On a related topic, I had an issue with my motherboard, which hasn't been resolved. It's an Asrock Z87 Extreme4. Running Windows 7 - I notice that the first hyperthread of my i7 4770k is pegged at 50%. Lots of digging, it looks like it might be a faulty design, putting the intel management engine and the USB subsystem on the same interrupt. What do you lot think?

Thanks -- I didn't really expect to be able to look at it!

I would be interested to see this book -- is there any way to get a copy?

Oops, correct, neither of those are fraud. But all are stealing, whether that is illegal or not.

This is, simply, fraud. It's the same as snatching a purse or looting a shop.

That's the least impressive option, as it's a 50 line script that inserts something from the list of "steak house", "golf course", "mistress", and several less palatable options.

OK, very funny; but I haven't seen mouldy petrol, diesel, kerosene etc. !!

Err, maybe I'm completely misinterpreting every other post in this thread, but as far as I can make out -- mBTU == kiloBTU; mmBTU == megaBTU. I think you're wrong here, maybe?

Anti-fungal agents? Hang on a second here, I didn't know that fungus could feed on hydrocarbons??

Obligatory XKCD: http://xkcd.com/1102/

So, does this mean they sold two tablets this year? :)

I don't know why no EV manufacturer has thought of this:

Build a small generator / fuel tank into a TRAILER that you can hook up to your EV. This gives you the best of both worlds: for short, around-town trips, you leave the range extender trailer at home; but, when you want to drive long distance, just hook up the trailer and you can travel an arbitrarily long distance. Given the incredible efficiency of EVs, it's likely that a well-designed range extender trailer could give you several thousand kilometres of range.

Heh:

Ask Slashdot: What would be the best question to Ask Slashdot? :)

Only bass trombones (the 'F trigger', and sometimes a 'D' trigger too.)

I like you :)
