Yea. I'd be as likely to figure out that holding the start key down would turn off the engine as I would try to twist the key all the way down to the starter engage position to turn of the engine.

Doesn't that make it pretty useless as a marine assault vehicle? How are you going to use it to land tanks if it needs a special dock?

On on a lot of commercial vehicles the "Start" button engages the starter.

Yea, and get this, The only way to turn off the engine is to hold the start button down for 3 seconds.

Who could have figured thta out. ?



Anyone who has had a comp or laptop freeze on them.



I've driven several vehicles with starter buttons. Hitting a starter button at a high rate of speed would wreck the engine and perhaps cause an accident.

Note that nobody had ever told me what to do when the throttle return spring breaks - it was FUCKING OBVIOUS what t the right thing to do was.



Yes, gramps. You do know that is not applicable at all to a fly by wire car like the prius?

I play dumb as a box of rocks about anything outside of my programming.

You don't get any credit for doing stuff outside of what you were hired for, and if you screw up helping out outside your job description, people will turn on you like wolves.

It gets better. During lunch one of the bosses comes down and put one of his family's notebooks on a programmers chair. "It's got some viruses or something on it." he says.

So while the .NET guy is trying to fix a minor disaster on the website, it's decided to tell buyers they can't buy something when they can, he has the notebook beside him so he can work on it too.

. said:Two things are wrong with this statement:

1) The saying is "The lottery is a tax on people who are bad at math."

2) The saying isn't always true. In CA, it is statistically favorable to play the Lotto when the net jackpot (present value, after taxes) exceeds $41.4 million. This only happens rarely, but it does happen.



What the hell do you mean "Statistically favorable"? It's still more likely I'll get struck by lightening than my five bucks will win the jackpot.

Always thought it would be a great troll to fuck a chick like that, but leave a condom full of Negro jizz in the garbage. Won't she be surprised in 9 months!

The problem with that plan is finding the condom full of Negro jizz.



Well, first you find a negro, and take off his pants.

Well, obviously the Soviets would have ended up with France.

But the French did care. They were very upset when America and Britain violated the treaties and refused to help stop the German invasion.

You can't allow an ally to get conquered without firing a weapon to help, and then dawdle in four or five years later and expect them to be particularly grateful.

I don't suppose there's anyway I can convince you that our policy of destroying French villages to prevent Germans from taking cover in them might have upset the French who lost their homes, businesses, and families?

. said:No, the companies which benefitted most were the State oil companies - Russian, Chinese, Malaysian, etc - so that they now dwarf the multi-nationals.

US companies benefit when the oil price is competitive.



:monkey:

Exxon made more money than any company has ever made in the history of the world. How is that not benefiting from high oil prices?

And notice that money was not spent on exploration. Exxon has zero interest in doing anything thta might lower oil prices.

I do accounting programs for a small company. I would never claim to be doing important work for a big company.
