why not to buy a Ford

With proper design that won't happen.... no wait it is the auto industry we are talking about here :>

Those computers all fit into the "that sort of thing" class of my comments. They are specialized processors that are designed to do the task. They aren't some sort of windoze running general purpose CPU.

I think that may car has far fewer than that but it also has a lot less features to run. I don't have a compass or outside temperature display. The heater doesn't have a thermostat to control the temperature.

My 4WD Ranger would. ;-) It lived through six years of Vermont winters. I don't like the concept of AWD.

Manual PWM? All the heaters I've seen are either automatic PWM or manual analog. I prefer the analog variety.

I used to amuse myself by leaving a lab thermometer in my '61 Renault Dauphine when parked at the Motorola SPD facility at 52nd & McDowell.

Typical interior temperature (summer) when I was leaving work at

That car did not have A/C :-(

Serves you right for goofing off and leaving early. ;)

I see lots of Subarus around Orlando;mostly WRX's,some Foresters. Good for beach driving!

yet surprisingly,Vermont allows concealed and open carry of guns,with NO permit required. (and no "blood running in the streets,no Wild West shootouts)

The only state in the US to have gotten the Second Amendment right.

I use the high temps in my car for curing epoxy projects. :-) Florida sun really heats up a car quickly. Coupla hours in the trunk and the epoxy is cured nicely.

Hours were 8AM to 4:3PM

So does Alaska, with the added benefit of a permit available, if desired. It's easy to get a permit here in AL, too. It took a week and $20, but no big deal.

Wrong. See above.

The stories GM engineers told me about the unions made you want to vomit. UAW members I knew bragged about how little work they actually did.

Not just at G.M, I'm sure.

M.B.A = Masters in Business Assassination

Modern M.B.A strategy = 1. Get in. 2.Spin off the profitable assets. 3. Buy the stock back using asset money. 4 Flip max profits for a few years at the cost of steady long term growth, thus fooling potential stockholders 5. Sell the stock! 6. get out quickly before stock falls. 7. Take a golden parachute for bankrupting the company.

1. Do it again some place else.

Can you tell I hate MBAs?

Just my 2 cents...

??? if the car's not moving there is no wear on the brakes.

Apparently it's also the #1 state in which technology startups incorporate (although most don't locate actual operations there), due to the relatively strict financial reporting requirements (the companies may not particularly like this feature, but investors do).

Alaska only RECENTLY changed their law. Vermont has had it right for a very long time. Perhaps from the beginning?

You're an idiot. No, I did not "say I live in Cinci." No, you do not "see". No, I am not defending anyone. No I do not know anyone working there, and no, they are not a devil worshiping company, you retarded little pussy.

OK. That requires live processing.

Is a bus a processor?

A thermal controller can be implemented with zero microcontroller requirements. Also, it is an accessory, because the basic standard DOT mirror has no such animal.

Accessory. Even the "memory" device could be implemented with no need for a microcontroller.

Inertial triggers do not have microprocessors, nor do they need them. It is a transducer as described before.

Accessory. I guess you are unable to read.

Get off your bus horse, boy.

You're an idiot.
