    "Nope. Should be Jobs's. The whole 'leave the last S off if the last letter in the name is S' is not correct. The extra S should always be there." whoops yes, should have the extra s as it's possessive.

    damn straight. (but no, matrix long coat black jeans) but seriously the trend in slashdot of "blame the users" is wrong and needs to be fixed, i'm the first one to joke that all users are fucktards, that still does not change the software needs to be altered to let those fucktards be able to use it, and incidentally that software will be faster and easier to use for everyone.

  22. Re:"hopefully copfree run" on VW Beetle Fitted with a Jet Engine · · Score: 3, Interesting

    "In the 1960s John Dodd of Kent, England put a Merlin engine (some say it actually was a Rover built Rolls-Royce Meteor, which was a de-tuned Merlin without superchargers and with steel components replacing some aluminium ones) in a car called "The Beast". Originally it had a grille from a Rolls Royce, but after complaints from them he had to change it. According to his own account he once drove by a Porsche driver on the autobahn who then called Rolls Royce asking about their "new model". The Beast was once listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the world's most powerful road car. The engine came from a Boulton Paul Balliol training aircraft which would give 1,262 hp (941 kW) at 8,500 feet (2,600 m). No supercharger was fitted to the engine in car so it "only" delivered about 850 hp (630 kW). The chassis was custom made with a fibreglass body and used a General Motors TH400 automatic transmission.
