    Hyperion1817 reacted to Syntaxvgm in CISA Passes Senate 74-21

    Look, I know the posting guidelines require me to add my own opinion or something to it, but I really don't have one. 
    I'm worn out. 
    Not only did this pass despite almost no citizens aware of it wanting it, it wasn't even fucking close. 
    Very few in the tech industry wanted it, actually a lot of large companies even voiced their opposition. 
    Actually, I can't think of anyone that knows anything about the tech industry not tied to the government that wanted it. 
    I knew this would happen. 
    We all knew. 
    It's going to continue happening. 
     
    We 'win', and they keep trying to shove the same shit through until eventually we lose. 
    It doesn't matter if we stop these sort of laws/legislation. They have unlimited tries to shove it through in some way- be it directly, under another name, or attached to an unrelated bill. 
     
     
    So what now? 
    It seems like every year the internet and the bastion of free communication - that just 5 years ago I would have thought would change the world for the better by forcing it to be open- is dwindling.

    Don't let this discourage you. As with a lot of things in life you won't get everything done right the first, second, or even third time.

    Hmm. If I was going to take a stab at it, I would clean or replace your Mass Airflow Sensor. If that is giving bad readings to the ECU about air quality, it could cause your throttle to adjust according to the bad info.

    Hyperion1817 reacted to GrimNeo in Bad news... I got scammed :(   
    So I have some bad news. I got scammed yesterday around this time. A person called my parents house saying they were with the Sheriff's office. They told my dad that I missed jury duty and I was in contempt of court. Told my dad I would be arrested for missing it. My dad got nervous and called me about it. I told him I was not going to call and look into it. Dad then came over to my house and called the person and told me I had to talk with the deputy. I was really pissed at my dad. This guy said he received a warrant from the judge about me missing jury duty. I let him know I check the mail everyday and that I never received it. He told me it was sent on 05/20/15 and my court date was 06/08/15 at 9am. I told the guy I never got the mail so how could I be in trouble. He told me that a warrant was out for my arrest and that I need to go to court on 06/24/15 at 9am. He had the right name and information down about the judge in my county. Even gave me the phone number for the sheriffs office. He told me I can either be placed in custody or pay the bond set by the judge as a good faith payment. Then I would go to court and if found not guilty get my money back. I asked if court called and he said on 06/02/15. Which no calls were made and then he told me it was not his area. I did not want to be in jail till 06/24/15. He asked me to get him a recharge card from a grocery store. I bought the card with cash and gave him the information on it. I have never been in trouble with the law. My dad told me to pay it so I don't get arrested. After I got off the phone with this scammer. I called my attorney and he told me it was a jury duty scam. I called the card company and a card was sent to Oregon. I told them card was stolen and they want me to fax proof I bought the card and then I would get the money back. I just filed a police report and a report with the attorney general. I called the court and they said I had no court date and that I got scammed. Basically I lost $280. Now you ask what the bad news is. Well the $280 was money I set aside for my Nvidia/AMD giveaway on here. I am truly sorry I fell victim to this scam. If you guys don't mind I will have to postpone the AMD giveaway for a month or so. Hopefully I can get the money back. I feel like a moron for even falling for this scam. Just wanted to let you guys know. I did not want to be arrested and I just got caught up in the moment. Well take care.
     
    Lets make this clear. I am just telling you I was scammed. I know it is my fault. I called the cops and they confirmed the person's badge number and name. They also would not tell me if I had a warrant out for my arrest but they would pick me up if I did. No use beating a dead horse saying it is your fault. I am not asking for anyone to feel sorry. Also looked it up and the information the person giving me was correct about missing jury duty. Court said it is an offense but they would not ask for money over the phone.

    You know what's funny? *giggles* if you look under the hood of a lot of american sedans, the engine is Mitsubishi, Honda or Toyota. That's what's left of the US car industry.

    Bullshit, it's a gas guzzler. always has been, always will be. Put in a six-cylinder diesel with a couple of turbos, now that would be a challenge. One fewer cylinder gave a heavy-ass volvo S60 58mpg on the highway. Freaking awesome. Never been done on a truck like that. Maybe they could try it (no, they won't, I'm retarded...)

    IF you can wait 10 or so years, they become classed as "classics" and you can import them to the US. They bypass NHTSA regulations because of their "classic" classification. Of course you have to pay some import taxes and things.

    The above trailer takes you on a tour through the work-in-progress city. It took me a while to realise what it was that bothered me about the video. It's not Vice City's flat textures, and the way they feel strange under GTA 5's more realistic lighting. It's that Wave 103 isn't playing in the background, as it always is whenever I'm in Vice City.
