    Why is that frustrating? Slang is often the basis for language change. I view it as a pretty high evolution of language use when you take terms understand their meanings, and use them with a subtle twist on the subject matter. There are other 'sciences' that take common English terms and give...

    My current HTPC is around 1000 on Passmark. I'm looking for something that at least doubles that. I'm not sure if keeping either case is a good idea. The 160 seems to have questionable buttons. Fairly simple design without much real cooling design. The server case is around 40 pounds. It was...

    How to deal with wind chill?

    I've considered that. I've gone with uggs, original, before they were uggs uggs, like from 1973. They still hold together, and, the wool is still holding up. Expensive, even back then. Great for apre le surf.

    Really needs to be split into three states, or two states and another part of Mexico. It totally sucks having the Constitution destroyed by the Southern part of the state, which is already really a part of Mexico. Bringing Mexico's ideas here will work as well as they do in Mexico. As for nice...

    I'll take this a bit further. Pretty much every accident I've been in, and that's like one, would have been avoided if I had a lighter car, bigger brakes, and tires, more agility.

    Of course then you would have to improve your snide remarks;-) Today, in the house, I used the following heating techniques: Take a hot bath. Empty tub, refill with 140 degree water, then, use a fan to blow the hot air into the rest of the house. We pay for electricity, but not the power used...

    I think I met David's wife(I should use a score card with David to try and remember which are the engagements, marriages and divorces) and, if it's the same one, I wouldn't be saying anything like that to her. First, I respect David, and, his wife is both too nice and demands too much respect to...

    The odd part about this Delta Wing is it's been done before, of sorts, as a result of the CanAm spinoff 917-30 etc. That, and the car looks a LOT like a landspeed record car. That said, the real problem with todays' cars is weight. I envisioned long ago that cars would all be under 3000...

    "Also, the added bonus of reclaiming some of the energy lost as heat through the use of a turbo might help a little." Ah, no. The problem with turbos is how to get rid of the heat. To reach maximum results from each bang, you have to cram as much fuel and air as possible into the cylinder...

    The driving force in engine design for F1, and this kind of car, the wing, is aerodynamics. Flat 12's were designed because they created a better wind signature then a similar V 12. In this case the height of the 4 works to the advantage of the car in creating a wing effect, and in narrowing the...

    Nichia Develops 60 Lumen Per Watt White LED

    One thing about the MFL's is half their light is directed inwards. The LED's send 100% of their light OUT. That's a huge difference in brightness.

    More the contemporary man-cave. Downstairs apartments kind of lend themselves to that. The lights remind me more of 40-60 Watts. The very bright LED's through the clear bulb is really bright. Also, they are replacing MFL. The walls are painted high quality, high gloss paint. They reflect well...
