They should be partnering with the group...

You're assuming that the group is sane and competent and honest. When it comes to anti-pornography activists, evangelical fervor often overwhelms all other considerations as people fly off into a moral panic -- especially when children are involved. "OMG won't SOMEONE think of the CHILDREN!!1!"

I'd need to see something far more rigorous -- especially when the group in question has been accused of covering up for real child abusers and used a criminal defamation suit to silence the accuser.

That said: there are creeps on the net and you should not let ten-year-olds out there unsupervised. (Duh.)

Try this on for size:

Interesting how you cited the one criteria (out of seven listed) that amounts to little more than feelgood fluff. Also interesting how the rest of those criteria make a single, clear point, while #4 has two distinct, completely unrelated parts to it.

I feel good about myself for solidly meeting the rest of those criteria. If the second half of #4 counts as the make-or-break test for the word - You can have it. I love what I do, but when I do it for someone else, I do it to get paid. Simple as that.

It's not impressive for the price (no electric car will be, because it's like paying most of the fuel costs up-front), but still a very good time overall.

So to prevent bad things, one winds up with a worse thing! :(

Tire pressure MONITORING system.

If you owned a car with one, you'd know they are the bane of your existence. They're constantly failing.

Neither of us has any idea whether he checked tire pressure before he did the run. 130mph isn't really that super-duper in a modern car with tires rated for it...as noted, a decent number of people to it on the autobahn, or the Nurburgring, every day.

You can bet a lot of people's insurance policies will be damaged one way or another...higher rates or no coverage for earthquake damage.

This. If possible, I like to use disks from the same vintage, but of slightly different runtime, into the same storage block (whatever your technology may be). It eliminates the need for different disk batches/etc. (which is a management headache to deal with after the fact, and can lead to weird perf issues) by staggering the likely failure.

Although you can never prove that correlation is equal to causation... we're going to run with it because it works for us.

Got it.

Had profit.

I don't think that any mod that makes a car's lap times worse necessarily "ruins" it. If there are people with similar tastes in the drag racing crowd they probably consider half the mods that make cars corner better to "ruin it." Not to mention the offroad crowd...

Same here, likely, but I don't want my mouth to write checks that the car can't cash ;-)

Because it really doesn't matter much. You will never find one victim of this Adobe hack who would rather have been in a fender bender.

Wikipedia's entry on the Veyron: " It uses special Michelin PAX run-flat tyres, designed specifically to accommodate the Veyron's top speed, and cost US$25,000 per set. The tyres can be mounted on the rims only in France, a service which costs US$70,000." Ouch.

Besides enormous inertia stressing the tires, a car is propelled ONLY through its tires. When a Veyron hits top speed, it is dumping its entire 1000 HP output into stressing those poor tires. Even though moving at a constant rate, your are stressing the tires as much as when accelerating as fast as possible, except for minutes on end.

You need 200hp to hit 140!? Mine can do it with 130hp, once you disable the speed limiter ;-)
