I figure it's me just talking to myself on this thread so why bother sticking to the rules..-mouser (March 06, 2013, 02:42 AM)

[...] the point is that fuel efficiency is against the law in the US.-Renegade (March 01, 2013, 06:35 AM)
Note: The Imperial gallon is larger than the U.S. gallon, so when calculating mpg the conversion is 70 mpg Imperial = 58.28 U.S. (source)but-your link
If he knows the engine is made in US but not allowed in the US, it does look like there's something funny going on.
This autocar.co.uk review gives it 800miles to a 70 litre fill which works out at 43 m.p.g. if my maths is correct.
I actually came across this last week somewhere, and just found it again:
Couple [in the US] gets 84 mpg in Passat diesel on real roads
I think this article is mainly about the fact that if you drive about 55 mph you can save up to 23% fuel. Also here. They do use a different model (6 gears) - but the second link says that the previous record was by the model the guy in the video was talking about...-tomos (May 25, 2012, 03:15 PM)
Actually there is a simple solution for the US government - put up fuel taxes (like they have done in most of the developed world) so that if you drive efficient cars the overall tax take is the same. In the short term they would make a huge windfall - in the long term people would buy fuel efficient cars - everyone wins!-Carol Haynes (March 01, 2013, 04:45 AM)
I was looking forward to their Darwin Award Ceremony speech, but alas...-eleman (February 27, 2013, 11:34 AM)
I find it drops down too easily. With a window taking up the full left-hand-side of screen - trying to reach it's close-button is difficult because the bar keeps dropping down.
When the toolbar autohides, I'd prefer if there were less of it visible (I presume that visible strip triggers the drop down - so related to above).-tomos (February 26, 2013, 05:37 PM)
(FWIW I'd prefer more of a delay myself)
thanks everyone. I had it installed, but had not (until now) figured out how to crop or isolated only a portion of the screen that I wanted to print. Now I also understand how to superimpose the entire software over the image I want to print. Thanks again.-sanjo (February 26, 2013, 08:11 PM)
It seems that Microsoft Expression Web 4 is free - is this different from the MEW3 you get under the WebsiteSpark?

No MS support seems to be about it for limitations.-4wd (February 26, 2013, 06:11 PM)

Black Viper's site is what I've used since XP to determine what services I can safely disable.
While YMMV, I've yet to have anything I've disabled due to his info cause any problem on my computers but you do need to know what role your machine has before you go fiddling with them.
And naturally make a backup before you start fiddling.-4wd (February 25, 2013, 10:28 PM)

I think their approach of developing it for the web and then porting it to the desktop is ill-advised at best. (Call it a hunch and take it with a grain of salt.)-40hz (February 26, 2013, 06:18 AM)
Hamradio just created a kick-ass set of icons for the quick capture bar!

| Whats going on regarding Stagestack? [...] Quasado is not ready to give up. They have decided to build a pure web-based (JS/HTML5) edition of the product first, which will help to better fit into present investor strategies (web and mobile apps) as well to allow it to run on mobile, web and for getting a prototype out much sooner. Furthermore, thanks to the donations received--and Quasado's own financial fund--this first prototype can be developed completely on its own. Quasado is planning on publishing a limited-function prototype for people to play around on the web by early to mid-April 2013. [...] We asked about details on their programming process and Quasado tells us they will be using the same web-code for building up a desktop edition by replacing performance-critical parts with native code. They believe this is quite an interesting experiment and will still allow users to work with exactly the same feature-set on the web as well as the native application. They are also building an infrastructure / SAAS Solution around the web edition that will allow designers to better manage and handle their designs as well as interact with their customers. It will support interactive components; meaning users can do UI-Drafts, for example, and other such functions. |
I tried capturing at 700 px wide and inserting in Word to get a quick look at it in a document. I reduced it by half, and it looks much better than the next capture I took, at 350 px wide (with the browser zoomed out appropriately).-aparente001 (February 25, 2013, 12:35 PM)
