  1. Re:Drive By Wire not really the problem on Toyota Pedal Issue Highlights Move To Electronics · · Score: 1

    Just need to solve hills where the driver may need throttle and brake simultaneously to start moving, and it should work.

    You see, this is why european cars are designed with a handbrake in the middle, and why most of them are NOT automatics. You just don't get as much control with an auto as you do with manual. Hell if these cars were manuals all they would have had to do was to push the clutch in, hey ho you're now no longer accelerating. Stupid 'merkins not knowing how to drive manuals. FTS

  2. Re:Cheaper to use online printing service. on PC Photo Printers Challenge Pros · · Score: 1

    you see how out of proportion those figures it increases by a factor of 300% for approxiamtely a 45% rise in printable area. A survey found on average that to print an 8x10 was between £7.00 and £9.99, this translates to roughly $14-$20 now tell me how many of those it would take to make you buy an epson... This was a UK based survey so I am not an expert on US street printing prices, but i would print a lot of larger photos as my wife is an aspiring amateur photographer.(takes sickeningly good photos compared to me and I have been practising for 12yrs... BITCH!)

  3. Re:The Right Combination? on PC Photo Printers Challenge Pros · · Score: 5, Informative

    having actually purchased the magazine and read the article it was really informative and well written.

    The main point of it was to state that it is cheaper to produce large 8*10 prints (A4) at home than on the high street and the winner for quality and light fastness was the epson r800 which i am going to buy after christmas. They have published images of the prints on different papers and different inks from the manufacturers, the inkjets that used ultrachrome inks came out on top, the epson r800 and the HP's that used their next generation ink showed no fading after 3months in direct light behind glass (taped face out against a window)

    I was impressed and would recommend buiying it, even just for the cover DVD which ACTIVELY promotes using linux as it includes the latest Suse distro.
