In 1994, he finally got his dream. Little did he know that the car he was about to design -- the Prius -- would revolutionize the global auto industry.
Uchiyamada, 61, now executive vice president, was tackling the first mass production gas-electric hybrid, which celebrates its 10th anniversary in December.
With other engineers, he trudged away at 16-hour work days, patiently testing hundreds of engines. Fistfights broke out over what option to take to overcome engineering obstacles."
wow... I would love to work on *anything* with a team that is so passionate about their product.

This season has been awesome, this Rally Japan just gone was amazing - and some of the accidents are incredible, the driving is awesome.
Petter Solberg on day 1 in his Subaru went over a crest on a right hander and 3/4 slid off the track, he slid back on to the track sideways and his front grill scraped against a railing on the opposite side of the road.
A few minutes later, his brother Henning took the same corner in his Ford, you can barely tell the footage apart of the 2, they handled the accident absoloutely identically, the angles the car slid, the car ending up facing hard 90' right and just sliding, it was incredible.
On top of that, there's only 2 rallys left this season and we still don't know who the winner will be - it's a really great season (and about time)

It looks like there are two song packs coming out soon:
* Three songs from Foo Fighters
* Three songs from Velvet Revolver

I'm sure they'll be depressingly overpriced. I want those Foo Fighters songs though. :(

Think there's any sense in trying to get it up and running on a 1.5GHz Athlon/GF6600/2GB box? It's ancient at this point, but I'm hoping setting things low will at least be playable?

8800GT Question: thanks to oatmela :)
Does anyone have this new hotness paired with an older processor? I've got an x2 4200 @ 2.64Ghz, 2GB RAM, yada yada. I can't find any benches that don't have processors that are much better than mine. Since getting this vid card would also involve a new mobo to get me PCIE, I would like to make sure that it would be worth it vs. just waiting and getting all new stuff. But, $350 < $900, so that's also a factor. Thanks!

Shackers, I've been working on a new AltPostForm, and it's to the point where I can at least post it for some good old fashioned testing. Sadly, I cannot do certain things, such as update the actual post form after composing a message, but I can at least give you some WYSWIG <3 so you can see what your typing.
