Right on. Win9x, NT, and 2k all install happily on my machine with a Promise Ultra-66, and then take advantage of the hardware with drivers. When I try to install linux (any flavor) it's not easy at all. Sure they make different kernals, bootdisks, etc, but if they adapt so quickly, then why is it so difficult? Linux did not beat MS to the punch here... This is fictional. Give me some hard evidence to the contrary. Why then all those people with ka7-100's can run windows...hmm...
Haven't driven that model of subaru, but i have an A4 1.8t and other subaru's. All i can say is build/ride quality. There's a reason for paying higher prices, it's not always performance oriented. In this price range, it wouldn't even be a 1.8, it'd be the S4 with a 250bhp biturbo 2.8l v-6. Still not as fast as the one you quoted above, but...
1: (opinion, so don't scream) the audi is styled classier. it flows better. it's also what might be called a sleeper. you wouldn't expect it to have a twin turbo engine...but... 2: saftey. i remember that sub mention in c&d. the audi has head and side airbags. sub doesn't. (of course it is made to rally race, but i hate racing harnesses when i'm dressed for a night out) 3: that's a special subaru. the S4 isn't. audi dealers have them in stock.
All opinion of course. Some like German, some like Japan. I prefer the bavarian. Now, back to preparing for doomsday, EST. Let's save the car talk for a non-tech news/forum site.
West Virginia's educational system relies on a computer network called wvnet. When my sister tried to check her mail on West Virginia U's pop account, no dice. It appears wvnet has taken down all sites (universities, colleges) but their main portal. I'm not sure if this caution is so prudent. Unless all the techies stuck at work want the bandwidth for themselves to play massive quake areans...
and more data... (from other post) Impreza Coupe 2.5 RS 2-Dr 5-Speed Invoice = $17,686 Performance Data Acceleration (0-60 mph): 8.2 sec. Braking Distance (60-0 mph): 128 ft. Roadholding Index: 0.80 Base Number of Cylinders: 4 Base Engine Size: 2.5 liters Horsepower: 165 hp @ 5600 rpm Torque: 166 ft-lbs. @ 4000 rpm S4-Same specs as A4 2.8T, however, add a biturbo (that's 2 turbos) 250 bhp engine with about the same ft-lbs of torque, knock a few seconds off the 0-60 time and add quattro standard. (therego matching the 4wd of the sub) M3-Dream on, 250 bhp, handling superior to every car i've driven, and from its reviews, most ever car but another german, porsche. OK, no 4wd, and the impending nuclear winter impending with the *y2k crisis* it may not be the best. But the audi will still clean up, reguardless of subaru leaving their site up while audi erred on the side of caution and did not.
