Double post...

Guantanamo Bay closes within a year... Good, but I guess we'll all have to help each other sorting out the mess GWB created. Or maybe Obama could give the prisoners some free land in Texas, next to GW's estate? That would be funny...

GetDataBack worked OK for me when I accidentally formatted the wrong drive once. :) It's available as a free demo. http://www.runtime.org/data-recovery-software.htm

I think the IOC will pick the city that bribes the best. ;)

Well, if something, Apple has shown us that people want to download stuff from the internet. So I believe that Merc is absolutely right.

Well, I think most people that aren't totally deaf can hear the difference between a $20000 CD player and a $100 one.

I mean, I've listened to a Linn Sondek CD12 that used to cost $20000 around 2004 and it sounded pretty good. It actually made Linn's own $10000 Unidisk 1.1 sound like utter crap in comparison. And there's a few more steps down to the sound quality of the $200-$2000 CD players that most of us...

OK, it's really sad to waste all this carbon fiber and the fine engine on a car that doesn't handle well on the road...

CD quality is OK, but it's almost impossible to extract the full potential of the CD. You'll probably need a $5000+ CD player to even come close. The best solution today is probably to rip the CD's and get one of these. Even a Squeezebox would probably give a big improvement for most of us...

No, I didn't see it, I think we're out of synch with BBC here. The clip is a bit of a rape on Alfas, but I love the 75. I think I'd rather drive one of those than the 8C. I think part of the attraction with Alfa Romeo comes from the fact that if you make an Italian auto engineer choose between...

If the Corvette is the Arnold Schwarzenegger of cars, Alfa Romeos are like Sabrina Ferilli, it's not fair to compare them. And do I have to say that I'd choose an Alfa any day? ;)

I think you'll end up in Russia (canon.ru) if you click at "Canon North-East Oy" on the global Canon web page, Finland is also listed as "Caonon Oy" instead of "Canon Finland". Canon should have an international warranty, but ask them if you're not sure.

Congratulations. =)

I think that Morgan is still owned by the Morgan family. Caterham is also still english... And I'm sure there are a few more that I can't remember right now.

I don't know if this works, but it helped me when I had problems installing VS SP2 on 2003. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/938759/en-us

My favorite whisky at the moment is Bruichladdich 15. It's really smooth and just a little bit peaty.

Ops, I posted the same news as Lunar Mist did here, sorry. Looks like a nice camera though. :)

I would also go with the Seasonic.

Perhaps they aren't that concerned with tolerances, or maybe they use slightly different materials with wrong characteristics? Some stores sells hammers that bends after 10 minutes of use, sandpaper where the sands comes loose after five strokes and so on... So I'm not that surprised if there...

This is also a little bit funny http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a3PEfnojN5k

Nice. :) You might also try and inflate the tires with nitrogen, it should give you better mileage or speed... (at least in theory.)

That, and buy spoilers and stuff. And you can always rip off the external rear view mirrors...

It doesn't really matter if you improve five or 1000 roads in a large city, the traffic will increase until the main roads are congested again. It's exactly the same with buses and trains. If you build it, people will eventually travel with it even if there was no initial demand.

Well, it might not happen the same week as the road opens, but it'll change quite fast. There are plenty of studies made about the subject, as jtr1962 mentioned.

Oh I'm sorry, I just took for granted that USA had a growing population and that some people are drawn to large cities... Maybe that's not the case.

The traffic and need for transportation will increase regardless... If you make it easier to take the car -> more people will take their car until the new and improved roads are congested. But if you have an attractive and efficient public transport system as an alternative, people will...

Easy, it's been tried and it always generates more traffic. It would be better to build more efficient public transport systems.

You didn't actually say it, but it sounds like it would be a big sacrifice to consume less oil. :) But it won't affect the quality of life in a negative way at all if we make a slow transition. It will probably be more negative if we wait until we run out of easily accessible oil.

You make it sound like a big sacrifice to reduce oil consumption, but it's not like we need to go back to living in caves and poking ants out of the ground with sticks you know.

Maybe you are confusing nannying with evolution? ;) There are already powerful and quite efficient cars that are fun to drive, like the BMW 535d and Saab 9-5 2.3 BioPower, but they aren't sold in the US (yet).

Interesting points... But we really don't need 8 cylinder cars even when driving at the autobahn at 250km/h... So I really don't understand why American moms should need one when they're driving to the mall alone? It seems like the author of the article think it's bad to make cars more...

Well... I'm not so sure about that. ;) http://www.sun.com/servers/x64/x4500/index.xml

I haven't actually tried it myself, but I think Typo3 looks interesting. And it supports most kinds of databases.

Congratulations. :D

congratulations :)

There's something strange going on. I posted something in the "commutes"-thread, and the main forum page got updated, but not the Pub & Brewery section?

I have a 10 minute walk or 3 minute bicycle ride to work. :)

Sorry, but I have to quote this again. It's easy, get the customers interested in the cars. In Sweden we have had different kind of economic rewards if you buy an "environmentally friendly" car. You can get tax-rebates if you have a company car, if you are a private person you get 10000SEK...

I think most manufacturers spend their time to make engines more efficient, bu to get more power out of them. It's sexier to say that new model has 20 hp more than the previous generation, than it is to say that it uses 0.4 litres less fuel per 100km or whatever.

Carrots are good for consumers, it works great. But the car makers won't be spending millions of dollars on developing these efficient cars unless there are laws that tells them to. It's the same everywhere.

Why are you so against moving away from the automotive stone age? I don't understand it...

This sounds really interesting. Filter Pledges Crisp Photos in Low Light

Ok... 2006 Saab 9-5 2.0t BioPower, 150hp with gas, 185hp with ethanol. And did I mention that I drive it 24/7 and use maximum acceleration all the time, just because it's so cheap with ethanol? Just like that wise man Csaba Csere predicted. ;)

Not if they make good fuel efficient cars... ;) It almost seems like you don't trust the ability of the American car makes.

I'll take a look at it when they release the final version. Apparently this version crashes faster then any other browser on earth.

A beautiful car, congratulations.

My Samsung SATA optical has also been working fine.

nice...
