This paper argues that the long run total cost of operations (TCO) for a suite of proprietary software must necessarily be greater than that for an equivalent suite of free software, with the TCO benefits maximised in the case of the GPL and GPL-like free software...

The EPA has released the Top Ten List of fuel economy winners for year 2003. The top slots are occupied by the Hybrid electrics (as expected) followed closely by Diesel cars. Diesel fuel injection systems are responsible for some European cars able to achieve remarkable fuel efficiencies of upto 75 mpg. They also have lower emissions and are quieter to drive. Europe's embrace of Diesel powered vehicles has caused their refiners to unload their excess gasoline across the Atlantic helping keep gasoline prices at our pumps steady even if crude oil prices keep rising. Increasing the popularity of Diesel powered passenger vehicles has always been known to be a part of the solution to meet todays national environmental and energy goals. However, the lineup of cars with diesel engine options for the North American buyer is still very limited. I wonder why . Here is a website dedicated to Turbo Direct Injection Diesel (TDI) cars that are known to have phenomenal fuel efficiency. You can read more about fuel efficient diesel applications in this Diesel Forum .
I use broadband from AT&T (ATTBI) and they installed software from BroadJump mentioned here. The cable installer clicked on all the agreements for me. However, after I boot my NT machine I kill RegCon.exe and CFD.exe using the task manager before using the internet. You can use ZoneAlarm to shut out all spyware communication if there is any. I have not yet taken the risk of removing the software that was installed on my PC. If something stops working ( for whatever reason ) the last thing I would like is to be kept on HOLD for 1/2 hr by AT&T. I would like to know from others if removing BroadJump software is completely safe.
