    that's not true - by definition, you /are/ comparing it.

    your "argument" is my pedantry. many people wrongly portray digital as
    "accurate" when in reality, there's no greater accuracy whatsoever.

    just like dial gauges you mean?

    what vehicle /doesn't/ have a honking great gap between the steering
    wheel and the windshield? seriously dude, you're way off base on this one.

    That's not true. You can say one thing is accurate without comparing
    it to another. There's no need for comparison in the original context
    of the question.
    I am not many people, and I made no such statement. It's no wonder
    that so many people have you in their killfiles. The only real wonder
    is why I took you out of mine.

    I'm with you Joe about Jim Beam. He at times shows knowledge but his
    personality gets in the way of that knowledge and often lessens the
    value of many of his posts. Too often he resorts to name calling just
    because someone doesn't see it his way. Normally I'd call this
    immature but in his case, I think his problem is something else just
    not sure what that is.

    It would take much more than you are obviously capable of! I am glad I am
    way up here safely away from crash headed idiots like you....

    Brian don't be too harsh on Dave. Remember how bright Palin was in
    her Couric interview? I can only assume Alaska has special needs
    starting from the Govenor's office all the way down to the people.

    The really sad thing is if people have to resort to name calling
    showing how mature or bright they are, imagine who you could be
    driving next to? That's a scary thought.

    behold, the retard tries to disassociate himself from reality. pointing
    out that you are a retard is not "name calling", retard, it's simply a
    reflection of fact.

    yeah, i have a problem alright - i just can't resist confronting retards
    with their reality. see above, retard.

    then either post to a different thread or be more "accurate" about what
    you're trying to say - this whole thread is a comparison, hence the
    above comment.

    see above. your first post expressed enthusiasm for digital, with your
    reason being accuracy. if you just like digital, that's fine. if you
    appreciate accuracy, that's great too - i know i do. but they are not
    synonymous - as is conveyed when you try to reason one because of the
    other, which is exactly what you did..

    my, you must live in a cotton-wool ball if you don't like minor bumps.
    how do you hold down a job where management confronts you with reality
    about /real/ things like "performance" and "pay"?

    you, retard.

    You might want to re-read THIS thread. The question had nothing to do
    with a comparison, the guy just asked if people liked the digital in
    the civic.
    My first response expressed enthusiasm for the digital in my car, and
    made no comparison to any other. The only mention of Analog was in
    the fact that I like the placement of the digital in the Civic better
    than I like the placement of the analog in my Dodge truck, and never
    mentioned accuracy, one way or the other, of the analog.
    Management has never confronted me. I can't remember a single time
    where my annual performance reviews were not stellar, and my pay raise
    wasn't in line with that.

    Perhaps your experience in that field further explains your piss poor
    attitude and demeanor, and might be explained by your outrageous
    pedantry. Not a further problem here, though, you are back where you
    belong...

    You're right Guy. Dave *might* just be a passenger on the short white bus.
    It takes all kinds to make up this world, unfortunately a lot of them
    have computers and phones and have a basic knowledge of how to use that
    technology. :^)

    You mean like the obvious attempts by T&A Couric during that exchange. I
    refuse to call it an interview. Couric tried to talk down to Sarah but found
    that she was totally outclassed.

    Sorry to disappoint a Newfie but I have been using this technology as long,
    probably longer than you....

    <ACUTE_PEDANTRY>
    you said:
    "I wasn't sure if I'd like it or not, but it works great, is very accurate"

    that is a direct comparison between the dial gauge that you used
    previously, and digital. and you use the rationale of accuracy for
    "working great".

    it seems you didn't intend to mean that, but that is what your words
    convey. and i'm not contesting your taste, but i am contesting the
    rationale that "digital" is "accurate" because those are /not/ synonymous.

    untrue - you were comparing to to what you were used to previously.

    but you did the digital, and with the above comparison, you absolutely
    /do/ make the inference that digital is accurate.

    really??? and "stellar" performance means what exactly? annual pay
    raises of 10%? 30%? 100%? compounded, how many years did it take you
    to reach your current $1,000,000 p.a?

    get over it. pedants make cars work, planes fly, computers compute, and
    people who can't cook get out of the kitchen.

    I didn't expect you to understand nor will I bother to explain it to a
    person of your limitations.
