    Might be time to upgrade to wife 2.0. Newer versions may require some customizing and setup but as a geek, that can be kinda fun. Until she blue screens on your for upgrading her incorrectly.

    Hmmm... knew this Jewish girl with long, dark, curly hair, white skin and large... tracks of land. Tasted more like honey than pork, when you got down to it. A little on the short side though. Is nice when women are tall and curved in all the right places.

  8. Re:stirling engine is a no-go on Dean Kamen Combines Stirling Engine With Electric Car · · Score: 1

    A new efficiency record was set with a solar-to-grid sterling engine setup (page 6).

    The award recognizes a solar-to-grid system conversion
    efficiency record set by SES Serial #3 solar
    dish Stirling system in January 2008 at Sandiaâ(TM)s
    National Solar Thermal Test Facility. The existing
    1984 record of 29.4 percent was toppled by the new
    31.25 percent net efficiency record.

    The conversion efficiency is calculated by measuring
    the net energy delivered to the grid and dividing
    it by the solar energy hitting the dish mirrors.

    Now, whether sterling engines carry over to vehicles, yeah, that's another thing.

    Local home for now. I see what folks are saying about FF3 and networked directories. Yeah, that'll suck unless they get it fixed.

    Will the GOP regroup around a core of old-school conservatives or, after having so many driven off and endorsing Obama, will they form a new party? I was a Republican up until the 2000 primaries. Voted for McCain and, when I saw the dirty tricks come out from BushCo., I voted independent. Am registered Dem this time around. Has really pissed me off, the growing influence of the religious right in the GOP. I'm all for being left alone and just making sure that crime is taken care of and emergency response is kept active. Things have changed a lot since the '70's. Would really like a party that focused on the individual but not to the point of total anarchy that Libertarians want. Society does require personal involvement at a certain level.
