Sorry - idle banter and off-topic rant about the state of diesel engines
in Ireland.

I'm sorry, but I have to comment on what's being said here.
Basically, the American tax dollar is begrudgingly given to help with

I wonder could The Real Thing be used as the catalyst for making
biodiesel - of course you may have to purify the coke first but your
exhaust fumes may take on a sweet caramelised aroma on top of the
french-fries - stomach-churning huh?!

is more feasible ( that would bring the cost to about $17k). That
reminds me of a project I worked on once where the owner claimed a

I've often thought about a car that would re-charge itself by solar
panels when its sitting outside our offices for 8+ hours a day.
Has anybody looked at this scenario -
where the electric-only car recharges itself during daylight hours
panels when its sitting outside our offices for 8+ hours a day. Based on
current technology it could convert about 2.6kW (0.33kwH x 8 hours) into
electrical energy. However a 20 mile journey home could use up this
energy in the first few miles. Has anybody looked at this scenario -
where the
farm is purchased at an elevated price just to fool around and the main
income is through some other area. My father did the reverse - he
inherited a farm from his father but found the income too low so he
became a carpenter/builder/undertaker and ended up farming just as a
hobby, plus he
is paneled? the
spaces in front of my building are 9X18 ft or 162 feet each. or about
15 meters squared.

Could a diesel hybrid with solar panels could be a marketable product?
Solar-only is the ultimate clean machine but we're a smidge away from
that yet.

from the city (in deliverance land) here's my angle on the thing.

week had my life threatened by a driver eventhough I wore the brightest
clothes

computers to the physical world.
Don't forget backup failsafes. Any accidents in this
fledgling enterprise will be blown all out of
proportion to the public. Home processing could be
banned for example. The people that own petroleum

I've been thinking about using old PCs to do exactly this job for ages
and for work I've used LabWindows to drive the parallel port for a host
of stuff. I've been looking at using plain old DOS6.22 and freeware
TurboC for control. Most parallel ports are bi-directional (well on any
