That's pretty much how everyone was viewing Castro in the 'early days'.
Socialism is screwed, US isn't a democracy. You might be right in that Chavez might be out in a few years, but I highly doubt his "legacy" will be a good one.
Just because he is putting missions out in the field and educating the general populace in his ideals doesn't mean he isn't brainwashing them and / or leading them to the future revolucion (spelling intentional) against the tyrannical Norte.
Except then we where told they where magnets. And the bs lines where a little different.
Any gains this idiot saw can be explained by differences in driving habits.
If you really want to see just how much it will help, give it to a race car driver, let him try (insert your favorite race here), and see what type of consumption rates he gets.
Or, put it on a semi truck (since they are talking diesel here) and amortize the fuel gains over a year or so period.
What he says is technically correct, and the reason for the high power levels coming out of engines today. Direct injection and super high pressure rails give us that.... And the reasons behind the increased performance is because of exactly what he says, increased atomization.
You can accomplish the same thing by making your injector nozzles smaller and more plentiful. Bosch knows this, so does the aftermarket. You can also get the same thing by increasing your lift pump pressure, rail pressure (all same thing, just different manufacturers call them different things, basically), or other methods.
IOW, someone rediscovered physics and wants to patent it.
This sure isn't going to be popular, but I didn't see anywhere that they where attempting to lump anything with anything else.
Pirating software is illegal. Get over it. Anyone else here that is a developer shits all over themselves over stupid licenses (think all the GPL crap that goes on here). As soon as you stop bitching about your licenses, maybe someone else will stand up and listen, and actually LISTEN to what you have to say.
"And you and I both know that the theoretically lovely 6 MHz NTSC analog signal gets bounced around by structures and atmospheric effects until it gets smeared across 20 MHz or more. The buffer zone built in to the 6 MHz allocation has never been enough to prevent signal bleedover into the space of other stations."
Your comments needed to stop before this, because you showed your own ignorance of how radio and the spectrum works.
The only thing that can cause a signal to "increase", as you put it, after modulation and transmission is to have something rectify it and reradiate it. If that's the case, it isn't the TV stations (transmitter) fault, it's the problem with the device rectifying the signal.
But, to state that the radio signals get bounced around and end up occupying more bandwith is stupid, ludicrous and ignorant. Yes, signals get bounced from once item (building (dependant on frequency), ground, mountains, etc) to another, and they change POLARITY, but it has absolutely NOTHING to do with the occupied bandwith.
The bandwith wasn't enough because they amplitude modulate the TV signal, and it causes problems with IMD by it's nature.
This is exactly how spooks and the like hide a microphone (bug).
The best way is to have it transmit within the exact same frequency or spectrum that another service uses.
If you use low enough power for your transmitter, you minimize collateral receivers being able to pick your signal up, while at the same time making it near impossible to track or find the bug.
Google's guy is just pissed he got one-upped. The FCC did this entirely within the realm of what would happen in the real world.

"tech pundit Mike Elgan posits that the rushed-to-market Windows 7 â" due in 2010, now being beta released this October â" may in fact merely be Vista with new packaging."
Yeah, and that's the same thing I've heard since Win95 was released...
"This revision of Windows is nothing more than a 'polished' (or insert pun here) revision of last revision".
Then it's released:
"This revision is worse than the last revision".
Fast forward 6 months to a year later:
"This version is so much better than the last version, and the next version sucks... To bad by then, Linux will be on the desktop of every PC ever made".
Yeah, we haven't heard that type of story before, have we. I can recall 2k being shit. Then it was XP. Then it was Vista. I've run them all, and as long as you keep your hardware current, you have no problems.
Except, since the 90s when I was a WAN engineer, you could have your servers do mapping based on domain name, and my firewalls (Borderware, mostly) would read the tcp header and remap for you.
Good post, just wasn't 100 percent. Dropping consumer level crap from the equation will allow NAT to take place. If your using applications on your border / firewall / whatever you want to call the entry point of your network, that doesn't support address based (and I'm talking based upon the domain name) translation, you should really check it out. Works great, and I believe IIS even had it back in the 90s.
THAT BEING SAID, I agree with you on nearly every other point, as well as the point I didn't agree with you on. It IS nice to be able to remember every major server I worked on (by IP addy). HOWEVER, it is kind of a pain having to remember that just because I type in HTTP://123.456.789.010 might not take me to the exact website I want, because that IP addy actually hosts 3 or 4 business websites, and it serves them up based upon the domain name you wanted. GREAT use of available IP spaces (I ran 6 major companies on less than 12 IP addresses, including Citrix, Email, etc), but then again, it DOES remove you being able to just type in the octets to get to your domain.
You know what else could have saved your ass? Studying for the first two or three tests.
Amazing, ya know... Grades. They are supposed to be a reflection of your actual standings, now where you LIKE to be standing, standards-wise.
If you don't have enough money to pay my bills at the end of the month, do you expect to be able to just write checks to ensure that your bills are paid, even though you didn't make enough to do so? Same thing.
I'd be willing to bet my truck that this is to help the "underpriviledged ghetto children" to achieve something they can't in "normal methods" because of "the white man keeping them down (insert any cliche' here) or ???.
Simplistic, really. Look to the people initiating the rule, look to their own children and how they are doing in school.
Better hope to GOD that these kids don't transfer to another district that doesn't implement these policies. As a first grader, I was skipped at the semester break to 2nd grade. At the end of the year, my family moved. The new school didn't believe in "skipping", so I repeated the 2nd grade. That was pretty much the end of me giving a flying fuck about school.
Does this mean, if I don't go to work, don't do my job, and don't care, I can now demand 50 percent of my paycheck?
I can't wait until some lawyer gets ahold of a flunky janitor with the school district (that graduates during this "grading scandal") and doesn't understand why giving 0 percent doesn't give him at least 50 percent back.
As I said somewhere else in this thread, I'd give my student a 0, and when the Edu department started to come down on me, I'd blow a whistle to the US Dept of Education.
Or, to look at it another way, this stupid device couldn't even figure out someone was full of shit 22 percent of the time.
That's a quarter, sans 3 points. What's the margin of error (seems to be the buzzword, what in this election year... You ALWAYS must mention your margin of error, so when your proven to be full of shit, you can point to it).
Yeah, this sucks, won't come to be, and is just more wasted money on a military experiment.
I'd be more apt to "buy into this" if it was sold to "protect the children", or to "save the Iraqi's / Afghani's / Israeli's / etc.".
Really now. An accuracy of three quarters? Put it in words, rather than numbers (since the US populace is dumbed down to actual percentage points (look at mortgage crisis, and realize most American's have no clue to percentages, points or interest) they won't be able to figure out that 20 to 30 percent of the population will be detained wrongfully), and the US of A would start screaming.
