My point was that deliberate dumping of waste product, was not the purpose of a well intention, but incomplete (in hindsight) law that saw the cost of small spills was hampering businesses and that vegetable oil is probably less dangerous then regular diesel in small amounts, and that promoting...

the problem being, like home bio-diesel kits, when too many people start doing it the raw material gets hard to find (waste fry oil for bio-diesel, any cheap sugar source for ethanol) and the price begins to rise. At least for ethanol the money you pay for supplies goes to some US (or...

I'm not saying you only get 1 gallon of fuel, I'm saying SAVE 1 gallon of fuel (on average , some people can save more) the longer your comute and the lower your MPG the easier it is. i.e. 30miles x 2(round trip) x 5 days a week = 300 miles if you only get 12 MPG then if by tuneup or careful...

They did, futures dropped 8 cents a gallon for June delivery, however that only means that it won't go up quite as much by June, Unless something bad happens (like war in the middle east.. oops! got that, or rising tensions with Iran, Sudan, or Venezuela.... uh oh! or a predicted severe...

Better prepare your self for sticker (pump) shock , Steve. For the last month I've been driving my parents prius (50+ mpg) while they were on vacation (I should get something for taking the to and from the airport at rush hour) so I've been ignoring the actual prices at the gas station. the...

I think the time for zip drives is past, other more reliable, more standard/widely useable, higher capacity/ with faster writes and cheaper forms of media like CD/DVD R_W flash and even mini HD have taken over. I'm sure Iomega will keep trying to rediscover their niche, but expensive...

i think it would be handy for some things. like a backup/boot disk/favorites/password cache to carry around in your wallet. maybe have scans of your insurance docs, or medical records, etc. incase of diaster like if your house burned down or a car wreck:eek: . I would make a protective (like...

yup, I've got floppy drives on each machine "just in case" Not that I ever use them, but occasionally I get a project which requires recovering data/programs archived from old school machines. The drives will be around until they fail (not buying any new ones:rolleyes: )

Buck-o is correct, Most, if not all current NIC's automaticailly sense and change to crossover if needed (it's called MDI/MDI-X) and it only has to be available/active on one of the cards for it to work. It sounds like your comuter sense the marvel as a new internet connection, but then(of...

Can you bring another monitor in to check? or take your computer to someone elses computer/monitor? other than making sure it is set to see this as the boot video (you'll need to reinstall your old card) making sure the card is fully seated, and the cables tightly attached, an RMA is probably...

What graphics card did you have before? Did you set windows to VGA and COMPLETELY remove the old drivers, before switching to the new card? Does the monitor ever recieve ANY signal, during the boot process? and then fail in windows? There maybe bios or other setup options you need to...

even if he just hung up the police should have, and in most cities probably would have treated it as an emergency.

Hack #1 borrow/play all your neighbors music Hack #2 blast your neighboring Logitech Wireless Music users out with your choice of music, at say 3am.

This could be the boost that saves Apple from its death spiral. Particularly if someone (MS?) decides to offer/help/push driver development.

the 64 bit desktop isn't dead, it's still coming......eventually. AMD sold alot of people on the "must have 64 bit NOW", but it was pretty obvious to me that it would take several generations of 64 bit hardware available before you would see mainstream O/S and driver support, and several...

That's right, it MAY be a viable business model in the future, but alot of people need to use their computers for the next 9 years without having to learn a new O/S, different tools, different apps. (all very similar, yet not quite the same as MS)

Most expensive part of my computer? SOFTWARE! MS office2000 premium was over $800 when new (fortunately I didn't pay for it, MS gave it to me as part of an evaluation group) I now have office 2006 small business on the way a $659 value (also free from MS) I can't begin to say how much...
