ETS

The shorter name for Enhanced Traction System used on cars to lower torque to the drive wheels allowing for more traction by using the ABS censors to read the speed of the wheels, if one slips it lowers the torque overall. It has a variety of ways to reduce torque by inhibiting the firing of the spark plug, cutting the amount of fuel to the combustion chamber, and/or up shifting. Also saves on gas a bit but, to me, seems to slow the cars acceleration. I could be wrong.

An engine brake in a semi inhibits the firing of the pistons like the ETS in a car. Fuel cutter is like when hitting the max speed a speed governor will allow, it cuts fuel only the ETS is more subtle. The up shifting should be obvious, it lowers rpm thereby lowering torque.

ETE

1. ETE- Exploit the Environment: A graffiti cult in NYC led by the masterminds Teny, Tiffany, and Katrin. While the cult's common signature is simply ETE, it can also contain messages or drawings. ETE is less "legal" than ETU*, but being comprised of high school kids, they do watch out and make sure nothing is permanently or stupidly tagged.

*ETU- Exploit the Urban: A less-exclusive ETE with more members whose primary tools are pens, pencils, or chalk, and whose scope of vandalization includes posters, desks, and other school equipment. More than half most high school kids can recognize the top artists' signatures within a glance; all ETE/U members are extremely talented artists and never mark something poorly.

ETE likes to vandalize posters, especially those that are marketed with products, surveys, media, etc.

ETE does not like to use bubble-letters, mainly because ETE was created by unique artists with a different, preferred handwriting style. ETE members consider handwriting an art form and can write in 7 different languages, including Russian, Japanese hirigana + katakana, Chinese kanji, Korean, Arabic, Armenian, Greek, Cryllic, and occaisionally, Latin. ETErs don't have one distinct handwriting style.

Some of ETE's messages include, "Darwin loves America" and, "Exploit our Children". They have a better time, however, getting their messages across when the poster they're vandalizing has to do with something particularly funny or ridiculous. Example: Tagging a News Channel poster with, "War is Fun!"

ETE's idea originated from Teny's Biology class, where the teacher had once said, "This world... we're so ignorant, hurting the environment like this, ruining our own lives... exploiting the environment, and we'll never stop" Months later after looking back at her notes, the three decided to use that as their mark.

et

"et" is the short form of CastleWolfenstein EnemyTerritory. EnemyTerritory is a 3D-Multiplayer-Shooter wich is very popular. It is the third part of CastleWolfenstein. The first one was an pretty old DooM-like game called Wolf3D, the second one was in stores about 8 (or sth) years later and called Return to Castle Wolfenstein. The 3rd game called EnemyTerritory is like CastleWolfenstein but better. The biggest difference between RTCW and ET is that ET is a free mp(Multiplayer)-only game.

Would you like to join my new et clan??
-Yeah, i love to play et.
