But... Ford's system IS Toyota based... they licensed the HSD system from Toyota.
In other words, mechanics are biased.
Its the old Holden (GM) vs Ford mentality, no matter how bad a car is they'll never admit that their favoured brand is bad whilst using any excuse to deride the competition.
Toyota tends to issue a recall over anything that might in some once in a million years scenario cause something to go wrong. This is why it looks like they issue a lot of recalls but the recalls are for minor issues like a seat adjustment rail. This is overwhelmingly a good thing as it shows Toyota doesn't want to take risks and preserve the reputation of their cars.
This kind of conservatism is perversive amongst Japanese companies though, they'd rather read "Honda issues another recall" than "17 people died from an ignition problem in Honda vehicles" in the papers.
Vista had its own Service Pack 2. Actually wasn't too bad. Have you been out of touch for a while?
It was called Windows 7.
Vista is a fine example of if you fuck up the release and fix it later, people will never consider it fixed. if MS makes the same mistake with Win 10 then it'll suffer the same fate as Vista and having two consecutive OS versions universally despised and ignored will not be good for MS.
If anyone is going to suffer catastrophically from the "release now, fix later" mentality, its Microsoft.
because of a bug that prevented the engine from shutting down even after the ignition key was put into the "off" position and removed.
I guess it's too difficult to leave the physical connections in place. They had to be replaced by shiny, just because.
Its a Land Rover, people buy them because they need the shiny to justify their inflated ego's. They aren't cars for people who want reliable, trouble free or sensible motoring.
I don't understand why guns always come up when non-Americans talk about America. I have lived here my entire 30 years, IN THE SOUTH, and have not seen a single gun in public except in the hands of a police officer. I own guns and most of my family do as well. But I've never seen them in public.
Mainly due to the number of gun-nuts that pop up on any discussion about Australia and prattle on about guns (and always using incorrect information). Their loudness and vitriol does give non-Americans a very negative view of the situation.
A "bill of rights" was described by your previous president, George W Bush as "just a piece of paper" and has been ignored without consequence many times before him.
Australia works on the premise that freedoms are not protected by paper, but people. We have our 5 fundamental freedoms (Speech, Association, Religion, Assembly and Movement) codified in the constitution but its still up to the High Court of Australia to rule on them and they do an overwhelmingly good job of it. If people stop defending freedom and rely on a piece of paper to do it for them, that piece of paper becomes as useful as those defending it.
No, seriously, libertarian types: why not Jamaica? There is no "Galt's Gulch" in the real world (we're sorry) but you could move to Jamaica. I can't figure out why they don't.
Seems its a giant scam for people who are silly enough to believe in libertarianism. Ironically, it's very free market of the scammers.
Now I've actually lived in places where you can almost literally get away with murder if you've got enough money. There are things that are accepted there that Libertarians will never be able to live with. I'm yet to find one that doesn't treat foreigners as second class citizens. In Thailand or the Philippines where I lived if you crossed the wrong local, you'd best get out of dodge before the day is out. Any argument between you and a local will result in the local winning. You get used to a two tier pricing system because "Farang (Thai: White/Western Foreigner) have more money". Sure I could ride a motorbike without a helmet if I wanted to, but the made up fines by the cops were a complete pain in the arse when they saw I wasn't Thai.
Libertarians wonder why I laugh uncontrollably when they talk about oppression and how it would be so much better if we didn't have these "nanny state" rules. I've lived in the opposite of a nanny state and their heads are in the clouds.
Point in short, in a land without rules, those with power make up their own. A libertarian paradise has the same probability of occurring as a real life Hogwarts.
Imagine a guy who gets off on driving for Uber Black in a Ferrari F40. They get crazy tips but what they're really doing it for is the awe of the passengers and to be treated like a freaky crazy rich dude for the people. What's that (or more luxurious angles: a Rolls-Royce guy) do to the job market?
A Ferrari F40 won't be permitted on Uber as it's a 2 door car. The same reason a Toyota 86 or Pug 208CC wont be permitted on Uber. Uber requires all cars to be 4 door minimum.
Yeah, right. This is something politicians never do when enacting new laws regarding economic conditions. See "Minimum Wage Laws" and the results of fewer jobs after increasing Min Wage.
Had a look, found your claims are complete bollocks.
All arguments claiming minimum wages increase unemployment are full of "might", "maybe" and "possibly" whilst the ones disputing this claim use more definitive language. The worst they can say is that any change "was not statistically significant".
UV isn't ionizing either. Neither are microwaves. Prolonged exposure to either is... not a really bright idea.
So please, let's leave off the cargo cult science babble about "cell phones don't emit ionizing radiation". They emit energy, and that energy goes somewere. Nor do we need a mechanism when we have an established result.
Fuck me.
Nebulous "energy" is at the centre of most quackery and cargo cult science.
"Energy" is not descriptive enough to be able to say whether something is a risk or not. You need to define what the energy is, what it does and how this affects us (or whatever the subject of your experiment is). So whether radiation is ionising or not is entirely relevant, especially when drawing conclusions about long term health effects.
Simply saying that "energy" goes "somewhere" is completely useless and only lets bad science like "mobile phones cause cancer" exist.
If you're an adult you only sound like a blithering idiot. English people are much more eloquent with their insults and dont need to rely on trying to shock people with haphazard displays of vulgarity.
Thankfully, I live in a country which, in theory, protects offensive speech.
if you bothered to keep up, he wasn't arrested for offensive speech, he was arrested for disobeying a lawful police instruction (you know that the powerpoints on these trains are locked, its not like he accidentally plugged it in). As far as I know, disobeying a lawful police instruction is illegal everywhere where there are laws and police.
Also if you bothered to watch any UK TV you'd notice how much more offensive language there is compared to American TV. Just look at how often the word "cock" gets dropped on Top Gear. The US has to censor the word "bugger" for crying out loud. As always, even the offensive language on UK TV is much more sophisticated than its contemporaries across the pond.
Seems your "protected" speech isn't as protected as ours. Toodles
That's what you get for being pissy with the police.
"Oh, I'm sorry sir/ma'am, I wasn't aware that this is strictly prohibited. No,it won't happen again. Thank you sir/ma'am.".... and continue your day like nothing happened. Not that hard, is it? But I guess this guy had to cause trouble. I bet he got what he deserved.
The whole thing could have been defused with a simple "OK" and unplugging of the device.
No need to even be polite, although that isn't a bad thing to do anyway.
We were called to Camden Road London Overground station on Friday 10 July to a report of a man becoming aggressive when challenged by a PCSO about his use of a plug socket onboard an Overground train.
While arrest may have been an overreaction, the guy was using a socket clearly marked not for public use and then seems to have become aggressive when asked to unplug his phone. Maybe he needs to look at his own behaviour as well.
Yep, I'll bet it unfolded something like this:
Hobby Bobby asked him to unplug his phone, instead of unplugging his phone he decided to give the PCSO some lip and it became a battle of egos after that.
This could have been easily avoided by not having an attitude. The problem wasn't using a mere 10 pence of electricity, rather the antisocial behaviour that followed being asked to unplug his phone.
Under the United States MUTCD, a turn facing a green arrow is a "protected" left turn. Pedestrians have a "don't cross" signal during this phase. A turn facing a green disk is considered a "permitted" left turn, where oncoming traffic has the right of way.
In all defensive driving courses, a driver is trained that there is no such thing as a "protected" turn and always watch out for pedestrians (or suicyclists) and assume they will enter the roadway without right of way.
You can never assume someone else is going to follow the rules.
In the credit card industry, a deadbeat is someone who has a credit card and doesn't use it (therefore not racking up interest or merchant service charges).
In short, he's a politician. I'm sure he'll manage.
The difference is Tsipras is Greek and in Greece.
The US is soft on its promise breaking politicians because by and large, everything keeps running as it was and there's no large scale disruption that affects everyone. Greece is not in this position with the level of austerity in Greece. Tsipras is not just fighting for his life politically, he's fighting for it literally. The Greek people wont hesitate to lynch him if they think it'll get them out of their current predicament, hell, they'll lynch him if they think he's not doing everything he can to get them out of their predicament. This is why Yanis Varoufakis (Tsipras' ex finance minister) got the hell out of dodge, he saw the writing on the wall.
Tsipras got elected because he promised to take a hard line against the EU on austerity. As unrealistic as this was it's what the Greek people wanted rather than another meek EU toady and it will turn out bad for Tsipras if he turns into one.
As a cyclist I'd like for motor vehicles to all have black boxes and to collect data. But that data should only be accessible to the police in the event of a crime an accident involving the car.
Be careful what you wish for.
As a motorist, cyclist one of the major reasons I have a dash cam. I've been cut off by a cyclist who never bothered to look behind them far too many times. The problem is that a cyclist will never admit to doing wrong and change their story when it's obvious that the motorists wont cop the blame (this is also why they're constantly campaigning to make motorists automatically at fault). In my city, cyclists are at fault in the majority of collisions.
Cities with good public transport are an oddity. Places like London, NYC and Tokyo with functioning and useful PT systems are outnumbered by all the LA's, Sydney's and Manila's of the world.
Chiming in from Perth, Western Australia I can say that driving my massively fuel efficient turbo (12L per 100 KM) which requires the highest grade of petrol (its modified) with insurance (its a 2 door sports car, so not cheap), parking, maintenance, depreciation and all costs less than taking the bus to work as well as taking 1/3 the time and the bus which stops near my house also stops near my work.
Above all this, the public transport system in my city is subsided. The ticket price that is more expensive than driving doesn't cover the whole service.
Depends - does the public transport system suck less than driving a car?
Considering that driving does not suck at all, that would be impossible.
Taking public transport is only free if your time is free. There is a bus that goes from near my house to near my work, the drive takes 15 minutes on a bad day, the bus takes 45 minutes on a good day.
That's a full hour more per day that I spend sitting on a bus rather than doing what I like.
However at the moment, I only take public transport to work when I feel the need to take a form of transport that is more expensive than driving my car (fuel (RON 98), parking, insurance, depreciation, maint and all). The $8.80 per day the bus will cost me is more than it costs to run my car to and from work.

But... Ford's system IS Toyota based... they licensed the HSD system from Toyota.

That's great! As soon as alllllll the richie richers leave, the entiiiiiire USA can be like Detroit! It's gonna be fucking awesome!!
But what about the Aussies? Can their immigration infrastructure handle hundreds (if not thousands) of immigrants who list their names as "John Galt"?
The same way the US will handle issuing hundreds (if not thousands) of passport application listing their names as "John Galt".
And the dismantlement they'll get when they arrive here and find we have things like laws and expect people to conduct themselves within their bounds.
This is an invite system, which means if you become applicable the government already knows a lot about you.
