How about kinetic energy itself? If you know *what* produces power to induce kinetic energy into the vehicle but not *how* the laws of physics govern kinetic energy; what damn good is that going to do for you? How about some basics of safe/defensive driving? How about considering the good of the many instead of the you? > There's a difference between comprehension and jumping through hoops.

I wish they would stand firm and put up a fight instead they're just cowards spewing more endless tripe. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
