Well we do know that the the EPA and the California Air Resources Board flagged this issue for VW more than once, and that VW issued a recall at least once to do a software update. I suspect that VW not fixing the issue after they told the EPA and CARB that they fixed it is what forced the EPA to assume maliciousness instead of omission.

Requested invite.

Picard with the Cardassians?

Can you post a howto?

You're missing the bigger picture. China is providing loans to these companies for them to go out and get these types of contracts. In effect, China uses WTO rules to get tariff free access to our markets, and then hollow out our manufacturing base by subsidizing competitors.

So yes, Owners of businesses are taking risks that employees don't have to, and they should have the right to pick the most cost-effective suppliers. But we should draw the line at competitors who are trying to cheat the system to gain an upper-hand.

The point is, when you focus on great products, profits follow.

Wait, so what if someone says in THESE SPECIFIC REGIONS temperatures will go up, while in THESE SPECIFIC REGIONS temperatures will go down. That seems like a disprovable theory, And it seems like an eminently reasonable claim. Now whether that claim can be borne out by the data is a different question.

I dunno about you, but most of the single-player games I buy for the online multiplayer component. I don't have a PS3, but I have an XBox 360. For the Modern Combat series I don't think I have complete a single single-player mission. All my game time has been online multiplayer. Someone like me would be very affected by this change if Microsoft adopted it.

Sigh

Well yes, of course TODAY, 150GB or a 250GB seems perfectly reasonable. But imagine if ISPs had put up caps in 1998 of 100 GB. You would have thought, oh, over dialup I could NEVER use that amount of data, yet by your own post, your family probably uses over 100GB per month right now.

I don't know what the cost is to ISPs right now for providing "unlimited" bandwidth. But the way I see it, what's happening is, they are positioning themselves so that at the point where streaming ALL your TV shows over the internet becomes feasible, through licensing agreements and networks moving online, they want to make it economically difficult for you to transition from "TV, Telephone and Internet", to just "Telephone and Internet".

How else do you explain that AT&T will not include your TV watching in its 250GB Internet caps? They're using the same infrastructure to deliver both services.
