  1. Re:Is a... on N.Y. Governor Pushing for Alternate Fuels · · Score: 1

    Biodiesel can be burned in any diesel engine, the main drawback with it is that it gels at slightly warmer temperatures than petroleum diesel. Ethanol in percentages up to 10% can be burned in any gasoline engine, but it requires modifications to the engine design to be able to burn up to 85% ethanol. IIRC, Ford Tauruses and Rangers from about 1999+ and more recent Chevy trucks with the 5.3L engine can burn E85.

    It's also offered in Iowa (where I live) and South Dakota (where I work), but if you'd RTFA, it says Minnesota is the only state that has >100 stations.

  9. Re:VIA Who? on VIA K8T900 Chipset Launched For AMD Platform · · Score: 1

    I had a system based on the AMD 761 chipset, back when they still made chipsets for their processors. That system was (and still is after three years) rock solid. Via = teh suck.

  10. In other news... on Bill Gates Donates $258 Million to Fight Malaria · · Score: 1

    Shares in Schweppes skyrocketed today after half a billion bottles of tonic water flew off the shelves.

  11. Tecmo Super Bowl? on 20 Years of NES · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I find it hard to believe that Tecmo Super Bowl didn't make their top 15 list of games. Despite being the most unrealistic sports game I've ever played, it also manages to be the most pure fun.

  12. Engineers on The Rovers That Just Won't Quit · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Good to see NASA engineers get something right for a change.

    Creative's new X-Fi cards have been sitting on Best Buy's shelves for over a month now, yet they still can't find their way into $5000 computers?

    If slashdot can make money off posting dupes, why can't dupes make money off posting on slashdot? ;}

    I think the whole music industry needs a shaking up, and a Apple + Apple thing could be the key.

    They could call it the Apple ][ !

  19. Re:Security is a process! on IE More Secure Than Mozilla? · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Regarding your sig, did you know Google does the same thing? Try searching 23 canadian dollars to indian rupees, and it'll come back with a number. Don't forget 'to' as it seems that's what clues Google in that you want a conversion.

  20. Yeah, but on XBox 360 Launching Nov 22 · · Score: 1

    Does it run Linux? Seriously. Will PPC linux run on the 360?

  21. Cheap headphones on Is the iPod Generation Going Deaf? · · Score: 1

    Cheap headphones and earbuds are the worst... What's needed are either in-ear designs like Shure offers (think earplugs with speakers in them), or big ol' studio headphones that cover your whole ear. These allow you to actually hear your music without turning it all the way up.

  22. Monopoly on Dvorak on Microsoft Confusing the Market · · Score: 1

    At the Vista release, Parker Brothers should release a Monopoly Vista Edition board game, and Microsoft a Vista Monopoly Edition OS. It'd be so fitting.

    Since when has local goverment had authority over whether HP keeps jobs there? The only 'unacceptable' thing is the stink that's being raised.

  25. Re:What I'm curious about on Firefox 1.1 Boasts New Features · · Score: 1

    Plugins are counted as part of the memory usage for Firefox, not just the browser itself. So if you're running a Java applet in one tab, browsing a pdf in another, and playing Flash games in a third tab, your memory usage is going to be through the roof, even if Firefox isn't responsible for the bloat.
