  2. Re:New Complexities in Cars on Rube Goldberg and the Electrification of America · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Electronic stability control and ABS are hugely important to drive safely? Hahaha. Clearly nobody ever taught you how to drive. If you take a moment and learn how to properly threshold brake, your braking times will be LESS than with an ABS car if you just panic stop and hold the pedal to the floor. Traction control is just nanny shit...if you need a computer to cut throttle because you are losing traction obviously you can't drive for shit and should stay the fuck off of the road. This whole engineer cars to the lowest common denominator is a shame....do we really need all of these thoughtless morons commanding 4,000 pound hunks of plastic, metal and glass? NO.

    I disagree that it's this whole "what you're used to thing"..19 years old here, grew up listening to crap lossy, transcoded p2p audio (and radio before that). Then one day I got a turntable. Blew me away. Much, much better (that is, assuming the stylus and record are clean and free of defects). I know over time vinyls quality degrades but if you take proper care it's much better. I'll take a worn vinyl with pops over lossy audio ANY DAY OF THE WEEK.

    Clearly there is a compromise to be made.

    Yeah, the Bugatti Veyron is quite inefficient. 16 cylinders? 4 turbos? And all it has is 1001 hp? Whimpy. I've seen 6-cylinder M3's with one turbo pushing over 1000. :)

  8. Re:In the US no one wants to buy light cars on Efficiency? Think Racing Cars, Not Hybrids · · Score: 1

    Buying large cars is no solution to safety. Large vehicles have their own issues: their handling is terrible and the center gravity is quite high, thus they are prone to flipping.

    I'm happy with my '94 BMW 740iL. Low, heavy and big. Lots of torque, safe and handles relatively well. :)

  9. Re:Their traffic - shape it if you want on Legal Trouble For Multiple ISPs · · Score: 2, Insightful

    If they did that then a large number of customers would defect to another company who does *not* go through their packages. Capitalism works.

    Yes! I've been happily, fiendishly using IRC since about 2002 now. Its had its ups and downs. The scams? I don't see any scams on IRC, rofle. And spam?
