Marketshare or margins. That is always the choice. They chose margins. So far it seems like they made the right choice. A potential distributor saying "Do it my way or don't do it with me" isn't 'at gunpoint', it's just business.

Amazon wasn't forced. They chose to do that.

Prettiest car ever, IMO. I'd love to see Volvo take another crack at it. I disagree on the C-30 interior, though.

Turn 10 was a consulting production partner on this game, but the actual development was done at Playground in Britain. It's not really a Turn 10 game.

Cheating? What are you talking about? Did you just buy your Xbox recently based on MS promises regarding IE on your console?

Toyota contributed some large sum of money to the Cal Science Center to defray some of the transport costs in exchange for the opportunity to shoot an ad while towing the shuttle. I guess the American car companies didn't offer enough (or, possibly, anything).

How old is this boy?

Bruce Wayne or an art-deco grim reaper. Either way, it's all kinds of awesome.

How long do designs retain a monopoly? Would this be a standard copyright issue? I'm just wondering how long and by what legal mechanism a Railway can claim exclusive rights to a design.

I think the guy who calls himself Drift Idiot realizes his own limitations and just doesn't take himself too seriously. He's the one asking us to laugh along with his mistakes, so I don't see anything mean-spirited about it.

You are correct. That should have read "The small sliver of young people between 16 and 18 is still 78% employed!" Thank you for resolving that confusion. I am perfectly open to correction when I'm in error. You, on the other hand, have clearly given up.

I'm not behaving pretentiously, I am being superior. There's a difference. I did live poorly for years, but worked steadily and hard to stop doing so. When looking at poverty rates, you should probably cull out those groups that aren't applicable to you. What is the poverty rate among high school graduates versus…

I don't know about that. I manage to mangle a steel 5 quart cooking pot with the power seat in my wife's 3 series.

That has to be very de-tuned for street use. Gearing must be completely different. And to keep from crushing the body constantly it has to raised quite a bit.

Everyone but MS stopped using it long ago.

Say it ain't so. I'm 6'5" and a Seven has always been my dream car.

I think a big part of what supercars are selling is their price. It's the prestige of having bought something that expensive. If it was purely a performance issue, you get a lot more for your money with a Caterham or a GT-R.

But it's not, realistically, a lump sum purchase. The $2,000 figure was actually an egregiously large number that allows for the purchase of a nice 42" TV, an XBox 360 or PS3, a second controller, 2 years of Live or PSN+ and a dozen full-priced games. That's not something one would buy all at once. It's a…

What's with the insults? You're going to call me names because I suggested that pretty much any other hobby for adults is more expensive?

These guys have it all figured out. They know that women respond really well to men so desperate to get an upskirt shot.
