Everyone complains about companies outsourcing, but has anyone ever see any actual studies on Insourcing vs. Outsourcing? From my browsing around it looks to me like it's actually more beneficial to the economy.
We insource a LOT more than we outsource: "The U.S. Department of Commerce reports that, in 2003, the United States bought $77.38 billion in services from foreign countries and sold $131.01 billion to them" and "according to the McKinsey Global Institute, for every $1 outsourced, the economic gain to the United States as a whole is $1.12 to $1.14"
Can anyone find a link with some good info on the evils of outsourcing?
Oil should be changed a few times a year. Plus it should be checked regularly in case any leaks pop up.
Some cars are still realtivly easy to work on: Jeeps and trucks are usually the easiest. But, overall the extra wiring for sensors and cramped engine compartments make new cars a pain.
I love working on my cars ('89 Jeep with a Chevy V8, and a '86 Jaguar with a '95 Corvette engine). Both cars are easy to work on and cheap to maintain. The Jeep I don't even need to jack up to change the oil! The Jag has a lot more wiring, but a V8 in a V12 engine bay leaves a lots room to play.
And speaking of engine fires - I saw a guy's beautifully restored classic get an engine fire on the road. The guy popped the hood and cut the radiator hose to put the fire out. It worked like a charm! He just got back in his car and drove it home (He may have had to stop a few times to keep his car from overheating). Having easy access to the $10 radiator hose saved his car.
Hmm... I wonder what a few hundred of these UV UV LEDs could do.
Maybe if Cisco would start using these on their gear, I could probably have a year round tan!
check out this site for a ton of info on hacking cars with fuel injection. It doesn't get updated very often (many links are dead), but there is some good info to be found if you're interested
I've got an '94 LT1 in my '86 Jaguar XJS. It runs 14sec 1/4mi at ~100mph. Crosses the finish line in 2nd gear (running 2.88 gears) and can get over 30mpg with long hwy driving. Car computer hacked with LT1Edit by Carputing.
here's some info I found about the source of the data. It's copied from http://www.3dnow.net/
It appears that more bits have been found out about the source of these "Acer" benchmarks. Found this posted on the forum: "This is a fake benchmark perpetrated by a guy who called himself AcermanPS. He lurks around at a Thai webboard called www.pantip.com at tech-exchange section. He claimed to be working for Acer in Singapore but his IP address comes from Kasetsart University in Bangkok, Thailand. He is the same guy who, a few months ago, claimed that he can overclock Celeron 300A to 600 MHz using only a fan. When pressed, for details, he defaulted with no proof whatsoever."
