    I have no idea what that means but I would most likely be allowed to drive in the US since I have a Dutch drivers license... Which to me makes this an rather interesting topic.
     
    As for the general question; I can't answer since the systems seem to be so different.
     
    Please add "If you live in the USA." as in Europe manual is still the standard and is still the standard.
     
    I can understand your point but since my work>home drive alone accounts for 45k KM a year I wouldn't want to do a "regular" test every 10 years because someone (like my brother) basically never drives unless they pay the hours I have to take off work... But I know (over here) they won't and thus are wasting my time.
     
    Nearly did all of my driving lessons in winter time until my instructor asked me to do some during day time at least...
     
    Since all I did was drive in the dark with snow, ice and darkness.
     
    Not fully, I managed an over steer moment a couple of years back just fine because I knew what to do (in my case keep going to straighten the back by adding more power) while I never experienced anything like that. For me at that moment it was 100% about feeling what the car was doing even if I didn't understand it.

    Ehm, what?
    Driving on the highway is by far the easiest part of driving. It's the slow city driving that will be the difficult part. Lots of things to keep track of, lots of starts and breaks, controlling the clutch and so on.
     
    Also, if you're in Sweden (which I think I recall you being) then I would recommend the books from the DMV, or some other up to date studying guide specifically made for passing drivers tests.
    In Sweden (don't know about other countries) there are A LOT of non-driving related things you need to know in order to pass the written test. I had some question about which type of green-house gas was reduced/removed by which type of filter in the car. How age affects reaction time. How to drive in the most eco-efficient way.

    Everything in this machine is either running good as new, overclocking good as new or both:

    Its also kind of annoying that I can't upload bitmap as images. 6MB 1080p image courtesy of my 16MB Riva TNT2 Vanta, instead of 94KB jpeg.

    Edit: Important note, the Vanta is getting as hot at 155MHz as it did at stock with any of my other motherboards+PSU (excluding my VP6), and the Yamaha XG audio tells soundcards of the time to get rekt with its DOS and Windows sound quality (its far superior to the crap used in my now donated iPod nano 7).

    They include the fill. We needed ~20 and it was literally cheaper to buy 50 from a volume seller in China than to buy 20 locally.
     
    So we figured we'd just flip the remaining ones at about the price we paid.
     
    To the people insinuating that we're gouging people plz show me the listing for where you can buy something like this cheaper. They're really nice.

    Ken je Vessel? Het is een soort YouTube waarvoor je maandelijks iets van 4 euro betaald om videos van LTT een week eerder te zien. Dat is dus overgekocht door Verizon en 31 oktober neergehaald. 
     
    Floatplane club is een soort in-house versie van Vessel. Het is in-a-rush uitgebracht omdat het verdwijnen van Vessel erg abrupt was, maar er wordt druk aan gewerkt.
     
    Ik betaal nu dus via de store $30/jaar en kan dan hun videos een week eerder downloaden en bekijken (Dit geldt natuurlijk niet voor de videos over CES, PAX en andere conventions). Naast de early access is er ook een "Floatplane club" sectie in het forum waar mensen die lid zijn kunnen praten over de videos.
     
    Het hele early-access is controversieel maar ik vind het zelf een ideale manier om LMG te supporten en er zelf ook nog wat voor terug te krijgen.

    SLI is door 3dfx uitgevonden eind jaren 90, Nvidia heeft vervolgens zelf een variant in 2004 geintroduceerd en de SLI naam hergebruikt (Nvidia had 3dfx opgekocht).
    Als reactie heeft Ati idd. zijn eigen variant ontwikkeld, maar dat wil niet zeggen dat het dezelfde technologie is (dat kan niet eens vanwege patenten).
     
    Nvidia is dus niet origineel en SLI is niet gelijk aan Crossfire.

    I haven't had the need to pirate software for many years now, just yesterday I got a Windows 10 license for €32, for that price I am not going to go through the trouble of pirating it. As for other software, nearly all of the time I find awesome free alternatives or the pricing is less then €20 so again, why pirate then?
    Then there are the free programs which for example Autodesk have where they supply free software to anyone claiming to either be a student or out of work, they know I am not going to pay thousands out of my own pocket just to hobby around and learn some new skill I may or may not benefit from so they give the software away for free which is awesome.
