No. Sulfur is not a lubricant, nor has it ever been. The process that removes sulphur also removes the lubrication. It's not a problem with any modern diesel. Europe has been running 15 ppm for quite a while. The problem with sulphur is that it messes with after treatment catalysts and creates sulphuric acid in the oil. Without the low content extended oil change interval in Europe is along the lines of 30k miles for most modern diesel cars.
Second, I never said that it would pass emissions or safety standards. The statement that I was replying to was "Most cars from that era I remember hearing about got a solid 8 MPG.".
And to your sibling: It wasn't politics, it was GM screwing up their diesel engines so badly that everyone associated Diesel with unreliable, won't start in the winter, smelly, etc.
Just get something that supports VDPAU. Contrary to what most new system builders think, you do not need a quad core 2.5gHz CPU to play back video when you have hardware acceleration.
I bought the cheapest CPU/Mobo bundle with gigabit ethernet at Newegg. It was a 1.8gHz Celeron with 1GB of RAM. Everything accelerated with a GT220.
I've played a blueray rip with 0 studdering. The only time I get studdering is when SABnzbd is finishing unrarring a file. As long as you are using it for JUST an HTPC you should be fine. It's not completely fanless, but I can't hear it behind from 12' away.
Asus Revo 1600s are on sale for $140-160 refurbed and should work great.
That's it. I wanted to use Linux. I read every single manual I could. There seemed to be 10 different ways to do the same thing and the documentation was never quite there. I could just never get it working the way I wanted to.
With virsh and virt-manager setting up another OS is cake. I'm running Debian64 as DomU and Windows7 under HVM.
Hint: Not everyone cares about the politics of china, graphic designers or flash.
In mechanical engineering my books were/are invaluable. There is yet an online resource (and I've searched) that has as much material laid out as well as it does. Equations for four bar linkages, friction disks, thermodynamics, heat and mass transfer, etc haven't changed much in the last decade (or longer).
One HUGE regret I have is selling some of my books for pennies on the dollar. When referencing material that you spent a semester learning, nothing beats opening the exact book you used to help you remember.
Heck when I had to retake a course because I transfered schools I kept my original text book and used it in the new class along side my new book.
One thing that did irk me is that we did never use the full book, even in follow up courses. ME 352 would have Book A and we'd use chapters 1-10, but ME 452 would have Book B and we'd use 10-20. Even though they were the 'same material'.
If I had the cash and was a professor I you could make a killing off of leasing books to students. Estimate that over the next 5 years you're going to have no more than 300 students / semester. Figure that 100 books will be stolen lost or damaged and you won't change from said book.
So you buy 400 books at 100 each, you're out $40,000. Lease books to students for $20* a semester. After 5 years you'll have made $20k profit and still have usable books.
My private elementary school had the some of the same books for close to 15 years. Each year you HAD to cover your books with grocery bags and take care of them. If a 3rd grader can take care of a Math book for an entire year, a college student can do it for a semester.
*$100 with $80 refund. They're going to come out better than if they bought and sold from the book store. You're going to turn a huge profit.
The million dollar 'best kept secret' is if there will be a Verizon version. AT&T just jacked up the prices for early termination. They think they bought themselves a lifeline with the 6 month extension with the iPad deal.
Back in the day the carrier held all the cards. AT&T wanted a multi-year agreement just to even carry the iPhone. Now Apple is in good enough of a position to say "Hey, so we want some kickass prices on iPad data plans, what will you offer." And all AT&T got out of it was a 6 month extension? Unless they signed some air tight confidentiality agreement all Apple has to say is "yeah, this is an LTE/WiMax phone" and it's more or less a given that it'll be available for Verizon and/or Sprint.
Define loose[sic] the market. Mac has "lost" the PC wars, yet Apple remains very much in the black.
Apple sold 2.94 million Macintosh computers during the quarter, representing a 33 percent unit increase over the year-ago quarter. The company also sold 8.75 million iPhones in the quarter, representing 131 percent unit growth over the year-ago quarter. iPod sales came in at 10.89 million units, representing a one percent unit decline from the year-ago quarter.
"We're thrilled to report our best non-holiday quarter ever, with revenues up 49 percent and profits up 90 percent," said Steve Jobs, Apple's CEO. "We've launched our revolutionary new iPad and users are loving it, and we have several more extraordinary products in the pipeline for this year."
As of this year, they're in the Top 10 companies globally for Market Cap.
WHO CARES IF THEY AREN'T #1! Apple set out to make good devices and a good UI for people. They're profitable doing so.
Then again I guess Kia, BMW, Benz, Chrysler, Renault, and Fiat are loosing[sic] the Automotive Market because they're not Toyota (1), GM (2) or VW (3).
If you're not about to start, why would you circulate oil? A good oil pump should have your gallery fully pressurized in a few seconds. If only there was a patent on a technology to tell engines about when they were going to start.
You assume the oil pump is mechanically driven like it is today. Large diesel engines, the ones that are used for emergency standby power generation have oil pumps that are run off of grid power.
VW (and other car manufacturers probably) already have cars that shut off at stop lights. The "3L" car they made (78.4 MPG, no batteries required) shuts down at stop lights. All this is doing is making it 'intelligent'.
You're going to run into one of two problems. 1) By time the kids grow up everything in industry will have changed. 2) You can't afford what they use in industry with a HS budget, even the [college] student licenses.
I'm a mechanical engineer. I make my living using Matlab, Simulink, CANape and some internal company programs.
I went to HS with Windows ME (with MacOS 7/8 at home) I honestly don't ever even remember using them. Our "Physics Lab" was an Apple II running some highly custom software and hardware. (Running lasers to time ball bearings going down ramps and such). I learned the basics of programming with TI-Basic. In college I picked up Java, C, & Matlab/Simulink.
Now I run 10.6 at home and XP at work. Something no one could have predicted back in the day. Teach the kids the basics. If someone 'gets' how to program, it doesn't matter. If someone 'gets' chemistry, it doesn't matter if they're drawing them on paper or in some 3D model.
And I haven't priced a student's version of Matlab recently, but I know my seat at work runs 20k. Simulink doesn't make too much sense until you've had DiffEq. I haven't used Octave enough to know how compatible it is. CANape... well you'd need quite a bit of money for the stuff to run it on. There's a reason there are a half dozen solid modeling programs, because companies use different ones. And with my short time with most of them, they're completely different. AutoCAD, CATIA, ProE, SolidWorks, etc.
Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge: Look, Mr. Scott, I'd love to explain everything to you. But the captain wants this spectrographic analysis done by 1300 hours. Scotty: [thinks about it some time] You mind a little advice? Starfleet captains are like children. They want everything right now and they want it their way. But the secret is to give them only what they need, not what they want. Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge: Yeah. Well, I told the captain I'd have this analysis done in an hour. Scotty: How long would it really take? Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge: [annoyed] An hour! Scotty: [looks unbelieving] Oh. You didn't tell him how long it would REALLY take, did you? Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge: Of course I did. Scotty: Oh, laddie. You've got a lot to learn if you want people to think of you as a miracle worker.
The minimum size of the dome, which 'represents elastic rebound doming of the Earth crust triggered by the impact' is 50 km across, but the full size of the crater could be significantly larger, [lead researcher Andrew Glikson] told Australian Geographic. 'It would be possibly 100 km.'
Andrew estimates that the asteroid which struck the Timor Sea was between 5 and 10 km in size.
And the timeline of ZeroConf: The IETF Zeroconf Working Group was chartered September 1999 and held its first official meeting at the 46th IETF in Washington, D.C., in November 1999. By the time the Working Group completed its work on Dynamic Configuration of IPv4 Link-Local Addresses and wrapped up in July 2003, IPv4LL was implemented and shipping in Mac OS (9 & X), Microsoft Windows (98, ME, 2000, XP, 2003), in every network printer from every major printer vendor, and in many assorted network devices from a variety of vendors. IPv4LL is available for Linux and for embedded operating systems.
May 2002: Apple announced their Zero Configuration Networking solution under the product name Rendezvous.
That's like 'blaming' Apple for Wireless networking because they're one of the first vendors to actually use 802.11b back when they just called it "Airport".
It was still hard to find 'wireless' cards/access points that weren't freakishly expensive in 2001 when I went to college. And when I finally did get a Card in early 2002, the utilities to actually manage it were useless.
However, Apple debut it in 1999: "AirPort debuted on July 21, 1999 at the Macworld Expo in New York City with Steve Jobs picking up an iBook supposedly to give the cameraman a better shot as he surfed the Web."
You might as well have said: So thanks apple! Not only are you taking up most of the packets with the mDNS that you "invented" it was all possible over the wireless network that you also "invented".

VW's 1978 Diesel Rabbit got around 50 MPG.

With a truckload of epinephrine.
Not every OS shuns Xen as a Dom0 like Linux seems to. I run Open Solaris this is what it took to get running:
pfexec pkg install xvm-gui
pfexec svcadm enable milestone/xvm
pfexec reboot
That's it. I wanted to use Linux. I read every single manual I could. There seemed to be 10 different ways to do the same thing and the documentation was never quite there. I could just never get it working the way I wanted to.

So, debsums?
#1: There are numerous ways to do this.
#2: ...
plug:~$ time dpkg -L debsums
real 0m0.155s
user 0m0.160s
sys 0m0.000s
Seemed pretty fast to me.

If you were an engineer yes, it was atypical. If you weren't an engineer then sounds about right.
You are joking I hope.
Fuck OpenSSH/SSL, all the BSD projects, GPL OR BUST!

Gasoline is generally used for passenger vehicles because GM screwed up the images for diesels in the 70s for Americans.
Most of europe is diesel (as well as Manual transmissions)

You assume the oil pump is mechanically driven like it is today. Large diesel engines, the ones that are used for emergency standby power generation have oil pumps that are run off of grid power.
Then you disable the "eco fuel mode" All the stop light does is suggest that you should power down or you restart the car.
And how would you get 'stuck' in an intersection?
Hell I already power my car down on long stop lights never, not once, ever had a problem.
VW (and other car manufacturers probably) already have cars that shut off at stop lights. The "3L" car they made (78.4 MPG, no batteries required) shuts down at stop lights. All this is doing is making it 'intelligent'.
