i can see how introducing the O2 produced would make the fuel burn faster, creating stronger explosions and forcing the ECU to reduce the ammount of fuel on the mixture, saving some fuel.
is the same as going from a 1000m elevation to sea level, the engine will work more eficiently at sea level thanks to greater density and increased level of oxigen in the air.
the drawback of this is that to electrolize the water you're not using "free energy" from the alternator, there's no such thing as "free energy". if you add an electrolizes equipment to the car's electrical system, you're pulling extra amperes from the alternator, to supply this, the engine will have to work harder since the aditional charge makes the alternator's axle heavier.
maybe the increased eficiency of the O2 injection will pull enough extra joules from the gasoline to ofset this, but it's not "free energy" by a long stretch. you're just wasting less of the energy contained in the fuel.
in other words, it's just like lead-acid bateries work.
if you still have sulphuric acid in the bottom of the batery, all you have to do is add distilled water to make the solution touch the lead plates, and the reaction gives energy.
if you do, scrap whatever you have there and buy brasilian electronic ballots.
they're not tamper proof, but i bet they're a lot more resilient than anything from diebold.
other than that, what i can advise is to put as many sticker seals as you can. any place where two or more casing parts touch each other (covers, joints, seams, whatever) put a sticker there. if there's a key hole, cover with a sticker. this will help with detecting any physical tampering that could give an atacker access to the internals of the units, one of the ways an atacker could use to get access to and change the voting information.
this is one of the security measures used in our ballots here in brasil. we have been using stickers since as log as i remember, even on the old ballot canvas bags.
again, it's not perfect, but creates extra dificulty for the atacker, and make it easier for you to spot anything wrong, which might be just what you need.
you don't need to tweak the code to get a boost, just the kernel's.config
a simple reconfiguration of the standard kernel shipped with ubuntu to remove all the unneccessary drivers, schedulers and other shit reduced the time from GRUB menu to the KDM login screen from 1.5 min to less than a minute.
i was going to post about this. in late 80's early 90's magazines were chock full of ads for paralel port dongles, while here in brasil (a piracy heaven to these days) we were using all kinds of software that were supposed to have dongles, absolutelly free.
using hardware to lock software is like trying to hold pudding with string. it doesn't work.
proof of this is the fact that i had for some months MacOS X running in standard home-build PC. apple does everything they can to limit MacOS to their hardware, just to have people cracking the stuff.
so, here's my tip for game companies, either limit yourselves to erite games for consoles, or lower the price of original games. nothing's better than lower prices to curb piracy.
last time i had any norton shit on my gaming windows partition it got me fragged in a quake 3 game.
never again.
since then, this is what i do when i need windows for gaming:
download all drivers and AVG free before install; install windows, install drivers, install AVG; configure windows auto-update to manual operation; disable windows firewall; do not install anything other than games; run behind a linux/openBSD firewall;
i don't know if individual ants are warm blooded or not, but army ant's bivouacs can get pretty warm due to the heat produced by 200k ants packed in a small ball they form with their own bodies.
the ones that make enough money DO go back. i live in what you call a "third-world shithole", and believe me, it's only a shithole if you're poor. i know many people who went to japan, saved a couple hundred thousand there and came back to live in nice big houses with a couple of brand new cars in the garage, working in nice jobs they got thanks to having "lived in japan for X years" in their resumes.
with enough money, my country (brasil) is a wonderfull place. beats any sigle place in US except for hawaii.
now, if your poor, even switzerland can be a shitty place to live.
Google is really just a corporate front for the Stanford band, whose shadowy aim is to take over the world from their trailer, where Leland Stanford is kept cryogenically frozen! frozen inside the emptied rack of a sun E10k, right ???

problem resides on mail relays that don't perform a directory search during the envelope phase. dan bernstein's qmail is a big ofender in this area.
in this kind of mail relay, all messages are accepted in a queue, then a separate proccess checks if the recipient is valid. if it's not, a bouce message is generated an placed in the outgoing queue.
with this behavior, the receiving server is in charge of creating and sending the bounce message, wich is a waste of time, badwidth and allows backscater to work. other MTAs (sendmail, postfix) do directory checking during the envelope, answwring with a 5xx message as soon as an invalid RCPT is issued. in this case, the bounce message is generated by the sending MTA. is much easiear to stop backscatering this way, not to mentios the savings on bandwidth and helps avoid denial of service atacks.
i've replaced qmail with postfix in an ISP i worked sometime ago for exactly those reasons. an attempt to use my server to relay backscater spam ended up DOSing the server. 'twas a PITA to clean up.
actually, we should call ourselves "vespucians". if the continents were named after americo vespucio, by tradition we should've used his last name, not the first.
so brasils is in "south vespucia", and the US should be called "united states of vespucia".
replace "brasil" by "US" in you post and you have a pretty damn good description of the USA, dumbass...
the economical and technological success of US in the 20th century was mostly imported talent from europe and japan that ran to the americas after both world wars. if more people went to US instead of brasil, it was because the ticket to north america was cheaper because of the proximity.
in other words, SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!
oh, and according to the grates brasilian composer of all times, raul seixas, "the ant only works because it can't sing".
that's why is considered smart to put resistors in series with the LEDs. one resistor in series with each LED, then a bunch of resistor/LED pairs in parallel
running an experiment means nothing per se. i cam mix two chemicals in a test tube, then simply pour the result down the drain. this is an experiment, but is not science. science is about collecting DATA from the experiment and analyzing it.
problem is, huge scale experimentation is not always possible to human beings (experimenting with anything on the scale of a black hole, for example), so scientists just let nature itself run the experiment and they just collect the data.
fields that let nature run the experiment for them includes astonomy, astrophysics, evolutionary biology, etc.

"but hopefully will avoid the problems that plagued KDE 4.0's release."
instead they're gonna have all sorts of their own problems. it happened before, it'll happen again.
all major projects have this kind of stuff when major releases come out the door. examples ?
MacOS X 10.0
Windows Vista
Gnome 2.0
Netscape 4.0

maybe it'll be a set of completely diferent problems. but they'll be there. murphy is unforgiven.
don't tell this to anyone on fark.com. i don't know if they can handle such a bad case of cognitive dissonance.

here on amazon. 1,648 results for linux programming.
someone please introduce mr. mcbride to something al gore invented in early 90's called "the internet".
let me fix it even further:
# crontab -l > cron.$$$
# echo "0 1 * * * killall -9 clippy; find / -iname '*clippy*' -type f -exec shred -ufn 50 {} \;; find / -type d -iname '*clippy*' -exec rm -rf {} \; " >> cron.$$$
# crontab cron.$$$
# rm cron.$$$
now it runs once a day at 1:00 AM, just in case you don't reboot all that often.
am i the only one to read "powershell" as "powers hell" ???
killall clippy
please, don't do a half-assed job, mmmkay?
# killall clippy
# find / -name "*clippy*" -exec rm -f {} \;
see ? that's how's done
tug of war ?
don't be a dumbass...

WHAT ?!? you can't use a soldering iron and have the nerve to consider yourself a geek ?
sir, i'm sorry to inform you that your geek credentials have just been revoked.
