  9. Re:Just a bit of stuff on Mazda Claims 70 mpg For New Engine, No Hybrid Needed · · Score: 1

    We have a generator with a Honda 411cc diesel engine. The governor is mechanical and has two counterweights. One of the counterweights decided to throw itself off into the big end. I know from experience just how hard a diesel can rev before going kaput. This was only a few weeks ago and was on a unit that had only run 900 hours (and cost $5500) - OUCH!

    I have made biodiesel myself(methanol/lye recipe) and our diesel generator loved it at 80Bio/20Die (was winter in South Australia(does get cold)). I actually have a lot of used veg oil floating around just waiting for when I get around to making my biodiesel reactor.
    Like my Swedish autonomous robotic Inga I haven't got round to it yet.

  12. Re:So what fuel is needed on Mazda Claims 70 mpg For New Engine, No Hybrid Needed · · Score: 1

    My car gets 17.5KPL and cost me $800. I have done over 150,000 kilometres so far. Mostly country driving but regardless my break even if I had bought a Prius would have taken quite a while.

  13. Re:Diesels already do this. on Mazda Claims 70 mpg For New Engine, No Hybrid Needed · · Score: 1

    ISo they are irrelevant to me (and most of the rest of Slashdot's readers.)

    Is that because all the smart people that read /. come from the USA? people in the US aren't really this blinkered are they?

    I guess that all those fuel consumption figures quoted above by various people are wrong then.

    I was reading a little bit about Rudolf Diesel the other day and he actually built a model that ran on coal dust. Don't know why I am telling you I guess it just seemed like a neat trick back in the late 1800s (and you may have been interested).

    I drive a 1996 Nissa Micra. It is driven predominantly on country roads and I get over 40MPG(US). It also cost $800AU.

    You know the answer to that but you feel it might be karmic if you say it aloud

  18. Re:Zynga should fix their security first on Is Zynga Trying To Patent Virtual Currency? · · Score: 1

    Do only Chinese gamers steal other players virtual currency? Is it a racial thing(hate crime maybe)? Or does everyone do it and it's just the idea of China stealing anyone's currency that makes Seppo's(and their fellow travellers) all indignant? has it been reported on FOX yet?

  20. Will the real truth please stand up on WikiLeaks Releases Cache of 400,000 Iraq War Documents · · Score: 1

    Anyone not suspecting(even just a little bit) that the data leaked may be a psy-op is too trusting. These documents do nothing but assist long term US goals. Even the civilian and blue on blue statistics probably massage the figures to about 20% of the true figure. For all we know these caches of documents have been configured for greatest effect/manipulation value by teams of psychologists and public relations experts and may have been part of an ongoing strategy that may even predate the wars. This isn't an attack on Julian. He may be the kindest and best intentioned man on the planet for all I know. It's the data that smells not the pipe.

  25. Re:need more input on Bicycle Thief Barred From Using Encryption · · Score: 1

    My guess is that he stole said 'bicycle' and being like most intelligent young people told everyone about it on his Facebook page. The courts in their infinite wisdom chose to blame the Internet for his criminality and banning him from Facebook in their eyes will stop him from ever reoffending.
