It used to be that diesel would develop 'flocks' (the Dutch term is 'vlokken') that could get stuck inside an engine, fuel-lines etc. Older diesel engines were not too happy about that.
Diesel can be treated and it hardly happens anymore in the Dutch climate. However, After seeing the outside temperature of minus 80 degrees Celsius when I sat inside a commercial airliner at 30.000 feet, going 800 kilometers an hour...I think that the 'flock' problem with diesel returns and will be very hard to fix at these temperatures.
Now I didn't know that jet fuel and diesel were alike. Never too late to learn something new-Shades (August 02, 2013, 10:57 PM)
Update from reason.com -
it appears the details were very different:Yes, the Catalano's Long Island home was searched, but by the Suffolk and Nassau County Police Departments, not the Feds. Yes, the police asked Catalano's husband what he knew about making a pressure cooker bomb, not because the NSA had seen his Google history, but because his ex-employer had.http://reason.com/bl...-on-couple-who-searc-tomos (August 02, 2013, 10:04 AM)
Seven years ago at dinner, I mentioned something I had read on wikipedia and my 12-year-old piped up and said, "I edit postings there all the time!" And after dinner he proved to me that he did. He is 19 now and I just asked him if he remembered that incident and he just snickered and walked away. Just sayin'.-Joe Hone (January 05, 2013, 06:57 PM)
Support mandatory euthanasia for seniors to help keep health care costs down.
That guy cracks me up. The nutty petitions are just off the hook.

I think a lot of the motivation behind laws like this is to ultimately eliminate the ability to anonymously access the web. Small surprise really since you need an account or a license to use almost any other communication technology. Even public speech is starting to require a permit in many places.
So in Florida's case, I think one unspoken goal is to get the Internet equivalent of a public pay phone off the streets. Because it's just one more way to get a handle on the illegal migrant worker community.-40hz (July 16, 2013, 07:48 AM)
I’ve had an unusual number of interesting conversations spin out of my previous article documenting that mobile web apps are slow. This has sparked some discussion, both online and IRL. But sadly, the discussion has not been as… fact-based as I would like.
So what I’m going to do in this post is try to bring some actual evidence to bear on the problem, instead of just doing the shouting match thing. You’ll see benchmarks, you’ll hear from experts, you’ll even read honest-to-God journal papers on point. There are–and this is not a joke–over 100 citations in this blog post. I’m not going to guarantee that this article will convince you, nor even that absolutely everything in here is totally correct–it’s impossible to do in an article this size–but I can guarantee this is the most complete and comprehensive treatment of the idea that many iOS developers have–that mobile web apps are slow and will continue to be slow for the forseeable future.

OR... you could just show up as yourself and get the freekin' party started:
http://www.h-online....ference-1917800.htmlGeneral Keith Alexander, the Director of the US National Security Agency (NSA) and Commander of the United States Cyber Command, is to be a keynote speaker at this year's Black Hat conference.* Edvard gets some popcorn and a lawn chair-Edvard (July 17, 2013, 12:07 AM)
On July 31, Black Hat USA will welcome General Keith B. Alexander to the stage. His keynote will give attendees an unmatched insider's look into the U.S. Cyber Command and the inner workings of cyber strategy. It would also be fair to expect some discussion of another of his roles—Director of the NSA.

that was an interesting viewpoint, and helpful advice.
I've actually used that approach fairly successfully when meeting independent-minded ... cats, for the first time.-tomos (July 16, 2013, 04:37 PM)
