Star Wars + 90's Gundam style = Amazing!

Note that despite being essentially the same 140HP 2.0L diesel as the Jetta TDI (and sadly not the Europe-only 168HP), the US Passat TDI *does* use urea-injection. Obviously it's tweaked to run leaner and hotter as you describe to return better mileage in the larger car.

Yeah because "built-to-a-price" cars like Toyotas and Hondas are terribly unsafe and don't consistently score high crash ratings. Also, everyone thought the New Beetle was super cool.

Frankly, you're still OCD'ing hard over the legal distinction of the term when once again it's meaningless in the overall context of a informal discussion if people call it stealing.

Ah but there's a corollary to #8 and a it's big downside:

"Let me ask you a simple question: Given the choice would you rather someone steal your car or drive away a duplicate of it?"

When in the past 20 years have VWs ever had dramatic styling? Their designs have been restrained, simple, and modestly classy since the 80s; this applies to their current designs. If anything they've kept their status quo instead of going with overstyled designs like current Hyundais which will look dated 10 years…

Yeah, it's kind of an interesting situation. Basically EA owns the System Shock *name* and publishing rights, but at the time Looking Glass kept the content and IP rights. You need both to sell the game.

I just want to point out (because it's been buried by the annoying comments system), that I was rather wrong about the case. To a consumer PC guy, based on the number of drive bays and plasticky front end, it looks like a cheap ATX mid-tower. In reality, it's apparently a SuperMicro brand server case (though still…

Yeah I know, the page I linked shows some of these. It also shows them being distinguishable from generic PC towers by branding and specialized hardware...

Well, I stand corrected there. Based on the plasticy looking front, the angle, and the number of drive bays I thought I was looking at cheap ATX mid-tower.

I said they don't look like random, cheap PC towers, not that they don't look like PC towers. Dev kits are pretty distinguishable from normal towers because of branding and specialized hardware (controller, memory card ports).

What gun nerds call a magazine, Nerf brands as a clip. So regardless of whether you agree with what Nerf calls it, the article author had the right naming for the context.

Uh:

Anyone have a link to his test of an engine swapped Delorean mentioned at the beginning? Yes I'm lazy.

20 obnoxious kids on a forum != PC gamers

You read the part about him not making it for himself, but for a friend who's a fan of the game, yes?
