@Braff/Jafoca: Sort of/not really. This is a transverse-mounted, FWD car with a power-takeoff unit sending power through a clutchpack between the front and rear axles combined with a clutchpack-operated lockable rear diff, as opposed to the Audi which has a true torsen center differential with a rear-biased torque…

Well, my inner child is a whiny, privileged hipster kid, but my outer self is sick of taking my current GTI to the mechanic.

@jbh11126: More here:

They're bottom-hinged so you can't get them stuck in your floor mats.

@oddseth: Several million small business owners.

@Jeb_Hoge: No passengers have ever been killed in accidents on the Shinkansen, ever, in something like 300 billion passenger miles travelled. #rants

@bradyb: Dang Socialists. I’m not going to pay for your roads.

"Pretty sure that's a lambo".

@jinushaun: Right, it's not quite sudo. It's more of a reactive screen that then invokes something like sudo to do the job, the patent appears to be for the UI before sudo is invoked, not the act of actually running something as an administrator.

It's got a nice interior, two torques shy of 260 (that's what buick drivers are going to be using anyway, this car will see the crusher before it sees redline), it's not eye-gougingly ugly, it gets decent mileage, and it probably drives as good as a lexus and costs less.

Yes, but if I start a star-crossed video game company, import two of them illegally, and wrap one around a telephone pole on PCH after racing against my wife's McLaren Mercedes, will I live to blame it on Dietrich? #ultimagtr

@MadcowsDiseased: Ugh. I hate how comments are hidden. I replied to a starred commenter who had asked the same question as you, but later. Sorry.

Technically not a whole motor, but pretty much anything with a rocket boosted supercharger counts as weirdawesome:

Just be careful you go to a reputable dealer. I went to this place around the corner called "We Can Recall It For You Wholesale", and all they did was put me in this machine that made me think the floor mats had been replaced.

It's taking so long because it's worth it. They could ship it early, but then it would only be as good as Forza.

@zacbowling: There's no indication that the CDDL is incompatible with the APSL license. The GPL is, however, explicitly incompatible with the APSL license and Apple has taken steps to isolate and replace any GPLed code or tools in the OS with non GPLed equivalents (gcc was one of the more notable holdouts, but even…

@lostarchitect: OSX's file system is less prone to fragmentation to begin with, but OSX's disk caching system also defrags on the fly based on a number of factors like file size, fragment size, CPU load, etc. There are still situations where you might want to defrag manually, but they are insanely rare.

@bruxell: Thanks for the explanation, because that would have been even stranger if they had a transverse layout with a rear transaxle.
