Engine parts, mainly. As I understand, the MZR/Duratec engine (the 1.8L (in Europe) and 2.0L variants are used in the 2006+ Miata) is a Mazda design, but designed to use Ford's existing tooling and some parts for the Zetec motors, for the most part.
Also, Mazda tends to use a lot of Ford electronics lately. Even my 1992 Miata has a Ford airbag controller, IIRC.
Ford owns 33% of Mazda, and many Mazdas (the Mazda6, Mazda Tribute, and the B-series truck, among others) are built on Ford assembly lines, by Ford workers. And, EVERY current-production Mazda except for possibly the RX-8 has at least one Ford part in it.
No... this is different.
This would be like... Volvo (the truck company) using Saabs to shuttle executives around. A former competitor, but Volvo (the truck company) got out of the car business (selling their car manufacturing division to Ford.) But, still blasphemy.
Anyway, your body does adapt, but it's not really the weight in the pannier (or backpack, but I dislike riding with a backpack) that matters all that much. My bike is a very heavy older steel frame bike, I'm not a weight weenie when it comes to my equipment for riding with.
What does matter is the weight of the computer when you're carrying it around, using it all day.
I'm fairly fit, in summers, I cycle to work any time it doesn't rain, etc., etc.
I hate carrying a heavy laptop around.
My old 8.1 pound monster of an Inspiron 1100?:eek: My old 3.5 pound ThinkPad X21? Nice, very nice indeed... but it could've been lighter. My old 5.5 pound ThinkPad R51e? Too heavy. My 4.3 pound ThinkPad X61 Tablet? Could be lighter. My 4.9 pound iBook G4? Again, could be lighter.
An eee (or something similar) would be GREAT for me to have at work. Something small enough to be pocketable (in a large pocket... but I have those) for running around work, for logging stuff? Perfect.
Something tells me that the GP had a bit more than 128 MB RAM.
I find that XP is unusable with 128 MB RAM (we used to have a bunch of old P3 866 desktops with 128 MB RAM at work... I would start something, go IRC for a few minutes, and come back to it just finishing. And this was a task that would happen almost instantly on a newer machine.) 256 is marginal. 512 is decent for basic use. I can use 2 GB quite easily, though.
I would argue that it's actually just as easy to hit an Ubuntu system as it is a Windows system.
Take a binary application that happens to be a trojan, packaged in a.deb. The user expects to have to elevate it to root, because installing stuff ALWAYS requires a privilege elevation. Once the privileges are elevated, install scripts can do whatever they want.
It didn't say that the software had to be installed. Toss the (Win32) executable for some anti-spyware app in a directory, download a fresh executable daily.
Actually, quite a lot of people do use Office for the goal of using Office. Or, I should say, for the goal of 100% compatibility with other Office users.

But the preinstall comes with more than just XP.
XP + Office 2007 + Norton AntiVirus + a bunch of bloatware + some more bloatware = 3 CDs.

Unfortunately, you fail at making a car analogy.

In my defense, I said fairly fit, not fit. ;)

I'll note that OOo 1.x didn't actually require Java to be installed...
Yet OOo 2.x is actually faster...
Oh, and offtopic: G60, VR6, or some form of swap?
(I've not owned a Corrado, just a Jetta and Golf diesel.)
What about StarOffice, which they bought, and later forked into OpenOffice?

No, I think he meant rule 34.
But, rule 34 of Monster Cable lawyers and bigwigs... no thanks on that.

Simple.
Carmakers don't claim their cars are un-totallable.
Actually, 1920*1200 (that's... WUXGA?) does NOT share the same actual aspect ratio as CGA.
CGA was 4:3.
How did it do it?
Non-square pixels.

Hardly the first - about a year ago, someone on Beyond.ca got pics of some kid that did a hit and run, and said kid got caught because of it.
Indeed.
I recall seeing this at first... two weeks ago.

There, you're done.
It didn't say that the software had to be installed. Toss the (Win32) executable for some anti-spyware app in a directory, download a fresh executable daily.
apt-get install clamav for the antivirus.
And, apt-get install iptables for the firewall.

WINE almost certainly runs on Cygwin, which runs on Windows. :P
In many cities, they're instead reducing the yellow light time, to create more red light violations.
Problem is, with the compression used... 9600 baud is probably the most you could reliably do... which is not enough for things like Exchange.
Besides, I'm on Sprint, and unlimited EvDO is $15/mo. Unlimited 1xRTT is $7.50/mo.
Actually, a rickroll is more insiduous, because it doesn't violate the YouTube TOS, so it's much harder to avoid, even if someone's looking for it. ;)
;)
Speaking of rickrolls... check the featured videos on YouTube.
There's always registry emulation...
Except... I do believe that AVG (and Avast) aren't free for anything other than personal use.
That just makes you a crashing expert. ^_^
This is true, although I do have female friends that I'm OK with just being friends with. (Not saying I wouldn't do it given the chance.)
The brutally honest type are at least good for giving advice on other women, if nothing else...
