  1. Re:Thus the phrase... on EPA Fuel Economy Myth: Too High, Too Low? · · Score: 1

    Just my two cents... I own a 2004 Prius, and my mileage varies from about 40 to 70, sometimes reaching a sustained 75 average for hour-long trips. Roughly speaking, it breaks down like this: Driving to work in the morning: 70 mpg Driving home in the afternoon: 55 mpg (AC on) Driving on the Interstate: 50 mpg Driving to enjoy myself: 40 mpg Obviously, turning the AC on and having fun with the car cuts into mileage considerably. I take very few short trips, but I've noticed that they tend to only get about 25-30 mpg. My lifetime average, by the way, is just over 50 mpg.

    No, it still wouldn't. My mail client won't show inline images by default. The only difference this would make is whether or not it is marked as spam or makes it to my Inbox.

    Unfortunately, I don't think there is a way to detect tracking URLs the with the key embedded in the path of the image. MD5 hashes may be recognizable, but with the size of an unabridged dictionary, spammers could simply assign words to each and every mail sent. Run out of words? Use two!

    Worth pointing out that my SpamAssassin settings give considerable weight to image trackers. I doubt I'm alone in bumping that test up.

    If anyone hear tries to send me a DidTheyReadIt e-mail, be forewarned that not only will my mail client not display inline images, but it'll probably fall in the bit bucket as spam.

    This really makes me wonder if that's why Prince changed his name back. It just got too hard to type (especially with only one hand!)
