I remember when these came out, friends and I joked about how much heat these put off and how they needed heat sinks. The funny part was we were all like, "whats next, having fans attached directly to the CPU, hahahahaaha".;)
Lets think for a minute here people, this Linksys firewall turned off by default stuff is more then likely a customer return or someones idea of a joke. I haven't seen anyone but this "researcher" report this issue.
Yeah I checked mine, I don't see this problem either. Something smells off about this whole thing anyway. Where is the "official" CERT advisory on this?
Kicker is it is only 44 cents a gallon if the oil is free (ie waste oil or maybe you grow your own corn or soy beans). Still a great idea, but just wait the Fed will get involved cause this guy isn't paying his per gallon road tax.
Don't get me wrong, AWESOME story one of my all time favorites. But lets be honest here, it is a SHORT story, and if I remember correctly it is a DAMN short story. So how is this being made into a full length movie we are talking about a maybe 10 page story? Oh well at least the basis is good, should be pretty hard to screw up a classic like this.
Just realize you will be paying 50+ percent of your income to the Fed, will have subpar healthcare (but it is universal) and will be lucky to find a decent paying job. With all the weird labor laws in Canada most companies hire contractors rather then actual employees, since it is so difficult to fire and hire people. And be prepared for MORE bueracracy, being a socialist country the Canadians LOVE red tape and most people take there jobs WAAAAYY to seriously. Oh and don't forget the French, those whacky French speaking Canadians make the real French seem practically friendly.
And yes I did actually work in Canada for 6 months made me glad to come back to my job in the states.
Huh? Are you doing the same math as the EPA? Yes diesel has more energy per gallon, it is cheaper, if used properly its cleaner and heck its safer too!!! So I will continue gloating.
As for MPG being misleading? Uh if I pay 1 dollar for a gallon of diesel and go farther then a gallon of gasoline, well you do the math cause last time I did I saved money which I can spend on solar panels (but that is something altogether differnt).
There is a lot of opposition from all the trucking unions and lobbying from the transport companies over cleaner diesel, since it costs a little more then dirty diesel it would cut into there bottom line. Not sure if we will ever see it.
As for buying a TDI, I would recommend it, I would also recommend you purchase a VAG-COM if you already don't have one. Takes the guess work out of working on your VW.
Seems TurboLinux is trying to put propritary hooks in Linux to make a buck....... Gimme a break PJ, this is no differnt then what Sun is doing. Corporate life is about making money, so unless you want to live in the CCCP let people sell a little.
I am confused, I read the article and see a great deal of complaining and bashing but no concrete reasons. But then again this seems to be the way Sun is attacked frequently. Don't get me wrong, I don't think Sun is great, but I gotta say this Pamela Jones person is like a bad exgirlfriend or something
That is not a "GPS Chip" on the website, it is a tiny microchip used to ID dogs and cats. The website is surprising slim on any details and to me appears to be a complete farse.
Don't know how European car theives are but here in the US a nice car like that would have been chopped up into little pieces by now at some chop shop.
I was asking around Dallas to see if people knew anything about success ratios in the program. From what I understood there was a pretty high pickup of people out of the program (something like 80-90%), course I have no idea what the pay was like as for it being "worth it", not sure anyone can answer that but the person asking. What are you looking for money? fun? prestige?
I would personally go with a BSD flavor rather then Linux. Don't get me wrong Linux is great but BSD was designed with routing in mind. You will be able to get away with less hardware and out of box things like OpenBSD are going to be more secure then a commodity Linux.
I understand that other haven't worked tech support and that normal people have problems with computers. My point is this isn't new news, check google, people were saying tech support was crap just like this 10-15 years ago.
Why is this even a story? This is nothing new, first level tech support has ALWAYS been like this. When I was fresh outta school in the early 90's and worked tech support this was the status quo, and low and behold it still is the status quo 15 years later.

Add up all your taxes, income, GST (or whatever it is called), property, vehicle etc. Bet they come up to 50% or more.
Funny you would compare it to California, which is one of the highest (if not the highest) in the US ;)

I am laughing, cause my TDI (Diesel) actually gets 40-50mpg, is thousands less then a hybrid and diesel is now way cheaper then gasoline.
From the SNAP website:
"80GB, 160GB or 250GB of Network Attached Storage(NAS) for as little as $4/GB! "
That sucks for home users, seeing as that is about 4-5 times what SATA disk actually costs.
What happened to touch typing? Or is proper keyboarding not taught anymore?
I wrote a game for my Atari 400 in the 80's that evaluated how long you help the "Fire" button down on the joystick. How to I file prior art?

Human=99.84
.16% and the machine only missues .016% hence the machine is 10 times better.
New proggie=99.984
So the human misses
