    Remember all those silly computer labs back in high schools in the '80s? Did anyone get any real educational value out of them?

    I learned how to do construction because of my Apple IIe and Hard Hat Harry!

    Check out http://www.greasecar.com/ for details.

    From their FAQ's:
    Q How does the Greasecar system work?

    A The Greasecar system is a two tank fuel system. The vehicles existing diesel tank and filter will supply diesel fuel to the engine at start up and shut down. After start up radiator fluid will transfer heat from the engine to the heat exchangers in the Greasecar fuel system. These heat exchangers will heat the vegetable oil in the fuel filter, lines and fuel tank. The heat will reduce the viscosity of vegetable oil so that it is similar to diesel and can be injected into the engine properly. When the vehicle is being shut down for a period long enough for the fuel to cool the vegetable oil must be purged from the fuel system and replaced with diesel for the next start up.

    Somehow I don't think that the genius son can dance like Chicken Little...

  8. Re:"SBC is changing it's name" on Ma Bell is Back · · Score: 1

    Doesn't "it's" also infer posession? SBC is changing it's name - The name belongs to SBC, so it would be it's name. No?

  9. Re:Reading is Fundamental on iPods Used for Medical Images · · Score: 1

    Good thing it's in Geneva, as that means it will never be used in the USA. Thanks for the clarification... *sigh*

  10. Re:Not what it seems on iPods Used for Medical Images · · Score: 1

    Because it's a little easier to carry around your external drive than your C:\

    I thought it was the Health Information Portability & Accountability Act... Shows you what I know... LOL

    There are plenty of PDA medical applications handling non-imaging data, and these problems already exist.

    Good point, I hadn't thought about that.

  13. Medical information security on iPods Used for Medical Images · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Wouldn't they have to be 'secured' to compy with HIPAA regulations in any way? iPods are easily pocketed, and I would think an iPod with Medical Imaging files on it would be at risk...

  14. Re:A letter from the hydrogen-powered future on Canon's Fuel Cell May Drive Portable Gear · · Score: 1, Informative

    Most chargers I use get warm to some degree, so that must mean that some energy is doing nothing but heating the charger.

    I'm not sure if they kick up so much dust - I thought the moved slower than a walk. Dust spray ought to be minimal at best... -- "I uh... could be wrong, you know!" - Bugs Bunny

  16. Re:abuse of power on Blizzard Made Me Change My Name · · Score: 0

    Some people just have way too much going on to allow someone else to express their opinion - especially on their own site. Some others just cannot be made happy mo matter what you do. I personally am glad you posted it.

  17. Re:Processor {Power vs Heat vs GHz} on Which CPU Is Tops in Price/Performance? · · Score: 0

    Wouldn't the spinning harddrives, CD-ROM drives and the like also qualify as 'work'? :)

    Wouldn't such a spinning vehicle be difficult to course-correct?

  20. Re:Monad? on A Guided Tour of the Microsoft Command Shell · · Score: 1

    Actually, for those people who don't care what others think about them, that is actually a lot of silly fun. Quake & Axes, Half-Life & Crowbars, etc - some of the most fun gaming I have ever had. Just because it may not be appealing to you doesn't mean that _no one_ likes it...

    The only problem with that is anyone else watching you won't believe you went anywhere :)

  22. Re:What colony on NASA Scraps Shuttle And Returns to Rockets · · Score: 1

    Besides, why do you even care if the human species survives, you and I and everyone else alive today would be dead by then. Good point. The only benefit of a lunar-based or mars-based colony to me would be if myself, my family & friends could go. Otherwise, it makes no difference to me what happens, as it will likely kill us anyway.

    Agreed. Although I am not "guruistic" (I make up my own words when it suits me lol) when it comes to building pages, I have built very basic sites. Amazing the crapola that MS FrontPage dumps in there - the difference is amazing! Is this an attempt by them to try to make the pages most compatible with IE? Sure seems like it...
