Every one talks about corn when the ethanol subject comes up. Corn has to be planted every year and uses tractor gas (or diesel or ethanol fuel). Ethanol could be made from crops that don't have to be planted every year. Grapes aren't planted every year. What hybrid crop would be developed with high yields of ethanol and just picked or mowed? It's the sugar content or starch that's important I think.
I am running Fedora Core 2 x86_64 on my Desktop HP AMD 64 3200. I have installed both X86 and x86_64 rpms. I would guess the x86_64 rpms take advantage of the 64 bit cpu? I don't know that this is fact, maybe they just are compiled with the 64 bit flag.
I don't even know if I am safe from the 2038 time limit?
It was time for an upgrade for me and the whole damn computer only cost $949.00 including the usual onboard sound, USB, firewire, and lan. It has a real modem card, a Gforce video card and DVD and cdrom and memory card readers (no monitor and no floppy drive).
I didn't think I was paying a big price penalty for the 64 bit AMD. No problems so far.
Microsoft could be embarassed if it became known that they were harvesting a list of illegal vs. legal lists of installs by surfing computers on the net (even legally) . A voluntary list would look just like a harvested list to any outside observer. I used to burn wood so my parents couldn't smell cigarette smoke on me.
I read about one scientist's fears that if the polar ice cap melts, the Gulf Stream might not take a right turn and go under Greenland as it now does, but instead go over the top of the world. Maybe the Gulf stream wouldn't continue to go at all because the Atlantic loop would be destroyed.
Benny Hill joke.
Benny Hill feels little guys bald head and says: "that feels like my wife's ass"
Little bald guy feels his own head and says: "yes, you are right, it does"
Back in about 1984 then president Reagen visited his home town of Dixon, Illinois. The Secret Service arrived a week ahead of Reagan's appearance and scoured the town looking for the fifth element. The Secret Service boys did a real job in a real world and made their list which no doubt had a few fourth elements and some only wanabees and crazys. They didn't have time or the man power to split hairs so on the day the president arrived all the ones on the list got picked up and took down town for questioning. The detainees had to wait 24 hours to get questioned and when the President was gone they were all turned loose. Rights violated? Stretched? President safe? your call!
Lucas, the British Auto-electric-generator-etc. company has prior art on that. Their wires, bulbs, generators and starters all quit working when they lost their smoke. They needed better seals to keep the smoke in.
Wouldn't it! How about the cast of the old Dallas show? Larry Hagman as Darl, Victoria Principle as PJ, etc.
Instead of oil spilling everywhere, there would be barrel after of barrel of leaking code. Great!
I would avoid batterys because of maintenance and inherent dangers with their use. Acid fogs onto surrounding areas and corrods any metal next to them, even concrete with iron in the rocks will turn ugly colors and gas is given off that can make an inclosed room a bomb if a spark is added.
Check out Recreation Vehicle users and maybe race car owners that use special trailers to have power tools and lights and heat at race track pits. They should know the best cost solutions for generators
Where did these figures come from? Did the purchasers have to fill out a guestionaire that asks: "Are you going to put a pirate Windows install on this computer? Come on, now; Anyone can make wild guesses. "Are you gona smoke a joint while the install takes place? Please be honest; You will be completely anonymous". Ha!!
The "jest' of the trial, the way I saw it, was that the browser tying was just an example of the elimination (the danger) of having applications run on Windows, Apple, Linux, Unix, whatever without a rewrite. For example, Adobe Page Maker could have been written in html to run on any OS that had a Netscape browser. Java presents the same danger unless you wreck the sameness on all OS systems with extensions that only run on Microsoft. Make a development tool that writes those extensions and push them to put the extensions into the wild using your monopoly.
Having a variety of browsers would make html standards develop independant of I.E. and of course break the need of Microsoft to run (your favorite application). Micrsoft saw this years ago and headed it off at the pass by breaking the standards from developing; They could care less about browser intergration experience for the user.
The stock is not worth anything so just keep it.
My grandmother was given a hundred shares of Standard Oil stock for a wedding present before that fateful day in 0ctober, 1929. She just kept it until she died. The stock and it's prices weathered the depression, Monopoly bust up, World War II, and everything else that happened up to the mid 1970's.
The price of the stock split several times over the years and more than outperformed inflation. Don't give up. Maybe the bubble of the 2020's will give you a chance to dump it at a profit, Ha.
Why doesn't housing automatically get designed in each person's area to take advantage of the climate or to mitigate the disadvantages where in as much the cost would be nothing additional at original construction time. Black roofs in the North and White roofs in the South for starters would work.
Small gains in energy cost, yes, but no additional original costs.
Before World War II, a lot of technologies were languishing in a not ready yet state. The war pressure pulled these technologies to the forefront not because they were wonder weapons as Germany built but because they were do-able add-ons to existing technology like radar and sonar etc. Will another miltary driven pressure (that would last longer than 90 days) ever come to pass again? Another space race?
I can only speak for myself. i bought a HP AMD64 3400+ computer at CompUSA with my hard earned $949 bucks and fired it up as soon as I could get it home. Was I disappointed, It didn't seem to be any faster than my 750mz pentium and i was swamped with popup messages urging me to buy this and that to make the menu buttons actually work or else warning me that my trial software would expire in xy days unless I bought the full version. Fdisk -all got rid
of the salesmen. I installed beta WindowsXP 64 bit and could not get virus software or drivers for my scanner, sound card, etc. I put Fedora Core2 x86_64 on the second partition. Absolutely everything worked, even my 8in1 card reader. Now my box screams, I can compile a kernel faster than I can pop and eat a bag of microwave popcorn. Nevermind the fact that the 64bit arch. gives me enough highway to run the Gimp while the kernel is compiling on desktop1.
Me wait on Microsoft? Nahhh.. I'm on 64bit now and ain't lookin' back and I have not bothered to dual boot XP just to see it slow down my 64bit box. Maybe Longhorn.....someday....showme like they say in Missouri.
I remember the "hamburger wars" in the late 60's as a
consumer. Prices of hamburgers got down to about 19 cents for some of the joints. (a place called "Quicks" for
one. Every angle was tried, and you got choices of normal sized buns and a half dollar sized burger, bigger burgers but made from the leather. Your choice of condiments ranged from lettuce to mayo or nothing unless you put it on yourself at the counter. Some tasted like nothing and others tasted just bad. McDonald's burgers were small but not too small, and did have a taste of sorts and were priced in the middle.
So I think they were a survivor in the "wars" because
they had the best compromise as to what could be passed as food to the unwashed masses.

Wow!! that's a lot less than $699.00 for a binary only single user license. SCOX's stock will go down soon.
No, take out the apostrophe in bell's and whistle's. Plural is just a "s" possessive is "'s". :)
So that's why SCOX went after Chrysler and AutoZone.......

Maybe SCOX can't find a "wookie" so they might settle for a "Hobbit".
the default install on my HP AMD64 3200+ is/was quite sluggish. The "Fedora Core2 x86_64 service pack" fixed it. *me: ducks under desktop.

I read that University dorms are having to be upgraded "spec wise" for electrical power because of people like you. You oughta be proud.

This can't be the right list; There ain't no Nascar drivers on it?

I just ordered the economy size order of Desiel Power using the sample credit card number they suggested. Do you think I will get it?
