    Actually I didn't forget the quotes as the software is neither pirated or paid for (Unless you count a few hours time for each title), but maybe I should have worded the first line different.

    Launch events is where you get the MS stuff for free.

  12. Re:Details on benefits on What Questions Should a Prospective Employee Ask? · · Score: 1

    My current job (+1yr Medical device R&D/Production, I'm on the R&D side) I didn't ask some of these questions and found out the hard way some of the things I took for granted of ALL of my past jobs was not included. Jury duty being paid, typically turn over your $19/day jury pay and get your normal check. Nope. Bereavement, usually 3 days paid off for immediate family, 1 day other family. Nope. Insurance price typical in industry. Nope $650/month, usually paid $250-300/month before, wound up getting it on my own for about $400/month.

    On the plus side, 2 weeks from the start, "overtime" (at straight pay) over 40 hrs and I'm salaried, very good work environment. The only real stress I have is the stress I put on myself.

  13. Smokey Yunick's adiabatic engine on Laser Ignition May Replace the Spark Plug · · Score: 2, Interesting

    http://www.eng-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=78116&page=1
    FTL
    For those of you not in the know, Smokey Yunick was a legendary race car mechanic and Popular Science correspondant. He died a couple of years ago. In March 1983 Popular Science carried a story about an engine he had developed that only had two cylinders and 78 cubic inches but developed 150 hp and got 60 mpg when installed in what looks like a Volkswagon Rabbit. He called it his "adiabatic engine." Supposedly all sorts of car companies were quite interested in the engine.

    When I see this I will belive the oil companies have given up.
