The real problem with VVA and things like it is, it causes immense wear to the engines. There are cars 1-2 years off the lot with VVA already having their engines replaced. As it runs hotter on 1-3 cylinders at highway speeds, causing premature burnout. And sadly aluminum doesn't take the flux very well of cold, hot, cold. Does nasty things like warping heads, and breaking gaskets.
If we do move to electric vehicles more power plants won't cut it due to transmitting all that extra energy over the power lines.
It would be better for less centralized electrical production, such as solar panels on residential homes, wind-mills on highrises, and other small scale electrical production.
One of the products I do tech support for was last updated back in 1999. It works just fine on almost all computers, but there are specific models of HP/Compaq that they do not work no due to an incompatible audio chipset that is only on specific HP/Compaq computers.
I use T-mobile, I think it's great, I recommend it to friends and family who nearby me who do not do a lot of traveling.
The problem with T-mobile are all the dead areas, when I visit the wife's family up in rural New England I end up having to find hotspots and piggyback on peoples wifi to make calls. There is no way I would recommend T-mobile to them because it doesn't work there, Verizon damn near has that region to themselves.
Yes he was, and he would take your suggestions about his trolling seriously.
This guy though, no imagination, not even remotely entertaining, and will not take any constructive criticism. Hell, goatse trolls are more entertaining and add more to the conversation than this guy.
When Facebook makes a change to their privacy policy they are more concerned with getting that information to their customers rather than being concerned of the privacy concerns of their product.
Facebook is a place you gather with your family and friends.
I guess it's kinda like the difference between using a prostitute at a motel versus bringing one home to meet the family, and then fucking in the living room in the middle of a family reunion that you also invited your friends over for.
I know absolutely jack shit about programming, but I am fairly certain that if I went to school for six months to learn how to program that it would be trivial for me to write that function.

Got any links on that?

If it takes you 20 seconds to get to 60 stay off the road, you are a hazard.
And in Hyundai's GDI engines, kinda.
This is taking direct injection, which we currently have, and bumping it up a notch.
They are removing the spark plug and will instead use compression to ignite the fuel, like diesels do. That is why it is news.
Without ultra-low-sulphur diesel we would be unable to use the European very efficient diesel engines here in the states.
Much of what you said is being done with direct injection engines already.

So Africa with it's lack of factories should have a very good standard of living then?
A local manufacturing base helps with social divides by giving the lower classes a way to become the middle class.
Fuck off troll.

Because they will quietly re-hire another 30,000 people to fire again.
And for the record, Edison was a douche bag.
That is putting it mildly, he was an elephant electrocuting asshole. He would make Steve Jobs look like a good guy in comparison.

Just because someone has intelligence, that doesn't mean he uses it when it comes to politics.
Here is an excellent example of that.

And my first thought was Got Proof?
I think he was advocating letting the ISP's know, not the customers directly.
If it was at all hard to warn them I would see your point, but warning them is so trivial that there is no reason not to do it.
Even with the warning though it ain't going to change anything. It will probably just freak them out.
I have had nothing but good service from TWC here in Austin, I understand that in some other markets though that they do indeed suck.
My experience with DSL though has been nothing but shitty. YMMV.
If you are being paid to post you post what you are paid to post.
Money can buy stupidity.
AT&T will not follow suit, they will figure out a way to fuck their customers even harder, they think of it as a challenge I guess.
That depends on if you need their coverage.

Are you averaging around 2.77gb a day on a residential or commercial account?

The concept is just so simple that even I get it.
