I think this is the sentence in the license agreement that convinces people otherwise: "Please remember, your right to use Solaris acquired as a download is limited to a trial of 90 days, unless you acquire a service contract for the downloaded Software." http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/get.jsp
Installed Yggdrasil on my awesome new 486, 8 Megs of memory, 250 meg drive with the cool "ftape" tape drive.
Anyway, to shrink its memory footprint, I recompiled the kernel with no networking. When I noticed that there was still networking code in it, I took matters into my own hands and started ripping out all the networking code that remained.
After I compiled and booted THAT, it was noticeably smaller! But stuff like X quit working. Phooey.
Here's THE book on efficient flying of a piston engine, but there is some applicability to driving:
"The Logic of Flight, The Thinking Man's Way to Fly" http://www.propellersexplained.com/
It's recently written by Jack Norris, who (among many other things) was the technical director of the Voyager round-the-world flight. He knows more about efficiently running a piston engine through the air than anybody ever.
Here's a brief summary: http://www.aopa.org/aircraft/articles/2008/080825asi.html
The key in long-haul driving is balancing engine efficiency against drag. Since drag goes up as the square of velocity, doubling your speed causes a quadrupling of drag. That's why driving more slowly, as long as you're in the top gear and running the engine efficiently, saves fuel.
I heard from an MIT friend this past weekend that they had to drop out because Michelin yanked support for using their tires at the last minute, and that was going to knock a few other schools out of the race as well.
I did a little RTFA. The original article, in different places, says 352, 253, and 235. I can't really fault/. for this; the original article is fairly replete with suckitude.
They need to update the shrink-wrap license description:

My first thought was that your email habits follow your real-world habits.
I think that everyone would do well to learn at least a little bit about the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myers-Briggs_Type_Ind icator/ and what it says about the personality traits of you and those around you.
One catch phrase I recall is that MBTI Ps make files, Fs make piles. My wifeis an ESFJ and very organized, for which I'm thankful every day. I'm an INTP, and I havepiles of books, magazines, mail, whatever all over the place.
The organization force is very weak in me, and periodically I have to sit down and reorganize my (life, mailbox, pilot/airplane logbooks, ?). I try to stay organized, but I've never been able to do it for an extended time. I'm trying, though.
In defense of our Slashdot overlord, it says "Trustworthy", not "Trusted". And it's not like Hemos made it up, either - that's the verbatim headlne SANS/Mr. Liston put on the article.
And the CPU usage is also basically a quote from the SANS site: "On busy networks, this will lead to 100% CPU utilization of the Snort process and major packet drops." http://isc.sans.org/diary.php
I did my first 30 hours or so of flying lessons with the USAF aero club at the former Kelly AFB, TX (http://www.airnav.com/airport/KSKF), 11550 x 300'. The club had a strict limit on allowed crosswinds, being something like 8 kts for junior pilots. I tried to argue that by angling across that huge runway I could always get the crosswind component below 8 kts, but they wouldn't hear of it.
You could take off into a breeze on a cold day, climb to pattern altitude, and land without having to make a single turn.
You didn't want to land on the numbers and have to taxi 2 miles in the hot summer heat...

Count your blessings. A page on the Atari 800 was only 256 bytes.

Okay, try a dictionary. I think he typoed and meant "nisi".

The really skilled use things like GOTO DEPENDING in COBOL, and a computed GOTO in Fortran.
I always preferred writing self-modifying machine code.
"nisp ignorantem"? What the heck is "nisp"?
What are you trying to pull here?

Doesn't that make you nearly 100 years old?

On the very first page of the last issue was an editorial saying that it was, in fact, the last issue.
I'm guessing that the magazine gathers dust on shelves if nobody knew about this until now.

Then why not just make the deadline for two months and get it done early?
What? We're not all using PINE? I'm the only one?
Yes, I am a geezer. I thought Virtual Console was reached with alt-F[1234567]. I am over Lynx, though.
Who's up for some Zork?
What is a virtual console? I'm guessing I don't get to it with alt-F2...
What if you stick your lightsaber into a mirror - does it reflect back?

Open the hard drive (get some Torx T-7 through T-9 bits first, you'll probably need them), pull the platters, and sand them.

Right... if it hadn't been for Slashdot, I'd have never known about any of it!
