I love my VX Nano. If you're going to be dual-booting anything, go with RF. I found having to re-associate bluetooth every time I boot into the other operating system (and back again) to be VERY annoying.

And I pretty much cancel you guys out with my 6.5 Diesel Blazer that I commute in. I go for the cheapest easiest fuel source. Yay Capitalism!

French Train Breaks Speed Record 612

Posted by Zonk on Tuesday April 03, 2007 @01:53PM from the zooom dept.

Josh Fink writes "A French train on the TGV line has broken the wheeled train speed record - again. At a speed of 350 miles per hour, they came close to breaking the all time record of 361 miles per hour, held by a Japanese maglev train. It was last broken back in 1990. From the article: 'The TGV, short for "train a grande vitesse," as France's bullet trains are called, is made up of three double-decker cars between two engines. It has been equipped with larger wheels than the usual TGV to cover more ground with each rotation and a stronger, 25,000-horsepower engine, said Alain Cuccaroni, in charge of the technical aspects of testing.'"

Your correction, that "SOME Americans can afford to drive SUVs", makes a good point. There are lots of people here who live below the poverty level. I'd like to extend that by saying SOME Americans who drive SUVs can actually afford them, but most cannot. I've never been to Europe and probably wouldn't make a "standard of living" comparison if I had (apples to oranges and all that), but I'm pretty sure few Americans who buy new or late model vehicles pay cash for them. In this country to guess a person's net worth based upon his vehicle(s), home(s), etc. is pure folly. I don't know if that's true in Europe but here in the US it's a fact of life.

Journal Journal: How it came to a end 2

Journal by Guipo on Friday August 08, 2003 @06:24PM

Wow. My marriage is over. What a feeling of relife. Well sort of. It ended well. well at least for me. I felt good about the outcome at least. I felt like I gave her a good deal, and came out a very nice guy, while still getting everything I wanted.

I basically only made her responsible for around 2k worth of 11k of total debt. I also suspended my alimony towards her, while dealing with the debt. I think things are very good.

Yes, I know all of these are the same things. I actually know quite a bit about Diabetes. You see,I went to school for Clinical Labratory Sciences, so I know quite a bit about diabetes. Donna, my Ex, is also type 1 diabetic. So is my Father. And now, my 9 month old daughter is one as well.

It all Started somewhere between tuesday and thursday. Whe I had her Wednesday night, she was feeling terrible, caughing so hard she couldnt sleep, and kept me up all night.

Journal Journal: interesting week 4

Journal by Guipo on Friday June 13, 2003 @07:54PM

well, I've been meaning to write in my old journal for a few days now, and its dead at work, so I decided to do it.

First things, I just found out, from unnamed sources that Donna is seeing someone. Ronnie is his name. Thats about all I know. You know what, I should feel all hurt, and stuff or whatever, but really I dont. Kinda surprised, and I guess I feel like one is supposed to, but I'm glad for her, if she found someone she can be with.

Wow, what a week. I went from being good friends with kim, to being better friends. Spent tons of time with her, and became very close. I really do love her already. Scary. Also, I got into some Drama with Donna, who insists that the 900 I give her every month is not enough for her to support our daughter. My ribs are killing me, after being flung from a jetski at 50 MPH. And they only see to be getting worse. I also, was lucky enough to go to Yosimite yesterday, I took a vacation day. Wo

Journal by Guipo on Wednesday May 21, 2003 @07:13PM

So kim and I are going to be just friends. for a while. Until I'm legally divorced, and we feel ready (and or a unspecified amount of time). This is a mutual agreement, that actually now that I read it sounds alot worse than it is.

Journal Journal: lotsa personal stuff this time. 2

Journal by Guipo on Monday May 19, 2003 @04:30PM

whoa what a weekend. I'm starting to question how much personal stuff I should aire here on good old Slashdot. I dont have anythign to hide, but certain other parties may not want things known in public knowledge. Then again, who'd guess that my blog is on slashdot. I guess you'd have to either be my ex, or one of my really good friends. I guess if it ever becomes a problem, the other parties I'm sure will be sure to tell me.

Well, i'll get to the good things in a minute. I want to go over the bad things. Poo. I'm sick. Some kind of sore thoat thingie. It sucks. I feel like poo. And I'm at work. And I wanna go home. Worse thing is that I wont have time to get any better, since i have jessica all weekend, and so i wont slow down. I need to rest. maybe I'll invite my mom over so I can rest. I dunno.

Journal Journal: sleep isn't needed... is it?

Journal by super_amy on Monday May 12, 2003 @05:05PM

five AM has been the average wake-up time for the past five days. The average sleep time was... well... a smaller number. I've never really considered sleep a necessity for me. I mean yeah, of course it's nice. Of course it's all i think about while i inhale my daily coffee intake. But lately this has been getting slightly out of hand. Also, I've been trying to cut back on caffiene, and I'm being very strict about it. So thus far, I've had no coffee since I woke up very early this morning. I'
