Bill Gates as turned from Evil Nasty dude into money giving Saviour.

(Ducks) hey this a good deed.
Possible, but not likely that 30 minutes is going to be long enough to metabolize the booze to a legal level. If you're right on the edge, then I guess it could happen.
You could say that you just had a beer in the Pub/Bar which means you have alcohol in your mouth
making the reading higher. The police than have to take that into account if your on the edge.
Actually it's the low torque delivery the reason why the trucks use it. A gasoline engine needs high rpm, so on big engines like trucks, you either used low-revs which do not generate good power or high-revs which increased engine wear very much. Diesel just had the compromise.
But on car side, it was power that was needed by consumer, and even today, for the same cylinder volume, you need a turbo-charger for the diesel to get close to the same power comparing a gasoline engine. Only in the last 10 years big developments were made in diesel thanks to embedded microcontrollers.
Thanks
I will remember that:-) always thought it was for fuel efficiency
Today while I was filling up my 2003 Corolla with gas, a guy drove up to the next pump in his 1952 MG convertible. Which gets 30MPG. My Corolla gets 27MPG.
I was at a car show today, marveling over the newest crop of hybrids that get up to 41mpg. Wow! My 2001 Jetta TDI (diesel) just delivered 46mpg on a road trip a few weeks ago, and my car is in _rough_ shape.
Yes thats about right a diesel engine is really fuel efficient which is why trucks use it. I think I read somewhere diesel fuel gives about 30% more energy compared to the same amount of petrol.
....The argument would be that a reasonable adult would not give a bike to a four year old to ride on a Manhattan sidewalk because a reasonable adult would judge that the risk of the child causing an injury is too great.
Lets have some reason here were talking about a FOUR YEAR OLD !!!!
Having looked after four year olds before there bundles of energy that run into the closed and largest moving object.
On a bicycle I imagine its even worse a cute non guided weapon of mass destruction. Good luck to the parent who can keep them under control.
Manhattan's a concrete jungle where else is the kid going to ride there bike on the road ?
So now in the good (?) old U.S of A Lawyers have moved from ambulance chasing to trike chasing?
Only lawyers would have the perverted, greedy and corrupt mind to think this one up.
What are lawyers asking that the kids shouldn't be allowed to play?
This is a legal system thats lost its way.
(the irony here is that Chinese citizens can freely copy any movie they like while you couldn't). Guess, even among geeks there are hypocrites, racists and bigots.
Nope we are still fuck the RIAA its just that its ironic that the Commie's are saying that the product is too restrictive.
As to your suggestion that we here a slashdot have racist
overtones in our postings.
Lighten up this is slashdot do not take it seriously.
He didn't give them a password at maximum I would expect 2-3 weeks and a maybe fine but 4 months !!! thats the sort of sentence you get for
stealing a car or causing grievous bodily harm.
Britain congratulations you are now a police state.
please nice moderator people mod parent post up as +2 funny (+5 with some begging ???)
It's the first post and its meant to be funny and they have summed it up in one word what we are all thinking.
Oh boy...
Never really thought about it like that . LOL Your gonna bring all the freaks out now.
What I heard was the Moon landing was done on a soundstage with a sandbox as a set and Bungee cords for moving.
This story just proves it I mean how likely is it that just found a Vhs copy in someone garage and
all the high quality masters just happened to be erased ??? (Lol.... ducks... sorry Nasa type people joke..... )
+1 for bolding the obvious, which subtly implies the obvious may be lost to ceoyoyo (59147)
-10 for not rebutting anything ceoyoyo (59147) said
huh? - how rude this is slashdot I suppose...
my apologies if
1) I sounded sarcastic - I was just responding to the tone of the
post which I felt was saying people have an unfounded fear of radiation.
2) responding as you would a child - I didn't mean to . However I was responding "as above" to the tone of the previous post which came across as to me as "you are a child with an unfounded fear of radiation."
3) bolding the obvious - I was just trying to make a point as I felt that his posting of "Most areas around Chernobyl are pretty harmlessly radioactive...." was silly thing to say as why would they abandon cities?
4) not rebutting anything ceoyoyo (59147) - I was not trying to. I was just trying to make my point of view known.
Most areas around Chernobyl are pretty harmlessly radioactive unless you a) spend a long time there or b) get some of the radioactive stuff on or in you and it sticks with you for an extended period of time...................
I will have to take your word for it.
Never having been to the areas that surround the Chernobyl power plant, I would however think there must be a reason why the cities of Chernobyl and Prypiat were abandoned.
.......
Appeasement didn't work because Germany was trying to expand its borders, not simply maintain a military. Iran is not trying to expand its rule, Iran just wants to have a larger military force. In fact, treaties from WWI that prevented Germany from having a strong military force was the very reason Hitler could rise to power.......
The reason for Hitlers rise was that the victors of World War I had imposed such hash economic conditions on Germany that the country was a failed state. What would be called a Third World country today.
What it does is increase the chances of actually being able to use the chip once it's made. Right now, many chips have to be discarded because they contain manufacturing flaws that (in current designs) makes them unusable. If they can come up with a design that allows flawed chips to be useful anyway, they no longer have to discard all the chips that didn't come out perfectly.
Please mod this post up
The 486 SX is a good example - the 486 SX was the same as the DX just that the Floating point Unit part of the chip was disabled.
its said Intel did this so it would not have to throw away batches of defective chips.
Hamming code adds parity bits to data so that errors can be detected and corrected.
Hamming code detects errors and corrects them and is used in RAID arrays and Satellite transmissions.
The Instruction set would have to be designed so that when a mistake is made it can be detected, also known as the hamming distance but it could be done.
Almost every cab driver in New York acts unethically. As someone who lives in the city and takes cabs regularly, I can attest that 95% of them attempt to scam you in some manner
This is an industry with a history of mob control and immoral behavior. If it takes GPS to help put an end to these things - I'm all for it.
For the Taxi drivers they get such a small wage that the only way to make a living is to lie and cheat.
The one country that is the exception is Japan.
In Japan I regularly had taxi drivers stopping the meter because they had made a mistake or had to get instructions on how to get a particular place.
The Taxi industry treats drivers like machines. If that machine doesn't make money they don't get paid.
The system needs to be fairer and taxi drivers need to get paid a fair wage.
I like classical music. I have for as long as I can remember. My younger sister never did like it as a child and still doesn't today. My parents were never "rich". I think your analysis into what causes kids to like classical music may require some refinement.
Well this is very good to hear. Exception that proves the rule I suppose.
Now tell me do you play a classical instrument?
I will also qualify what I said that by saying when I said rich kids I meant middle class and upwards. These children tend to have access to the teachers and resources that learning classical music requires.
It is very rare for me to met someone from a poor up bringing who study's classical music.

(Ducks) hey this a good deed.
The issue you are having does not sound like it will be solved by better testing. All you are doing is fixing mistakes which is basically rework.
You need to increase the quality of the code.
This is where your biggest cost savings are made as poor quality leads to higher costs.

Ah, the typical reaction to to the word "radioactivity."
For good reason too - we can not hear ,smell or taste radiation and its effects will last a life time.
any exposure to radiation causes harm it is just a case of how well are bodies able to tolerate it.

First Julian is not an citizen of the usa.
I just hope that the Judge/ Judges who handles this case asks themselves :
Why did you enter the legal profession?
Do you believe in the principle of a fair trial?
Do you believe in free speech?
