As it is, hybrids barely beat out economy cars. Add 300 pounds more batteries, and they will actually get worse gas mileage, once those batteries run down.
Even worse, unless you size up the gas engine and generator to handle the extra battery weight, it would be easy to run an electrical deficit which could leave you stranded with a puny 1 liter engine to haul your extra heavy hybrid up a hill.
If Customer wishes to increase the number of Installed System, then Customer will purchase from Red Hat additional Services for each additional Installed System. During the term of this Agreement and for one (1) year thereafter, Customer expressly grants to Red Hat the right to audit Customer's facilities and records from time to time in order to verify Customer's compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Any such audit shall only take place during Customer's normal business hours and upon no less than ten (10) days prior written notice from Red Hat. Red Hat shall conduct no more than one such audit in any twelve-month period except for the express purpose of assuring compliance by Customer where non-compliance has been established in a prior audit. Red Hat shall give Customer written notice of any non-compliance, and if a payment deficiency exists, then Customer shall have fifteen (15) days from the date of such notice to make payment to Red Hat for any payment deficiency. The amount of the payment deficiency will be determined by multiplying the number of underreported Installed Systems or Services by the annual fee for such item. If Customer is found to have underreported the number of Installed Systems or amount of Services by more than five percent (5%), Customer shall, in addition to the annual fee for such item, pay liquidated damages equal to twenty percent (20%) of the underreported fees for loss of income and administration costs suffered by Red Hat as a result. ----
In addition, they won't let you buy RHEL without agreeing, and if you decide to drop services, you need to give 60 days written notice before the renewal date, otherwise you'll have to wait until next year to exercise your rights under the GPL. -------
The term of this Agreement shall be for the duration of all Services provided under this Agreement. The initial term for Services shall commence on the Effective Date of this Agreement and shall continue for a period of one (1) year unless a different term is specified by the parties at the time of purchase. Thereafter, the term for Services shall renew for successive terms of one (1) year each unless a different term is agreed to by the parties at the time of renewal and unless either party gives written notice to the other of its intention not to renew at least sixty (60) days prior to the commencement of the next term; provided, however, Customer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement at any time after the first year by giving sixty (60) days prior written notice of termination to Red Hat. Customer shall remain obligated for all fees through the date of termination.
California likes to pass silly laws, because the people keep electing idiots.
The problem this law intended to curb, people watching TV while driving, is well enough handled by the current tort system. Anyone installing such a TV in the front seat would have a hell of a time proving they weren't at least partially liable for any accident they were involved in.
Ah, yes you are right, I of course have not used Opera 8. I think I may have gotten as far as some of early versions of 7. This jives with the dates, because I believe I starting using Phoenix sometime in early 2003.
CSS2 was ratified in 1998 though, so while you can argue it's better now, there was no excuse for their lagging compliance for so many years.
Not when I used it.... and I remember I used at least Opera 8..
Try this CSS Demo in Opera and see how it goes. That was one that never rendered right in Opera. Make sure to try it in firefox or mozilla too so you can see what it is supposed to look like, if you don't see anything wrong right away.
You can't purchase one copy of RHEL and make as many copies as you want. You must buy per-seat licensing, whether you want support or not. They have the right to audit your facilities for compliance.
CentOS formed because whitebox stagnated. On the plus side, it only takes like 5 minutes to "convert" your whitebox to CentOS, just change your apt or yum sources.
Well, if you were speed testing a car, you might want to mention the fastest car also gets 1 mile to the gallon, or other relevant facts, like the tires falling off.
I use Firefox now. I know it's slower, and it's still pretty bloated. I paid for and used Opera on Windows around version 4 and 5, and Opera on Linux for later versions, 6 and 7 or so. Opera always was very very fast, but Opera on linux started to crash all the damn time around version 7.
That, combined with Opera's lack of a full CSS2 implementation (despite Opera's company being part of the CSS creation process!), and less tolerance for IE-tag soup pages (major corporate pages, not some dinky aol homepage), is what got me to switch to Firefox.
Look how thin the trading is. This is a stock that is well into penny stock land, volume wise. The only thing keeping the price up is that the people who have been suckered into buying SCOX haven't bailed out yet, waiting for a miracle.
You are bitching about 3mbps down and 784kbps up? I bet you pay less than $100 a month for that.
Do you know what a T1 costs and how fast it is?
Like it or not, at some point your ISP has to hook into a major carrier with peering, and those hookups aren't cheap. Verizon or whomever your ILEC is still gets a cut, usually almost half the price of that T1/T3/OC3 whatever.
If you are communicating a complex idea, the language you use must be precise. "Dumbing it down" often leaves vague areas, not something good in documentation or in legal documents.
You know, the article gets the definition of PFC wrong too. It's going to be interesting when thousands and thousands of people don't really know what PFC is, but they all want it.
That page is annoying, it keeps jumping up and down while I'm trying to read it, because of that stupid javascript ad.
It's kinda silly anyway, the article's premise is that they got access to this $20,000 power supply testing equipment... A set of simple $10-$20 high wattage load resistors would have worked just as well.
A $1000 scope might help if you want to catch a load dump overshoot, startup transient, or ripple, but it looks like they aren't even concerned with such important specs of a power supply, specs that could burn our your system.
Anyway, some testing is better than no testing, which seems to be the norm for computer power supplies, so I am thankful that someone with access did these tests, but it would have been more useful if they had tested more than simply steady state load.
Slashdot Mirror
RAR has been around at least 10 years. Probably more.
you are being quite disingenious with your little snarky post
Hah, nice, I think I'll make that my sig if it'll fit.
Unless you need something like SCSI or parallel port support.
From an MS engineer:
I would not recommend using any legacy peripheral device for XP or post XP (including serial, parallel, and SCSI devices).

So, What do you mean?
Ah, Aspergers, the "horoscope" of mental illness.
Because the diagnostic criteria are so broad, everyone even slightly geeky can read them and think that they apply to them.
Here's another idea. Quit making excuses for yourself and take responsibility for your actions. Novel idea, I know.
I can't subsidize this sort of scam with a clear conscience.
Then why do you read, and even post, if you have such a moral problem with Slashdot?
Violating an NDA isn't breaking a law. Because of this, the rest of your arguments are invalid.
You are wrong:

It's not insightful to call centOS a company.
CentOS stands for Community Enterprise OS. It's noncommercial, like Debian.

Their product is no longer support.

Because centos maintains full binary compatibility with RHEL, and uses all the RHEL packages.
It would, if whitebox wasn't dead already.

If they had fixed it months ago when it was fixed in libpng, it would be fine.

Fine then, lets assume your ISP has an OC-3 uplink to major carriers... How much you think that costs?

Ask a lawyer why legal documents seem cryptic.
