For the majority of people, a slight difference in emissions would be preferable to a noticeable drop in performance.
Because you just can't have enough horsepower. Faster faster faster!
Not necessarily faster, but be able to get more work done. Most diesels (at least in the US) are used for pulling large or heavy loads. The more power, the more work you can get done...
But not all. Some people like for their vehicle to run properly.
From what I have perused on the internets, a lot of diesel pickup owners will remove the DPF, EGR cooler and retune the truck to get better fuel economy and more power.
The 6.4 Powerstroke diesel gets about 6 - 7 MPG before the emissions equipment is removed and close to 20 MPG AFTER it is removed.
Plus the DPF regen process causes hell on turbos, piston rings (especially on #7 & 8 cylinders where the regen process is performed).
If I'm not mistaken, this may be part of why she's dropping it. I recall reading somewhere that Kleiner Perkins offered to not demand that she pay their attorney fees if she dropped the appeal.
The court determined that Ms. Pao owed Kleiner $276,000 in court fees, and the firm offered to waive those if she did not appeal. But in her statement on Wednesday, Ms. Pao said that she was still ordered to pay those to resolve the lawsuit.
Couldn't read the Washington Post article due to them hating my ad blocker and prompting me to subscribe.....screw 'em...
Dropping the suit is playing right in to the "it's too hard to fight" theme.
Surely if she wants to actively fight gender discrimination she should push it as long as she can.
She tried, but her pockets were not as deep as theirs. She even had to pay THEIR legal fees.
In reality a hosted cloud is more expensive and less secure in almost all cases. When will people wake up and realize that cloud was created not to provide any particular service that can't be provided locally, but is just a way to turn something you used to pay for once into a monthly forever and ever payment. Cloud is cheaper up front, but almost always more expensive in duration.
In reality a motorised carriage is more expensive and less safe in almost all cases. When will people wake up and realize that engines were created not to provide transport that can't be provided by horse, but is just a way to turn something you used to feed with hay into a machine that guzzles oil. Motorised carriages are cheaper up front, but almost always more expensive in duration.
If these things are going to be legal records, they need to be secure, backed up, under a strict retention schedule, retrievable.
If they go all out on a closed source backup solution (Networker, Tivoli, Arcserve, etc), big costs will be incurred buying, licensing and maintaining the backup hardware / software. Ongoing costs for blank storage media whether tape or removable hard drives (depending on the backup scheme used), offsite storage costs if they want any DR capability, hiring someone or training someone on-staff to handle the restore / tape rotation requests, etc.
Sure, a drive is cheap... having a robust and secure system (which I doubt they have) which gives you retention policies and other stuff suitable for evidentiary purposes is a much harder problem.
And then you get into some other stuff.
No kidding......talk about a hacker target ripe for the picking......:(
If Obama had renamed McKinley to Mt Obama, you might have a valid argument. All he did was what the state of Alaska had been asking for for nearly 40 years.
And basically everyone else EXCEPT Ohio had been wanting. So, majority rules sucka!
TL;DR version:
Survived Katrina, didn't survive Congress
You apparently didn't read the complete article. They are now busy building components for the Space Launch System. They are still very much alive.
Good for them!
It's one thing arming drones with mace, tazers, etc....it will be another HITTING someone with said tasers, mace, etc. I guess they could hire a bunch of professional RC flyers out there that have excellent skills in pinpoint piloting, but training Roscoe P. Coltrain to be able to fly a drone well enough to hit a moving or running target is another can of worms altogether..... LOL
I wonder if they will incorporate third party apps like Moobot and Nightbot that helps with the chat issues? If they don't, then folks will quickly tire of the experience.
It's like spectator sports, but the audience may also be a player of the game.
Agreed. There is one streamer I follow on Twitch and he will get all of his followers together on one server or get them on a public server and play as a team. I have done that several times....watch for awhile, join the server he is on and play along for awhile, then go back to watching.
Pretty fun!

You mean they ignore laws lobbied by cab unions that drive up costs to consumers?
Ahhh...the old anti-union troll.....go screw yourself.....

It's Texas! What did you expect???
Imagine having to replace your entire rib cage because it is cancer-ridden. =Gee-zus!
On the bright side, think of the bar bets he can win now. "Bet you $100 you can stab me in the chest and it won't even hurt me."
Gonna suck if he ever tries to fly anywhere. Will have to carry a ream of documentation showing what he has...
She brought the court case, not KP - so people should cut the bitching about who had deep pockets...
Wasn't bitching.....just quoting her statements.... Someone had mentioned earlier that she should keep pushing, but her checkbook said 'No'. ;)
Yup...
If I'm not mistaken, this may be part of why she's dropping it. I recall reading somewhere that Kleiner Perkins offered to not demand that she pay their attorney fees if she dropped the appeal.
She did offer to drop and they still made her pay anyway..... From New York Times: http://www.nytimes.com/2015/09...

Great post! Where are my mod points when I need them??

Just shut up...
AC, are you just trying to stir up shit or what?
Idiots like this are why "we can't have nice things"
Privacy issues aside, morons like this are why the drone-boys are going to be facing some new laws in the not-so-distant future.
Took the words right out of my mouth....

So if the management changes, the current management is not responsible for anything.
I'm not sure the judges will agree with that.
Why not? I could care less either way, but would YOU like to get hung for your predecessor's mis-deeds?? Wouldn't be fair to you, now would it....
No games require an i7. Not even wolfenstein, which runs fine on both my 4690K and 4790K pcs.
Ummmm....the 4790K IS a Core I7. So obviously you wouldn't have any problems running it.....

Who cares what you think, AC?

Millions of people watching other people play Minecraft. May God have mercy on us.
Or even Hearthstone, or Dota2 (thousands on a single channel!), or old Sega games?? They pack them in over on Twitch.....
