   The 'fuss' with top gear is that they implied the car ran out of energy and had to be pushed, while the car logging shows it never ran out of energy and had enough juice to drive back into the garage from any point on the track. Top Gear co

   that 'debunking' is full of such impossibly bad writing i have no choice but to dismiss it. I cant say Mandiant is correct either, but at least they know how to construct a sentence.

   A carne asada burrito can have anything on it. If america has proved anything its that we can take anything in your culture, completely change it, and still call it by your name.

    Shrug, i didn't downvote the OP, just provided insight (as requested) into why the post has been downvoted. The tone doesnt have to be flowery and sweet. But the tone should never sound like a personal attack. "Do you seriously not see" imp

    Thanks for the info, interesting stuff. I've got more first-gen minimax going right now, sorta works but gets stuck in a repeating move pattern. Interesting stuff to work on though, i really appreciate the pointers. Hopefully this weeken

    Night school is certainly possible, although i'm not really sure where. I've looked into SJSU but it seems there would be at least 2 semesters of pre-req's before getting into the interesting upper level CS courses. Still I have tried to g
