Your problems aren't diesel related. You want a "sports" sedan? Take up kitesurfing. Cars are transportation, and the climate is frying, and all you wanna do is dance.

So your total objection on the engine is the EGR valve? Who's paying you?

The two commonest dumb driving statements are 1) More rubber on the road gives more traction and 2) Torque is more important than horsepower. I won't even tell you why. You know or you don't.

How about an honest cost-based model?

You haven't been following the official DHS and military nervousness about private drones with cameras. This is the perfect way to scan the sky for odd objects. Time to program in a flight path randomizer...

I agree. The best teachers are honest.

Oh, look! We're in a constitutional convention! Anyone been reading the Federalist Papers? I thought not. Stick to computers. Governance is too complicated for geeks with no social skills.

For the evidence-based geek mentality, the facts have been in for centuries: Democracy doesn't work. It's really the rule of the demagogue-influenced mob. I could go on, but facts is facts.

Minus the cost of the fancy new photography equipment, no doubt owned by a politically connected supplier. You DO know that a million people a year fail to pay, are photographed, and can't be contacted because of rules protecting officers of the court, parole officers, teachers, blah blah blah. So they're written off. And don't forget the cost of all those mailings, at $1/toll, unless you can pay through PayPal, and have your account hacked by the slugs at the DMV... and then it'll just happen to turn out to be too expensive, and the toll will have to be raised to handle the corruption.

You can do background screening, but you can't do future screening, because people can change their minds after they overhear some comments about how this new stealth fighter is going to be used to attack their homeland. Oh, you thought only Jews were into homeland passion?

My father was in charge of anti-sub warfare electronics development, and I can assure you the military has access to, and uses, bleeding-edge technology regularly. They just don't tell you.

What a crapheaded post! You gleefully ignore all the support you get from the government, but complain about paying taxes. Just shut up.

Can't believe the level of chauvinistic stupidity here. You think there aren't any containers with nukes en route to San Diego or Miami? Are you SURE? Because if you miss your guess, radioactive fallout would cover the USA, dimwit. Look at the prevailing winds. Have you noticed that storms in San Diego tend northeast? You do NOT want to bluster around these days. China might be storing bombs IN San Diego. They control a lot of property there, and lead for shielding is cheap. As for Israel, they seriously do not want any war there at all. They're strong, but a tiny area, and there are many enemies. STOP thinking bombs and missiles. They're last century. Think power lines, diseases, panic. supply lines for food, etcetera. You saw the way the USA came apart after 9/11. You think we're any psychologically stronger with no enemy in sight, just a cloud of nukedust coming? As the man said, we'd be surfing a wave of fear pee.

In "Conspiracy as Government" Julian Assange says his intent is to slow down and confuse the conspirators, so their grip on the population is lessened. Sounds like he's triggered an absolute firestorm of stupidly repetitive documents flying around, confusing the Department of Homeland Security. Being retired, I read the whole thing, which can be summed up as "Be more careful with data, DAMMIT!!" Mission Accomplished, Julian! Hope you survive!

Randish burps...
