PC World is written by dumb dumbs

I used to like PC World, back when I was checking out the latest GeForce2 card, 256mb of RAM gaming machine with a screaming 800mhz pentium 3. Those were the days...

Sadly, PC World is now written seemingly by undergrads with a major in dumbass and a minor in Apple fanboy.

In fact, most people think that driving slowly, regardless of what lane you are in, whether you are merging onto a highway or holding up 50 cars behind you, means "being a good driver." Just because you have spent many years driving in the left lane at 65mph does not make you a good driver, in fact, just the opposite. A good driver means you know how to drive, not that you have gotten lucky or simply average for the past 10 years. Personally, I would love to see a class in high school devoted to driving. I think it could be fun and informative while greatly reducing the number of accidents (especially fatal ones) on the roads every year. Right now, the driving exam is basically a joke, it means that you know what the pedals...
