- increase tire pressure by 2 psi - accelerate very slow - drive with lowest rpm possible and shift up immediately, at 1000/1500 rpm - turn engine off at red lights - after 10 sec off it's beneficial - downhill coast and turn engine off (you gotta know what you are doing - PS fails and break booster as well after a while)
brings something like 10 - 20 % increase in city, on Hwy going 45 more.
Postet this before and got heat for the turning off down-hill. I am doing it where possible and I feel like - you can do what you want, not my business.
"Interprocess communication mechanism for heterogeneous computer process"
Wouldn't you think it takes somebody with double-blind eyes to file a patent on this? Actually, this seems to be an attempt to highjack the Internet - who would want to try such a thing?
Seems to me that you cannot download any "upgrades/fixes" unless you download WGA - at least that happens in some (non-US) distributions. In US distributions, you apparently have a choice to avoid installing WGA and keep updating.
The weapons show off/play may be true. The "we" word sucks big time. There is only individuals and when they give up their responsiblity for an abstract "idea" - be it religion, country, political/ethnic association, they become victims for manipulation.
That's one symptom of total blindness to what is really going on causing great suffering. I love the "we had to defend our country in Vietnam"..... sure, follow the money, but that's a secret.
Mail only: not possible AFAIKS, so Yahoo = lotsa SPAM in your email - if you neglect to access it for a longer period (3/6 month) one had to go through a elaborate procedure to get it reestablished or whatever hassle there is. So, it's select all -> SPAM periodically.
Btw. I tried filling up the account with data (large image attachments) to exhaust the allowed limit and then emails would bounce - forget it with the "unlimited" feature - didn't even try again....
the amount of SPAM I get on my single Yahoo email account is tremendous.
To distinguish legimate emails is difficult, so the "select all -> SPAM" is the option for me to deal with this.
This email account is actually an annoyance - I tried closing it - impossible with more than reasonable effort. So - it's the quick SPAM option since I am no longer using this account.
In comparison - my several Gmail accounts do not attract very much SPAM and if so they get filtered.
My conclusion is that Yahoo's SPAM filters are not very much up to snuff.
Suppose the DHS decides it wants a permanent archive of who was where, when? That this is not already happening and cannot be disclosed in the interest of national security to fight terrorism?
nana nana nana - I hear you...
And - if you are not in support of this happening well... you are a terrorist!
45 minute "walk" every day in rural area. GPS in pocket to track route. Digital Camera/Cell Phone in pocket to record whatever is worth it - can also be used to threaten cars on crosswalks to stop for you by pointing it in the oncoming car's direction. Heart rate monitor (Polar-type) running to stay in elevated HR range and dump data onto computer to see how we are doing - calories burnt, HR curve, exercise calendar etc. Keep HR elevated between 65 and 75 % of max HR (can be determined in serveral ways - does actually not matter much which way). HR monitor can be set to beep when in/out of target range. If you get too much out of the upper range in one run, notch the HR window up by 5 clicks. If you get too much out of the lower limit in one run, notch the HR window down by 5 clicks. Try to keep the HR in the middle of the two limits. Keep serval ranges in HR monitor to switch to one's liking (sometimes not feeling too well or having a lot of juice). Several challenges can arise - some may be related wanting to go faster - even run?: - actually meet friendly people doing similar activities - need to increase route due to speed increase - need to change route due do getting bored - weather, need to adjust to cold/warm rain/snow - injuries - can happen - overexcercising - getting greedy in attaining higher heartrates etc. Takes one hour/day and it's self-perpetuating/addictive after about 1 month i. e. gives so much juice to one's live that one does not want to stop. I am on it for over a year now and think the actual challenge is to integrate the routine into one's life - midnight or early morning and to get over the first month to feel the boost. Interesting side-effect: My aim at the waste basket surprisingly got much better.
Producing lime creates CO2 - putting it in sea water absorbs double the amount - net effect from this is 1/2 gain.
OK - and what's the overall net gain including the effort of creating the lime, transporting and distributing it? Anyone seen such an estimate?
Looks to me it could be the same silliness as with ethanol fuel - clearing rain forest for corn and driving up food prices world-wide.
Sounds to me that cutting war budgets and investing into renewable resources instead - immediately - sounds more like it - or will it take a couple more Katrinas to get a mood change? Perhaps so....
At least those can be opened with a box cutter/stanley knife where other clear armor plastic encasings can cause self-injury and anger tantrums/building damage.
A-N-Y customer service nowadays has degraded - they got outsourced to another country and they get most likely paid by the number of calls processed.
One method is to start yelling and screaming i. e. getting loud and sound frustrated - with people in India, where many call centers are located, they are not able to handle "loudness" well and chances are high that your call gets advanced to a better trained rep. Another method is to state that there is a communication problem or there is no progress in this issue and request to talk to a manager.
Quest is another hit! If one uses their web email customer interface and types in a message with all the other "credentials" names, street addresses and what else have you (can't check right now - all tabs bring "Sorry, page not available") then send it off only to get all your message sent back in an email and asked to call or chat with them - and yes - they are an ISP as well!!!
And - call centers are changing a lot - getting a few cents more from another Co. - canceling and changing over right away. All contributes to more effort on customer side to get needed information.
Would I ever throw that much dough in a certain direction? Even if I get it for free, I would not use that stuff privately as a matter of principle. W2K for windows stuff, all else is Debian - case closed. Call me antiquated.
-yeah, encrypted web surfing/email for the masses is happening and Tor has lightning access speed.
It's just not reality at this point and will it ever be? So, your premise to arrive on your conclusion to "no need to care" is not a given, it's a cloud castle.
Have you ever counted or even looked at the 1 pixel images embedded into web sites? I encountered a recent ridiculous one from a Yahoo access - something like that:
us.bc.yahoo.com/b?P=FjLh6UWTUG8MnHdaSGkxXR + over 1000 characters more
To load 1 PIXEL!!!!!
There is tons of that stuff embedded in web sites. And that's got nothing to do with 2-way communication whatsoever.
Wo tracks it, who controls it, who sells and buys it? Are the neurons in Sentat's heads interlinked enough to grok this?
Highly doubtful - and they (the trackers) will fight tooth and nail about it to keep it that way.
We all are paying for the free ride to information with our privacy.
A - EBay is a medium to connect buyers and sellers, nothing more.
B - This was a non-issue from the start.
Dream on...
A - Ebay is a money making machine and de-facto monopoly on online auctions.
B - Ebay owns PayPal - their auction interfaces are strongly interlinked and incentives in PayPal "Buyer protection" are predominanty shown on every(?) auction.
Look at 10 auctions and count non-PayPal (quick - CC) payments accepted - I found NONE!
They can easily effort dropping enforcement of PayPal - they get it anyway. Maybe it was dumb to try it in that manner.
If in a particular species individuals prevail for a short term but long term destroy their habitat, the species fails to suceed and something else will take it's place.
Does anyone know how often Robert Mugabe has reproduced his 0.5 gene set with a female succumbing to his kind of "attraction"?
Uploading a.xls spreadsheet with some more fancy stuff - comments, pulldown selects and text boxes to google docs and downloading it again as.xls, it's lossy in such a prohibitive manner to be unusable. Considering it a "toy".
What works to some degree is a shared gmail account to send documents as email attachments.
Better than having a script running under a browser (assumed this is google docs) would be a server having the actual applicaton and some interface shooting user input and server output encrypted back and forth.

Eh - do yourself a favor and google for "fuel saving slow acceleration" - without quotes, so you can figure how dead wrong you are:
Accelerate Smoothly: By accelerating gradually and driving smoothly, you could increase MPG by as much as 20%.
- increase tire pressure by 2 psi
- accelerate very slow
- drive with lowest rpm possible and shift up immediately, at 1000/1500 rpm
- turn engine off at red lights - after 10 sec off it's beneficial
- downhill coast and turn engine off (you gotta know what you are doing - PS fails and break booster as well after a while)
brings something like 10 - 20 % increase in city, on Hwy going 45 more.

To talk about "IT", do it the old way: start with bees and flowers and once that concept is understood, move on from there.
. I wonder what sin you had to commit in a previous life
Actually I think whosoever is doing this accumulates 10 x the good karma normal people accumulate in one life-time.
One gets used to it - think about a coroner job....
Uups - software error again, dang!
the end of violence
it's the patent system
Really? I thought it was the people (ab)using it.
