The Russians have let their game slide and now they are in a desperate economic state.
Disregarding the world's current overall economy, what is your justification for this statement? They have no national debt, and that's more than many states on the globe can say.
On that same note, California Emissions cars are only more efficient in the sense that they produce fewer byproducts because they consume less fuel. This also has the unfortunate side effect of less power and less torque across the board.
As such, when my stepfather ordered his 04 Mach 1, He looked through the system, found a yellow one, then found one without Cali emissions. We've been happy since.
No... I don't think they were really blaming Linux. If anything, I'd say they were praising it for having the functionality to be modified to fit their needs. They admitted that the previous configuration they had wasn't ideal, and they fixed it. I think the important part here is that they used Linux to fix it, they continue to use Linux, they documented the fix, and now they are giving back to the OSS community with information on how they did it.
It is supposed to have a knob. I can see where it is and would fix it myself if I had the tools that I have at home. I've submitted a request to have it fixed, but nothing has been done as of yet unfortunately.
I'm in a dorm at Virginia Tech. Pritchard actually. Last year for being all male. There's a power plant right at the edge of campus that pumps hot water for use all over campus. This includes heating food, and unfortunately, dorms. Although very efficient and I'm sure it worked very well in the 70s, my room is just plain fucking hot. Between my gaming PC, my lappy, and my roomie's lappy, it just gets warmmmmmmmm. There's also a small fridge and TV, but the fridge seems to barely ever be on and the TV is just about never on. It is now about 20 degrees outside and a window is wide open. Feels good now.
I agree. I also wish it were easier for me to obtain liquor.:)
More on topic, yes. It is far easier for me to obtain even ridiculous amounts of illicit drugs (1/4lb weed) on short notice than it is for me to find something to drink. There's something wrong here...
I think Christmas has become commercialized as much as the next guy, but I still find good meaning behind it. Maybe you could try enjoying time spent with other people. This has nothing to do with gifts and I know it certainly makes me happy to see my whole family gathered in one place, especially now that I'm off in college. Just a thought anyway.
One often forgotten thing for fuel consumption is tire pressure, and width aswell. The rolling drag is way higher with wider tires, and with lower pressures.
This is very true. I drive a Mustang (2dr hatchback sportscar) and my goals with the car lie somewhere between performance oriented and fuel efficiency. As such, my tires are up to twice as wide (and therefore flatter with a larger contact patch) as those on your average vehicle. Did it affect my fuel economy? Not particularly. I drive the car nicely on the street 95% of the time anyway and I didn't see a drop at all.
I suppose I just wanted to point out that the flatter tires are sometimes a choice that we knowingly make, for better or worse. Some people aren't informed enough to know the difference, but I'm well aware of my choice. I do, however, maintain my car very well and keep the tires inflated correctly. Possibly that is the cause for my consistent fuel economy.
It sounds to me like you need to get a job that has you driving home in the other direction, so as to avoid the rear view mirror issue.
This is much easier than changing time, I promise.:)
* Silverlight supports 32-bit and 62-bit browsers.
Interesting. Might I inquire as to where you purchase your 62 bit processors? Mine has 64 bit capability and would probably freak out without the extra two. =]

When fuel reaches 1% of my annual budget, I'll give it a line item.
I just graduated from high school yesterday. I don't exactly make bank, but it's not minimum wage by a longshot. However, just in fuel to get to school, work, and home, i was spending up to 40% of my income. Even if I were just going to work, it would be nearly 30% of my income.
I think the price of fuel hits harder for those in the lower classes, but I'm not an expert so take it with a grain of salt.
I can understand your view about a large shop, and I agree wholeheartedly. I still however believe that there should be one person whose job it is to break things. Someone should be assigned the task of doing what is thought to be impossible and pushing things to the limit.
Regarding the app having a trojan - that's highly unlikely in this case. You're just changing the PCI_ID of a card through software that has been trusted for years and years, then using a driver that has been trusted for years and years. I've actually done this before, back when I was in 9th grade or so. I was just messing around with it, making my card act as a Quadro instead of a GeForce. =]
Seconded. I'm a proponent of the format for most uses. JPEG has its place, but PNG is great for vector-based images. SVG also has its place, but it feels slow to me. I love that PNG has support for 8 bit transparency.
I know you've already disregarded your own post, but I have a little insight to offer anyway.
I work at a fabrication machine shop. I am 17 years of age and I work all the time with multi-million dollar contracts. Many a time, a small change in machine programming by me has saved hundreds of thousands in material costs.
I am also their IT guy.
Myself and one other person do all of the CAD work. I find that oftentimes, our hardware feels underpowered. I've wondered why that is. As such, my employer ENCOURAGES me to dig deep and see what I can do to help. I'm asked to try out new ideas and see if they work well. That applies to every portion of my job, including out in the shop.
It has been amazing working in an environment where testing is allowed and encouraged. It creates a friendlier workplace where you can have fun and really think outside the box. To put it quite plainly, I feel horrible for anyone who works somewhere that they don't get to try out new ideas.
I am not an expert, but I like to think of myself as an intelligent car enthusiast and mechanic. Your problem with Chrysler's drivetrain is not uncommon, and is a known issue. Chrysler's transmissions have an ongoing record of being shotty, at best. However, it would be wrong to project that problem to American car manufacturers as a whole. They are all different.

If I'm reading what you're saying correctly, we're both right. consume less fuel = retuned for less-efficient combustion = fewer byproducts. =]

Nah, mine's an 86 Mustang.

Engine from USA, interior stamped as made in Canada, and a lot of my metric bolts came from Mexico.

In Soviet Russia, memes use you.
I, for one, welcome our new meme overlords.

Kids do copy what they see, but a 6 year old kid shouldn't be playing GTA 3.
You're absolutely right, GTA 4 is out.
Wasn't there a Futurama episode about this?

The sleep pill and 151 combo is a bad idea. Might I recommend sticking to the oxys, relaxants, and unprotected sex.
Whoosh.

Quite obviously, driving the other way would put the sun in your face instead.

I wish I could mod you to +6 for that. Unfortunately, they really are THAT stupid.
