There is certainly a benefit to spending a lot of money on engineering, never the less horsepower is a function of fuel burned. If you prefer the comparison, my Subaru WRX gets 18/25 at 228 HP with AWD.
That's not very good for 2 wheel drive and ~ 240 HP. My 911 Turbo gets 16/23 with AWD and 470 HP.
I think some game had inverted Y axis as the default, or it seemed more intuitive when I first started playing games that allowed you to look up and down.
For me this was Mechwarrior, mainly because it is more like a sim than a shooter. To this day I play every game with a first person view with the mouse inverted. All the 20 somethings I hang out with think its weird.
All my paid bills go into a big cardboard box next to my desk. It's like putting them in a garbage can except they never get thrown out. No filing or sorting - just a chronological pile. This way I can look at them if I feel like doing research to accurately answer Slashdot poll questions. Shredding and disposal would be a lot more work.
I was curious, so I just spent the last 10 minutes sifting through previous bills to look up the monthly consumption for the last 2 years and enter it into a spreadsheet. This year it will be about 5200 kWH while the year before it was about 5800. I'm not sure what I did, but its an 11% drop.
Bear in mind the list of recent presidents that were not lawyers:
George W. Bush
George H. W. Bush
Ronald Regan
Jimmy Carter
I dislike the litigious nature of our society as much as the next guy, but non lawyer seems to be a poor choice of filter.
If I wanted to coordinate 25 people in real time to solve complex problems under stressful conditions in my free time, I would simply stay later at work.
