the spinning tires is precisely why it's fun. I had an '04 Subaru WRX which put 227 hp, it was a blast to drive in the snow. It only had all season tires, so it was pretty easy to get it sideways. my 09 WRX puts out 260 hp, and with real snow tires on all 4 corners it's awesome in the snow. I'm sure I could get by with less horsepower, but i don't want to.
Try driving in the north east with an under powered car, it's frustrating at best, lethal at worst.
When someone deliberately misunderstands and misrepresents the truth, it just makes them look unreliable and stupid. Do you really want to be the crazy guy ranting on the corner?
And Romney believes that airplane windows should open.
Works both ways...
Anything which mentions 'running as admin' clearly exists in a post-XP universe, because otherwise there aren't other users, so is inherently poorly-designed. Unless it came out in that microscopic window where XP was first released and it was quickly and poorly updated, no, that's inexcusable.

post xp? haven't you whippersnappers ever heard of Windows NT? there were ordinary users & administrators there.
now get off my lawn!
I remember a bond trader telling me about a machine that was designed to allow an individual to sign multiple bonds at the same time. Apparently, all the bonds issued needed to be signed by one person (presumably the treasurer of the company issuing said bonds)
This device had a bunch of pens attached to it. He manipulated one, and his signature was replicated on a bunch of bonds at once.
Just hard-wire the garage door opener remote into your car. Most of the remotes use a 12 volt battery anyway. I bought a $2.00 switch from radio shack, hid the donor remote in the overhead console and installed the switch there too.
Because of madoff, thousands will suffer through the last years of their lives living from social security check to check, will not have access to the medications they need or the mobility required to live a healthy senior life.
Madoff was evil, but this is nonsensical. The people he stole from were rich, and even losing fortunes in Madoff's scams and the stock markets, still have more than enough money for their personal needs.
How do you know the finances of everyone who invested with Madoff? Just because people aren't living in their mothers basement eating ramen noodles, doesn't make them rich.
Sure, his high profile clients were rich. Hollywood types, doctors, lawyers. but there were lots of ordinary people who had their retirement funds with him and lost everything.
it's disingenuous to excuse all of his clients as fat-cats that could afford to lose millions.
I suppose there *is* the slight possibility that someone just appended the "Visit www.itsbetterwithwindows.com to find out more" to the uk asus website.
I didn't find that link on the global website. wouldn't they want the whole world to experience windows? or perhaps they just want to foist it on the poor brits?
My wife has a garmin gps that has a sd slot in it. This allows you to use the 4" screen to view pictures.
Wouldn't it be nice if it would timestamp pictures that it found on the card once it was inserted. (after a user prompt, of course)
I had an old steam powered answering machine back in the '80s. It had a 'toll saver' feature that it would answer on 4 rings if there was a message and 6 if not.
punch in a dtmf code during playback of the outgoing message and it would play back all the messages left.
back in the very early 90's We moved into the first 7 world trade center. There was no heat in that building, it was air conditioned 365 days a year.
People and computers heated all the floors. Unoccupied floors were damn cold in winter, i can tell you.
If it used ink-jet technology, the manufacturer had everything to gain. like disposable razor blades, the manufacturers make most, if not all of their money on ink.
If you no longer use the printer, you have no more need for their ink.
If someone slipped in a virus into some OSS program (especially easy if they distribute it as a binary), how long, if ever, would it be before anyone caught it?
And making it illegal for me to possess this stuff is not going to save anyone's life. perhaps you missed the parts where i said i disagreed with this law.
What if it's video that I taped off of the news from a surveillance camera showing a clerk getting shot? Why is that okay? it's okay, because the news is broadcast and you taped it off of a tv. (presumed innocent, remember?) It's a different story if you're carrying a dv tape of someone getting raped. that puts you a little closer to the crime. if there was one.
Suppose you stumble upon a tape in the desert, you pop it in the vcr and see that it's of a bunch of guys gang-raping a girl. She's getting beat up, and blood is drawn. What do you assume? Is it makeup? is it real blood? does she want to be there?
Then I suppose you'd have to go with the presumption of innocence. That was easy!:) Right. And the guy smashing the window on a car "forgot his keys", and just needs to take the radio to be "repaired"
As I said before, I'm not agreeing with the law, and I don't think that "scouring the internet" for violent porn to prosecute people is a good use of time either.
If you had a video of someone being beheaded, would you assume it's fake, or, that the victim was consenting? In a similar vein, if you've got video of violent porn, how does one tell if the person being raped is consenting?
They can go nuts and investigate, then. I have no problem with them chasing down leads, but they might spend years just chasing down every violent scene in Die Hard II. I'm not trying to be snarky - just pointing out that making a work of fiction illegal is pure silliness. It's obvious that Die Hard II commercial motion picture, and easy to verify. Not every work of fiction is as easy to identify.
Again, I disagree with the law, and I don't think it should be illegal to possess fictional work. But if the work of fiction in your possession depicts a violent crime, I think you ought to be able to verify that it is indeed fiction. Or you may find yourself with some explaining to do.
While I totally disagree with the law, i would imagine it's proponents would state that there is no real way to tell if the participants are indeed consenting, if your only evidence is a photograph.
Do you embed a digitally signed release form with each photograph?
I would also like to think, that having a photograph or video of a crime being committed, and not having proof that the adults are consenting, would spur law enforcement to investigate. At least enough to make sure that the "victim" wasn't indeed, a victim.

They have mostly been living without one since the overthrow of communism there in '89. I just wonder what took them so long.
maybe they were waiting for the 2nd generation iPad...

No, he's serious. I too am in the same boat. (probably the same large, financial institution)

Often times, I see someone ride around 5 feet off my ass, in snow and ice @ 70mph.
So, did you win the Rally?
Remember when people got elected for what really matters?
Not really, .... no.

Er, with firefox, try File/new window. That should sort it.
Hmm. not sure i'd know if spam had my home address on it. I rarely read what lands in my spam folder anyway.
