dammit, where are my mod points? I know now I am not the only food network watcher here!
Hrm... this post is missing a little something to spice it up; the Bang! as it were.
Actually, yes they do. I currently posses a HP server that has a 4 core Intel processor with a second available slot. They do have the ability to go eight way with two slots.

Yes, that is exactly what I meant by jackrabbiting. If you get up to speed quickly, you can then allow yourself to lightly maintain that speed or coast with little or no use of the battery. You end up using approximately the same amount of gas (eg if you go slowly to speed, you suck the battery down and need to recharge), but save as the battery impact is less and will reduce the gasoline engine recharge need, as you can use the kinetic energy more. I might add, this is good for larger streets where you have a fairly clear stretch of a mile or two ahead of you. Less space, you run into serious braking issues, more, and you end up having momentum issues. Bottom line, it took me a fairly long time to fully develop my technique. Check out any of the prius topic websites for more driving styles. Priuschat.com and toyotanation.com both have fairly good forums.
I am also a Prius owner (2004). I have routinely averaged 49 - 53 mpg on a weekly basis once I had the car for a month or so. It took a little getting used to some of the driving quirks to get the higher mpg (e.g. jackrabbiting of the light is actually a good thing), but overall, my driving style hasn't really changed from my previous vehicle (a Subaru wagon I totaled). I will admit, that I didn't really purchase this vehicle to be part of the Green movement, as I get open access to HOV with a single person, but I have become more conscious of my consumption the longer I have driven it.
I saw OSC at a book signing last Tuesday (Mar 15, 2005), and he had a few things to say in regards to the movie:
1. He was pleased with the selection of Benioff and Weiss due to their past performance on pictures such as Troy and 25th Hour.
2. The actors to play both Ender and Bean have, in his words "probably been born", but as of this moment are not old enough to really be on the radar.
3. Currently Wolfgang Peterson is slated to direct, and is happy and supportive of the project.
4. There is a specific clause in the contract to not change the ages of the characters, as this would shift the dynamic of the story in a direction that it should not go.
5. The main reason for combining Ender's Game and Ender's Shadow is so that a good deal of Ender's emotions (which, for those who have read Ender's Game, is a good deal of the book) will be able to be externalized, or become available to the the viewer.
Actually, the official DOD/Navy policy for harddrives that have been used in a SBU or secure environment is multifold. Process is as follows:
1. Determine if the HDD is SBU (Sensitive But Unclass) or Classified
2. Degauss device
3. Write random 0/1 to drive 2 times
4. If Classified, remove top of drive and either take a sledgehammer to it, or in large quantities, use other methods of destruction (Industrial trash compactor or incineration).
