The first few times really weren't that bad, just get a good chiltons/haynes. It is a really neat mechanism by the way, just don't add 15-20 degree weather and tons of mud to the mix.
if its post 2003, your'e out of luck. Black box..

the newer vehicles have some sort of black box that records the changes to the software--for "warranty" purposes, you--wink wink nudge nudge say no more--are bringing your car in for reprogramming every time a tsb comes out right? We need to--wink wink nudge nudge--know exactly what conditions you are driving your car in, and know what software changes were done so we install the right patch. Yeah, right....

I believe that he was talking about performance/price 60000/(18-12) sec versus 28000/(18-11) sec with a wildly estimated 1/4 mile time for an economy car as the baseline 1/4 mile time. that's 10000/second faster quarter mile time versus 4000/second faster. Yes the car will last 1/4 of the time it would in stock form, but the maintenance is 1/10 of what the viper is anyway.
I'd probably stay at my current job, but I would also try to build my own company in a different vertical. Working is fun when you are a professional, even stressful meetings or managing others. It gets exhausting, but so does sports and other leisure activities.

I do qt coding on Linux for an air traffic systems simulator. It is all c++ and some shell-scripting: autoconf, bash, perl, etc. It fun, and I don't feel like I'd be gipped out of vacation because work is fun. When i worked at lockheed, I felt the same way. Other than being tired in the morning, I felt like jumping out of bed and racing to work, I couldnt wait to get there. I was doing more radar stuff back then. I guess I like coding. I understand the original poster's comments about anticipating the weekend, but for me, 8 hours of coding a day is fun, not much more, and definitely not less. I still anticipate the weekends and Geocaching, kayaking, fishing, working with my machine tools, etc, but I also have fun at work. I don't think that having fun at work lessens the fun I have at other tasks/passtimes. It is just another thing to do.
laws? If it is cool to outsource to countries without these laws because it is 'cheaper' then why the fsck did we ever pass laws that protect citizens from unfair labor practices only to allow all of the jobs to leave this country?
but it appears that being 'stuck' with a 16bit ti 99/4a (tms9900 precursor to the tms320 series dsps) was the reason. Oh why didn't we get the atari?...er wait, that was an atari 2600 I asked for....
or at least cheaper than $40-60/mo that it is now for broadband. At least with tv, I get 40+ channels of "unique" content--take that as you will--for 20 bucks. The content on the internet as of late, with the exception of 'chat-rooms', porn, and shopping,(and of course slashdot) has been so poor that I find myself not using it as much--which can be a good thing! I find myself exclusively using archive.org for links since most of the good stuff related to topics I am researching was on sites that either shut down, kill links, or meter bandwith.
but, i call Total Fiction on the feingold diet. When I was young, i--in retrospect--obviously suffered from severe adhd. It took till senior year in high school for my doctors to recognize it. My parents tried the feingold diet, and all it did was make me suffer for not being normal like other kids. Not only did I not behave properly in class, but now, I can't have capri suns, or gummy snacks, etc. talk about ABSOLUTELY NO FSCKIN BENIFIT for such tremendous trade-offs. It wasn't until i got on ritalin in college that my grades ever improved, and when my 'educated' doctor took me off of ritalin my grades tanked again. fortunately, i went to a new doctor who prescribed ritalin again, and my grades went back up. I also know that out of 5 of my ADHD friends, only 2 respond to stimulant therapy, so perhaps Feingold may work for some, but it was sheer torture for me as a kid. A total waste of time.
I went from a c average to an a average. My doctor took me off of ritalin in my 2nd half of my fresman and first half of sophomore, and my grades went to crap--put me on another drug. I went to another doctor to be put back on ritalin, and my grades started to get better again. I went from being told that I should not even consider math or sciences by my high-school councelor to having a masters in computer science.
What happens after 90 days of the mission? Can we write programs that try to extend the life of the mission and submit them to nasa? I would like to know if the brush on the rover for the grinder can be used to 'clean' off the solar cells to extend their power generating lifetime. I guess there is no manipulator on the robotic arm, so doing anything interesting to the structure of the rover is out. Can we make them slowly rendezvous at a point on the surface, or make them go to one of the other rover sites? Is the terrain unsurmountable? Could we use the arms on both the rovers to manipulate objects?

that prayer was a non statistical phenomenon. With significant quantities of test subjects--i.e. atoms--quantum behavior disappears. Not to say that the two are linked, only that statistical analysis tends to sum behaviors and silence abnormalities--by design. My oppinion, of course, does not bode well for those who are looking for empirical evidence of prayer working. It also does not prove that prayer could work. Simply, I would conjecture that most behaviors dissapear in statistically significant populations of subjects.
How many people have actually contributed code to linux? We could get those scum sucking lawyers to go after SCO, for which they get the lion's share of the settlement, and SCO gets a 0 ballance in their bank account. If IBM can claim this, why not the individual developers?
Doesn't anyone care about the Going Concern???? Companies are operated with the assumption that they will continue to operate in the future. Selling off capital to make a profit today means less capital to produce next year. Similarly, destroying one's customer base by alienation does not lend to the going concern at all either. The CEOs are not increasing the value of the company, they are selling off assets and alienating customers to suck revenues from the company without any concern to the fiscal health of the company one year from now--and why not too? if the company craps out, their bonuses were already paid and they can blame the operating faults on their predecessors or market conditions and get away with mismanagement scott free!
They said nothing because they were the guys with manufacturing jobs, or their offspring. The ones who survived retooled--some of them as it/programmers. To what can a programmer retool?
This is something i read a while back where the general gist is that you are not the person 'CAPITAL NAME' and that that person is a legal corporate entity. This was used, if I remember correctly, to defend several tax cases.
To the journal publishers and make the proper connections in the scientific community? Peer review has NOTHING to do with the scientific merit of a paper, my Q-Mech teacher explained that one to me. Peer review has to do with who you know and what you have done for them lately.
If they illegally accessed your machine first, that does not excuse them from liability. If i break in to george's house and steal his gun, then use it to kill gene, george may have liability if he did not report the gun stolen.
