I'd go for reducing overall visual quality rather than the AI quality. Having good AI, and supposedly better gameplay as a result, should be at the top of the priority list. I'd go so far as to reduce the visual quality so much that the framerate is high and the game responsiveness is super smooth.

I recently enabled this. It works. My email account is more secure. You can also generate codes for off-grid use, such as when you have internet access but no cell phone coverage.

Yes, GPS is more accurate for distance traveled. The odometer reading is based on tire circumference, which varies with tire wear, temperature, and tire pressure. GPS's primary weakness is altitude, but it can still be used to get a far more accurate distance measurement than our odometers.

It's threads like this that make me glad I don't run Linux. Childish bickering in the Linux community is rampant.

The only way to get more reliable distance measurement is by GPS, so by all means go for it. However, it is easy to get a far more accurate fuel use number by using the actual volume of fuel you paid for, and it's the same for all vehicles since we all use the same calibrated pumps. Ideally, one wouldn't rely on any of the onboard instruments to calculate these numbers, but we're pretty sure the odometers aren't completely fraked up. I can't say the same about the fuel flow meter.

Not going to happen unless it's legislated. You can't trust the calculation given by the cars, and the automakers absolutely do not want every car to track this since they leave themselves open to lawsuits when the numbers don't meet whatever was advertised. For example, the readout on my car gives L/100km but it's rounded to the whole number! So it's useless even if it was accurate because the precision is gone.

I like it when people quote their fuel efficiency numbers and then I find out they were getting the measurements from some readout on their dash. It takes quite a bit of actual logging and averaging to produce real fuel efficiency numbers and I doubt that many people do it at all.

As much as I like to bash American units they aren't really the issue here.

I played a DVD the other day, something I haven't done in a few years. It took damn near forever to get the actual movie playing. It was ad after ad for movies from ten years ago. Pirated movies are great. You hit play and the movie starts. That's it.

I can't imagine that it's Comcast policy to try and get their customers, angry or not, fired from their jobs.

Birds aren't as dangerous to low speed propeller driven craft. So long as the windscreen can handle a decent impact then the plane shouldn't be disabled by a bad strike.

Exactly. We don't have the technology to make a flying car that is both a good car and a good plane. You just end up with all-around suckyness.

4. Mention that you have to be at the gym in 26 minutes.

Putting this in a different context if you ran a McDonalds and a table full of 14 year old were using language like that you'd have no trouble telling them to knock it off or leave. And nobody would think you're stamping on the free speech rights bought with blood.
