Re: melodrama at CentOS?
Lance and the CentOS team have provided a very valuable service to the entire Linux community throughout its existence by making an enterprise (specifically RHEL) Linux available to those who need it, but can't afford the pay for the full enterprise package. I would hope that Lance does reconcile with his team. -- Jerry Feldman g...@blu.org Boston Linux and Unix PGP key id: 537C5846 PGP Key fingerprint: 3D1B 8377 A3C0 A5F2 ECBB CA3B 4607 4319 537C 5846 signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
Re: OT: green vehicles (was: Power management)
I wanted to say nearly the same thing. Only I know a few more details being Alan's neighbor. One that he has owned a number of bikes, and already knows how to ride. Two that my '05 DRZ400s gets around 60mpg AND would be fun on his backyard track. Three, what's so bad about rain? Think of it as a totally green bike and gear wash. I'm sure that you could buy a DR650 + a nice waterproof suit for a third the cost of a Prius. And it's A LOT more fun! Just remember to ride safe, because there is more risk involved when meeting Volvo drivers. ;) On Wed July 29 2009 10:27:32 Tom Buskey wrote: On Tue, Jul 28, 2009 at 8:09 PM, Star nhs...@gmail.com wrote: On Tue, Jul 28, 2009 at 11:28 AM, Alan Johnsona...@datdec.com wrote: On Sun, Jul 26, 2009 at 11:58 PM, Bill McGonigleb...@bfccomputing.com wrote: On 07/25/2009 08:44 AM, Alan Johnson wrote: But again, if I'm buying new? Yes, Prius, Prius, Prius. Isn't the nickel mining an environmental and thermodynamic disaster? Even taking that into account, http://www.greenercars.org/highlights_greenest.htm lists the Prius as the second most green vehicle. If you really want to go green, get a motorcycle or scooter... for decades they've been cheaper and better for the environment. My mid-grade cruiser get's about 60 mpg and can be fixed in my drive-way. It's lighter than any hybrid car, is far far cheaper to manufacture, is lighter and has less foot-print on the road leading to exponentially less damage to concrete and asphalt surfaces (thus less need to re-pave), and considering people spend more time solo in any car it just makes sense. My dual purpose '99 DR350 gets about 50 mph. My '82 CB900F gets 28 MPH, but I beat sportscars 0-60. But you're right on all counts. Some cities (London) exempt motorcycles from downtown driving fees. A scooter will give you a more upright seating with some wind protection more storage. Okay, so it's not a good winter-choice, but hey! we're talking about the environment here!!! As someone who has done ice racing and off road riding in 1 foot of snow in January, I'll have to agree. If the roads are wet, it's ice and you don't want to be on the road. Well, maybe in a sidecar. I see one around Chelmsford alot. Riding a motorcycle instead of a car is like using Linux instead of Windows. There are many similarities between the cultures. ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/ -- -- Robert E.
