Its kinda a shame. The article is interesting, but I find it hard to read when it is so broken up by pointless images and goofy ads. Whatever happened to the good ole printer-friendly articles?
The point of nitrous is to get more fuel in. Lower intake temps = more air/fuel mixture in = more fuel burnt = more power. The combustion temperature has some effect on efficiency, but the real key to nitrous power is burning more gas.

I have been seeing a lot of people tearing down I, Robot. While the title of the movie had nothing to do with the Asimov short story, it did raise some interesting implications to the Zeroth Law from Robots and Empire. In fact, all of the "through inaction" clauses make assumptions about human behavior and human desires. The movie implied that these assumptions are fundamentally flawed. Well, you can see the implications once you look past the title, the special effects, Wil Smith, the explosions, the gratuitous car chase, etc.
If it were true that the email client you used in college would become the ONLY one you would EVER use, I would still be using elm.
Seriously, no email forwarding? What moron came up with that "feature"?
While the government does provide some funding for public broadcasting, the lionshare of their money comes from listeners/viewers. Hence all the pledge drives. Its public broadcasting, not government broadcasting.
What kind of self-respecting upper management critter would be caught driving an overbuilt mustang? Okay, granted they may not have self-respect. But still, a Saleen.
Once upon a midnight dreary, fingers cramped and vision bleary,
System manuals piled high and wasted paper on the floor,
Longing for the warmth of bedsheets,
Still I sat there, doing spreadsheets:
Having reached the bottom line, I took a floppy from the drawer.
Typing with a steady hand, I then invoked the SAVE command
But got instead a reprimand:
It read "Abort, Retry, Ignore".
Was this some occult illusion? Some maniacal intrusion?
These were choices Solomon himself had never faced before.
Carefully, I weighed my options.
These three seemed to be the top ones.
Clearly, I must now adopt one -
Choose : "Abort, Retry, Ignore".
With my fingers pale and trembling,
Slowly toward the keyboard bending,
Longing for a happy ending, hoping all would be restored,
Praying for some guarantee
Finally I pressed a key -- But on the screen what did I see?
Again: "Abort, Retry, Ignore".
I tried to catch the chips off-guard --
I pressed again, but twice as hard.
Luck was just not in the cards, I saw what I had seen before.
Now I typed in desperation,
Trying random combinations.
Still there came the incantation -
Choose: "Abort, Retry, Ignore".
There I sat, distraught, exhausted, by my own machine accosted;
Getting up, I turned away and paced across the office floor.
And then I saw an awful sight,
A bold and blinding flash of light,
A lightning bolt that cut the night and shook me to my very core.
The PC screen collapsed and died,
"Oh no - my database", I cried.
I thought I heard a voice reply, "You'll see your data --
Nevermore!"
To this day I do not know the place to which our data goes
Perhaps it goes to Heaven where the angels have it stored.
But as for productivity - well,
I fear that it goes straight to Hell.
And that's the tale I have to tell -
Your choice: Abort, Retry, Ignore.
He was botting* on a Saturday night? During peak load? When the queues are the longest? The heck with banned. HE SHOULD BE SHOT.
*Yes, botting. "Playing" the game while not listening to or looking at the computer is botting. Just beause his program/macro was simpler in abilty and scope does not make it any less a bot.
In order to assert that Microsoft has made a lot of green off of consistancy over efficiency, Microsoft's programs would have to be a lot more consistant. I hate hate hate that ctrl-tab does NOTHING in Word. UI options are hidden all over the damned place and only some of the settings are stored in the user directory (making portability a nightmare).
If they plan on doing it right, it will be cached in some "unused" portion of ram. In practice, I expect it to thrash the harddrive at random time and generally slow things down.

I sense much fear in this one. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.
Google confirms, BSD is dieing.

Speaking of astroturf.
Kinda brings a new meaning to that "invisible hand" of the market, eh?
me too!
meh. i just don't care.
If you change your mind, does your computer become and expensive brick?
You don't understand. It isn't their mail, its HIS mail. If HE likes it, HE will pass it on.

Well, for a sufficiently broad definition of 'social'... and a sufficiently narrow one for 'misfit'

I dunno. Tell me what it is, and I can run it through my obfuscator.
It tastes like sunshine on the brain.
I cannot believe the demo did not include a LCARS set-up. I want my money back!

But then how do you press the buttons.... wait.... Nevermind.
