Sorry, Disney characters are *not* cute in my opinion.  They all look thin and pale, like they suffer from AIDS.

It was hard to find info that stated it was ford's fault for the Explorer roll overs (ford must have payed CNN to say that firestone did it) but here you go:

and...

By reading the info on the fist link you know how bad ford makes cars.  by looking at the pics on the second link you are reasurred how bad ford's cars are.  I am kind of spoiled in that our family chooses Land Rovers as their SUV, now they don't have rollbars (well the Discovery, Freelander, and Range Rover don't) but they can all handle being flipped without collapsing.  Jesus, I can't believe the people in that pancaked Ford even lived at all.

Erm... you hate Ford and drive Land Rover ... and you see nothing wrong in this statement?

Oh well better late than never. I really really hate to burst bubbles, but Land Rover IS Ford now - In fact it has been since it designed the Discovery all those years ago - which explains why that is such an ugly and boring piece of crap, and has the same reported stability issues as do most SUVs.

Awesome, a modern day valve comp. How many power stations do you own - I reckon the Dixie tubes alone could probably blackout melbourne.

It has been done you know - however I believe 3 hours to calculate root 9 is a bit slow, 60 seconds per cycle clock speed anyone?

Actully I have toyed with the idea of making a processor out of bc184s and bc109s - Might take a while to debug once built. Used to debug a 32 transistor inverter - with common emitters and darligton pairs, amongst other tricks - almost went blind.

Kroger Plus Card
Yes. It gets extremely stupid, but the fact still remains that they keep track of what you buy. (They send cupons to your house too based on that info, unless ya checked the box telling them not to)

Wal-Mart workers say company forces unpaid overtime




This article hits close to home, and I mean real close. I work at a walmart in Kansas City, and the incident first listed in the article happened in Kansas City. All I can say is that I hope walmart gets what it deserves. I have no love for walmart, and after working there for 2 years I have the right to say it.

Ford Just bought Land Rover like 2 years ago, the Discovery has been out for over 10 years.  And Everything is still BMW.  I am very pissed that Ford bought Land Rover.  But saying that Land Rover is ford is like saying that Aston Martin, Jaguar, and Volvo are all Ford. We all know they share no parts in common.  It is also like saying that Chrysler is Mercedes because Mercedes owns them.  Hell no, Chrysler doesn't get that Title.

The only foreign company that Ford owns that they have taken over is Mazda.

P.S. I supremely disagree with you that the Discovery is an ugly boring piece of crap.  I love the way the Discovery looks, and I love it engine.  I've read review where they say the engine is more capable of pulling a stump out of the ground than mergin on a freeway.  I like the new Range Rovers, they are cool and the BMW engine in them is awesome.  The Land Rover I most want is a Defender, too bad they can't sell them in USA anymore.
