    Resistive Touchscreens all need calibrated. And they should be calibrated before use. This is idiot operators, not a conspiracy. Problem exists between screen and chair.

    They are talking about modifying the window manager, when they should be buying a 35$ graphics card from this decade, and just always run at native res. There isn't a reason i can find to run at a lower resolution. Also, if you have a VGA LCD, you can actually shorten its life by running outside native. The chip can do the scaling, but they don't cool them properly for this.

    Every game i play runs at native, including some titles from the 2003 era. Hell, with a config file hack, Rollercoaster tycoon (original) plays at 1080p. Linux people apparently like making things hard. That's why i don't use it outside embedded systems.

    Why would you change resolution to game? I just don't understand. My games and my win7 desktop both run at native res for me... with an old ass GTX280....flawlessly...

    From what i'm seeing, there is a solid chance they are buddy buddy with local power producers. Also, if there's less power made in Wisconsin, they will have to bring it in from outside sources.

    The main issue is, they have no plan to replace it. They simply are lowering the electrical supply, and leaving it low, so they can claim they need to charge more.

    And is a LOT to spend on an electric car. My conversion (same range, slightly weaker performance, shorter lifespan(batteries)) cost about 2 grand. I'd spend that money 7 times on 7 cars, instead of just one.

    It is required by law to run 10% in PA. There may be some crazy shops that break this law, but none near me, and none id pay extra for. I rather use it as a reason to assault a government official than pay even more for gas. Shit costs too much as is, and if my electric were allowed on the roads (fail emissions....think about it) then i wouldn't be using gas at all. Also: Read the manual for your car. I've never seen one that doesn't specifically forbid Methanol. I rather the research went to batteries than gas. Full torque at zero rpm is so much fun.

    I take a measured hit on MPG in my honda fit. 45 highway on non-eth (maryland gas) and 38 on PA's eth 10%. My 1974 dodge charger developed a head gasket leak, a damaged fuel pump, and half the carb gaskets melted, all in a 3 month period, that started the month the eth10 was introduced in my town. There is still no valid reason for it to be in our fuel. Corn is food. People are starving world wide. Stop wasting.

  22. Re:Cows eat Grass on Sweet Times For Cows As Gummy Worms Replace Corn Feed · · Score: 1

    The real issue isn't that we are feeding cows corn. Cows seem to like corn. The problem, is they are putting corn in our gas tanks, ruining our cars (ethanol ruins rubber gaskets, among other small, but useful parts.), causing shortages of food and increasing oil company profits.
