Diesel is not as clean as gasoline (no matter what the oil companies say).
That's true, but misleading in this context. Diesel fuel is denser than unleaded gasoline, and is more fuel efficient overall. Diesel releases less greenhouse gas for the distance traveled. This is because the increased emissions — which are about 15% higher — are more than offset by the increased fuel efficiency of diesel fuel engines — which are about 30% more efficient on average.
To paraphrase Freud, sometimes a Nazi is just a well-known example of some of the worst in the human race. As the extreme terminator of a range definition whose other end was "Greek Democracy", it sets an appropriate boundary
There's Godwinism and there's False Godwinism.
Greek Democracy... so now you're advocating slavery?
For those of you complaining about the jerky video: STFU!
For those of you saying it isn't practical: So What!
I want to take my hat off to these dudes and give them a hearty round of applause and say "Great job guys!"
My point here is these guys had a vision, that led to an idea, that lead to an exparament where a couple of pretty normal folks did something extrodinary. It is the same kind of curiosity that Ben Franklin had when he flew the kite and "discovered" electricity.
Those of you who have offered criticisim, I ask you to reply to this post and tell me what you have done without backing that approximates or bests their very cool accomplishment.
Those of you who have a vision share it, maybe someone will help you make it an idea so, I invite you to share your vision.
For those of you who have an idea, share it and maybe someone will help you make it real.
We don't need government, business, or universities to make the world a better place; just a few ordinary folks who try to do extrodinary things!
Those of you who think this is just very cool, use this thread to virtually offer your applause and (real) encouraging comments!
While they don't publish all of the data, there is a video (about an hour long) that they posted to MSDN that introduces the Ribbon and all of the variations that went into creating it.
In one particular scene, they show data collected from one week's use of most Office 2003 apps. In the video they've ranked all of the features used in Word, Outlook, etc, by number of times used.
In Word, the most commonly accessed feature was Paste. In today's ribbon, where do you see paste? It's the very first icon on the Home tab.
I train people on Microsoft Office for a living. Everyone I've trained on Office 2007 has said how much easier it is to use than 2003. Hunting for common options is no longer a common activity.
There comes a point where a program becomes so complicated, menus don't cut it. The ribbon solves that problem beautifully, and Office 2010 refines it even further.
verilog simulation (for cpu design). Finite element analysis.... 3d rendering
Thank you! You've restored my faith in humanity. I was frightened, but these uses actually require massive compute power. Rock on!
