    Put something in there about Obama or Romney. This is slashdot. If you look at my Karma it's terrible because I told people who believe in politics they are stupid. So, if you wan't someone to read an article on slashdot, make it political.

    I think you'd be in a lot of trouble if they knew you were getting on a computer some how. Did you steal one of the psychiatrists tablets? It's really to bad to see someone who knows so much about computers but utterly fails at psychology. You know, the thing that every person is born with? And you so blindly follow your 'leaders' it really is a big box but couldn’t you just try a little harder to think out side of it? I know, its a lot to ask. After all it is just SO much easier to fit in. And that must be you taking the easy route.

    Your right. I practice apathy, you are ignorant. Neither one gets anything done but at least I'm making that choice.

    Respectfully, if it was your referral to my post, I'm sorry but anyone engating in politics has not even teh smallest perception of how they fit in. You are given your choices. Either of the choices you are given fall well within the parameters of their program. Their program is wrong. Therefore cooperating is wrong. Voting is useless the outcome is still in their favor. You, and your voting will never change anything. not that it matters, but where does it ever say anywhere in history that the voters got credit for something a leader did? NOWHERE. The leaders take the credit. It's all a facet of fundamentally incorrect thinking.

    It only matters because you people give it credit that it does not deserve. You would be better off to be apathetic than to support politics by engagement.

    Wrong dill hole we can discuss evolution or creation or Muons and Hadrons but politics is sleezy humanism. The only importance it maintains in our society is what credit peole like YOU give it.

    Yeah, should be modded up, even if off topic. Same thing I said to a friend of mine. "But the Chevy Volt isn't all electric!" says he.

    Speaking of the cylinder shutdown technique; This techonology is in use, now in the US. My experience with it doesn't offer much in advantage. The computer management system is pretty complex. All cylinders have to be capable of this, as the computer must rotate 'service' cylinders in and out to keep all the pistons wearing at the same rate. They also must be managed to maintain cylinder temperature. It must be high for several reasons some including block warping and alignment stresses. All those problems for what appears to be a negligable gain. I have an 85 fiero with 120k on it. The 2.8 v6 it has gets about 32 miles to the gallon (at 55mph after it drops exponentially). This particular car that I speak of is a newer Impala. It gets 25. Whoopee. Yes the tech has been around a while, and they thought that computer management was the issue. Cadillac tried to address teh problem in the early 80's and it worked Ok. Dealerships were knows for disconnecting the solenoids responsible for operating the lifters because there was so much trouble with the computers. But now, they are still dealing with new issues. We all have to face it, ICE is an old technology and the only reason we haven't dropped it is because no one wants to stick their neck out on a new tech. It's called greed.

    Many of the problems associated with a heat engine operating a vehicle are not prolbems with electric. You don't require elastic busings at every corner to deal with expansion, and vibration. It's such a different platfrom that an electric vehicle really doesn't have much use as a ICE or vice versa. That is the problem with Detroit's approach to alternative energy methods. They just want an easy excuse to slap something straight into a former ICE platform. That way they can continue to use their existing technology. New alterntaive energy vehicles don't resemble ICE vehicles underneath the hood.

    Do NOT attempt to bolster Limbaugh's' already narcissistic ego by telling him how awesome he is. His head is already at a critical stage now. Any heavier and it may overload his already frail body. The good news is, as big as he is the fat should absorb some of the shock mitigating the worst of the damage.
