  1. Re:Fighting the Greenhouse Effect on When Alcohol And Airplanes Make A Good Mix · · Score: 0

    > doesn't produce C02 like regular fuel.

    CH3CH2OH + 3(O2) = 2(CO2) + 3(H2O) + heat

    2(C8H18) + 25(O2) = 16(CO2) + 18(H2O) + heat

    by burning? and volumetrically Ethanol is about 1/2 as efficient as octane . . . err, and since when is CO2 a greenhouse gas? Might as well put N2 and O2 on that list while you're at it.

    Probably from the Dutch: "Zud" for south.

  3. Re:off topic? on Daemon News Publishing FreeBSD CDs · · Score: 0

    Ah, modems! PCI, too! Maybe the handbook has something which would cover this ( http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/index.html ): mostly, you make sure that PnP is built into the kernel (I THINK it is in GENERIC), you make sure that the interface matching your modem (com port, irq, drq, io, whatnot) actually matches and you . . . okay, so I'm lost here, I have an ethernet connection to the internet. Anyway, it's in the handbook.

  4. Re:What happens after FreeBSD 4.4 then? on Wind River lays off FreeBSD developers; Q&A · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Well, according to the news, nothing. I'm assuming 5.x is mostly toast for now, 4.x is supported but not officially developed from now on. I'd hate to say that FreeBSD is dead, but (and this is as a FreeBSD user since 4.0) it appears that the appelation, at least, is dead. Locked up in the hands of WR and not going anywhere. Hopefully, something nice will happen and it will get bought by or transferred to someone of a wholesome and *BSD-tropic nature. Nice to see that BSD/OS is ostensibly going to continue, but what innovations have ever come OUT of BSD/OS? I have been under the impression that BSD/OS is the glue factory for our doddering developments over on the Free side of things.

    Anywhoo, WR is gone, long live King Hubbard!

  5. Re:I really hope these releases do well on FreeBSD Upcoming Release Dates · · Score: 1

    Two things: FreeBSD is not about dead ahead speed, although when configuered correctly it is easily as fast as Linux on a uni-processor. The other? Look at the longest uptimes on http://www.netcraft.com/ See any Linux in there? See any Win(9x/NT/cheese loader)? See more than ONE Solaris?

  6. Hmm, Back to MoDems we go . . . on DSLBlaster? · · Score: 1

    The main difference (as I read the site) is that your modem is in software rather than hardware. How about working up an 1/8" audio to rj-11 adaptor and just pretend it's a modem?
