Lasers. If we have another cold war, it will move into space as both sides will put up antiballistic missile satellites which then would have to be defended. Whoever controlls the moon can use laser weapons (only thing practical, but apparently, they have some that could be effective at that range) against orbital (satellite and missile) targets.
True, but those certified technicians tend to cost a lot more than other techs. My friend was looking for a VW certified tech and they all charged insane prices.
cars aren't electronic. Your radio isn't powered by an explosive vapopr blowing up inside it. also, cars last a looong time. How many 10 year old radios are there. How many 10 year old cars are there. Plus, cars are too expeniive to be a throway item. When a radio breaks, i throw it away. When a $10000 car breaks i fix it.
Won't happen. The american companies at least rely too much on the service anywhere advantage. Plus, for this to work, all the companies would have to do it at the same time. But the car companies are not the airline companies, they aren't cozy. Hell, there are 4 countries with major presences in the industry.
Well, i sorta agree. I have a 99 crown vic. When something major dies, i have to take it in (gota get something i can work on for next car). But i still do some stuff under the hood. When a line starts leaking (it's a ford remember) i need to add fluid other than washer fluid. I like being able to get the oil changed anywhere and i add stp in the winter when it gets cold. The artice never addreesses the batery, though in some cars the betteries are in the trunk, so that might be why, but if the battery is under the hood, how can you get a jump or install and amp as Hifi buys probobly won't open the sealed hood?
If the car's on fire you do not want to open the hood unless you have a fire extinguisher that can put it out. With the hood on, the fire can't get much oxygen adn will either burn slow or even go out while if you open the hood, it can bun as fast as it can find flammable stuff.
The "Hood" is one peice, so there is no "hatch" like a traditional car. But it's still removable for access. The headline suggests the engine is completely sealed off to prevent anyone but the manufacturer from touching the insides.
It says in the article that it would be removable by a volvo technician. That doesn't mean her husband's friend[1] down the street nor does it mean the mechanic they've been going to forever and trust. They either got to take the car into the dealership and pay out the ass or take it to a specialty mechanic they know nothing about and pay out the ass.
[1]I'm figuring any man that would let his wife buy this can't change a spark plug either
Take it to the approved volvo dealership (cause most mechanics wouldn't touch a car that wasn't designed to be opened) and pay $250 an hour for him to do it. duh.
EV1servers can be sued for GPL infringement No they can't. The GPL is a distrobution liscense. Since EV1 doesn't distribute linux they can do whtever they want with linux including paying SCO to use it.
He is just being conservative and figures that it's worth paying for liscenses (he peobobly got a better deal the $699 as well) instead of risk a lawsuit. While i (and many/.ers) feel that SCO will not live long enough to go after someone as small as this company, if they for some reason did, it would cost more than whatever they paid for liscenses to defend.
Sorry to be OT, but the oo.org people should make oo for osx act more like a mac app. It should use command instead of control for stuff. That's my biggest pet peave with the X11 version. ^S is not how you save. Some other little things would make it a viable contender on the mac even it it's still x11 only and looks like something written by SUN.
Coming Soon...Commadore 64. This time 64 stands for 64 bits. The fastest computer available with a front panal. Get yours today before they disappear again!
He said "when the fans turn on" If he's recording and encoding on the fly (Btw, OP: don't encode on the fly, that might solve your problem right there) and the hard drive's been spinning for a while, the fans will turn on and the thing can get lound. The oly time this has ever happened to me was ehrn i ran the hardware test thing, but if he's getting heavy fan load, it can get as loud as a PC.
The services exist for differet domains. MS can buy insurance becasue if there was no insurance and they let the domain reg. lapse, there is a good chance someone else would reguister the domain making a big nuiscence for ms. TWLS is for a domain that you think wil lapse soon, but don't want to have to be the first person to try and reg it before some bot that autoregisters names to resell gets it. Both make it more convinent for the consumers.

I see you've never fed your hdd a keg of beer.

Considring the new volvo drives like a tarus and costs twice as much it is already limited to people with more money than sense.

Windows was designed by women for women.
Actually, i get the feeling that windows wasn't designed at all. More like crashing a Yugo into a parts truck, imo.

They shoot stuff in space that goes on tv. Some female astronauts proboblly feel much more comftorble on camera if they're wearing makeup.
Martian in a chevy nova stole a wheel off the rover casue he had a flat tire.
They'll sue Microsoft because they seem to have a thing for suing companies that can crush them. (I know ms has paid for a liscense. Just laugh)

Last time I checked, Windows' upgrades from one version to the next were not free by any definition.
Yes it is. Its free as in Kazaa.
