My maths may be off, but that means your car gets 25 mpg. When that answer appeared on my calculator, I literally laughed out loud. In the UK we'd refer to that as rubbish efficiency (trends for ludicrous urban SUV usage notwithstanding). 15 years ago I had an ancient piece of crap Morris Minor [wikipedia.org] that did 35+ mpg, ffs.
A UK Gallon & a US Gallon are different.
A UK Gallon is 1.2 * US Gallon.
You are getting 35 MPG(UK) is the same as 29 MPG(US).
This way you are actually helping them by creating a gold rush which will clear their stock inventory in the next 90 days and they can even write it off as a loss as well. A penalty is supposed to hurt the penalised, not the improve its financial and inventory positions.
Huh! If this is going to be good for them, then why don't they do it themselves? Is anybody going to stop them?
A guy at work installed it on a trials machine, and that machine suffered weird problems. It could release, obtain, and renew a DHCP address, but couldn't ping anything, not even the gateway (which is also the switch that does the DHCP stuff). He rolled the system back, and it all works.
There is a lot of different stuff on that machine though, so it **might** not be just due to that. I wonder if it hooks into the IP stack at some level, and that's what messed it up? Anyone else have any similar issues with it?
Parent post is a probably a textbook definition of FUD.

Just because Apache is secure doesn't mean that the Mac is also secure.
It's a truth that more people will try & hack something more widely
used.
Note the "we'll".
None of us reading slashdot today will be alive when x/8/6 happens again.
One chap in my neighbourhood purchased a Mac - his family had always used a
PC before. This shows that Mac Sales are going to explode.
Nothing to see, move along.
I think it's well documented that Diabetes (type 2 - NIDDM) is appearing

Having a woman's touch on a software would be really great.
Having a woman touch a software programmer would be greater.
Wouldn't Google Accounts and Gmail have a lower HandiRank because the sign-up page requires responding to a visual CAPTCHA?
Do what we say, not what we do.

Still the Morris minor seems more efficient
I'm right in the epicenter of the whole radio revolution in India. My town just got FM radio that broadcasts the latest music for 'FREE!!'.

Is Firefox taking the Amway route now?
I officially throw open this whole topic to be used for
bitching about Roland Piquepaille.
I'm confused. Is this supposed to be "news for nerds" or "stuff that matters"? Doesn't really seem to fit into either.
It's "news about stuff", 2 outta 4 ain't bad.

Remember, folks, racism is A-OK if it's trying to prevent terrorism or 419 scams.
And don't forget about protecting the kids.

Almost died laughing. That was the first time I read that

Check Search results for the word "KinderStart" in

On both MSN & Yahoo, it's the first hit. One Google it's nowhere on Page1.
Pure Evil.
Then again, GNU/Linux is expected to take over the world in 10 years, so who knows :)
That's what I heard 10 years ago. I think next Friday is the D-Day.

Of course, most people doing PC-to-PC and PC-to-phone calling are probably using Firefox
Why?
too bad the Launch Page isn't Mozilla friendly.
It works for me.
I submitted this story but got rejected.

CORBA was an open standard.
COM was a propreitary standard.
But still COM succeeded much more than CORBA.
Dox Box's book "Essential COM" has a foreword by Charlie Kindel (one of Microsoft's
COM/ATL developers) which discusses this.
I'd trust Satan before I trust a record label.
I think it's rather harsh to call Steve Jobs Satan

You still have to pay Microsoft to write programs for windows unless it's a batch file.

You can stop talking rubbish now.
1. Iran is full of religious zelots.
So is the USA.
2. Mamood Ahmadi-Najad (president of Iran) denies the holocust happend and threatend Israel to be "wiped off the map"
They just threatened. The USA actually attacked Iraq.
