"Also, how the fuck did that fuckhead spammer BillTheEngineer get to post zillions of copies of his spam, all at 16:04, while us regular users have to wait 5 minutes?"

A vulnerability in Slashdot's beta code that I fond and sold for $250. Fuck responsible disclosure, you force this shit upon us, we force some shit right back.

This vulnerability is also present in the last released version of slashcode, so it will work on other sites.

Gotta thank the SoyentNews crew for making that VM. Made my bughunting life so much easier.

"That someone thought making a cash register run WindowsXP was a good idea scares me, though."

I've had no problems with the four XP-based machines I've used as POS systems.

Never needed to reboot, hardware issues got left to me to fix since I typically lived right around the corner so could grab a spare piece of XP-compatible hardware and toss it in and be back in business within a smoke break.

"Or it could be be you know more about suspension setups then Honda, who won the Indy 500 yesterday."

Considering it's all turns in one direction, uh, no. Honda still knows jack shit about suspension setups. Their FIT is top-heavy and will roll on a whim. Their old 4x4 WAGON had one of the most horrible suspensions I've ever dealt with. The old CRX was like trying to ride a fixie on a garden gravel road. Even their motorcycles (like the older shadow 500) had shit suspensions and shocks.

If you need a negative camber for stability and you're not on a race track, you've fucked up design somewhere.

I've been working on vehicles for roughly 15 years and I've got roughly 400+K miles flawless driving record. The idiots with cambered tires tend to perform very poorly on drag race strips and drifting tracks, and lose control because of the reduced contact between the road and tires. It's the dumbest thing to do and the PROPER way to alleviate this is an a-frame sway bar with MacPherson (or similar) struts attached.
