My apologies to the English language... "by its ban"

Just like locks are put on doors to keep honest people honest, banning the sale of this book keeps the half-heated attempts of "disruption" at bay. Those who would use the tactics in the book aren't going to be stopped by it's ban, just like those who would break into your house aren't going to be stopped by a deadbolt.

+1 Funny imaginary mod points to you :)

I would've thought most of us /.er's are! :-P

Yes... here in the US you can see lights with lux sensors attached to the overhead wires. I think the idea is that if the light was red and there was traffic backed up at the light, an emergency vehicle with flashing lights would trigger the signal to turn green for that direction, allowing the emergency vehicle to pass.

If you're caught at one of these lights (works best at night) and you want it to turn green, you can flash your brights a few times. It's worked for me on occasion with limited sucess.

Best if no police see you do this, though. ;-)

The rev limiter *should* kick in as soon as you put the car in neutral and the rpms go through the roof.

However, I suppose that if an electronic throttle has decided to go wide open, then it's possible for the rev limiter to go haywire as well. They should be mutually exclusive in the event of failure, but i suppose anything is possible.

^^ Yes. You, sir, win one Internet.

Mod up! I used to eat for a week off one semester's worth of book-buy-back.

No... a cut of your tax dollars. Which is why the holy-rollers and "morally superior" freak out when the local library pays for a copy of Madonna's Sex book.

Totally agreed. I read the GGP and could vividly hear Billy's voice ringing in my ears as if he were on the tube in front of me actually pitching it. I'm sure he'd consider this a fitting eulogy.

How about:

Doctor Quinn
Doctor Detriot
Doctor Demento
Doctor Feelgood


?

Agreed. I have one as part of my home entertainment setup. For that purpose (and perhaps for a space saving design on the desk of someone who requires form over function) it's great. For other applications, meh. It is not a computer for the person who wishes to: a) tinker with hardware, b) do anything that requires serious horsepower, and c) avoid spending money on adapters, cables, a keyboard/mouse... etc.

I did the RAM upgrade on mine, and yes... it's not for the faint of heart: very much the potential to break something important in the process if you're not careful.

I've always heard that a fool and his money are some party!
