If that's the reason you've come up with then ok. However, no one I know
does that. Please compare that to something else.
You buy a DVR and beat your head with it for a few weeks just to take it
back. Do they compensate you for lost time? No. No one does that.
Next time, try cnet.com if you haven't already. Non-biased reviews and lots
of user reviews.

Either that or find someone else to "make the adapter", or get the adapterJustin said:I see what you mean! So people should write their own drivers for Vista
if they don't have them already?
from the carburetor manufacturer if they still expect you to be able to use
it. Don't expect the manufacturer of the new car to make it. The car will
either include it's own carburetor, or be designed to fit any carburetor
they expect you to use with it. If your old carburetor doesn't fit and you
insist on using it, and you can't make an adapter and no one will make one
for you, you still have the option of buying an old car that works with it.

A W-16 engine that can produce 1,001 horsepower
A top speed of 250+ mph (400+ kph)

A zero-to-180 time of 14 seconds
Even a Fomula 1 car? 0-100-0 6.8 seconds. It's got to be some bike to beat
that and a great rider that can handle it.

In fact, a group of people started on their own X-Fi driver for creative

but it illustrated what you said perfectly.

How, for example, do you know what I may really think of you? I
know what others think, they have you in the same peg hole as DST,
but for different reasons. I'd prefer to get along by going along,
but sometimes some folks let their emotions drive their fingers on
a keyboard faster than their brains can manage the drivel flowing
there from.
Again, 'nuff said.

GTS and found one about an hour's drive from me. The dealer
would've let me test drive it, but my wife crawled in, sat down and
declared "the door is too small, the seats are too hard, I'm too
cramped and there aren't any cupholders, so if you want to buy this
thing, go ahead, just plan on driving by yourself!" Bless you,

of us want to admit it or not, ALL reviews of anything ARE
biased, through the eyes of the reviewers and the extent to which
they use lab vs. theoretical concepts vs. real-world "testing" to
reach their conclusions. I stopped looking in on cnet.com and
dpreview.com for cameras years ago. Ditto for the magazines,
whose "bias" comes from the business need to sell magazines and
not lose ad income by trashing some car, camera, computer,
whatever. This is a PC world, meaning "politically correct" and
it is patently impossible to get truely unbiased "opinions".
Besides, who's to say that what the N testers did or didn't do is
at all what you plan to do? Easy example: I pounded my head for a
year trying to get even ONE opinion on using flash to take
pictures of cars in a museum. I'll talk about that saga some
other time, thank you.

If one looks at the limitions caused by F=MA, coefficient of
friction for tires, and some other easy to understand physics
concepts, one can decide that the amount of hp necessary to get
there much quicker than a Veyron - however it is spelled - takes
not 1,002, but at least 2,000, 4,000, maybe higher. Absent any
issues with basic physics, it becomes a power-to-weight issue as
was pointed out earlier. But, as the saying goes, all other
factors being equal but they never are ...

You're illustrating my point exactly. F-1s, LeMans race cars,

anything can approach specs for any criteria of performance that

examines the definitions, who was driving, and the way the
"test" was done, one leaves the world of the real and enters that
of the surreal. Easy example:
I have a friend who has a hopped up 2005 Dodge SRT-4, what you
and I know as a Neon. He has a Stage II or III set of Mopar
Performance kits on it and is in the range of a Viper. But, I
tried to bet him a lunch that I could take him with my Charger 8
out of 10 times. He declined. But, my logic was this: he's got a
stick shift; if he doesn't heel-and-toe for enough boost at
launch, he bogs, and I win. If he lights up the front tires, I
win. So, if he gets it exactly right, and the fuzz still haven't
arrived, he CAN take me. But, to do my stint, all I have to do is
a Sally Field - "I put the medal to the pedal and the thing to
the floor" and let those 340 ponies breathe through a convoluted
exhaust system and "only" 5 gears in the automagical tranny.

Sorry, but adam, nina and arachnid mean nothing to me. Hell, even alias and

If you say so. I see patterns in this NG and I saw something that raised a

Hum, something seems out of context here. Is the fact that nothing is

If I can find a source that at any given point in time has given a
particular model from ALL VENDORS 5 stars then I consider that non-bias.
Plus, more times then not the user reviews are within par of the cnet
review.
Plus, don't skip over the power of user reviews. It just takes time to sort

You CARE what other people think of you which is why you go on and on
trying to defend the garbage you keep posting. Sorry if that's too big
a dose of truth for you to swallow. ;-)

That's because you seem very inmature and some of your seniors see
right through your obvious BS. You told us you have a "test lab",
you've told us you had 20 machines or some such number, then a few
days ago that ballooned to 500 if I recall correctly. You live a
Walter Mitty existance. I have a hard time accepting you do much of
anything since we find you here early morning on late into the night.
If you had a job, especially what you hint at, you wouldn't have so
much time to goof of posting to backwater newsgroups. I see you as
phony as a three dollar bill. You get mad at me and others because
you know we know. ;-)
Since I'm semi-retired and have run two successful businesses I can
afford to goof off here all I want. I'm sure you would bring it up, so
answered in advance. ;-)
And of course you fancy yourself the authority to do that. <snicker>

Hum...adam seems to be trolling again.
Some? Please back up your mouth with facts.
Yeah, so?
You'll have to provide a link to that. The only sense the number 20 makes
on my network is the number of Macs we have.
I'm guessing that since EVEN YOU have admitted you don't read everything and
how many people have PROVEN you do not read correctly, you probably miss
read something somewhere. However, if you can provide a link or subject
line then I can go back and see what happened. If I made a mistake then
I'll admit as such. That's the biggest difference between you and I.
Nope, you recall very incorrectly. You always do. Again provide a link. I
have 300+ PCs.

Yes, LATE into the night. Once the family has gone to bed. Unless I get
bored and something only my wife likes to watch is currently playing.
Backwater? More adam garbage.
