Frank and Open laughter works for me, pretty much against those people.

Just be careful of them in groups; you might get burned at the stake.

Let me Tell YOU ABOUT MY MOTHER!!!!!!

(Sweeps the table clear, and ...) :)

So, is the NSA making it easier for Brandon to pay off his student loans?

Paid shill is pretty cheap these days...

At least Cold Ford got paid salary.

This Trial was in no way fair; Secret evidence, discovery denied for obvious things...

Referring to a series of Uncharged crimes during trial and sentencing is nowhere near Constitutional.

Although, this actually IS one of the things the NSA did with all that Intel; one person will get prison time.

And they proved Tor is not secure; arguments to the contrary are just not convincing anymore.

It's to keep Vampires like Rumsfeld and Cheney out of there, Duh! :)

FWIH, There are several analogs in Ft. Leavenworth that would do just as well.

In your own mind, lol.

This is the start; a simple mutation that allows it to spread unnoticed throughout the population...

"I totally got this eye infection, but it made my eyes this really rad color of green! Uh...Do you Smell Brains?!!" :)

Tits exist in at least Four Dimensions.

I've found that over time, they extend their vertical dimension in a much larger proportion than the loss to the original horizontal dimension...

Entropy causes Sagging, film at 11.

Base Camp on Mount Everest; not a bad place to kick off, all thing considered...

Hopefully there was a pitcher of Mai-Tais and some native girls. :)

By the Goatse Guy?

I own three cars that I regularly work on.

I have tuners and tuning software that allows me to write my own set of parameters to run the car by.

The learning curve is hard, benefits are low unless you are constantly tinkering, and the cost of entry and training is pretty high.

I do not think Ford gives a rat's ass about my activities; my cars are too old to be on their radar.

None of my cars are Fly-Bt-Wire.

I have Real Brakes, Real Steering, and Real throttle action. Not going to say those won't fail, but they are a well proven technology.

I've reprogrammed all three cars to match various modifications, engine swaps, etc. It takes changing computer tables/values to get everything working well together.

This kind of "Programming" is more like changing the build file and recompiling with new values; you are not changing structure, just INI files, kinda.

I can't conceive of a circumstance that a bad ini file could cause a problem in the program structure... lol.

That said: In no way would I ever tinker with a FBW computer; the factory code could Crash my car from a WOT throttle event or some such shit Stock, without any help from me.

If you haven't read it, search out the settlement to the Toyota problems; the code review (postmortem, no less) was brutal.
They violated pretty much every rule I know for real time code; and didn't even realize they were having intermittent stack overflows.
They thought they were using a few stack locations; one routine used 30+, lol.
They didn't go to jail; a normal citizen would in a heartbeat.

They also don't want anyone dicking with their "InfoTainment" revenues; if your car has a cellphone, it's talking about you. :)
