If it works, why touch it :P

Also, a lot of people still use Windows in a server environment because of commercial development happens a lot more on the Windows platform than Unix. Also, sometimes it might be because of ease of use by certian people.

I've always been fascinated by police car designs (I like designing things, and I plan to become a police officer, so go figure), and I always found Pittsburgh's cruisers to be hideous. I think they can finally be welcomed to the 21st century! I really like their new outfitted Impalas. Go ahead, call me a loser. :bleh:


2005 v. 2008



Sure beats the designs of Penn Hills' new squad cars. :footinmouth:

Many municipalities here have been going back to using black and white police cruisers. Almost all of the cars are Crown Victorias here.

Most of the police cruisers around here are Ford Crown Victorias, but the other day I saw a Dodge Charger. I also think we have some SUVs, either Chevy Suburbans or Ford Explorers... Today, I saw a county sheriff cruiser that was a Chevy Impala.

Up at school, they have a mixture of Ford Crown Victorias, Dodge Intrepids, and a Ford Explorer.

Bensalem just purchased new cars within the past year or two, all of which are black and white Ford Crown Victorias, Explorers, and E-Series Vans. In Marlton, most of what I see are just Crown Victorias, also black and white cars purchased within the past two years. Occasionally I still see the older white cruisers.

Barrington bought all new 2007 Dodge chargers last year. Replaced their entire fleet. They are all black, with some sort of cool design on them. they look great.

I think I heard that Wheel of Fortune uses MS-DOS for their wheel lighting system since it was the easiest to control.

Price is Right might also be using DOS for lighting controls on certain games (Make Your Move comes to mind).
