So long as you replace your glow-plugs periodically, they start fine, you just have to wait a few seconds while the plugs heat up. The only problem is that some biodiesel fuels start to soldify around that temparature, so unless you have a heater, you might have to stick with petroleum fuel in the winter months.
I strongly agree. Current turbodiesels can get upwards of 50 mpg, with a traditional ICE arrangement. A diesel-electric with power reserves and some high-torque motors ought to get even better effeciency while still getting good performance and being fun to drive, while requiring even less maintenance than current cars. Diesel makes a great transitional fuel to renewables, as well, since you can in most cases go directly from petrolem-derived diesel to biomass-derived biodiesel with little or no engine modifications.
The benefits are obvious, the drawbacks are few, the remaining technical barriers are low. It is the only renewable-energy-based transportation that is practical, cost-competitive, and available today.
Lexis-Nexis makes a featureful time-tracking and case management system called Time Matters that is fairly popular among lawyers, but it adapts well to almost any kind of professional enterprise. It's got a quick-entry mode that makes it relatively painless to punch up a time entry.
If MTV and Microsoft, as much as I loath the both of them, can do it I'll jump. It isn't like I have any love for Apple either.But of course they cannot, and it's not their fault. Apple owns the patent on their FairPlay DRM (the only DRM the ipod can use) and will not license it to anyone else unless forced to by antitrust lawsuits. Sorry, loyal Apple consuming unit, it is Apple and Apple alone that is coring you.
it's hard for Microsoft to stop anyone with decent tools to try to reverse-engeneer their conoles.
Decent tools like an electron microscope? Because if the key is a per-unit unique key burned into the on-die ROM, that's what you would need. For each and every box.
if you really think that drm works, show me a drm that can't be just cableripped or that hasn't been cracked by software already (oh that dvd region joke never expires i guess...)
Okay, since you asked for it: HDCP: High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection. It is a protocol for encrypting the transmission in the cable between your DVD player, etc. and your television set. This capability will be included in the upcoming version of Windows. I have no doubt that disc manufacturers will require this soon enough. Maybe it will start out only requiring it for high-definition content, but eventually anyone without a trusted display path will be locked out.
I agree with you, I think the idea that we won the revolution by guerilla tactics is largely a myth. Were these tactics employed? Yes, but usually not by the regular army, and not with much success. In fact, the war was going very badly for the revolutionaries because they lacked discipline and battlefield training. Things did not start to greatly improve until the Prussian officer Friedrich Wilhelm von Steuben came to America and started training the soldiers for battlefield maneuvers - not insurgency tactics. The Battle of Yorktown was won by George Washington and a well-trained regular army, not guerillas.

Jerry, these big companies, they write off everything." o Jerry: "(pause) You don't even know what a write off/is/." * Kramer: "Do You?" o Jerry: "No, I Don't." * Kramer: "But/they/ do..and/they're/ the ones writing it off."
And it most certainly is NOT and NEVER WAS a Microsoft technology. Microsoft has nothing to do with the new widespread adoption of AJAX. This comment in the article really really bothers me. Microsoft deserves absolutely no credit for things they had nothing to do with.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Microsoft invent XMLHttpRequest? In which case, most AJAX, which uses XMLHttpRequest, is in fact built on Microsoft technology, and they deserve credit for having a played key role.
Because we have not yet initiated the Prime Directive for Earth. Interestingly, nobody ever worries about foreigners contaminating U.S. culture. Well, except for the KKK.
They should do so by offering products, maybe even whitepapers, but calling it a "standard" from the beginning is just the kind of attitude that will ultimately bring such a company down.

Maybe I missed something...but, what the hell are you talking about? RSS is already a standard, and Microsoft is publishing an "extension," as they clearly state.
They're contracting out to firms that are likely in some sort of a special relationship with Microsoft.
Actually, it's because Robert Scoble, who produces the videos and conducts the interviews, edits them with Windows Movie Maker, which unsurprisingly works best with WMV.
I bet some hackers will find the problems and have a patch out before M$ even admits a problem.
Unlikely, since (a) it is a hardware defect, and (b) MS has already admitted that some manufacturing defects occurred, and are replacing the faulty components.

I'm curious what it is that you dislike about the NTFS permissions schema. It seems pretty featureful and straightforward to me.

Well, has DVD John gotten around to breaking the WMA DRM that Yahoo, Napster, and others use? Because that's probably what Microsoft will use.

Only if you don't include the moral aims of the revolution in your overall moral calculus.
So long as they keep broadcasting three episodes of ST:TNG every day, I'll not complain.

What the fuck is wrong with you?
Gosh, you're so right. I think about that oil and gas that I was forced to license instead of being able to own, and I'm just outraged.

IIRC, Microsoft did in fact invent the async XML transport functions that underlie much of the "magic" of AJAX, way back in the late 90's.

Yes, well, you ALSO said:

No, it does not.
Translation: "How about that, I don't actually know the answer. Well, better change the subject before anybody catches on!"
A common logical fallacy. In fact, you saw it even before you went to law school, but you just didn't realize it yet.
HTH, IAAL.
