Interesting how the alternative model was used for most of the
driving (underdoses the NH3 to convert NO) but switched to the main
model during the conditions of NEDC testing. Man, they sure are
tricky.


If you're going to set a test for vehicles, better make it a good test
because companies will spend a *lot* of money to try and game it ... I
believe WLTP has now replaced NEDC.

General ramblings (with some Linux flavouring). (Was: Linuxfounder tells Intel to stop inventing 'magic instructions' and 'start fixingreal problems')

I know "could care less" is the US version of this expression, but
it'sÂ* inaccurate. Think about it: if you could care less, that
implies thatÂ* you do care a little - which is not what you mean; you
actually meanÂ* "couldn't care less".


My American trophy wife -- the ultimate word smith -- has
a "from and to" rule:

"I take something FROM you"

"I give something TO you"


Not sure how that relates to the "care less" discussion. If it relates
to the debate whether to us different from, different to, or different
than, I'm not sure how it would help there either.


It does not. It was just an interesting observation
between the US and the UK
