New regulations are being ushered through to eliminate a lot of the computerized systems in F1 cars. No more fancy traction control, the engines are going to be smaller, and there might even be an honest manual gearbox in future seasons. I doubt this will effect the telemetry advances, you still need all that data. What it will do is eliminate the edge Ferrari and BMW Williams have over everyone...
Go out and look for articles on the changes. I read a great piece in Autoweek a month or two ago.
Yeah, now that Mercedes has released it's new E Class with a CDI diesel engine you can have your cake and eat it too. Luxury, performance and fuel economy. With 369 lbft. of torque at 1,800 rpm it probably has better than average acceleration for a 4,000 pound car. Even if you don't use biodiesel this is a great fuel saver for luxury car buyers with 37 mpg highway and in the high twenties in the city.

And you know what they use to control emissions in the US market with higher sulpher content fuels. A urea injection system... That's right... Urea is sprayed into the mix with fuel and air.
So when is iTunes going to support ogg, flac, and shn thanks to or without the use of this of this SDK?
I started using it last month over Winamp and kinda miss those capabilities... and where do you let it allow songs to flow into one another without pause? Is that option in the program?
I don't think this is as bad as bloodforoil.org sending me spam. Which I have gotten numerous e-mails from today. Pop ups, while a bad marketing decision are paid for placement advertising. They're probably on sights like foxnews.com that has a conservative audience that will repsond to them. Blood for Oil is indescriminately spewing out full color images that fill the screen of most viewers when opened. I personally believe their political views are misguided, and now know their technology use is even more misguided.
It doesn't say that it includes the TV capability. However, audio functions work without any additional hardware at all out of the box. No HD, Processor, or memory required...
Interesting idea if you really want to save power. I'd rather fork over a few more cents per hour and have the capability to actually do something with the media though at a moments notice.
Comcast did the same thing... $19.95 for three months and then your rate goes to... $159.90 with digital cable and cable internet. I'll be changing my plan very soon.
Mozilla is great, but I stopped using it today...

Because Firebird plays nicely "out of the box" so to speak with MS Outlook, and my customers want that. I know it's a horrible notion to some the overall goal is to convert folks on using these pieces of OSS has to be gentle and user friendly. Business users get Firebird suggested to them and home users Mozilla. I haven't touched IE for daily browsing in a couple years now thanks to these awesome browsers.
Mindstorms are used across the country to teach elementary school students robotics, programming, and non-technical skills like teamwork. This is very disappointing news considering that there are few products that could easily caputre the imagination and bring sophisticated concepts to a high enough level of abstraction for children. Kill the movie licensing deals, but find some way to save these products! I know that's irrational to ask from the company from the point of view of a consumer, so this message is to the population at large, find one of these robotics contests and get involved or create one!
I agree in large part to this...

But, remember around 1990~ or so that the reason that so many people went PC was for economic reasons? The.edu market slipped and fell into the corporate save a buck regime.
I think Sun may have a winner with the Java Desktop... though the Java in the desktop is suspect... it's Linux... You show people how to save money AND get the job done and they're converts...
We do still have to plug away at high performance in a few areas that make the most gains... Keep the storage, I/O, and a few emerging gadgets supported... The core of the computing experience... That's what wins users... I'm drunk... and I still make more sense than the general computing public.
Not IT, but probably what convinced me to stay in IT for the moment... Junior Mechanical Engineer at a casket company... What a shiny happy place that must be to work in...
I remember back in the day working for an independent label in Nashville, the head asked us to snag some songs off of Napster for his kids before they shut the service down. If you ask me I think the problem is that these people want their cake and to eat it too. They use pitch correction and all the great things tech affords them to manufacture music. P2P is the disease that simply makes that an invalid way to do business. I find it ironic and sometimes hilarious. I remember a piece done on the local news about how wonderful it was that a country star could stay at home and record his vocal tracks. Get off your ass and get to the studio! Interact with the musicians, that's what you're supposed to be! Makes me sick... Also, I'm originally from Chattanooga, and agree with you it is shocking how uninvolved with state government people are when you get outside of the interstate loop around the city of Nashville. We need to encourage each other to do something about our lack of knowledg work and that 9.25% sales tax rate... Yes folks it's almost 10% here. Chattanooga's problem with tech stems from the fact that the government there doesn't encourage anything besides tourism in a big way. That's half the reason why I moved away, though it is easily one of the most beautiful places on earth. Seriously I think that city would be a great place for some automotive suppliers, every other city in TN has several large operations. Nashville's economy is pretty strong although it seems way too focused on health care... I'm also convinced that someone could go in and turn the local ISP's in Chattanooga upside down, because their customer service is lacking... Nice to see a post from a well informed Chattanoogan. Yes folks we call ourselves Chattanoogans...
HTML-Kit by Chami and can be found at www.chami.com is an excellent editor for programming. It has the ability to plug in modules. It is one of the primary reasons I still use Windows at all. There are some OSS solutions coming of age but nothing I like well enough yet.

When it used to be called the hospitality business. If my neigborhood bars were as friendly as the DMV asking for pictures and keeping profiles on customer behavior... They wouldn't survive. This will not survive long... Think of your average college sports bar trying to keep up with photos of every out of town fan on game day.
Keep the tech out of bars for the good of us all. Even the idea of a glass that reports when a drink is getting empty is a waste of time. Remember that story? Work on the people skills and good judgement of your staff first.
Back when I was coding in ColdFusion I used to think that Netscape was the chief offender of standards. I used IE primarily and then came back and re-tooled for all the rest. Opera being often the easiest with a few quirks.
When Mozilla reached 1.0 I switched to it... I have never looked back. The support for PNG is better, transparent PNG graphics drive IE nuts sometimes. IE still leaves gaps around graphics and tables that you have to hammer out to a minumum but cannot eliminate. I think it has a lot to do with interpretations of the box model... padding, margin, border and such... Someone isn't doing their homework to comply. Personally the Mozilla way makes better sense to me. Netscape 4.7 sucked... no question about it, it was stagnent for a long time and didn't grow with technology standards. Gecko has made some great strides that are now leaving the MS browser lagging though in a a few areas.
Called his secretary Wilma... got her voicemail box... it was full. I was going to see if they would like to buy a Telezapper. God knows they're going to need it now.
Yeah, bought it off e-bay and not only did it have a copy of Windows 2000 on it but it had lots of credit card numbers I could buy cool new gear with! Thanks Seagate...
It would be kinda cheesy like a copy of "The Scream" on a throw pillow I have. However, it would be so cool to have a conversation piece like this on my desk. Thinkgeek people... call Sanborn and get cracking, I want one for Christmas... Who else does?

Mac, they actually had a big sponsorship deal for it. As did several movies in the late 90's in which the heroes used Powerbooks.
What did they think, that if you sent an invoice to someone's accounting department that they wouldn't notice and just pay the bill?!
Hey... actually that idea isn't half bad.
