No new tubes are needed. The incoming signal uses the oil pipelines already in place. By using multiplexing software, they can bring the signal in between outgoing packets of oil. The software has an AJAX front end, so the signal is very clean when it comes out.
It should be noted that most modern trains and mine vehicles are hybreds.
I can't speak for mine vehicles, but for locomotives this is balderdash. Only a small number of locomotives are hybrids, you can google for "green goat" to read about those. I've run one, it's weird compared to a diesel-electric, but quiet. Doesn't have much oomph, needed a conventional diesel electic to help pull.
Most "modern" locomotives (the ones that are still in daily use date from the 50's on up) are diesel electric. When they use the electric traction motors for braking, the resulting electricity is burned off in a grid, and this is called dynamic braking, as opposed to using the brake shoes around the wheels for braking.
Tha batteries used in most locomotives serve the same purpose as a battery in a conventional car or truck (starting, powering accessories and lights, etc.)
If you spent 3 years researching hybrids, why can't you spell them?
Maynard Fimble was told that "you can't compare apples and oranges," but, he thought, they are both eatable, grow on trees, are about the same size, are good for you, have a peel, come in many varieties, and are approximately round in shape, thus, to his horror and guilt, he realized that he was comparing them and wondered what punishment awaited him and on whose order.
If you can find an old NATO pack they have pockets that are well shaped for accesories, and a small or medium ALICE pack would work nicely as well.
I prefer liners without a flap, makes it easier to pull remove the laptop directly form the bag and without having to hold on to several layers.
Just saw a Specialized bag at a local store, nice messenger bag with a laptop sling, and cheap at about $60. Thought about it, but...
...the problem with it and all the other recommended bags is they look new.
The best disguise is a nondescript wrapper, ala the cameras in the crumpled paper bag in Blowup.
If you need to have a nice bag for business, choose one of the more minimalistic recommended bags and keep it inside the ratty surplus pack for those occasions.
I have somewhere in my archives an article about a woman having to pay her Volvo dealer close to $100 per download for software downloads as part of the procedure to replace the electronic keys on her car after she misplaced the keys.
Not only didn't the ~$500 set of keys and resetting of the computer in her car not work very well, but her old keys, which were supposed to be invalidated by the downloaded codes, worked perfectly when she found them.
If more repairs are done electronically, and the software used is proprietary, it would seem to me that the dealers and manufacturers will be able to shut out the home mechanic, and force exhorbitant charges as described above.
If a standard is adopted, it would greatly empower the owner to have it be open source, right?
Will there be a day when the car comes with the equivalent of Windows on it, but there will be a way to install the equivalent of Linux on it, and then hack the prefs so the window buttons turn up the stereo volume?
Or, more seriously, perhaps one could set the FI and ignition parameters on the fly, the way older cars had spark advance and choke levers?
I know people offer chips for this, but it would be great if one could tune and set things with a laptop and a Firewire connection, or perhaps, ethernet (you would have to log in and sudo).
Lotsa stuff isn't out on CD and never will be.
Original Thelonious Monk releases, and Jet Black Berries records, as examples. Without a turntable, I can't listen to them. The list of recordings that got deleted from our culture when they changed formats is long and saddening.
I'm typing this on a 333 Lombard I bought right after they came out in 99. The original battery still does over two hours. A Sony CDRW from ebay works perfectly with 10.2.6 and fits the expansion slot.
Yes it's slow, but when I go to the Apple Store and try opening apps on the new ones it doesn't seem blindingly faster, which I expect if I'm going to pay to upgrade.
And everyone should have known to wait for Panther. They only announced it last summer.
Another reason to wait: The upgrade CD's always suck: the Jag ones wouldn't do an Archive and Install, for reasons beyond my comprehension.
I worked AppleCare support, Apple made a lot of enemies over pinshit like that and like October 8, but the veteran buyers are like Russians at the GUM, they buy when it's right time.
If you use Moz on both OS's, you should be able to use the Profiles on both via a symlink.
I've found that many newbies like Moz, the integration makes it easy to send pages and open received links in New Tabs.
Having the same Browser/Email interface on both could help with migration therapy.

Was there a file in it?
I got the s's a lot, until I joined all the frequent-flyer programs.
Netscape is hiring Navigators...and they used to give them away.

That's pretty obvious when you RTA.
Today Jef Raskin invented yet another important user interface, allowing human beings to communicate with the afterworld for the first time ever.
The Maltese Falcon Winter Kills Probably a few others, but basically I'd agree with you.
In addition to supporting Mp3, the new players will go up to "11".

I acutally sometimes avail myself of hydraulic downloads, but I get those from another site.

He orders cable internet access.
The installer comes in, runs the cables, sets up the modem, then says, "Where's your tower?"
