I got the exact same numbers (37-38mpg @ an avg 80mph on the highway) with my 03 accord between TX and FL roundtrip, a few years ago. After I did the mpg trip calculation on my first fill-up, I thought I did the math wrong in my head.
As soon as I read your comment, I immediately thought he should have call it PitBull or KeepBitter (get it... reverse engineering reverse name, unintended consequences. har har har)
1) It may take longer to develop such applications. So that would be the first requirement to go. (Do I use ASN.1 to describe my over-the-wire comms or should I use my own quick and dirty UDP protocol?)
2) 90%(TIC) of open source is actually a copy of something else, so any new formats are always ready to be implemented. However the immediate implementation is usually in the form of a new open source app with the newly created format.
3) This is so easy its not even funny.
a) Buy into a proprietary system, because open source/open standards based applications aren't visible/viable to PHBs. (Face it, very few open source/standard applications are seen as viable compared to an application that extends the open standard with proprietary extensions. This is for large "enterprise"-wide business systems, not some firewall or ethereal limited use app.)
b) The cost of said proprietary system appears cheaper (hence more value), since you have a large pool of developers who are specialized in said proprietary environment (given the developers see the proprietary system as a major share of the marketplace. Plus open source/open standards guys are usually more expensive, IMO. But its quantity not quality, the real incompatibility between the market and open standards.)
c) To protect its position in the marketplace, the proprietary vendor will continue to add features on top of any currently argued open standard. They'll take your features and add more so that they aren't compatible for complex applications.
Yeah, you lose the wallet, but you can get all your credit cards resent to you... they don't make you reapply for those credit cards.
Losing a wallet is like losing a jewel case, for the most part, no one cares about the jewel case, you care about what's inside it. Microsoft is afraid of piracy, and you have to go through additional hoops to reinstall if you lose that key, so they should offer replacements. Its not like their difficult to regenerate:) And it would be a tagible benefit to registering your product with them.
if i remember correctly, a certain scientist was said to have streaked (a form a jogging/running without clothes) after discovering an important scientific breakthrough, muttering "Eureka" or some such nonsense. I'm sure if he had gear like some of the others have posted about, he wouldn't have been naked:p
I could posit that Slashdot isn't geeky, because (and I believe this to be true as of this point) that no technological, engineering or scientific breakthroughs are actually achieved _BY_ slashdotting (slashcode aside;)). It's merely people enjoying reading about said breakthroughs after-the-fact, a pointless endeavor to be "informed" of "geeky" things.

These are pyramid scam variants called matrix scams. You pay to get put on the list. When enough money is gathered by people on the list, the person at the top of the list gets the item, at a cost close to the actual selling price. Reeks as bad as any other pyramid scheme, just the parameters of the scam are different.
The first link shown by the thread ancestor is a purchase to be put on one of these matrix lists. So in fact the user is basically trying a number of different methods to scam the person, either by directly putting them on the list through ebay, selling people links to the list through ebay, etc.
I hope you don't argue in return that pyramid schemes aren't a scam;)
a quick search for google should reveal your answers: a sample primer
in the case of unuable/newer/older cards; only the PCMCIA controller's adherence to whatever version of the PCMCIA standard was around when it was manufactured will determine if the card will work or not. ISA or PCI is irrelevant since the controller can be attached to either bus type. If you have an older controller chip you probably can't use the newer 3.3v/ cardbus/ dma cards, etc cause they weren't written into the specification yet.

That's the trouble with women, the faster you know they are, the harder it is to know where to find 'em.

Wrong physicist
And that's why he got so much tail, because he never believed in that stuff. They just gravitated toward him.

"What's new?" C over Lambda! At least that was what my high school chemistry teacher taught us. "E over H" doens't sound as funny.
