There's actually a ridiculously easy to hack implementation of Eliza in Python. Now, if it had some simple state system added to it, so it understood the previous information, it would pass Turing tests for cybersex VERY easily.
How about both (execute bit, AND only executing.EXE,.COM,.PIF, and.SCR), and giving a message whenever any process other than CMD.EXE attempts to spawn a.COM? (IIRC, some of the command line tools might still be.COM files, and there's other legitimate reasons to run a.COM from the command line.)
I forget whether DOS apps still get PIFs on NT - I know they do on 9x/ME, and it might just be a carryover from that.
However, the older diesels even *RECOMMENDED* such a practice.
FWIW, the method usually used to lower gel point on commercial biodiesel is to add kerosene. Kerosene kills your lubricity, but since you're adding it to biodiesel, which has ridiculously high lubricity, you should be fine. I've heard numbers of 20 and 30% kerosene. The advantage of kerosene over gasoline is that kerosene is still closely related to diesel, and will burn in a diesel engine without any issues except for the lubricity. (note that JP-8, the primary military fuel, is 98 or 99% kerosene)
I know it sounds like a violation of the law of thermodynamics, but it isn't.
If you put in x energy to obtain the biodiesel, and get x * 3 energy from the biodiesel itself, you win. The energy that is being obtained from the biodiesel is actually solar energy, which, while technically a finite resource, isn't going to run out in our lifetimes, or those of our children, etc., etc. Unless humans survive, what, another 5 billion years?
If I could mod you down, I would, but I've already posted a comment.
Anyway, I've been behind many Volkswagen Jetta TDIs, and not noticed much exhaust of any kind.
So, just because it's diesel doesn't mean that it's smoky. Direct injection (the DI part of TDI) and a turbocharger (the T part of TDI) can get rid of almost all of the smoke, to the point that the smoke is no longer visible.
Not everyone knows to go digging in Group Policy (gpedit.msc, FWIW), go to Administrative Templates>System under Computer Configuration, and enable "Disable autoplay".
Actually, it could be argued that AMD makes one heck of an appliance.
Yes, it runs Windows. However, it's a rather obscure variant of Windows, blending WinCE and XP. Hopefully that doesn't mean that it's open on BOTH sides, instead of none.

Half a megabyte can fit this Python script, which is very easy to hack around, and the Python runtime, quite easily, IIRC.

Four letters: ATDP.
That would have taken a LITTLE longer, but no picking up phones, as your modem would have been in pulse mode the whole time.
No, but Wiktionary does.
So does Urban Dictionary.
So does Merriam-Webster Open Dictionary.

If you REALLY want to play the gasoline-in-a-modern-diesel game, here's a thread over at TDIClub on it...

Two words: direct injection.
Three more words: computer controlled engines.
It's a very bad idea on any modern diesel.
However, the older diesels even *RECOMMENDED* such a practice.

Water vapor is the gaseous form of water. It's fog that's liquid water in suspension in air.
However, do they HAVE to continue service, or is the government simply allowing them to continue it for them?
As I understood what I've been hearing, it was that they were allowed to continue service for the government.
You know, I'd like to see RIM just shut their entire service down, and hold their government customers hostage.
I think the government would start singing a different tune, you know?
*sigh*
How 'bout you RTFA? That'd tell you that they aren't doing single-letter TLDs, just single letter domains within the existing TLDs.
I would want it (in fact, I'd also want a two letter TLD) if I were trying to create a TinyURL competitor.
tinyurl.com is 11 characters.
u.cc is four.
In places like, oh, SLASHDOT SIGS, that'd help a lot.
Last I checked, 8 was a number.
How many domain names start with 8?
Umm... yes, we do.
FWIW, it's not just ScuttleMonkey - note that this is CmdrTaco that did this.
Actually, a PVM - Personal Video Manager.
It's what you get when you put XP MCE on a box without a TV tuner card, not just put MythTV on a Mac.
Lisa?
That was a code name, IIRC. They ended up reverse acronym-izing it, but it certainly didn't begin life as a real name...
Umm... that battery is for the wireless controller, not the console.
And... there's another benefit that your comment reminded me of.
When you extract the oil from the soybeans, you end up with a byproduct (IIRC, 80% of the mass of the soybeans) that can be fed to... CATTLE!
While soy biodiesel is one of the least efficient ways to make biodiesel (rapeseed and hemp are MUCH more efficient), it's got very usable byproducts.
Umm... that's really short-sighted.

Well, technically, it could be viewed as a spamfilter with x number of buckets, x being the number of keywords available in adsense.
A message would be scored on each keyword, and get sorted into one or more buckets based on how it scored on each keyword.
There are spam filters that work exactly like that. POPfile comes to mind.
