WERE. have you seen, heard or driven a newer diesel? apparently not...

as for availability, at least where I live/work, it's getting rarer and rarer to find stations that DONT sell diesel.
of the 10 stations I pass each way on my commute only 1 does not sell diesel.

the newer VW TDIs and BlueMotions (used by MB as well) dont use Urea anymore...

I wish I knew... I've been asking for a few years now.
generally it's not a big deal but a Exchange/PDC upgrade earlier this year frazzled my nerves with having to touch ever machine individually to update shares/printers.

at my office I support 200 users/pcs, 10 servers, 4 copier/print systems, document scanning/indexing systems and warehouse production systems - and I'm not allowed to use GPO. my company has other locations with less users/systems to support but with more support staff...

when I still smoked cigs I never had an issue carrying a lighter on the plane.
hell, my backpack pocket probably had 2 lighters and a pack of matches, just in case, and no one ever said anything.

yeah...I'm still trying to figure out when this "no liquids" ban went into effect as my last flight, about 4 months ago, didnt stop me nor anyone else from bringing a drink onto the plane.
I have yet to be charged, nor seen anyone else charged, for a drink either...

that's why my office Ghost images have the box checked to show the full menu.

central VA and AT&T is the best service around here, by far.
I've never had a dropped call while my work provided Blackberry on Verizon and previously Sprint/Nextel never got reception.

we have this amazing invention called a toaster. it has the incredible ability to turn stale bread edible!

I've been a ATT (Cingular, Suncom, etc) customer for about 8 years now and have never dropped a call.
Verizon, Alltel, T-Mobile, Sprint/Nextel...all have dropped calls.

whose anecdotal evidence is better?

one of my remote depot/cross-docks has a 5 port router with a pcmcia slot. that slot holds a standard Verizon aircard that anyone can buy. it's not a "business" only piece of hardware or special contract service either...we pay the same price as any consumer would for the hardware and monthly contract.

that's odd, currently my iPhone (not jailbroken) is running a timer, playing music AND showing/updating my stock info, all at the same time!

in VA, it is illegal to enter a intersection on a yellow even if you are out of the intersection before it turns red.

I cant remember seeing a TV that had a clock period...
