Holy shit batman! This engine was rated 500 PS (368 kW; 493 bhp), and 1,000 N m (738 ft lb) of torque. It accelerates from 0-100 kilometres per hour (62 mph) in 4.2 seconds, and its top speed is 325 km/h (202 mph).
Depends on the engine they used for this project. I drive a full size quad cab GMC diesel truck. From a dead stop, it will blow the doors off any gas burner, any size, any day. Diesel engines produce incredible torque, which gives them the power advantage over gasoline engines.
I'm just waiting now for the slashdot effect to subside on this site so I read up on how they did the conversion. This is a project I have been pondering for sometime myself.
Disassemble a pile of drives. Salvage the rare earth magnets. Remove the platters. Buff the shit out of the platters with a hand grinder fitted with a cup wire brush. Drill a hole into each platter near the edge. Hang a dozen platters from a finished tree branch using heavy fishing line. Sell the thing at my local farmers market as a bird scare for gardeners. Profit!
C is not just a Linux language. The win32 api is all C with some OOP and many system specific calls mixed in to make the thing work. Win32 still exists today in most M$ products, if not all.
Everyone knows who Mike-Row-Soft is. That windoz stuff is pretty darn buggy Does this mean I can now sue them for all that crap software I have bought over the years? How about time invested in a project, attempting a save.. BSOD.. a total loss, including all that work?
"That's why, thanks to recent laws, only criminals carry guns. Here in Alaska all citizens have the right to carry concealed weapons without any permits whatsoever.

Of course another alternative we all have is buy the CD. Rip the tunes to disk. Copy the tunes to personal player, and enjoy the music until the end of time.
"OpenOffice and these label templates WorldLabel_dot_com [worldlabel.com]" Good link, Thanks much! I've used OOo Calc for this task but hacked my own templates. Nice to see a good variety of templates for this task have been made available. At any rate, OOo Calc makes this a no brainer.
I buy labels on 8.5 x 11 sheets. The label sizes don't matter. You can use any label you want.
Set up a OOo Calc spreadsheet. The first column is your left border. Next is your left label. next is the right label. Next is right border.
Top row is top border. Then set the next 10 or so rows as label heights. Getting a clear picture how this is done?
Set your column and row to show border lines and print one to see how close you can get to a factory label sheet.
A little experimentations you will soon have a label printing sheet you can use forever and will work 1st time every time.
Once you've dialed the thing in, set borders to not shown.
You can now print to any cell you wish. Cell can be formated with any text, centered, word wrapped, anything you want.
"It seems likely. There are several promising methods, the debate is what method to use. For example, check out seabed burial [theatlantic.com] of glassified nuclear waste. "
Great! Not only did we have Bechtel dump barrels of nuclear waste off the California coast several decades back but some other crackpot now wants to improve on the same stupid idea of sticking that stuff in the oceans?
There are absolutely NO real viable options to safely store nuclear waste on planet earth, it cannot be done with 100% certainty, period! Those that desire to profit from the proliferation of nuclear energy should be required to tend the waste in their own backyards until it becomes benign, at their own expense.
I'm sorry but I really don't believe any of the nuclear proponents understand just what spent and/or any nuclear fuel does when it becomes introduced into the environment, food chain, and essentially the chain of life. Suffice it to say that one really good accident, one really good spill, can potentially wipe all life on planet earth. Is this really something you lust after? If all you're after is a really good thrill, play russian roulette. The rest of us will remain safe while you live on the edge.
Wow! Your first link makes the "Breeder Reactor" sound just so wonderful.
Unfortunately you omitted to mention that it still produces a waste that is beyond lethal for 25,000 years.
If you care to bring the facts to bear about nuclear energy, mainly what do we now do with the waste as well as the spent facility when all's said and done with... for the next 25,000 years! The only answer anyone can give, a stupid blank look and shrug, will only indicate complete incompetence and a lack of thinking this one through, so don't bother.
Worse, now the companies that own and operate theses plants are going belly up and walking away from the retired facilities and leaving them for the states, counties and towns to deal with.
Sounds criminal to me. Sure the power was cheep. But the leftovers pose too many new problems that will have to be dealt with for thousands of generations to come. I've never been a fan of nuclear technology. Now my reservations are verified by the incompetence of the corporations, lobbyists, and politicians involved in producing this resulting product.
I remain unconvinced that nuclear technology is worth the trouble, expense, and/or effort. I have a much better idea, lets invest some effort in harnessing the power of the sun and call it a day. Instead of this exercise in stupidity.
I agree. I've just bought land in Fairbanks. After both polar ice caps and the Greenland ice have melted, I plan to have just that, beach front property. Except piss on all those rich bastards on the California coast. They can drown like rats.
As the saying goes, "If you sit by the river long enough, you will see the body of your enemy float by" Now I'm just sitting and waiting for the tide to come in.
"The Vikings, prior to the ~1250 onset of global cooling, routinely used a northern route to reach Siberia" You're absolutely right there, they dragged their ships across the sea ice. No big thing.
"People who want floating ice and strange units could just move to Alaska" What the fuck are you talking about? We use real money here. Why I just made a kayak load of moose nuggets selling walrus tusks and baby seal furs on Ebay
"limiting an OSS project to a time-based release cycle puts an artificial constraint on the development process.Agreed Debian is noted as producing extremely stable packages on a stable distribution. They're outdated by Ubuntu or Fedora standards, but they also don't crash the system frequently with buggy applications.
For Debian to put their distro on a fixed release schedule could limit the effectiveness of their product. I think they should just stick with what has worked for them so far. Maybe just produce a new upgrade release on an annual basis and just stay away from the Ubuntu release model. Once per year should allow enough time to stabilize a cool feature such as KDE 4.2 or the latest kernel technonogies, among other advanced features.
"The Greenland was once actually green." Really? In your life time? You must be really, really old! As far as my history books go, Greenland has been a frozen semi-continent, well, except for now that the ice pack on it is also melting due to rising arctic temperatures,.. Global Warming.
Okay, I'll be fair about your statement. Once upon a time there were dinosaurs roaming the lands, and probably around that time when Iceland was located near the equator, it was green and lush. Sure, your point has a small bit of value. But completely irrelevant in the context of this thread.

Agreed
You write an app. To protect your work from being stolen/copied into some proprietary app later, GPL3.
Done. What's so hard about that?
Firefox 3.5 + Adblock + Noscript
Probably has something to do with this?

Your post implies there is a form of collective intelligence within Microsoft
Consider now Microsoft Bob?
I rest my case
From the tone of your post, I can tell you must really be into the German Scheissen movies
