I think I got the least amount out of everyone. I'm a weird one I guess.

Cool site.

No problem, if there's anything else you need just tell me.

Tell me if this works for you.

I searched it on Google Images.

Hmm... and Google didn't have any? That's strange.

What kind of pictures are you looking for?

I don't know about videos, but there are several websites that you can go to find what you're looking for.

Myspace has awesome tutorials for HTML, that's how I learned everything I know about it. ;)

Schizophrenia is scary.

Wow... I didn't know that.

Really?

I'm thinking about actually getting a hybrid for my next car. Although a lot of people say it's the same. You pay a couple thousand more on the car because it's a hybrid but you would be paying that amount anyway a year for gas. I don't know though.

I hope gas prices go down, although it will never happen. :(

I hate him still. I just think that he is misunderstood ;)

Same here.

I was referring to Rashakil, not linux. In other words, if Rashakil Fol tells linux that you think he's dumb, I suppose that justifies you in saying that Rashakil's an idiot?

Regardless, think of it this way: you would probably think of someone as a fool if they used the internet and didn't know what Google was, correct? So by linking to Google, you're basically saying (I know it was unintentional) that the OP is in fact, a fool. So Rashakil's comment isn't actually that far off.

Actually it is completely 'off.' Rashakil had no right to tell linux that I thought he was dumb, which I in fact was not trying to imply. (Haven't I already said that??...) Rashakil just simply 'put words in my mouth.' So you can stop trying to "justify" your friend's mistake.
And btw: I've had plenty of people tell me to look a certain subject up on google and I had no hard feelings against them for that statement.

>he told linux that I thought he was dumb.
And you've never called him anything dumb or idiotic before?

Umm of course not! I don't even know him.

linux is correct for the most part. While it was a "suggestion", it's not as if you didn't expect him to think of trying that first, right? By suggesting something simple, you'd better be sure that it works. Or perhaps it's just the way you worded your post. Subtle things, like providing a link to Google; it makes it sound like the OP doesn't know what Google is.

Okay you may be right, and I see what you are saying but I sincerely didn't mean it to be an insult.
What does OP stand for?

And how is Rashakil Fol ignorant?

Rashakil is ignorant for this reason: he told linux that I thought he was dumb. Although nothing I suggested even swayed to that kind of statement. All it does is create conflict. So if it wasn't ignorance... was it simply stupidity?

She thinks you're dumb.

Everything in Canada is more expensive, why?
Even the gas is...

[edit]

For the record Linux, I don't think you're dumb.
Please disregard Rashakil's ignorance.

Diesel is less expensive here...
isn't it?

I did Google it. And I don't see why you should insult someone's intelligence by linking to Google.

Google doesn't give any results on it.

I wasn't insulting you... ??

It was just a suggestion.

I don't know...
Try googling it. ;o)

The price of a barrel of crude oil is cheaper than it was a year ago at this time yet we are experiencing record gas prices?!?

Yes, I have also heard this. And honestly, it blows my mind! Can someone please explain why we are paying more for gas even though the barrels are somehow cheaper?

Anyway, gas around here is $3.10

Yeah... why did you think it was messed up socom(psp)?

I got a 2.
lol.

What's weird is the fact that he was Jewish. =/

Too bad he was psychotic. =p

Wow, haven't learned about that in history yet.

I think the autobahn is a good idea. I don't know how it would work in America though. People could satisfy their speed hunger and there would be less illegal drag racing. If people need to get somewhere real fast they can and it isn't illegal. Anyone that gets on it realizes that it will be somewhat dangerous and will be more cautious (hopefully). It might be useful for a wider spread emergency too.

Is the autobahn just a huge straight stretch? I don't know much about it.

Welcome to Daniweb SillyBilly! :)

Germans use Audi which has four wheel drive ~ so pretty safe there
Merc benz have developed a car that can automaticly apply the brakes when the driver gets too close to the car infront.
Damn these people are clever.........

Yeah, German cars are niiiice!
But four wheel drive doesn't ensure safety.

well to be honest bennet isnt totaly right
the autobahn in many areas has no speed limit
allowing you to go at whatever speed you want!

Oh my goodness. Are they any wrecks that occur there?

55?

you should so come over here. Its 30 in resedential areas and like 70 (most people do 75-80 though and just slow down for the cameras) on the motorway (speed limit is allegely 100 on the german autobahn ;) )

WOW.
That's ridiculous!!

today i pushed just under 85 in a 70mph zone for about an hour... but that's because on the way home from a meeting i lucked up and got behind a cherry red porche turbo that was clocking close to 90... i kept him in front of me a ways as a decoy ;x

Yeah, I usually go about 10 - 15 mph over the normal speed limit on the highway.
Here, the speed limit is 55... and I usually go around 65 - 70. (But of course, I have a good lookout at the same time...) ;)

Oh my goodness.
80 in a 35... that's crazy!

yes, we don't want to be criminals. (publicly, at least..)
;)

Last time I checked, I think Playbody had a tech article or two.:icon_biggrin:

Hey hey now... quit that!
;)

we never get big american cars like those here ;(

Really? Why?

pty...I didn't get my first decent break in the cost of my insurance until I turned forty, and just realized my second decent break at the ripe ole age of fifty five. I have a friend that waited until he turned fifty five so that he could better afford the insurance on his dream car, a 2003 fiftieth annaversay issue Corvette.

POST #7 ^
If I was at all, 'off subject,' then this is certainly derailing the topic also! You were obviously talking about a Corvette but became very angry with me because I discussed what I drove after you posted this little comment. How can you say that I was off topic for talking about my grand am and driver's education when you posted a comment before me discussing your friend's dream car?!?! Hypocrisy is not a good thing.

Uh oh, you better not! dcc will give you a bad rep for having a blonde attitude. Psshtt, I'm brunette for heaven's sake!
;)

Enjoy the chat room kids, it's all yours.

We aren't even off topic!!
Quit overreacting! (for the 3rd time..)
This thread is about teenage drivers, and OBVIOUSLY, that is what we have been talking about! It's not like someone just started discussing what they're going to have for dinner.

:)
I don't know why dcc seems to be such an angry person and have such a negative attitude. You gave me a bad rep because I'm 'blonde?' Which I am not, at all. So I guess you had a good reason?

That's a shame.
I would say grow up, but you are what... 50? =/ You should already be mature enough... but I guess not, huh?

Inattentive drivers are road hazards. I think teens tend to fit a profile of inattentiveness (when I encounter them -- which is not regularly). There are too many other groups that fit the profile as well. Old, cell-phoners, out-of-area folks, etc. Some are trying and doing a poor job. Others just suck at it.

This is very true. I, myself, have been one of those who don't pay attention from time to time. But it is very rare. I think that is the number 1 reason for why there are so many 'bad drivers.'
(teens especially...) - We tend to boom out our music so loud that the person's car next to us can feel the vibrations. And we also try to 'look cool' with loads of distracting peers in one car, chatting on our cell phones, laying our seats back so far that you can't tell anyone is driving it, not wearing our seat belts, multitasking, and several other factors that contribute to 'not paying attention.'

Yes Christina...your 98 grand am with all those miles was really nailing this topic...your turn.

Okay sweetheart, I messed up with one little post. You win. Now can we stop this nonsense?

If this thread was about surgery you would be comparing scars and thinking that it was germane to the topic. Are you sure you're not really blonde????

No, I'm a brunette who is smart and knows what she is talking about. This thread is about teenagers who drive, mine and Infarctions conversation was about teenagers who take driver's education in high school. Which is obviously and completely on topic.

If this thread was about surgery, then we were talking about classes that doctors must take in medical school to be considered a surgeon.

Think about what you say before you post, you make absolutely no sense whatsoever. And congratulations, you have 'derailed' your own thread.

Excuse me? But we were not off topic AT ALL.
We were talking about DRIVER'S education. Isn't this thread titled 'Are teens bad drivers?'

Wow, calm down dcc.

Oh my goodness. That's ridiculous! Did you get any benefits from it? (lower insurance)

Lucky? Maybe. I had to pay for everything car related (drivers ed, car, car insurance, etc...), and they weren't the nicest cars in the parking lot. I started with an '86 Toyota Tercel station wagon bought from a co-worker, then a '95 Ford Escort bought at an auction, then a '92 Nissan 240SX (sweet car if I'd been able to sink money into it) from a neighbor, and just recently a '97 VW Jetta (only because the 240SX was wrecked).

Definitely puts a different spin on it when you have to pay for everything though :icon_wink:

Ahh, I see. ;)
I have a '98 grand am with 100,000+ miles on it. But oh well, as long as it gets me from point A to point B.

(Don't they offer driver's ed for free? - They do here.)
