    Also, a lot of that Boiling happens underground, by pumping hot water below the water table, thus reducing the supply of water for local agricultural uses.

    I actually had a mechanic (shop owner with 20 years experience) tell me the other day that he didn't understand how a VW bug engine works, and didn't like working on them for that reason.

    I could understand if it were a turbine or rotary (maybe), but a bug engine is a 4 Cylender, 4 Stroke, mechanical distributor, Carborated, non-overhead cam engine. The only significant differences between it and any others is that it's a flat-4 configuration and air cooled.

    Real thieves don't hotwire anyhow.

    How is someone with a towtruck any more a thief than someone who walks by and sees the keys in the ignition?

    I guess these guys were never married. Simply having an attentive wife teaches you that FED defeating trick. The location dropdown bar and autocomplete can be a lot of trouble.

    Why not just set up seperate user accounts (and turn on file vault if on a Mac). My SO can't see ANY of my files, and I can't see hers. We don't have anything to hide from eachother, I'm just a BOFH who tries to use best practices at home as well as at work.

    It's also handy in that if she finds some Mac malware online that snags all your home directory data, it won't get the important work passwords in my browser settings.

  11. Re:What's so special ... on Terabyte DVD Recorder Available Next Month · · Score: 1

    4 SATA on the motherboard, 8 SATA channels per PCI card, 4 PCI cards == 36 HDD, each on it's own channel. Power connectors, PCI bus speed, and money are the bottleneck here, not SATA channels.

    On the topic of the blurb, I thought they were introducing a 1TB HDD, which made me excited as it would drive down the price of large HDDs (I'm starting a photography business). As it's a TiVo like device that uses two HDDs, they're taking more HDDs out of the market, which will drive up storage prices.

    /. editors should really try to determine if the blurb actually sumarizes what's in the article, not just makes something up before posting it.

    Because it needs enough power to run the fuel pump, injectors, ecu, ignition coil, ignition system, oil pump, and turn the engine fast. Plus batteries & alternators are plenty reliable enough in most conditions, and less likely to break your arm on a backfire.

    Furthermore, Market Cap != Liquid Assets. Market Capitalization is the sum of the current value of all outstanding shares, not what they sold the shares to the brokers for.

    Imagine a small company that sells 50000 shares to the IPO brokers at $10. Due to buzz, rumours, or manipulation, the shares go up to $1000 per share. The company's market capitalization is now 50 million, but the company only has 1/2 million in the bank.
