Waving a mobile phone around isn't much of a test, wouldn't you agree? Every single electronic device available past and present would need to be waived around and a full analysis of the effects on the flight equipment would need to be completed. The task is a little more daunting than you let on to believe.
I donated my '84 Fiero with 378K miles on it. I had to replace the timing gears and cam at 210K but that was the majority of the work done (I don't want to talk about the headlight motors). I saw it driving down the road rattling like usual a few months later in a nearby town. I currently have an 87' Fiero with 295K miles and all it really needs right now is a transmission rebuild and another clutch. I also had a Nissan truck/SUV thing (Pathfinder, I think) for a few months that had 310K on it and ran great when I gave it to my brother.
It isn't abnormal for a car to run for 250-350K miles nowadays, or older days. Those Fieros were made 20 years ago and weren't exactly the height of technology. I'm looking forward to registering the 87 GT as a classic next year.
Are you suggesting that if my parents die with a million in debt I am liable to pay those debts? That is ridiculous. The debtor's estate is responsible for debts, not their children. A debt is not passed on to someone who was not part of the initial debt.
I have had serious problems with DirectI in the past. About 60 of my domains were lost in the crapfest that happened between them and Dodora Domains. Their "support" informed me that it was probably something I did wrong and that meant it was my problem, not theirs.
I find this interesting since I spent many of my childhood nights reading by moonlight. I remember opening the blinds and moving the book so that each line was illuminated. Maybe I had the help of a neighbors porch light, memories can be fuzzy. I wear glasses now since I have one myopia in my left and hyperopia in my right eye. I wonder if there is a connection.
One of the main points of ABS is to maintain control of the vehicle under heavy braking. In wet or snowy conditions ABS can actually increase the stopping distance of the car but still allow the driver to steer. I guess the moral is look both ways before crossing the street.
I meant you could plug the UPS into your power strip/switch and then the computer into the UPS. That way when you flip the switch on the power strip the UPS thinks the power is out and signals the PC to shutdown. It wouldn't have to be an expensive one, just big enough to keep the computer running while it completes shutdown. If you set the shutdown timer for more than a few seconds of no power you will still get the benefit of the UPS in those short power outages and brownouts.
I guess the determining factor to your question is how much power does the UPS use for it's monitoring and charging circuits when idle. If it is only a watt or two then I would consider it negligible compared to the amount of power you are saving by actually turning the machine off. 99% of the benefit (reduced power consumption), a UPS for quick power outages, and the added convenience of not manually shutting the machine down.
If only I wouldn't need to manually shut-down WinXP, it'd be perfect.
Maybe you could get a cheap UPS that connects by serial or USB to your computer. When you flip the power switch the UPS can signal the computer to shutdown.
Isn't that the entire point of a user interface, providing data (I don't feel it matters where it comes from) to the user? With a well defined interface it is no different than using a linked lib other than latency. I have taken part in more than a few multi-tier apps where there is a single function that actually does all the grunt work of moving data back and forth.
Using a powerful server to do most of the heavy lifting and using the client to merely render the output is a great way to produce a useful multiplatform application. I admit that HTML has a lot of shortcommings in the UI, but that isn't the fault of the data transfer mechanism.
...torque converters to see if they even CAN transmit power from the wheels to the engine, and they said no.
When you downshift an automatic transmission it clearly increases the rotational speed of the engine. Many automatic cars now downshift, when the brake is applied and the throttle position sensor is at zero, for engine braking. I'm sure the detection of when to downshift is more complicated, but it gets to the point that a TC can perform work on the crankshaft. For even more efficiency the torque converter clutch can be engaged. This makes the torque converter little more than a large flywheel.
I don't think it's so much that the parents feel they can trust the kid as they are willing to buy them what they want when they ask for it. In my opinion there needs to be more earning and less gifting when it comes to things like vehicles.
I recently picked up an ATI 9800Pro 128MB and it works fine with the ATI drivers under Xorg (AMD XP 2000+, 1G SDRAM, kernel 2.6.8.1). The single card drives two CRTs (one with a DVI to VGA adapter) for normal desktop use. I play UT2K4 for about an hour everyday at 1600x1200 on a single monitor with the detail settings right in the middle with no problems.

It may be dying but I still make nearly six figures a year contracting as a Delphi programmer. It's not dead yet.
Mid-Michigan is still in 2006? That is some serious lag.

bullion-bullion sounds like weak soup to me. Is it called tap soup?

I used to work on a team that was full of units and we didn't get a thing done.

I bet it's 3 of them.

You're going to let him get away with stealing your beer? Where do you live?

Instead of double-clicking the .wav try right-clicking and select "Enqueue in WinAmp" It should show up on the bottom of your playlist.
You had me all excited. The link is actually a microATX Socket 370, not a miniITX.
