... is bogleheads.org. Yes, it's a cheesy, almost appeal-to-authority name, but bogleheads.org has a ton of info, and a lot of very smart posters, if you want to learn about investing and retirement planning. It's priceless. Check out "getting started" in the wiki, before reading the forums. Read some books by William Bernstein, Larry Swedroe, one of the bogleheads books, and "A Random Walk Down Wallstreet".
The gist of it all is: 1) save as much as you can 2) use low-cost index funds 3) choose a reasonably appropriate stock/bond ratio (maybe some gold too, but that's an entire subject itself, and highly debated) and choose a reasonable foreign allocation (20-30% of stock), or use a low-cost target retirement fund, or use a fee-only advisor. 4) max-out your 401k (because your effective/average tax rate will almost certainly be lower in retirement, than your marginal rate is now) 5) stick to your plan. Most strategies (portfolios) have mean variance. If yours is down, you might change into another one before it too goes down too. You're not paid for that risk. So choose something simple you can stick with. Don't under-estimate how hard that can be, for years, for decades, especially with 401ks with different fund choices, and new asset class fads coming and going.
The frame rate the cable is capable of supporting has nothing to do with display refresh rate. Example: LCD's of recent years refresh at 120hz, using 24 and 30hz source frame rates.
It likely has a difficult to use clutch. Higher torque requires more force from the pressure plate and/or less clutch surface area (to increase pressure per area).
There are some solutions tho: in low gears, retard the timing, open wastegates to limit boost, scale or limit the throttle map.
I first saw Linux on a public access show. John Maddog Hall was on, demo'ing linux/alpha, on I believe an 21164 @ 600mhz, (64bit, but little-endian - seemed weird and exciting to me). There was also an Mklinux demo, Irix on an O2, and a Sun box (my memory of back then is hazy tho).
Having finally gotten a handed-down 7100/80, I installed mklinux. I quickly discovered a bad simm causing fs corruption (explained the random mac os 8 lockups too). Pretty white-on-blue console, just like QNX. Once it was working, it was onto dial-up. The amic serial driver was making a function call for every byte copied into the ring buf. I in-lined it and got about 2x less cpu load. That also helped when irc kiddies smurf attacked. For syn floods, I modded a firewall patch to rate limit syn's and icmp.
Later on, I was finally was able afford my dream machine: a dual 21264 @ 833mhz, on a UP2000 mobo. (Before that, I had a 600au miata tower.)
I made a minor fix to the palcode call in the reboot/shutdown switch statement, in linux (accepted by Alan Cox). Tho he rejected my patch to check for MD partitions for raid auto-detech (wanted proof that 0xfd or whatever it was, wasn't used by osf/1 already). That issue still pops up on the linux-alpha list.
I still have my old 7100/80, with a working 5v source jumped to the adb line that went bad. Maybe someday I'll reinstall DR2.1 just for fun. I still have the CD.
We can just issue more negative-returning debt to pay for this. We're already trillions in the hole, so let's see just how much debt it takes to destroy an economy.
If those tariffs were in place those workers' current jobs would never have existed! They would be even worse off. They choose to work those jobs because they are better than any alternatives they had. Labor laws are a luxury. Rich countries can afford them and shift work to less developed countries. Those countries in turn develop over time (unless prevented by bad government, war, or other stupidity). The only hope these people have of achieving what we have (including stricter labor laws) is to use their current situation to their advantage to build wealth and industry.
Your idea of tariffs would condemn them. That is immoral to them and immoral to us (artificially increasing costs). Not to mention the fact that your tariffs do not go to the works at all. They would bear the entire cost but receive no benefit. A do-gooder policies like that is shallow, stupid, and actually counter-productive.
If your idea of efficiency is mpg (which is stupid when comparing different fuels), then yes it's much less efficient. If you want power from high compression, it's better than gasoline (much higher knock and detonation temperature thresholds). The real measure is mile per dollar, which is much lower with ethanol from corn vs gasoline, even before you take into account the rent-seeking scum bags who use corrupt politicians to steal tax money (subsidies).
As if the economy isn't in bad enough shape, let's redirect billions towards another thing that's completely unnecessary. Who cares, we won't have to pay for it, our grandkids will. Since reckless spending and investment was the problem, let's do even more of it see how well that works out./sarcasm
When will people learn there is not an endless supply of money for the government to spend? There are limits to how much you can steal from the future.
So you think massive spending on unnecessary things is good? Please explain how taking peoples' hard earned money and giving it to people who don't deserve it (ie, reckless spending) improves the economy.
Government spending (and laws) create misallocation of natural resources (including labor time). Of course, "misallocation" is a matter of opinion but most of the pork is obvious.
You should think before you post. Ever heard of hunting or target shooting?
There are people who SHOULD BE KILLED. If someone was in the process of killing you or your child, would you not use a weapon (fists count, btw) to stop them?
Define "prominent place" or it will cost car companies (and you, when you buy a car) a lot of time and money in court to figure that now. Then size, shape, and style (digital or analog, etc) will be a target of lawsuits. Consider the additional cost that now this gauge must be approved by car companies legal departments any time a change is made. Also, a "prominent place" require redesigning a perfectly good dash that they might not otherwise - most cost. Cars that are close to being produced would have to be delayed for a dash redesign. Oh, and sports cars that get 5-15mpg will have it too, regardless of whether or not the customer wants it or will pay attention to it. What about fuel cell cars that don't have injections cycles (afaik - i don't know much about fuel cells) or electric cars. You've also created another marginal increase to the barrier of entry into the car industry, discouraging new startups that might have better technology.
And your rational for all this? You THINK it MIGHT cause people to save fuel, even tho many new cars _already have_ this feature (tho it might not be in a "prominent" enough "place" for you). People like you (including politicians) don't care how many problems or how much money is wasted due to feel good laws that provide little if any net benefit to society.
It's thanks to reasoning like this that there are HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS of pages of law that no one person can ever learn. Yet we're assumed to know them all by the court system. It may seem like a small thing, but when you have thousands of small "harmless" laws, it creates a great burden. Each year there are less and less things you can do without breaking the law. Doesn't that sadden you?
The US government is in no way weak, unfortunately. Just look at the tax code alone. It is impossible for any one person to understand. Consider the endless criminal and traffic laws that almost every breaks on a daily basis. Congress and even local legislators do nothing but make laws - more and more every year. There's no stopping it until the government becomes so oppressive that a revolution (political, violent, or often both) becomes a better choice for most people than doing nothing.
Your engine makes peak at 3000rpm while the the TDI makes it at 1800rpm. You're right tho, gas engine can be torque. A small turbo on any engine can make big torque at low rpm. An NA engine can make pretty torque too, with the right induction design.
It doesn't - but it does make ignorant "liberals" feel good about themselves by passing a law. Like many laws, it's counterproductive since people are thinking beings that can adapt their behavior. I think most politicians know this, but choose to ignore it since ignorant voters like what bills _sound_ like, and don't care what actually happens.
The thing is, a lot of people _know_ the "unintended" consequences - they just don't care! Politicians only need to APPEAR to be good to a majority, to get re-elected. So, they pass bills are even counter productive toward what they claim the goal is. Gun control is good example. Stupid / lazy voters who don't hold politicians accountable (or even question things to begin with) are to blame to an extent. Also to blame is politicians' belief that most voters are lazy and stupid.
I'm not obligated to protect you. If a Katrina style situation happened, and the cops tried to disarm me... I can't say for sure what I'd do, but I wouldn't hand over my guns, that's for sure. Violence is a last resort. The real problem is that the majority is content being subjects of the government - having their piss tested, their banking monitored, a huge chunk of their income taken (and given to rich farming companies) and so on.
Rebellions are rare when everyone is well fed and there's a large (content) middle class. Also the mainstream media (yes, even "liberal" CNN) refuses to report on swat abuse, Dr. Steven Hayne (the fraudulent medical examiner in Mississippi who has sent innocents to prison for decades), etc. They also refuse to question candidates on the drug war, which is a bigger problem than Iraq and Afghanistan combined. They'd rather spend weeks on whatever young pretty white girl has gotten into trouble recently.

You can disable it. On freebsd, add to /etc/rc.conf:
ataidle_enable="YES"
ataidle_devices="ada0 ada1"
ataidle_ada0="-P 0"
ataidle_ada1="-P 0"
You're wrong. There are still stations with midgrade tanks and fuel terminals still blend midgrade for loading.

How did he calculate his speed? What were the reference points? What a useless article.

If you don't know anything, don't post. File sizes in every mainstream OS have byte granularity. Block size is irrelevant.
Maybe 85min was covered other things.

The problem isn't just that you can't own a gun. People are prosecuted for _self-defense_. It is one seriously f'ed up country.
