There's quite a few of us who own "overpriced sports cars" that take them to the track, learn their capabilities, and are courteous drivers on the road that know how to take advantage of the performance safely. I am much more concerned about the judgement of those people that dress up a car that isn't designed for speed and think they know what they are doing.

Porsches did not have cupholders until fairly recently (there were of course aftermarket ones), but US market considerations have finally pressured the engineers to include them. They probably are still shaking their heads.

...yet.

As noted in a previous post, the Atlanta metro area has 5.4 million so the 500000 figure is not a valid comparison.

You don't even need turnstiles. DFW has quite a few exits that are normal "push-bar" doors, and they have some sort of motion detector that senses if someone starts to walk the wrong way and sounds an alarm. The alarm will also trigger if someone begins to walk out and then turns around to go back into the terminal past the "you must continue to exit" sign. They still post a guard, but presumably they will notice the alarm pretty quickly.

It's much faster than a turnstile (DFW does have those too) and seems to work pretty well.

And "for all intensive purposes" was never the phrase. It's "for all intents and purposes."

"Dogshit" is a pretty apt description for how those handle...I had one as a rental last week (not an SRT-8 though). The SRT-8 Challenger handles worse than dogshit though. (Too bad, it's a great looking car).

She's (rightly) ridiculed for it because it wasn't a geography quiz, it was her response to inquiries about her foreign policy experience. Only someone trying to put some sort of positive spin on Sarah Palin would defend her saying this. It was a laughably dumb response, "100% true" or not.

And what do you do when it's the CEO that keeps calling up saying he wants to be able to connect to YouTube while he's on the VPN and it's too slow?

Forcing all traffic through the tunnel may be ideal, but in the Real World(tm) split tunneling is often the only option.

Yes it was short short range in this case, but that is atypical. A cursory search reveals that snipers routinely take out targets 500m away, the current record is over 2000m.

Why not just hire sniper or two to make the trip with you?

RTFA...this is exactly what the article says doesn't work well because it often produces completely boneheaded moves on the part of the AI.

No, I argue by stating that people have valid motives for hiding things and that your blanket generalization fails.
