[i]health costs especially in major urban areas with smog pollution[/i]
Of course, the pollution is moved from the tailpipe to the powerplant.
I find that (for me) 16:10 is the best of all worlds. 4:3 isn't wide enough, and 16:9 isn't tall enough.
I think you are referring to Sun's NeWS. It was also used by SGI as the windowing system under Irix 3.
It took how many years for Miguel de Icaza to realize this? Most of us could have told him that with seconds.
Of course, MTBF != maximum number of write cycles for a SSD.
Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss.
I love MTs, but the new 5 and 6 speed automatics are very close to a MT in fuel economy. And you don't get the fuel economy savings with a manual if you don't shift it right - I know plenty of idiots who get poorer fuel economy because of their poor shifting habits. In the US, automatics may cost more initally, but usually have higher resale value. And MT versions of some cars are hard to find, and usually are stripped lower end versions.
I find maintenence costs for a MT higher than an automatic - replacing a clutch once costs more than the costs of the number of transmission fluid changes needed to go the same number of miles. Plus I can change the tranny fluid myself, making it even cheaper.
My large sedan gets roughly twice the mileage of a 1965 VW Beetle
My 1974 VW beetle got around 25-28 mpg, driving it in the Washington, DC metro area. I was not a gentle driver. A 1965 should get better, since it had to meet fewer emission and safety (added weight) requirements.
