The parent was talking about a turbocharger which only revs up when exhaust gases are increased (during acceleration) where as a supercharger is always on and usually run by the crankshaft (I think?) this makes turbocharger more efficient than a supercharger. I know plenty of cars with turbochargers (the whole saab line and the subaru wrx's off the top of my head) and only a select few "muscle specific" cars with superchargers.
Having a 95 Saab 9000 turbo myself I usually get 30mpg with gentle driving and have plenty of torque and horsepower when I need it, if I loose a couple mpg's (30 is good enough for me) then be it.
What's to stop someone from buying the com domain and using the subdomains to imitate the real domains for example someone buys org and sets up the subdomain slashdot.org
I don't see how you would differentiate between slashdot.org and slashdot.org, one using a subdomain of an extensionless org TLD.

"InfiniBand breaks through the bandwidth and fanout limitations of the PCI bus by migrating from the traditional shared bus architecture into a switched fabric architecture."
"Each connection between nodes, switches, and routers is a point-to-point, serial connection. This basic difference brings about a number of benefits:
Because it is a serial connection, it only requires four as opposed to the wide parallel connection of the PCI bus.
The point-to-point nature of the connection provides the full capacity of the connection to the two endpoints because the link is dedicated to the two endpoints. This eliminates the contention for the bus as well as the resulting delays that emerge under heavy loading conditions in the shared bus architecture.
The InfiniBand channel is designed for connections between hosts and I/O devices within a Data Center. Due to the well defined, relatively short length of the connections, much higher bandwidth can be achieved than in cases where much longer lengths may be needed."
"The InfiniBand specification defines the raw bandwidth of the base 1x connection at 2.5Gb per second. It then specifies two additional bandwidths, referred to as 4x and 12x, as multipliers of the base link rate. At the time that I am writing this, there are already 1x and 4x adapters available in the market. So, the InfiniBand will be able to achieve must higher data transfer rates than is physically possible with the shared bus architecture without the fan-out limitations of the later."
Actually Asimo (the honda robot) can self adjust its footsteps while being controlled. Or it can be preprogrammed for a specific task, not needing any control.

I hope they don't try to use some proprietary wiring or something making it difficult to do so.

What is the difference between a turbocharger and a supercharger on a car's engine?
Could he have meant exponentially?

ACHTUNG!!!

The problem is IE is set at default to install third party plugings, which was handy before spyware and adware came along.
When I try to install extensions or anything else to firefox, I first have to add the site to my trusted sites list.
Knowing what I am installing and where it comes from means more then some signature I can't read.

It'll probably get slashdotted too, but to sources are better than one right?
He (or maybe her?!) seems to be missing the topload nes's. They work flawless for all my old nes games, but do not work at all with game genie :-(
Can they really think that giving out features and then charging for them later will really work? It's simply absurb.
So much about all that hoopla about not surviving in space because of radiation belts

I remember seeing a story (PBS NOVA) about sonar disturbing the natural sense of navigation of orca's. Does VLF operate in the same range?
Yes but will it sing "Daisy"?
