    By 2025 cars will need to average 54.5 mpg. How would this be done?

    No, that's not why the went backwards. Cars in the 1970's got horrible gas mileage because gas was so cheap. When the oil crisis hit gas prices skyrocketed. All of a sudden consumers demanded more fuel efficient cars and automakers produced them. By the early 1980's you had a lot of small...

    My big brother, my hero, my mentor, my friend has died.

    I'm sorry to hear that man. Horrible news this time of year.

    How many people that joined 10yrs ago are still posting here?

    Is there any way the mods can look up my old account to see when I joined? I know it was in 1997 but I've since lost that account and don't think it exists anymore.

    How many people that joined 10yrs ago are still posting here?

    I joined sometime in 1997, so it's probably closer to 12 years for me. I had a different screen name back then. If you go to the Wayback machine and go to the earliest archive for the Anandtech BBS, I'm listed on that page: link I joined looking for information about the K6.

    Just found an old news paper

    They used to call graphite black lead back then. It's not real lead.

    Driver Deaths by Make & Model

    I think this study tells you more about the drivers than it does about the cars.

    Corvette C7 to be released in 2012 as a 2013 model

    There is no such thing as "free energy". It all has to come from somewhere. It takes a certain amount of energy to compress the incoming air, and you can be certain that the compressor will put more load on the turbine (which drives it). The claim that that becomes some kind of perpetual...

    Why kids suck at math today

    I disagree. There is nothing wrong with spending money on a grade school playground, and making people go to school longer isn't the answer to the problem. People need to have a mentality where learning is a lifelong endeavor, it should be something that they want to do, not be forced to do...

    Serena Williams goes nuts at the US Open

    And some white guys prefer black women because they're easier. How does that work?

    Is wattage comparable between electrical devices?

    I have a question for you: The spec sheet says that it's 115 volts and 1.5 amps. Then it says the wattage is 100 watts. Shouldn't 115x1.5= 172.5 watts?

    Are people of mixed race healthier?

    I think your belief that mixed race children are smarter than non-mixed race children is fundamentally wrong. You're making it sound as if the chance of an intelligent couple having intelligent kids vs. not-so-intelligent kids is 50/50 since there are 2 choices. However, that is not how...

    Are people of mixed race healthier?

    I just listened to it and it doesn't negate anything I said. As I said before: "You could also explain the same affect by claiming that more intelligent parents are likely to have a better vocabulary, and by inheritance, their children will have a higher intelligence whether they've ever...
