I'll take a flywheel UPS over a battery one any day. They take up less space, you don't have to have a dedicated AC unit for the room, and they actually filter the power.
(disclaimer: I work for a Caterpillar dealer, or rather will be when I get back out of school)
supercapacitor starting systems may be coming out rather soon... in trucks. Yes, a few capacitors will be carrying most of the starting duty for those big 18-liter diesels.
Still need a seperate battery for sustained loads, but not anywhere near as big, and a different type of battery would be quite doable.

hmm, I seem to remember working for 16 hours straight a few times this summer.
more than enough to emerge kde openoffice mozilla-firefox mozilla-thunderbird...

I just did the installation from inside knoppix (mainly because the gentoo livecd's won't boot on this system for some odd reason. saw someone talking about the same problem on freenode/#gentoo the other day, nobody seemed to know about it) and did most of the heavy compiling overnight, so wasn't too bad.
As for now, I'm kinda liking the scheduler in ck-sources -- almost can't tell anything's compiling

okay, so kde is going to take 10 hours to compile.
do it overnight. do it in a knoppix session. do both, like I did.

let's see what genlop has to say about this.
Wed Jan 12 21:23:22 2005 --> kde-base/kdebase-3.3.2-r1 merge time: 51 minutes and 43 seconds.
Wed Jan 12 20:27:43 2005 --> kde-base/kdelibs-3.3.2-r2 merge time: 51 minutes and 2 seconds.
Thu Jan 13 14:53:26 2005 --> app-office/openoffice-1.1.4 merge time: 5 hours, 16 minutes, and 31 seconds.
Sun Nov 21 08:50:11 2004 --> net-www/mozilla-firefox-1.0 merge time: 1 hour, 1 minute, and 22 seconds.
nowhere on the Athlon XP series is the model coded into the chip. The system figures out what it supposedly is by the clock speed at boot. The only place the actual model is found is that little black label on the top of the thing, and that's easy to cover up.
It's not that *cpuid gets the info wrong-- it's that the info isn't there to get. Probably takes a small bit of the manufacturing cost out, but has the nasty side effect of opening them up to this sort of stuff.
This would actually be nice for ricers to preserve the retail value of their vehicle. When they sell it, they can just peel the horrendous paintjob off.
I seriously doubt you can find, download and install nvidia drivers in one click.
now, how about overclocking? in windows: find registry hack. download and apply registry hack. navigate through 6 different menus. change settings. test settings. apply settings.
in linux: emerge nvclock. nvclock -f -n -m . add said command to/etc/init.d/xdm in the start section.
yeah, all the truckers use channel 19. I think it's at least partially because it's in dead center in the CB frequency band, so you get just that much more range and reception if your antenna's tuned right.
I work for the Caterpillar dealer here in Maryland (well, I will when I get out of school). We do a lot of work on government sites. Which means I'll need one of these.
Although, I kind of see it as helpful-- would probably take away a lot of the pain of getting clearance to work on a job. I remember a lot of problems with a job we had in the Pentagon over the summer because the guy who was cleared to work on it was stuck on another jobsite for a few months.

well, the xbox has sure put an end to gaming on old celeron 733 machines with old video cards.
wait...
no, the memory is analog (how warm the toaster's coils are)
if the gears in your manual transmission do not feel different from one another, your vehicle is not sufficiently old and broken.
obviously you've never been on freenode.
Nor zirc, which is my "home" (well, it's where my o:line is) -- we try to keep that crap off our network.
... battery... backup?

There's no suitable replacement available.

where's the problem exactly?

nope. the CPU model isn't hard-coded into the chip. a 2500+ running on a 200 bus will show up as a 3200+.
I said ricers, not racers.
A spoiler that extends above the roofline is a lot of dead weight...
if it's anything like nullsoft, he'll have to get sued over the name of a product before anyone buys him up.
(for the uninformed, yes, that's what happened with nullsoft and winamp.)
This would actually be nice for ricers to preserve the retail value of their vehicle. When they sell it, they can just peel the horrendous paintjob off.

hey, look, my graphics drivers are set up, in less time than it takes on windows.
and it runs enemy territory no slower on linux than it does on windows, identical hardware (dual boot setup).
I've actually heard of people having it run *faster* on linux.
so, who wants to take bets on how long before the mass suicide cults start popping up?
not sure where you're getting that, around here it's mostly:
extremely frequently on the baltimore beltway: "where's the accident" "no accident, driver, just normal traffic"
"break one nine for a radio check"
"northbound, whatcha leave behind you?"
"got a local who thinks he's a DOT up here"
once: "my neighbor's dog has a four inch clit"
yeah, all the truckers use channel 19. I think it's at least partially because it's in dead center in the CB frequency band, so you get just that much more range and reception if your antenna's tuned right.
cars connect to other cars wirelessly to get information about a traffic accident or an approaching ambulance.
this is one of the big reasons I have my CB on channel 19 all of the time. it's quite nice.
just have to deal with some of the truckers trying to be funny.
key word: contractors.

could be worse.
you could be in pennsylvania.
there are very few real on-ramps in pennsylvania. most have no merge area and a stop sign.
