it doesn't look like Israel is really making synthetic oil like you'd put in your car anyway. Instead they're extracting hydrocarbons from shale, which presumably can be refined into gasoline.
As for the joke...I didn't find it funny. I guess it's because I've personally seen what an abused engine looks like from the inside due to oil-change neglect. The first things to wear out in an engine are the piston rings. This causes blow-by and thus the burning of oil in the combustion chamber. Hence, the reason I use synthetic motor oils. Less wear = longer engine life.
Synthetic oil provides superior protection against thermal breakdown and vaporization. It also provides a small, but noticeable measurement in lubrication.
There's a reason the racing community (from F1, NASCAR to local SCCA members) uses synthetic oils. Maybe you should check brands such as Redline, Mobile, and AMSOIL (my favorite).
While synthetics are up to 3x more expensive over conventional "crude oil", performance enthusiasts look to them as an insurance policy against premature engine wear and tear. After running my 99 Mazda Miata over 60,000 miles, all four cylinders still passes compression tests with perfection. Because of less wear on the piston rings, the oil is still nice, clear, and brown after doing a 3,000 oil change.
How was this "Slashvertisement". I watched the video. I heard nothing in regards to how the PS3 is this or that, etc. It was nothing more than Linux running on a game system. I thought it was rather nifty.
Now only if he could get network connectivity to work....
Almost a full year ago, I was on a trip visiting someone in Shanghai. I found quite a bit of (WoW World of Warcraft) advertising on plastic Coke bottles. Based on other forms of advertising, I suspect the PC gaming market rules over consoles. I suspect its boost in popularity stems from the Internet Cafes so widely available.
If you are a RR subscriber in Austin, TX and have an infected machine; it will be flagged on the network. Once done, the packets get sniffed for viri, spamming, bot attacks, and excessive port scanning. At this point, the network security department files a motion to our tech support deparment to disable the user. From here, we send a DOCSIS command to upload a disable.bin file to the modem.
I think the customer gets two tries to clean their computer last I remembered. If they get disabled again on the third time for the same issues, they must speak directly with the security department to resolve the issue. Basically however, they just need to call the tech support line to get their connection re-enabled and get chewed over the phone for not taking measures to secure their wireless network and/or computers behind the cable modem. Because RR users have access to FREE antivirus software (EZ Armor from CA), the lazy bums no longer have an excuse to stay unprotected.
If you are still having a problem with these DNS attacks, I would recommend contacting the RR security deparment to resolve the issue. you can find all the information you need from the link below. Best of luck.
Fire isn't designed to warm you in the cold night or cook your food.
It's there to burn you
thus the crux of the entire problem.
You're forgetting that the military is tool at the governments disposal. It can be used to start nation building, or destory one. It's all in the manor of how that power is used.
53kbps IS the maximum when working with an analog signal; and that's only if your download is comming from a digital source before your telco turns it back into analog... DSL however is not analog, it's digital. You can transmit far more data when it start and ends in the digital relm.
All Cable providers in major US cities are hybrid-fiber-coax. Due to the bandwidth limitations on the coax segment from the fiber node to your house, the industry is going with "switched video" technology.
I know for a fact that as of a few months ago, Time Warner of Austin, TX completed the switched video migration...except for a few remote nodes. But I'm sure they've been migrated too.
Why hasn't this been integrated into Microsoft's Flight Sim yet? You don't need to install 15GB worth of data, and the maps are always updated. Better graphics too I might add.
What is preferable? It landing in a major city and killing 80% of the population or it burning up and possible spreading radioactive material of a larger area.
I agree with you. I'm just pointing out that depending on where you destroy the missile, its nuclear payload might stay very well intact. We are talking about a solid sphere/core of metal which is either plutonium or uranium.
You are correct. The choice to destroy a missile on the ground or in-flight is a no brainer vs. its destructive alternative.
With Iran, the reason is pure religious. In fact, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad feels that the fall of Israel is a religious necessity to call forth the 12th imam.
Given the current state of affairs, I would say that Israel *will* get nuked. In return, Iran will fall too in the same manor. If you're living in either country, I'd get the hell outta Dodge and fast.
If Iran wants to be blown up in their own suicidal blaze of glory, let them. Just get it over with and stop fucking with the rest of the world. Radical Islam is a cancer to all human civilization and endeavors. Communism follows a close second, but I digress.
The strange thing about radical islam, is their master/slave mentality. That is to say, they want you be your master, or your slave. That's why they really haven't attacked the US as much as their own people. Ironic as it sounds, but I've read some radical islamic factions are keeping their distance out of respect.
Why you ask? Because we are standing up for ourselves and what we believe to be the truth. When you put your life on the line for what you believe in, you implicitly hold a higher moral standing...so they think.
I would postulate that if only one nuclear bomb could be found and used, it would be against a European country and not America.
So...maybe going to war was a "good thing". Only time will tell, and history to teach us.
The only way to really down a missle is by rupturing its fueltank. The actual warhead itself would remain unharmed most likely. At the very least, the core metal (nuclear material) would fall like a rock out of the sky into someones backyard. Obviously you wouldn't want to be near the stuff, but the clean-up is very managable.
Please, come visit Beijing, and I can take you to Tibet...
I've traveled to China a few times already. While my travel visa granted me access to all the mainland (except HK), I could not travel to Tibet (or its province I think) unless I applied for a permission.
If you make an offer to someone to travel to Tibet, please be aware that is requires a different permission granted by the Chinese consulate/s located in the country you live in. If I'm not mistaken, this "permission" is just another type of visa to be applied for.
Kidding aside, your system was outdated even before you placed an order on those parts. It's one of those bitter pills to swallow when building or purchasing a computer. That is to say...you will NEVER have the fastest machine.
My friend, your first problem was that you used Paypal. Your second, EBay. Why pay the middle men with fees and little to no customer support???
When you need to sell something (or buy), always go with Graigs List. It's easy as hell, and it's safe if you trade in a public place. For example: In Austin, TX, I would tell all my customers to meet my over at Fry's Electronics in the parking lot...etc.
You accept only cash, and they get to inspect the goods for obvious issues. It's WIN WIN for everyone!
The issue is much simpler: wanting the federal government to provide more effective disaster relief does not equal wanting to give the president more power to deploy the military.
Ahh! But you know, you can't have one without the other!
I doubt any company who considers their data center a key component of thier infrastructure to risk their backup solution on an untested refurbished generator
New or used, it doesn't matter. Your SUPPOSED to testing the generator at least once a week. Besides, it's not good to have aged fuel in the tank. You end up with all sorts of fuel-line and injector clogging due to the fact fuel will take on properties of varnish.
Point is, it does't matter if it's used. If it does the job and can be verified to do so once a week, you're ok.
What kind of memory did these routers use? Were they ECC? What form factor (SODIMM, DIMM, propriatary) are they? Do these routers still function with the same degree of reliability (lockups are not allowed)?
I've had this issue (100% CPU usage) happen with IE6, but only when reading a thread on DIGG. After it's finished downloading all the HTML, only then does the CPU usage drop back to normal.
In the mean time, you might want to run CCleaner as it could be something borked in your cache folder. You can download it at http://www.ccleaner.com/

I see. So basically its a form of Coal gasification.

Other way around.
