A 20% reduction in fuel costs on a $100 tank of gas 26 times a year is about $520 / year savings. That's an extra 5 tanks You mathmaticly declined fool.
There is no reason why you can't run Crysis at max on any regular resolution (including widescreen)
Or does your PC have 3K allocated like this
150 case (only if your looking for something really extravagant) 300 power supply (Really? no, this should be a touch lower (like 1/2?) 200 Mobo (any decent MOBO) 1000 processor (Top of the line Proc for said Mobo) 1000 4 gb of DDR3 Top speed RAM 150 HDD 600 HDD (assuming twin velociraptors.) and you forgot to buy a videocard?
First, lets post pictures of common *.iaa (note not capitalized out of lack of respect) leaders. Everywhere. This way they can't go out in public, without fear. Ask people to just politely ask them why they hate us why music & DVD's cost so much every time someone sees them. Ask why it costs more to buy a movie on DVD than it is to see it in a theater? Ask them why BlueRay is 3x the cost. Ask Politely but Furiously my friends.
Make them fear the public eye. Just like we can't connect to the interwebs w/o fear of legal action.
A rolling a 1 on a D20, while maybe not the best of odds, is a pretty good chance as n rolls increases.
If you had a 1/20 chance of winning say a free tank of gas every time you fill up at joes gas station, would you fill up there? Even if it cost a few pennies more / gallon?
I don't know about you but I fill up about 28 times / year @~ $60/tank. Even if gas was $.06 or even $.12 more / gallon it'd probably be worth it.
LoL @ car reference jokes to follow.
Really though the internet is massive. 5% isn't bad at all.
The real reason I ask this is for an app I work w/. I have to regularly burn large quantities of data, and the machine won't do a thing till I get a cd in. The CD's are individually shrinkwrapped. The main application calls a generic cd writing app (but I can't remember what it's called atm). So If I select the data and click burn, it sits there and waits for me to unshrinkwrap my dang CD. I just thought that w/ improved order of opperations, or a checkbox, we could speed that up by a sizeable magnitutde. (30 seconds off of a 300 second burn is 10%!)
P.S. they use a new carbon nanotube shrinkwrap used by INTEL, NASA, and was originally found in the desert surrounded by the remains of a "weather balloon".
Why do I have to stick my CD in the drive before it starts to convert (copy)files? What is the DEAL? Why doesn't it start doing that, and if I don't insert a CD by the time it's done ask if I still want to burn! Or make it a switch? UGGHHH

It's your job to inform your manager whether or not it's a good or a bad Idea to do whatever new someone wants to do w/in your sphere of influence.
Also while some advocate "just say no." It doesn't work for drugs, and it won't do squat for a client. Especially a mildly informed client that thinks (but thinks they "KNOW") damn near anything in software can be achieved w/ some effort. (IMHO it can) If you take that route, at least show them how it would be less economical.
For instance, a client just last night wanted 75G of data recovered to be burned to DVD. I wasn't going to go buy a column of dvds, and swap disks all night, while trying to divide it up all pretty. so I said no problem, 4 hrs at 75$/hr, or you can go buy an external drive at costco for 150$ and I'll do this for 1 hr @ $75/hr saving you $75 dollars. It wasn't too long before he said "I'll drop the external drive off on Monday."
There's tons of reasons to do something or not, but if you send it out to Management in these terms, you'll have the best response. 1. Economics 2. Your Liability 3. Decreased (or for a positive, Increased) RVU (more time taken to do less work) 4. Their Liabilty 5. Their increased/decreased RVU 6. Solve the problem, and make sure you make money off of it. Tell your boss that they should front the cost for a project for you to build a shadow server for them to work on. Think how much it'd cost to set it up, make it functional, then support it for 5 years. Write it out as a $ figure, and propose it. Become your own vender, sit the server at clients site, hope their bandwidth costs for shadowing the data is not too high, and reap in the $
It's not shadowing, but similar, where you work on a subset of the data (a subset that consists of the whole dataset, essentially a replication, but not in real time)
GOD the name escaping is killing me. DB was SO long ago. Anyone?
Someone is counting the number of something. Day one, it was 3. Day 2, 2. on day 4, 2 show up. Probably animals at a watering hole. Then one of them dies... or maybe the hunter kills it.
Then he starts analysis again, to see how long it takes for a 3rd to show again.
Can someoen please put this to music? it's killing me, I like to think that the |||'s are longer notes, and the |'s are shorter. Maybe backwards though too.
I just have a weird feeling about it.
Then I just got another Idea that's too good!
It's the intro to statistical analysis. Imagine (P.S. I have no effing Idea what the center part is) that this is a guy counting something. Maybe something like how many buffalo show up to the lake at a given day day one, he sees 3, 2, 3, 2, 3, 3, 3, 3, 1 1, 1, 2, 1, 3, 2,
He's not kidding about that too, there is no way to detect them. Metal detectors don't see em. You could just put one on the top of your head, walked through, head to starbucks, wait in line &"scratched your head", and cary on.
I would just ship the real harddrive in my checked luggage, and put a fake 40G drive w/ some mp3's some family pics, and a small amount of pr0n. (If there is absolutely no pr0n, that would be suspicious also) Then put whatever "sensitive" data in the other drive (w/ plausibly deniable encryption for the sensitive stuff). POOF, nothing they can do about that lest, they recall your bags from the plane.
Sir why do you have 2 hd's? One is for work, one is for play. Oh O.k.
Slashdot Mirror
is about 100mph. @ about 32 mpg at least that's what someone I know got when they tested it on a roadtrip from Oregon to Denver...
Paper coverings work great on Models, and would be awesome to build a plane with if we could scale it.
Me, a Stronger piece of paper could "become" the models instead of EP/EPP that we use now!
3/15 = 20%

No doubt! My work keyboard is a crapy HP stock POS.
My home Keyboard is a crapy for typing(but versital) G15.
One of those would make typing @ mork so much more fun!

Why do you allways do something like that when I am taking a drink?

Thank you, and come again.
Where I work, those effing Vampires would just use SPF 50 and make some lowpaid grunt bring the 55 gallon drum of it up the stairs to their office.
That was very insightful, and glad you got modded so!
