He was probably more referring to the mid-70's era Bronco which was - in
fact - built like a tank. Buddy of mine has a '73 Bronco with a six-inch
lift, 33" tires, 429, and dual flowmasters.

Nice truck!

Drool...

"The 6.0-liter V8 makes 325 horsepower in this chassis and 365 pound-feet
of torque, enough to move this 6,400-pound behemoth from 0 to 60 mph in
about 10 seconds. Perhaps more important, it can tow 6,500 pounds or carry
2,200 pounds of cargo.

The engine drives through GM's 4L65-E electronically controlled four-speed
automatic overdrive transmission, the Borg-Warner 44-84 transfer case with
a 40/60 front/rear torque bias, and steep 4.10:1 axle ratios"


I wouldn't mind a 4.10 axle. But then I also appreciate getting 21 MPG,
and that can't be done with a 4.10 AFAIK.
 
Well, first of all I was talkin about the 80s Bronco's, BEFORE they
started trying to make them "fuel efficient" by making them as light
weight and smashtacular as possible.

Yeah, that's what I figured.

As for OSX...I can't stand that stupid bitch. I mean if they wanted
to add in a second mouse button and then eliminated at LEAST half of
the inane, ****witted, retard keyboard combos (I swear, sometimes it's
like playing Mortal Kombat or something) I might at least find it
usable, but otherwise...nope.

The gold here: OSX has supported multiple button mice since it's
initial release, and apple has been shipping two button + scroll wheel
mice for at least a couple of years now.
Not to mention if yer using OSX that means yer on Mac hardware which
equates to about 1/1000th of the hardware options you get with the PC
platform...I like variety and teh Mac just can't deliver in that
respect.

More gold: with Macintoshes being PCs in funny cases now, methinks you
need to update your material a bit.
And hey, if it's just a hardon for the Mac look that you've
got, well uh, last I checked WindowsXP was FULLY SKINABLE and the
number of Mac skins out there is quite plentiful.

You claim (with as much seriousness as any of the retarded nonsense out
of your mouth could be attributed) to have fixed a corrupted BIOS by
pulling out your CMOS battery. This is all the justification anyone
would need to dismiss your computer-relation opinions out-of-hand. Do
you fix flats on your Lotus by rotating the tires? Because that would
make just as much sense as you "fixing" your BIOS by pulling the
battery off your motherboard.

Eagerly awaiting your response, in which you desperately flail about my
violations of the "Prime Directive" to distract attention from your
many failure.

BONUS PREEMPTIVE STRIKE: The Prime Directive doesn't apply to people
who've had contact with you before you got upgraded to official Portal
of Evil exhibit (i.e. me). Neener neener, butter tits.

And how does that help? The machines come with single button mice, so all
software has to assume that the user has only one button.

Wrong... An Intel Mac is still not a PC. Just because they share a CPU
doesn't mean that hardware makers will develop Mac drivers for the PC cards.

That was my first ticket! I got one, right after I got my license for
rolling through a stop.

My wife (then girlfriend) and I each got one a few years later for not
making a complete stop on Balboa Island. We were riding our bicycles!
The ****ing officer pulls us over in his motorcycle and told us we cruised

3 buttons + scroll ball has been the standard Apple OEM mouse for
almost a year and a half. Luckily for me, you failed to read that
entire sentence (wherein it was revealed that multi-button mice have
been standard equipment on Macs for quite some time) at all, so you
didn't call me on my actual error (Aug 2005 to now is not "a couple of
years"), but tripped over your own shoelaces in a rush to act on the
"Kick Me" sign you thought you saw on my back. Also: if you're worrying
about how many buttons a user has on a Macintosh, YOU'RE DOING IT
WRONG. Well formed Macintosh software hooks to higher-level events
(i.e. Option+Click and Right-Click look exactly the same if you're not
being a drooling retard and following the HIG).

Which is why none of my hardware works in Linux...oh wait. (Director's
Commentary: I know OS X is not Linux; this is a demonstration that the
"lack of official vendor support = won't work" argument you're making
is ****ing stupid and worthless) Shit, I'd wager dollars to donuts
esoteric hardware support is better on an Intel Mac than a PC with
Windows XP: Apple gets to leverage a significant chunk of the legwork
the *BSD/Linux guys do in terms of hardware support. The ball's in your
court, Butter Tits Jr. What are the killer gadgets that don't have Mac
drivers? Zunes?

"Mac users choose Mac because it's pretty." Is being devoid of actual
content your goal here, or is YHWH protecting me from your idiocy
somehow? Are you implying the image I linked to is "pretty?" Pretty is
more than blinging up the buttons and scrollbars. If you understood me
the first time, you'd realize I am repeating myself with that; however,
you obviously didn't, so here this sentence is.

There would need to be some sort of actual debatable talking point
there for an actual disagreement to occur. If providing some context
for his ongoing self-flagellation by Internet is attacking him
personally, this is only because objective reality has a strong
anti-Matt Moulton bias. Would you listen to a man that fixes a flat by
rotating the tires when he tells you Jaguars are terrible cars (because
they don't seat drivers over 12 stone)?

Are you actually so ****ing broken you think "Anything that can be done
on a Mac can be done better using teh PC" is insightful commentary
worthy of anything other than a severe beating? If so, please tell me
you're a regular here and will be replying to more of my posts with all
the panache you've shown in your debut! It's like I've died and gone to
mongoloid cage fighting heaven!

I guess most of my experience is with the UC Irvine cops. They sit in a
small parking lot near my work and nap people who don't stop. I have
watched them let many people go with a rolling stop, but if they roll
"fast" they get nailed. It's quite funny actually :-)

What? The 405? You guys down there near John Wayne never get to faster
than about 35MPH anyway. I think Culver goes faster! Not a problem!

They're probably thinking about all the rich kids going to school there,

Culver moves at about 55, the 73 moves at about 80 but never has much
traffic. The 405 tries to move at 80, but it's like road warriors;
people want to go 80, but it's more like 50 is a safe speed. My bug
would get squished.

The biggest violators seem to be the UCI owned vehicles. I don't know
what it is about those guys driving the golf carts around, they think
they don't have to obey the traffic laws or something.

Or as the radio stations like to call it "the cottage 500". I did that
for many many years (1963-2000) Until about 1975 the 400 was only 2
lanes from hwy7 to Barrie, before that it was just one :-(
