Gendarmes on ZZR1400

From another place:

"They have recently signed an agreement with Kawasaki for the supply of
some 50 Kawasaki ZZR 1400 for their Fast Interception Brigade....the 190 hp
motorcycle has had its delimiters removed and can now travel at speeds of
over 315 kph/ 195 mph (tested!)."

Surely if they removed the delimiters, it'd become limited?

I thought you worked in IT?

I do.

A delimiter is a boundary, not a cap.

Yes, yes.. but now let's go back to the original statement. Can you
tell me what a "delimiter" would be on a motorcycle, because I'm
convinced it'd be a device to de-limit something previously limited.
So, the bike has had it's "limiter" removed, not it's delimiter.

I don't know why such a simple thing is annoying me, but for some reason
it is. I think I need a holiday.

A bit like the splash screen on Windoze 2K.
"Built on NT Technology"
That translates in my book to "Built on New Technology Technology!"

Always get me annoyed when I see it.

/* Quote:

It is popularly believed that Dave Cutler intended the initialism "WNT"
as a pun on VMS, incrementing each letter by one, similar to the
apocryphal story of Arthur C. Clarke deriving HAL 9000's name by
decrementing each letter of IBM. While this would have suited Cutler's
sense of humor, the project's earlier name of NT OS/2 belies this
theory. Another of the original OS/2 3.0 developers, Mark Lucovsky,
states that the name was taken from the Intel i860 processor—code-named
"N-Ten"—which served as the original target hardware. Various Microsoft
publications, including a 1998 question-and-answer session with Bill
Gates[3], reveal that the letters were expanded to "New Technology" for
marketing purposes but no longer carry any specific meaning.

You need to get out more.

Room for 2 on that holiday?

But, errors aside, what are the odds they use them on the road to
Calais?

The area around St Quentin is where I've seen most speed trap activity.
