Nawh, i intend to replace the sensor with one which actually has holes for the screws on both sides, new screws and some loctite :)

the hard part tho, is that it has to be really sensitively adjusted, and after adjustment, it's gonna be tricky to open screws to apply loctite

Yeah, it would. There's no excuse for being lazy ;)

Currently the only reason my car still goes forward is duct tape holding a crucial sensor in place .... Due to it being a hot place, every few weeks attach a bit more so it's tight and nice again...

Oh and that works better than using the original attachment screws which fell out due to vibration ...

Best of all: This car is being used for snow racing ...

Amen to that!

Underneath lies tho larger problems than just that. Sure it's been obfuscated to make harder for 3rd party modifications, but they actually fail to implement proper MVC pattern, just to name one problem. (Nevermind that 12k files in a fresh install...)

Any idiot can make things bigger and more complex, it takes a true genius to make things smaller, simpler.

Magento might have the base ideas correct, unfortunately however, the implementation is worse than kissing a frog while swimming in poo, dragging a concrete block on your ankle.

Foreword: I work as a web developer, and work in highly complex dynamic systems, specializing in UIs and system integration.

I've worked with both osCommerce and Magento. Magento has very good marketing engine, really efficient throwing around of buzzwords. Sure it says on the cover to use Zend Framework and MVC pattern. What's not to like? EVERYTHING. The implementation is crappy even at best. It's not true MVC as view components actually FETCH DATA oO;

I spent about 3 weeks to get an new store launched, and launch was even delayed. The same work, the same system could have been done using osCommerce in a week...

I would recommend Magento only to my worst enemy, even that might be slightly too cruel. The list of problems with Magento is too immense to even start listing ... But i do say: Put it to SVN, checkout to empty directory and try if it work ;)

(Oh, and the development documentation for Magento is complete hokus pokus marketing bullshit)

I would be running to get one, just like you ;)

I've always wanted a computer on which when i want more number crunching power, i just could add a CPU or some ram.

I wish someday i will see computers which is so modular that you could upgrade with a small addition at a time.

Currently if i wanted to get any more number crunching power out of my computer it would be atleast 700euro trip to store... (Jumping to Core i7, DDR3 and a decent mobo as am already running top end of last gen.)

I'm wondering it's PSU, could it take 230V we have here in Finland, or just US standard 110V ... Anyways would have to solder in new plugs tho ...

HDDs won't always top on capacity.
Right now Intel's X25-M 80Gb costs 289$ according to newegg.

If moore's law hold true on SSDs aswell, like it should and has been for past, we are talking fast change here. As a thought:
1½years, 80gb/145$
3years, 160gb/145$
4.5years 320gb
6years 640gb/145$ still ... or 320gb for ~73$ or 160gb for ~37$ ....

Price for 1Mbit will be more likely 10euros. You can already get 512-768kbps wireless (3G) for 10euros a month here in Finland.

24Mbps goes for 37 to 50euros at the moment, 100Mbps for 150euros a month. Yes, that's to home. Ofc actual speeds vary upon distance to the nearest telephone line center.

I know i tried to code myself, without anyone helping me. Didn't really get anything done, what 3yr old would? What counts is that i tried, took the first step.

Apart from that, i remember spending hours upon hours making screenfull after another of ascii art, of sorts. The type 3yr olds usually do.
