You can't call BS using a very specific example that's not representative of the rest of the group at all.
Let me remind you that you said "motorcycles of any kind would be worse than an SUV. But as it was the entire group that was being generalized, a specific example nulls and voids that generalization. And the example of the EFI and Cat'd motorcycle is just indicative of a growing trend.
Listen, Harleys are always going to be anachronistic. But imported "japanese" (and european) bikes will increasingly have EFI and Cat converters. If only for the California market.
The other downside is that your motorcycle has worse emissions than a Ford Expedition. Thanks to nonexistent emissions requirements for motorcycles in the US, motorcycles of any kind are more harmful to the environment than even the biggest SUVs.
If you care about the environment, junk that motorcycle and buy a big-ass SUV (or better yet, a car).
I call BS. The 2003 SV650 has Electronic Fuel Injection and a Catalytic converter. And it gets better gas milage (45-55mpg) than the Jetta TDI. And it's one hell of a lot more fun.
The specs on this 120-volt kit are pretty impressive: A top speed of 85 mph and a ideal range of up to 100 miles. The only thing it lacks is regenerative braking, but hopefully I can come up with something.
Amazingly, the design conventions for the Porsche 914 make it the ideal electric conversion: Low weight, low drag coefficient, ample battery space, etc.
The moderators who marked this "informative" didn't actually try it. It doesn't work (even after you remove the space). Here is the link [nytimes.com] to prove it. Well dammit. Looks like NYT closed that hole... time to start looking for a new one.:(
All I can see here is people giving Saddam (or what's left of his regime) fuel for his fight. He can say, "Look, the American people don't believe what their government is doing. Stop surendering and kill kill kill!!!" This would cause more loss of life to american soldiers.
This is so weak. Any soldier who doesn't surrender now that he knows kids in Berkeley are protesting, while thousands of tons of high explosives detonate around him, and as hundreds of thousands of well armed and armored troops converge on his position... well he wasn't going to surrender anyway.
How much money does MS lose per XBox? $50.00, $100.00? How much money does MS have in liquid assets (cash on hand)? An estimated $40,000,000,000.00 (US). How many millions of Xboxes would have to be turned into crappy PCs running Linux before MS even felt the damage?
You have better luck draining the Pacific Ocean with a teaspoon.
Actually, if MS has $4e10, and they lose $1e2 per console, then 4e8 consoles would need to be sold to drain MS's coffers.
OTOH, if you removed 4e8 teaspoons from the Pacific Ocean, that'd be equivalent of 1971 m^3 of water. Or about an Olympic sized swimming pool's worth.
Our people in charge of EDA tools on Linux said that the Xilinx software will only run under WINE, but they may be getting WINE and WindU confused.
I checked when I got in to work today. You're EDA guys were right, the latest release of our tools will run only under WINE. However, the next release due out this summer do use WindU, and the command line tools are natively ported.
Sorry about the misinformation. I've been debugging linux/solaris/sol64 WindU issues in my app for so long, I'd forgotten that we hadn't released it yet.:)
As far as I know, Xilinx doesn't have a direct Linux port of their software, but say that their Windows Binaries will run under WINE. I don't know, as I haven't used Xilinx stuff in some time.
Not true, most(all?) of our command line tools run on Linux, and most of our GUI tools do as well (through WindU Win32 libraries).
Yeah, you get a Win32 look-n-feel on linux, but it's a lot easier on us developers that having a native port.
I think it's best to work for a much smaller company, one when you know all coworkers and the CEO says hello to you everyday
(Disclaimer: I work at Xilinx.) Wim used to say hi to me every morning. Then he moved to another office in another building. He moves around every year or so so he can say good morning to everyone in the company (eventually).
Right now, you should immediately switch and give away only 20% or less of your content and charge for the rest.
The problem with that is that, then, no one but subscribers would read the content. In order to get people to want to subscribe, you have to let them "taste" what it is they'll be spending their money on.
One way to do this would be micropayments, but until that's ready, the 10 second commercial pass fits the bill.
Or better yet, buy 2... after all M$ is counting on the ammount of games you have to make a profit, they are losing money on the consoles.
So if the equipment costs MS $300-$350, if you buy it for $199, they are losing $100-$150 on the XBox console. If you don't buy it they just lost $300-$350...
So, ideally, you'd want to buy it on eBay from one of those people who can't play Live anymore because of a pre-installed mod chip.
Google toolbar. Yeah, I've used the mozdev one... and it's just not as impressive. I cannot do the following with the Mozdev bar:
It's been stated before that you can use Mozilla "keywords" to do the searches in the location bar. More importantly, the searches aren't limited to google. For example, here's a selection from my 'kewords' folder: (keyword : url)
Of critical importance is the search word and highlight feature.
With the latest release of Mozilla (don't know about Phoenix, but it's probably there too), I use "TypeAhead Find" to do the same thing. The keystrokes to do your search in Mozilla would be:
Beyond what would get it passed, would you guys consider acceptable countermeasures?
Some might say that an acceptable countermeasure would be for the music industry to change its business practices; i.e. to give "us" what "we" want: networked access to individual songs from their catalog, for a reasonable fee.
This would obviate Kazaa for upwards of 95% of the people using it. Nothing else they could do would cut down on piracy as much.
you could theoretically increase your maximum transfer rate off this media by quite a bit over traditional-sized DVD/CD-ROMs, since the diameter is smaller and thus angular inertia is much lower. The disc will have a higher maximum speed and won't explode around 28,000 RPM.
Except, because the path the laser travels is so much smaller per RPM, the RPMs would have to be porportionally faster to make up for it. (The disk would have to spin faster in order for the media to maintain the same speed under the "read head".) In the end, the faster RPMs would cancel out the smaller diameter and the angular momentum would come out a wash.

...if they tried designing electric cars without abandoning all automobile design conventions.
Funny you should mention that. I'm planning on buying a kit from these guys that will convert a Porsche 914 into an electric powered one.
The specs on this 120-volt kit are pretty impressive: A top speed of 85 mph and a ideal range of up to 100 miles. The only thing it lacks is regenerative braking, but hopefully I can come up with something.

If you don't think a US$1,000 per capita budget deficit is reasonable, you too can Recall George Bush jr.
Also, keep in mind that the Federal Debt has just reached $70,000 per US family. With no sign of decreasing.

Personally, I'd rather see them maintain their delusions until they're no longer in office. After that, they can delude as they see fit.
Maybe they could, instead, run for the House of Representitives, where they could dilute as they see fit.
