Yes this.

Standards were fixed? Irrelevant! They don't matter,the fuel economy of real vehicles in that time frame do. And reality shows the fuel economy of vehicles in the last 30+ years rising year after year:

The only thing "fixed" in that link is the fuel economy of *imports*

The new standards are merely the auto industry road map, made by engineers and codified by Congress.

Wrong, *standards* don't matter, the actual fuel economy of U.S. vehicles has risen year after year in the last 30+ years. That fact destroys your argument, you made up a world view between your ears that has nothing to do with reality.

Obama's (actually Congress) new standards came from the auto industry, it is their roadmap. Your hero politicians accomplished nothing.

Comment Re:Embrace, extend and extinguish (Score 1) 345

nothing was extinguished, those who are not lazy gits can mount any Linux supported filesystem. But more than 99% of people don't want nor need to do that.

  No business has to waste time or money to support a weird niche market and a technically inferior and badly designed filesystem such as ext2 or 3. Filesystem design is not one of Linus' strong suits. Linux users should stop using the ext family, grub supports superior alternatives.

No one is starving in the USA unless they are too lazy to go get their food stamps. Then they spend those on orange drinks and ho-hos, brushing both sides of the aisle at walmart with their fat bellies. I'm talking about inner city people who do most the stealing. You make excuses for laziness and evil.

I do know some people who were poor and hungry during the depression, my relatives and the cites they lived in. But they didn't steal and there was no crime. Strange how having morals and proper upbringing cuts down crme, while those with no family structure, no morals, no work ethic blame others and circumstances for their problems and the crimes they do.

Comment Re:Is there no commandline? (Score 0) 345

sure it does, Linux is just a kernel. What the corporate world wants to add to the Android operating system is very much market focused and cost constrained. There is no need to make extx convenient since almost no one wants it; those niche few who want it can look up the simple steps to mount any linux supported filesystem.

Always amusing to see geeks complain about a corporation not spending money to feed their very niche minority wants. Like when Google stops supporting unpopular services that only found use by geeks.

nonsense, reveals pragmatism. Companies should not waste money on what the market doesn't want or need. The market for chromebook isn't Linux fanboys.

The lazy person would be the one too stupid to do the few steps it takes to mount any Linux-supported filesystem on Chrome, it's not hard to do. The problem is between your ears.
