Air cooled engines are no longer widely used in motorcycles. High-performance dirt bikes went water cooled about a decade ago and most road bikes that look air-cooled actually have finned water jackets and radiators. There are air-cooled motorcycles, but I would say that modern motorcycles are mostly water-cooled.
the shred man page specifically says that it is ineffective on journaling file systems. From TFMP:
CAUTION: Note that shred relies on a very important assumption: that the file system overwrites data in place.
This is the traditional way to do things, but many modern file system designs do not satisfy this assumption.
The following are examples of file systems on which shred is not effective, or is not guaranteed to be effective
in all file system modes:
* log-structured or journaled file systems, such as those supplied with AIX and Solaris (and JFS, ReiserFS, XFS,
Ext3, etc.)
There are several definitions of "cult", and the most objective is probably "small religion". In Christianese, though, the common usage of the word is for "non-Christian religion that emerged as a deviation from proper Christianity" or "departures from sound doctrine". Since Christian elements are found lingering in Western culture, these two senses of the word "cult" can be confused and a knowledge of audience is important.
As a Christian, I believe that catholicism is the largest and most dangerous cult in the Christianese sense. Not necessarily because they hold certain rituals in latin, but because they clearly reject essential biblical teachings (prohibition of graven images, salvation by faith alone, the fallen nature of man [see:Pope]), and they add their own doctrines (deificiation of Mary and "the saints" [first commandment], the completely unbiblical ritual of confession, infant baptism, transubstantiation, and many many more). It's very clear to me that catholicism is not Christianity but an offshoot religion, like LDS or Jehova's Witness. More radical holders of the "oneness" theology of certain pentecostal strains are also sometimes considered cults because of their arguable rejection of the biblical God.
A Beowulf cluster of those.
I wonder if the on-screen keyboard they are using is Dvorak. The Dvorak keyboard layout is far more efficient. Qwerty was deliberately designed to slow people down. I personally switched to a Dvorak keyboard on my EEG device, and I went from 8 to 12 letters per minute and experience way less eyestrain now.

'99. It gets a good 33-35 highway. When I drove to MT I got about 38 average. But now, I drive almost entirely city, where it gets 28mpg in the winter and only 24mpg in the texas summer (air conditioning). I have determined, if the gas guage is to believed, that the tank is exactly 10 gallons, so the light comes on at about 330 miles during road trips.
Almost like a regular car indeed. My Corolla has a 10-gallon tank, so at typical 28mpg I only get 250 safe miles out of a tank. Of course, I can then instantly fill it back up at any of the very abundant filling stations around the country/world, and it runs just as well with the tank nearly empty as it does with it full (actually better, on account of the missing weight).
Flexibility.
Matroska is wildly popular in anime fansubbing because you can have an arbitrary number of audio tracks (english, japanese, Dolby surround, all the commentary tracks) and subtitles (including multiple versions with toggle-able onscreen translation of text).
With the benefits that Matroska provides, it annoys me that people use anything else. You can literally put anything into a matroska container. It surprises me that people haven't found more ways to put malware in them.
I was homeschooled. I'm now a graduate student in a scientific field; If I went to highschool, I probably would be in jail. I'm not exaggerating; some people's bullshit tolerance, and willingness to put up with empty authority (and evil) is far higher than mine, especially mine at age 16. At age 16, I knew the Constitution and had an opinion on poltics; most kids of highschool age get herded like sheep. Schools nowadays are practically concentration camps; you have to attend school and yet you have no rights while you are there. I like semicolons.
For a linux editor of a somewhat more picasa-style everyday touch-up nature, check out digikam. It has a lot of fantastic utilities for basic editing; I particularly like it's "convert to B&W while providing previews of different colored lens filters". It really has the slick interface that gimp doesn't. But then gimp can do fancy layers and stuff, which digikam can't. If I could figure out how to use digikam to clone out dust etc. I would probably never use gimp.
Ubuntu DOES pop up a nice dialog explaining in simple language that "software on your system is organized into packageds, in these things called 'repositories'....". You have to check the little "don't show this again" checkbox if you don't want to keep seeing it every time you open Synaptic.

I really hate image-based CAPTCHAS, because they discriminate against lynx users.
I seriously remember at least one occasion where I was using lynx for whatever obscure reason, and I came upon "enter the text shown in the box at the left".
Fail.
I like the math problem ones better.
'A' is on the same place in Dvorak as in Qwerty. So is M; the two letters are common between the layouts. Which sometimes confuses me because my sister is named 'Amy' which we shorten to 'Am' and that's her login on her computer. I type her username without thinking anything is wrong, only to bork the password because the keyboard was qwerty the whole time.
I switched to dvorak when I had two injured wrists and typing anything was pretty uncomfortable afterwords. I couldn't type the way I did before anyway. My wrists are mostly normal now but I'm still glad I switched to dvorak.

With 9.04, suspend now works on my Acer Aspire One. A serious boon.

Negative reinforcement is NOT punishment. Major peeve. Negative reinforcement is the removal of an aversive stimulus in order to reward a behavior.

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Fuji Superia 800 is a good film actually. There are much worse print films out there.

The real solution is to nuke them from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.
