that big a stretch but the problem has always been how to deal with gunk getting stuck to the robot, when the robot only has one wheel. On two wheel robots you can always readjust wheel spin rates to compensate for a damaged wheel.
especially the ideas about blasting to glass, anyone who disagrees with us. If brown people weren't so evil the white man wouldn't have such an onerous bombing burden:'(
HOW THE FUCK IS S.KOREA OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES?
It's at most a puppet govt of the U.S. and at the least a giant US military base. Going to various nations that are US military bases != leaving the united states. You are a moron.
It's fairly obvious they're doing what every new underclass does to get rich, thuggery. Think italians, irish, chinese, etc who launder their ill gotten gains through their children =) getting them more access and in turn a better future in a higher class. The problem is blacks are still getting busted far more often than every other seedy underclass mobster so they're not making any headway from generation to generation.;) The hispanics, and the chinese have already sped by them, so it's obvious there is some bias in the system =).
As for studying, getting good grades and heading for a life of white collar crime, they just aren't there yet. They need some seed money from the successful gangster generation to feed the next 'entrepreneurial' generation.;)
So umm..., yea, resuscitating the fact that white people enslaved them while they're still unsuccessful at joining the beautiful tapestry of corruption that keeps modern society alive is insulting. The only thing separating them from all the other successful immigrants was their previous enslavement. So it serves now to reinforce that they're forever doomed to be social pariahs. Untouchables if you will.
but you forget that your family has profited from their exploitation (assuming you come from slaveowning stock) and thus enjoy a place in a distinctly higher economic class. The only thing that has happened since the end of slavery, is the declaration that we will stop exploiting blacks. Not "oops! i'm sorry. Here's restitution for our crime, now let's let bygones be bygones'. Instead it's simply "i'll stop raping your women and standing on your neck now. Let's let bygones by bygones'
As far as I can tell black people have no ill will to non-racist poor whites. But upper class whites who have profited from slavery and rest on its benefits generations after the fact, debating whether or not there's too much affirmative action should feel ashamed. It's the least you can do to maintain your honor since restitution is so obviously out of the question. Right?
The vast majority of indian languages that have descended from the ancient sanskrit scripts use a purely phonetical alphabet and have done so for thousands of years. A few of the modern incarnations of oriental ideographic alphabets are also purely phonetical. The advantage of phonetic languages is the precise way every sound in the language can be expressed but the disadvantage is the inability to compactly refer to new phonemes as they are incorporated into the culture as a result of immigration. English took the roman script and started creating an endless series of edge cases of phonemes by combining the alphabet in phonetically meaningless ways. Decoding works something like this:
A grouping of letters has to be decoded into a phoneme by comparing it against the longest sequence of letter-combo phonemes in use. A tree search if you will. Once a leaf node is encountered the phoneme is decoded according to the local accent.
Now if the popular consciousness picks up on the pronunciation of a new phoneme (fashion, fad, etc) a new grouping is created by the dictionary authors and its uniqueness is added to the collective =D
a kart racer is the real winner at LeMans, just cause he got out there AND completed the race. while the supercars either ran out of gas half way through the race or just turned into huge fireballs all before reaching the finish line.

ah yes i forgot that incident when benjamin franklin's buggy was shot out of the sky by a terrorist with an rpg.

it makes no difference to you but it makes a difference to them.
bogus claims so that lazy feds can pretend they're doing work.
