They can't handle zillions of Slashbots trolling the Bugzilla database. Since it's their only bug reporting system, I can see why they don't want it trolled.
Also, here's the key pattern on most cars (from furthest back position to furthest forward position):
Accessory (radio, cigarette lighter (on some cars, lighter is always available), power windows, power moonroof/sunroof powered, all else off, steering wheel locked) Lock (everything off, steering wheel locked) Off (everything off, steering wheel unlocked (for steering with engine off)) On (everything on, steering wheel unlocked) Start (electronics off, engine cranking, steering wheel unlocked (for attempting a restart while driving))
Most people turn to lock when they turn the engine off, because that's where they always go. So, this could be quite dangerous if they accidentally go too far, as they then lose ALL steering.
I'm going to guess that he wasn't referring to low octane gas. He was referring to actual quality of gas. The places that have low quality gas should be avoided. Nothing wrong with putting 87 in, just don't put nasty 87 in.
I'm saying (and so is your parent, AFAICT) have someone independent that both Renault and he can agree on. Not Renault (they'd cover it up if it actually is a problem), and not his local mechanic (who might fabricate a problem).
And THIS is why the Electoral College should be abolished. Candidates shouldn't be winning states, they should be winning people. We have television, radio, and the Internet - forms of communication that are widely accessible. The EC was created so that farmers that didn't have access to the kind of information that we do today on candidates didn't throw elections. We don't have that problem any more.
Approval voting. IRV just delays the spoiler, but it's still got it. Also, it's got even nastier problems than plurality.
Approval works much like plurality, with one change (that makes it much better) - you can approve of (vote for) as many candidates as you want. Don't like any of them? Don't vote for any of them - it counts as one person voting for nobody (a blank ballot currently counts as an error). Love all of them? Go for it - it counts as one person voting for a bunch of candidates.

Whoa, mod ME troll?
WTF was that for?
I was just mentioning 7.60P1, with it's new features, and it's stability (being an alpha), and that the parent was misinforming the grandparent by suggesting 7.54. The only way to use 7.54 is to use Proxomitron to hijack the GMail pages to add a JavaScript implementation of the command that Opera doesn't support.
You are aware that Nehemiah is also the codename for the C5P, not just the C5XL, and this DP board runs two C5P Edens (read: the ones that could probably do 1.6 or 1.8GHz if you pushed stock voltage into them, but are clocked at 1GHz with a low voltage) - the fanless ones.
It won't do much of a change if it's MPEG2 stuff and/or the program isn't multithreaded. However, the OS can still be run on CPU 0, with the media player on CPU 1, and if it IS multithreaded, the playback thread on CPU 1, and everything else (OS, UI thread) on CPU 0.
There are three types of DVI ports. DVI-A (VGA with a DVI port instead of HD15), DVI-D (digital video signal with a DVI port), and DVI-I (VGA signal AND digital signal sent down a DVI port). My guess is it's DVI-I.
Actually, this does bring up a good point (actually, two). Why can't we build our own laptops? Someone needs to come up with a formfactor...
Actually, I do know why... Dell doesn't want to have people do their own repairs, because they can gouge the customers without them being able to do anything about it. Ditto for HP.
Also, why AREN'T there SMP laptops? VIA's shown a Mini-ITX board with dual Nano-BGA C3s. Why not do that on a laptop mobo? It'd be cooler than a desktop Pentium 4-based laptop (what I'm typing this on), and it might even be faster than this 2.2GHz piece of crap...
You suck. How'd you get 64MB of RAM in yours? My 405CS (same family) maxes out at 48MB of RAM, and a 32MB module is about $60, last I checked. (it has 8MB onboard). I thought it was only a few Tecra models that took that format of memory, and could go over 48MB RAM. I only have 16MB, FWIW.
I have a not-so-sucky battery (considering it's a nine year old battery). It doesn't last long when the laptop's not running (I can fill it, and then unplug it, and a day later, it won't boot, but I never booted it in the first place), but when the laptop is running, I can get about 2:30 if I'm careful. However, I used to be able to get about 3:45 if I was careful.
My backlight is very blotchy. The screen is 640x480x16 (unfortunately, the desktop-size-larger-than-screen-size trick only works to 256 colors on mine).
There's no CD drive, and I don't have a PCMCIA network card (unless you're counting the WiFi card, but that's CardBus, which this laptop doesn't support).
The keyboard got screwy when I was trying to find the CPU to see whether it was socketed or if it was TCP (TCP, so it was a waste of time). The mouse has been screwy the whole time I've had this laptop.
Installing the thin client system depends on the server's OS. If it's Windows NT Terminal Server, 2000 Server/Advanced Server/Datacenter, XP Pro, or Server 2003, just install Remote Desktop Connection (or, if the client is running Windows 3.1, Terminal Services Client, and if it's running Linux, rdesktop). If the server is anything else, try Ultr@VNC on Windows (ultravnc.sf.net - a TightVNC mod to add chat and filesharing capabilities - very nice, but there is no server for Linux - at least the client runs on Wine), and TightVNC on Linux. The client is ridiculously easy whether it's VNC or Remote Desktop. The server could be a little challenging if it's on Linux (I haven't gotten mine to work how I want yet - it starts KDE, and I DON'T want that - I can't experiment now, anyway, due to a botched overclocking attempt (233.333 to 262.500MHz).
FWIW, I'm guessing that GBrowser is either Gecko-based (more likely, SeaMonkey-based, with the mail client modified), or Presto-based (the only Presto-based browser is Opera 7.x). Opera's already got a deal with Google to advertise in their browser - maybe they'd license their browser to Google...

Mod parent troll, and go download 7.6 Preview 1. Speech capability (2K/XP only), medium-screen rendering (finally - no more pages wider than the screen), and last but not least, XMLGetHttpRequest (or whatever it's called) - the thing that GMail needs to work. It's a little unstable, but not bad, especially compared to a certain product from Redmond...
It's a piece of sh!t Dodge. Most of it's problems are with the electrical system, as with every Chrysler we've had. (OK, it blew a transmission when we were on a trip, and the power steering pump blew, but for the most part, problems were with the electrical system)
See, on this it's not the throttle itself that's sticking, only the pedal (or lever mechanism). Pulling up pulls the mechanism back in (and unsticks it for a while), and it works fine.
Also, I took it as that someone should only buy a car that they can handle without any power (steering, brakes) working. So, he's not saying "screw the New Beetle because it has power steering" (I'm not sure if it does, but I wouldn't be surprised), he's saying "if you can't handle a New Beetle when the power steering goes out, don't get one". Now, if you can't handle a New Beetle (not something like the RSi), you can't handle most cars.

Ah, I thought it was you could remove the key in Lock, but it locked in lock, key or not.
Although, we had a car that was fscked, and let you take the key out in any position (even On)...

It was a reference to the fact that Mini-ITX boards fit into toasters.
Now, AMD DOES make a Mini-ITX board, but it uses even less power than VIA's chips (the Geode NX DB1500).
It's like a 64-bit version of Intel's Shelton (1GHz Banias with NO L2 cache) competing with the A64. How about that?
Actually, that's a little myth about the C3. It's a Cyrix in name only. If you want a Cyrix, get a pre-NX Geode from AMD.
It's a Centaur chip. Centaur was the division of IDT that made the WinChip (slow, but VERY cool), and then IDT sold it off to VIA.

GBrowser.com give you any clue there?

No... With BitTorrent, your download is slow if you're not giving much. It means you actually pay for leeching.
It was the pump. We got that fixed.
It's a piece of sh!t Dodge. Most of it's problems are with the electrical system, as with every Chrysler we've had. (OK, it blew a transmission when we were on a trip, and the power steering pump blew, but for the most part, problems were with the electrical system)

Try a Dodge Ram 250 without power steering (pump failure) at 55mph, and post again.
Used cars?
Also, I took it as that someone should only buy a car that they can handle without any power (steering, brakes) working. So, he's not saying "screw the New Beetle because it has power steering" (I'm not sure if it does, but I wouldn't be surprised), he's saying "if you can't handle a New Beetle when the power steering goes out, don't get one".
