I also have a 2000 Saturn, but it's a manual LS with the ecotec, so I average 28 mpg. I did get 40 mpg one time though, and usually get 35 on interstate only.
So I guess I'm supposed to toss out my perfectly good video card and disable my onboard sound just because there are no good linux drivers?
I'm cheap. That's why I am running the hardware I am. By the way, I didn't say my drivers didn't work, they work, just not well. They were easy to install, but difficult to get running. As an example, hardware openGL is slow as molasses, and sound only works with OSS, not Alsa, but has no volume control. Volume works in Totem, but in nothing else. Little things like that drive me nuts.
It's a moot point as far as I am concerned. I can't get 3d support to work properly for my Radeon 8500 using ATI's drivers. I can't get my CMI 9738 sound to work properly either. Both drivers work, but just don't work nearly as well as they do in windows. Not only that, getting the drivers to even work at all was a pain in the butt compaired to the ease of install on windows.
Until drivers install and work as well in linux as they do in wondows, it will never be mainstream.
Transgaming's WineX 4.0 is useless without good drivers on the linux side.
From the 32k video feed I was watching, it looked like a Long Eze. But then again, with the quality of the video I was watching, any canard platform other than a Wright Flyer probably would have looked like a Long Eze.
I liked the comment the pilot made about opening a Package of M&M's in the cockpit while weightless. He said he enjoyed seeing them float around and that they are all over the place inside. Thought it was neat he had a little time to mess around with fun stuff.
Sounded like the Simpson's bit when Homer opened a bag of chips. I think Burt Rutan used alot of inanimate carbon rods in the construction oF the ship too.
They weren't even close with the picture on our magazine. I live in a rural community in Iowa (pop.1200) that doesn't have mail service to the house. Have to pick up the mail at the post office. Anyhow, we got a circled picture of a farm field. Didn't even get a portion of the town in the picture. Every online mapping service can never get our street address right either. They alway locate it about 1/2 a mile to the south(which is still in town). Springville, Iowa 52336
Interesting.. Using Mozilla 1.6 and Adblock plugin. Doesn't say that when using Lynx.. wonder if you set ident string to lynx in mozilla if blocks would work?

Kenneth Barbalace Creator of EnvironmentalChemistry.com How to Disable Ad Blocking Software There are scores programs and services on the market that offer banner ad blocking abilities. As such we will only focus on a few of the most common programs.
* Symantec Norton Internet Security: If you are using Symantec's "Norton Internet Security" software, banner blocking may have been turned on without your knowledge. You can turn off ad blocking in Symantec NIS by opening Norton Internet Security. In the main window, double-click Ad Blocking and then uncheck "Ad Blocking".
* ZoneAlarm Pro firewall: If you are using the firewall ZoneAlarm pro, you can turn off ad blocking under the tab "Privacy" and then slide the "Ad Blocking" control to the off position.
* AdSubtract: If you ar using AdSubtract, right mouse click on the AdSubtract icon in your task tray (looks like an orange circle with a plus and minus sign) and select "Disable AdSubtract".
* WebWasher: If you are using WebWasher, right mouse click on the WebWasher icon in your task tray (looks like a blue circle with a white "W" and then select "Deactivate standard filter".

Electrically stimulated colonic reservoir for total anorectal reconstruction.
Hughes SF, Scott SM, Pilot MA, Williams NS.
Surgical Unit, Royal London Hospital, Whitechapel, London, UK.
Total anorectal reconstruction after abdominoperineal excision of the rectum has failed to achieve perfect continence. Electrically stimulated reservoir evacuation in combination with an electrically stimulated gracilis neoanal sphincter might improve results. A J pouch was constructed in an isolated colonic loop of seven dogs. Bipolar square wave pulses were delivered via two intramural stainless steel electrode pairs at 10 Hz. Stimulation parameters were varied to achieve adequate contraction. Serosal strain gauges recorded spontaneous and stimulated pouch motility. Evacuation was quantified by a volume displacement technique and observed fluoroscopically. Recordings were performed for a median of 3 (range 1-11) months. At 10 Hz and 0.5 ms pulse width, stimulation was required for 2 min and at voltages of 15 V (n = 4), 18 V (n = 1) and 20 V (n = 2) to obtain a contraction of amplitude comparable to that of a spontaneous contraction. Suprathreshold stimulation invariably resulted in colonic pouch contraction. The mean(95 per cent confidence interval (c.i.)) stimulus-response latency was 25.5(1.9) s. The mean(95 per cent c.i.) intraluminal pressure generated during stimulation was 114.1(17.0) cmH2O and 64.6(12.0) cmH2O during spontaneous activity (P 0.001). In conclusion, electrical stimulation via intramural electrodes produced contraction generating sufficient intraluminal pressure to effect evacuation of a canine colonic pouch. This has potential for incorporation with an electrically stimulated neoanal sphincter in total anorectal reconstruction to improve evacuation and continence.
I got a bunch of Chris Isaak at a lan meet. (open shares) My wife liked it so much she bought the CD's. RIAA got screwed anyway as she bought them used on Amazon. $32 total for 6 CD's shipped to our house.
I have bought tons of stuff from things I have heard after downloading them. But I always either buy directly from the artist's site, or buy used.
Because with an automated tape robot you can get a ton of storage for cheap. We have a 180 tape AIT3 that we will be upgrading to 360 tapes and AIT4 soon. Tapes are $50 each and store 200gb compressed in AIT3 and 400gb in AIT4. Full, it will hold 144tb compressed. (which is what we do)
They also are good for long term storage, which, by law, we need to hold all exams for 7 years. Some of our old DAT tapes go back longer than that.

We just got demoed a 9.2 megapixel display. 3840x2400 on a 22in screen.

I believe the price quoted was $20k.
Yes you are. I think most slashdot readers don't see any advertisements.

The red chase plane was an Extra.. used for unlimited aerobatics. The funny looking one was a Long EZ, an old Rutan design from around 25 years ago.

Anyone want to try it?

And if you ever hurt his daughter's feelings, Marathon Man for you!
Absolutely correct. I remember the ads in the papers as being the small ones. It wasn't until after it had been out for a while it got big.
So are all IT jobs being outsourced to Indiana?
Did it improve that much? I watched the first few episodes and was driven away. Maybe I should give it a second chance.
I think at 30 inches long, they already are ROUS'es.
How many Folding@Home work units does it do per day?
Agreed. Exactly the same. We bought a few of these to give away as prizes at our LAN gaming group.
Also got one for my wife's computer since she likes to surf in the dark.

Yep.. looks like Windows Update is Slashdotted.
