The issue I see is that newer VW TDIs (with the common rail system) is not designed to run on anything higher than B5 (95 Diesel/5 Bio). With my 2012 Jetta, if I use anything higher, they can void my warranty, and they are able to tell. Which sucks cause the station right near me that does Diesel does anywhere from B1 to B11, no notice as to what it is at that time. The problem here is the point in which biodiesel combusts, as compared to straight diesel. To be "clean burning", which VW Diesels are, they do a direct injection of diesel into the exhaust system to burn off the soot and other impurities that are/were common with diesel engines. Biodiesel doesnt ignite the same, leaving the impurities/soot, causing it to clog part of the exhaust system up, requiring expensive replacements.

This is to say, annoying, at the least. Now, I've heard of people having good luck with mod kits adding a second (heated) tank to use with filtered waste vegetable oil, with a cutover switch in the cabin. Start on diesel, switch over to WVO, then switch back later, but those were with pre-2010 VW Diesels.

Very much so. I hear crap like this every day, and only because it's the opposite of their beliefs.

Republican: My car broke down because of a bad tune up, it's because of Obama's (something) package!
Democrat: "My AC unit stopped in a heatwave, because the AC repairman couldn't get a part! This is because Bush made the rest of the world angry, so they wont ship the part!

Muslim: It's all the Christians fault!
Christians: It's all the Muslim's fault!
China: Eh, everybody buys stuff we produced, we dont care.

Crap, I meant "except not really tailored for home use..."

Son of a Dalek...

Yes, and the smaller one is only 10 feet wide, 7 feet tall, and 9 feet deep... (well, there is a smaller one, about 5.5 feet wide, 2.2 feet deep, 6.5 feet high, but it's only 600x800). Oh yeah, and uses 10 kW of power... ( 3.7 kW for the 600x800 one...)

So yeah, they've been doing it for years... except really tailored for home use...

well, I can sorta see how this is good... for the registrar... just think of all the fangirls going to justinbeiber.tickets all day long to see if he's going to sing to them locally, or some crap.

I was always vaccinated as a kid, and I was abducted by a band of roving unicorns... so thats 100% factual! It can happen, folks.. please, prevent unicorn abduction!

Don't forget all the fake nerds out there... you know, the blonde cheerleaders who put on the fake glasses and say they're nerds cause they play XBox...

Most would consider that use impolite if you were shouting into the phone as if it were still an analog cellphone where you had to shout to be heard over the static... which is what the guy in the article was complaining about. People who dont use a cellphone at the same volume as they'd speak to a person next to them, but instead use a volume more suited to talking to someone across the Grand Canyon.

Well, a lof of doctors DO prescribe antibiotics during a viral infection to deal with/prevent secondary bacterial infections due to a reduced immune system caused by the viral infection.

I agree... I hate it when my ship gets boarded by skallywags and they take all my stuff... and shoot at me too! It's very depressing.

Well, if they mean North American by "American", it's sorta true... since a fair number of TV shows are filmed on the continent of North America... generally in the country of Canada, in the city of Vancouver.

So yes, lets save those Canadian's from unemployment!

Add an occasional 2 other laptops and a netbook depending.. and my gaming workstation (yes. workstation.. dual quad-core opterons) when I hook it back up.

A comparison... though I wasnt to specific on that part, my bad.

It'd be like an article saying that round power plugs are better because they're used on a quadrillion devices, and the new fancy magnetic just hasnt caught on.

Yes, it's patented by Apple and thunderbolt isnt... but the main point stands, until recently, it was only on Apple hardware...

Lets not forget, up until the recent IDC, Intel had stated that Apple was the exclusive system with Thunderbolt...so that does give a very narrow number of systems it could be on.

Also, the Maglock power input connector isnt that common.... because it's only on Apple systems... go figure

But, Force10 switches actually are crap. They're just like Cisco in every way except everything...

At my last job, we had nothing but problems with Force10 equipment...including one which started smoking (literally...) at about 40gbit...
