Microsoft buys Minecraft for $2.5bn. Notch: I'm getting the block outta here
Re: Poor Notch...
Impressed at your ability to be so protective over your toys (while kicking your own personal ones out of the pram) and pissed-off at the developer actually getting paid for something you admit you've stolen.

6 Obvious Reasons Why Facebook Will Ban This Article (Thank God)

Windows Registry-infecting malware has no files, survives reboots
Re: "a tool Microsoft uses to hide its source code from being copied"
For those that missed it in the article....
"To prevent attacks like this, anti-virus solutions have to either catch the initial Word document before it is executed (if there is one), preferably before it reached the customer's email inbox."
Microsoft: You NEED bad passwords and should re-use them a lot
cheap trick...
And I stress the term "cheap "here... As most phishing is done in batch, it's unlikely system looking for the same password on multiple sites is going to work this out. A human might have a bit more luck, if they were determined.. But anyway....
Think of a passphrase - eg, "I was born in England in the 70s", something you're unlikely to forget. Take the initial letters and numbers, "IwbiEit70s"
That's your seed and to anyone reading it it's meaningless. Now, decide on a couple of characters to always swap in your phrase, say the second and fourth and stick to that. You'll always be swapping those letters for the second and fourth letters of the website the password is used at. So for eBaY, it becomes "IbbiEyt70s". For aMaZon, it's "ImbiEzt70s". For fAcEbook, "IabiEet70s". To anyone grabbing it, it looks like a random password, but you know the system. Yes, there will inevitably be some collisions, but it's better than having the same absolutely everywhere.
Also, you're unlikely to forget a password ever again - if you can remember your ebay one, you can remember your amazon one..

Code Spaces goes titsup FOREVER after attacker NUKES its Amazon-hosted data
Surely a call to Amazon could have resulted in a total lockdown once they knew they were under threat? A freeze of snapshots and an inability to remove history would have been a good place to be, if such things are possible in AWS...

Your biggest mistake was flipping the switch and walking out the door leaving it unattended all weekend. For something so critical, that was a huge fail.
"A bit of testing" never works out the same once the users start clattering it. For something as mission-critical as email, it's something to do and stick around to watch for a good while.

Restricting it to the cellular bands is a great idea. Until your wife goes into labour in the car, or another passenger is in need of the emergency services. You haven't really thought that one through have you...

Has anyone ever come across a software virtual-SAN, by which I mean a service running that for example emulates EMC hardware so it can be used for training with EMC toolset?
While we have production and DR arrays, neither are really suitable for bringing new folks up to speed (yes, we do send people on training courses, this was just kind of a wish-list sort of thing).
Even something that back-ends SMI-S would be good, doesn't necessarily have to be EMC specific I guess.

Dropbox nukes bloke's file share in DMCA brouhaha – then admits it made a 'HASH OF IT'
Hashes also useful as a de-dupe mechanism. Why store the same file a million times, if it really is identical? (Here's hoping for no hash collisions in that case then...tho of course second-level could always kick in with multiple hashes with different-schemes to try and ensure a difference)

Microsoft to get in XP users' faces with one last warning

Reg HPC man relives 0-day rootkit GROUNDHOG DAY
Re: err...
You're asking how to protect against your disk-backups being corrupted? How about a non-live backup that can't be live-edited? There's this stuff called tape y'know..... it had been quite popular over the years... There's also one-time snapshots, volume shadow copies, previous versions...
So this was major big-time forensics... which was ran remotely (ie, while infected system was booted and thus untrustworthy)... and they wanted a whopping $100 ? (yes, that's sarcasm....you've paid peanuts and wondering why you got monkeys)
Sound like a bunch of cowboys. Oh, and reflashing back to a few days won't get rid of a persistent rootkit. Sorry to say, but it sounds like this bunch are every bit as clueless as you are.
Oh, and your oh-so-special NAS boxes would have been for nothing had you malware that encrypted files and charged you for access.

Amazon, Hollywood, Samsung: PLEASE get excited about 4K telly
Netflix and Lovefilm etc can all show as much interest as they like - but while my 80mb Fibre connection might stream a 4K film, it'll still be horribly compressed and nowhere near the quality of those sexy demos we're seeing at the shows.
Much like the 1080p Youtube etc stuff I currently watch is, then. Labelling something HD because the vertical resolution is 1080, but the compression is turned up so high to make it look crap, really is a scam.
Physical content will have to do for quite some time then, but not seeing many 4K blu-ray players out there yet....
(And talking of scams... what's with all this "blu ray optimized for 4k TVs" shit? or "blu ray, filmed in 4k". BS-hype, the lot of them eg http://www.amazon.co.uk/Total-Recall-Blu-ray-4K-Copy/dp/B00D6AASDA/ )

UK.gov's web filtering mission creep: Now it plans to block 'extremist' websites
But by post-Snowden logic, by blocking these sites all we'll be doing is *forcing* them damn terrorists into using ever-harder-to-crack encryption, darknet etc to fuel their radical ideas.*
Surely they'd be better off monitoring who's watching them, than trying and failing to block them entirely... All GCHQ then has to do is sit and watch, like lions watching the watering hole. Why drive the prey away?
* not that I buy entirely into that idea, anyway.

Those Xbox One first-day glitches: GREEN screens of DEATH, disc crunching
Re: Is no one capable
Totally agree - I got the green-screen and wondered if the console had hung. 5 minutes later, we were off to the races. What a joke - why on earth wouldn't they have put some kind of "I'm alive and doing stuff, don't turn me off" notice aboard? Or the ubiquitous spinning hourglass? It looked like a total freeze.. and took some control not to turn it off.
My local GAME says 3 consoles were returned all failing to update - I'm betting it was users who (fairly enough) thought the system had hung.
Oh, and had a full-on hang in that free keep-fit game the other day, which in turn hung the entire console. Had to forcibly power it off (hold down power button on front for 10 secs). Novel...

That reminds me - this tale and a couple others are recounted in the excellent book "The Cuckoo's Egg", by Clifford Stoll. I lost mine years ago... so off to find a copy.
I remember one of the tales where they were tracking someone coming in via dialup modem, but weren't ready to log quite yet. They didn't want to pull the plug as the miscreant might have got suspicious. So they jangled car keys over the wires to the modem, creating noise and eventually a dropped carrier...

- good dinnerKristinaDined on 10/31/2014We went on Halloween night, so it wasn't crowded at all, which was to be expected. However, the service was kind of slow - it felt like it took forever to get our food. The server seemed to be new at serving, as she came to take our orders and then realized she didn't have anything to write them down on. There was also live music in the bar, which was nice, but a little loud for our liking. Next time we go on a live music night, we will be sitting in the dining room! The food was delicious, however!Special Features:
- LOVES FOODLOVEFOODVIPDined on 10/29/2014GREAT SERVICE BUT OUR SERVER KIM MADE THE NIGHT WITH HER SMILE GREAT SERVICE AND MENU SUGGESTIONS WED NIGHT IS LADIES NIGHT- DONT MISS RICK LEVY PLAYING IN THE BARSpecial Features:

Bread basket: Just ordinary small bread pieces, could have been a little more elegant ! Two small steaks,(with with crab meat) last item on the menu, could have been char-prepared. Nothing special.Special Features:
- John GallaDANCEPARTY51Dined on 10/25/2014We have been to the Black Steer many times and have never been disappointed. The food was great and the service is usually outstanding . My party usually likes to dine and enjoy the live entertainment, unfortunatly like many other establishment they were not set up for live entertainment . You must sit in the lounge area where it is first come first served to get a table. Then after the "Diners " are done they come into the lounge where it gets to be too crowed and way to loud , then it is hard to enjoy the entertain ment.Special Features:
- Black Steer CharbroilOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/24/2014Went here because of a gift certifate. Will go back because it was a great experience. The bar was excellent, the service promp and continous. Would recommend to others.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- It was okayOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/18/2014Everything was great but our waiter was not very attentive. We ordered steak and thy both came out burntSpecial Features:
- Black Steer CharhousejmeyersDined on 10/17/2014I made a reservation online which was very easy. We went with two other couples for dinner. The food was excellent (filet and pork chops), the atmosphere was comfortable and it wasn't loud so we were able to converse easily. We stayed for a short period after we paid the bill and never felt like we needed to rush out of there.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- wolfyVIPDined on 10/11/2014We have been here many times. As of late the quality of food and service seems to be declining. Hope they figure it out soon.Special Features:
- Going downToppopDined on 10/11/2014When new owners took over there stated intent was to elevate the quality of food and service. To their credit, they accomplished that! However, as of late the quality is on the decline and the prices are going up. They are starting to lose some credibility!Special Features:
- Good choiceJimmyJDined on 10/10/2014Very good food at a reasonable price. Although it is a steakhouse, and the steak is good, it has a varied menu that should satisfy everyone. Our server was attentive and friendly.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DisappointedOpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 10/3/2014This visit to Black Steer was not as good as many of my past visits. Our waitress Pam was pretty much on autopilot. My skirt steak was tough and over cooked and I was prepared to let her know. She walked up and said "how's the food girls? " and then answered her own question by saying "its good" and walked away, never waiting for me to reply or making eye contact. There was another issue with the bill. We had a coupon for $10 off $50. We spent $49.97 and she said we needed to order something else. Okay, I ordered a dessert to go. BUT once we reviewed bill, she UNDERcharged us for the coke by .50 cents and by doing so, caused me to have to spend $7 on the smallest piece of carrot cake I ever had from a restaurant.
- Great Steak HouseLamboDined on 10/1/2014Found these guys on internet, was easy to make reservation. Great food, attentive service. Would highly recommend. First class place.
- Sunday afternoon lunchOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 9/14/2014I made reservations to ensure my impatient father-in-law would not endure delay anticipating his "free" lunch - I was buying. We all enjoyed the stuffed mushroom appetizer and french onion soup. These 2 items are must haves when dining at Black Steer. My daughter, wife and I ordered filet and my in laws had tilapia. We were all very satisfied with our meals and I was happy with moderately priced lunch for 5.Special Features:
- Great SteaktjjeVIPDined on 8/12/2014The food was excellent, especially for the price. Will definitely return.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fabulous foodAdrianaDined on 8/10/2014Food, service, ambience - Black Steer Charhouse has it all!Special Features:
- drinks overpriced!OpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 8/8/2014$9 for a martini is outrageous!, but the food was great as alwaysSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Black Steer Charhouse - 2 starsCJ197800Dined on 8/4/2014Purchased a Groupon type deal for Black Steer Charhouse since many of my locals had recommended it. Ambience was OK. Server was attentive. Food, that's another story. My companion ordered the pork chops. They were tough and dry in some sections and fine in others. Completely uneven cook. My chicken parmesan arrived with a pasta that was not spaghetti and the chicken was thin and had a glob of mozzarella on top barely melted. Ordered a side of garlic mashed potatoes as they are my weakness. Arrived cold and stiff with a glob of jarred garlic on the top. Not at all appetizing.
- Good for a groupSandyDined on 8/1/2014Our department was there for an anniversary celebration and the staff made sure we were all taken care of. Very nice for the person of honor to receive such royal treatment.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The following 215 reviews are from the Black Steer Charhouse reviews archive.
- JudybethVIPDined on 7/30/2014Very disappointed that even though I indicated in my reservation that we were celebrating Bob's 75th birthday, there was no acknowledgement whatsoever of this. For that reason, I will not return
- dinerVIPDined on 7/29/2014a decent amount of outdoor seating available. Food is pretty good, and reasonably priced.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent FooddancersDined on 7/26/2014I initially made the reservation for four people. We were attending the Illinois State Square Dance Convention at the Weston. We phoned in to add two more people. The service and food is excellent. My wife an I have eaten there several times and we keep coming back. I know you'll like it if you try it.Special Features:
- bbakDined on 7/25/2014the 6 of us had a great time all because our food was really good and our waitress was outstanding with service and individualized attention to all at our table. Of course we'll be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- It's always good!palsalDined on 7/20/2014My husband and I go there whenever we can. The food is delicious and the service is friendly and quick.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Black Steer Great As UsualFineDiningGary1VIPDined on 7/4/2014As repeat dining and lounge band listening/dancing Itasca area customers, Black Steer of Elk Grove Village can always be counted on for good, food, spirits, service, and cleanliness. Now that summer is here, the outdoor patio is a awesome place to dine and listen to the live music. I think the establishment can be known for the customers it keeps...a good sign to us all. Thanks Black Steer owners and staff!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Black Steer CharhouseCKayDined on 6/24/2014As seen through the eyes, ears and palate of a visitor to Chicago and environs........... The best dinner of our week long stay!! Steaks were perfect, service was great, and the server was quite friendly. And, the prices were most reasonable.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Food average. Poor service.frawlmaDined on 6/21/2014Our server was a dud. When we didn't immediately know what we wanted to drink, he said that he would come back. It was 10 minutes later. Our meal was average food at high price. Only offered additional to the gentleman in the group. While making a request server walked away. Never asked if we wanted dessert, which we did. The bill took forever. This was not the first time with the same complaint...service. I thought I would try again but I'm done.Special Features:
- Trending downDinerDined on 6/17/2014Eaten here during several owners. Trending down. Had three entrees. Both fish were very good. Bone-in ribeye was tough. Suspect steak quality not what it was once.
- good...not too crowdedOpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 6/15/2014I was looking for a good restaurant for fathers day, but didn't want the usual hour wait at the regular chain steak houses. gave this place a try because it accepted reservations. the soup was excellent. the steaks were good. quality matched up with a longhorn or outback type place. and they had a little more variety with prime rib, and lamb chops. cost a couple of bucks more per person than your mid level chain, but for fathers day the extra couple bucks was worth not having to wait to eat.
- disappointing fathers day lunchdiner420Dined on 6/15/2014I ordered fish and half of it was burnt the waiter was boring and seemed like he didn't want to be there. Would not go back
- busyladyDined on 6/1/2014The waiter seemed to want to rush us to order. In fact, when one of the menus didn't have the special card, he said oh you can share it. We declined his comment and asked that we get a list of the specials for each of us. The food was very good.Special Features:
- email@example.com on 5/31/2014This has been our friends first dinner at Black Steer. They thought it was a great experience. We ate outside on a patio. The drinks were reasonably priced. The food was great. My friend usually doesn't have a kind word to say about his steak dinner at a restaurant, but was ecstatic about his rib eye steak and the way that it was cooked (medium rare). All in all a big THUMBS UP.Special Features:
- Very decent place to eatJasmanDined on 5/30/2014The service was great along with a great menu. We had the wood fired chicken which was a good deal for the price. The bar had a very good band and a lively crowd.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- 1st TimersGreatVIPDined on 5/23/2014It was our first time to eat here and it was much more than we expected. The decor is beautiful, the service was very pleasant, and the food was wonderful! I had the spicy mango tilapia and my husband had chicken and ribs - excellent dishes. Oh and the calamari melts in your mouth - yuuuuuuumy!Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 5/15/2014We had 18 guests in to Chicago for a training session and chose the Black Steer Charhouse for our dinner outing. I set up our reservation on Open Table and someone from the restaurant called to confirm our reservation. On the day of our reservations, Helen called to confirm again. I advised that we wanted to pick 3 entrees from the banquest menu for our guest and also gave her our appetizer and drink requests. She set up menus for our group with the three entrees to pick from and had them ready at each seat for our guests to choose from. Our appetizers (preordered via the Open Table website) were served shortly after we sat down. It made the planning so much easier than normal for our large groups. Thank you.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- wolfyVIPDined on 5/10/2014As always a good meal at a reasonable price! Very comfortable lounge without the overpowering entertainment. We will be visiting again soon.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Receiving a file over ethernet very slow
I have 5 computers connected to my router on a gigabit LAN. Two of the computers are WINDOWS 7 machines, one is a Windows Vista Ultimate machine and the other two are Linux. Everything works fine and always has worked fine until yesterday.
On one of Windows 7 machines I can copy a very large file from the machine onto other machines and get 27 Mb/s transfer speed. On the other hand, transfering a file from any other machine (Windows 7, Vista, Linux) on to this "broken" computer I only get up to 10 Kb/s. So, for example, transferring a 500 mb .avi file onto the broken machine will show as requiring 3 days to complete.
Here is the perplexing thing... running Fedora 14 in a virtualbox (with a bridged network adapter) on this broken computer allows me to transfer a file onto this broken machine at normal speeds. So, the exact same 500 MB .avi file that Windows 7 says will take 3 days to transfer will completely transfer over the same network with the same hardware onto the same machine within seconds. Also, this machine dual boots into Linux and everything works fine under Linux...
I tried updating the driver with Hardware Manager in Windows 7... but it says that I already have the latest driver.
I don't know where to start with troubleshooting this as it seems pretty obvious that it is somethjing wrong at the level of Windows 7 on this machine and I do not have this problem at all on other machines.

The first thing I would point a finger at is your firewall, or antivirus software.
Temporarily disabling them would either confirm or deny that.
Windows update doesn't always have the best drivers for a device. Without more specific information about your system, I can't really say though.
You may also want to try a different ethernet cable.
|My System Specs
|20 Feb 2011
What additional information would you require? Incidentally, I disabled the firewall and the transfer speed went up to about 1 MB per second, which is still very slow but faster than before.
|My System Specs
|20 Feb 2011
If it's a prebuilt system, just make and model number i.e. dell pavilion dv6000.
If you built it yourself, motherboard make and model.
|My System Specs
|20 Feb 2011
It works fine with Linux so it is not a hardware problem but... here goes:
The motherboard is a BIOSTAR TA790GXBE with a Realtek RTL8111DL network adapter built into it.
|My System Specs
|20 Feb 2011
Well much to my surprise there is a native Windows 7 driver available on the manufacturers website.
BIOSTAR :: TA790GXBE :: Driver
I would also go ahead and grab up all the other win 7 drivers provided by them while your at it.
No promise this will fix your speed issue, but it's a good idea for general system stability anyhow.
|My System Specs
|20 Feb 2011
Thanks for the suggestion.
Actually, I uninstalled Windows Security Essentials and it works fine now. I have no idea why that would be the case but for the last couple of days there would be these seemingly windows endorsed advertisements that would pop up from the little flag in the notification area by the clock and it seemed to have started when I installed "Windows Security Essentials" the other day... so I just uninstalled that.
|My System Specs
|20 Feb 2011
MSE has problems, but I haven't seen any complaints of it causing bsod's or system failures. Which I have seen with some of the other security apps. So I still tend to suggest it, even as I tell people it has it's faults.
Just about any level of security is going to lower performance in one way or another though.
Glad you are sorted for now.

8 Sneaky Ways Winter Ruins Your Health
Whether you love or hate the frigid weather, the darkest season brings its own set of health challenges. Here are the tips you need to stay healthy and happy when the mercury drops.
By Jennifer Conrad
Cold air can trigger asthma attacks
Experts believe it may have something to do with the dryness of the air, but asthma attacks are more common in winter. The cold or flu can also irritate the lungs and worsen asthma. Your best bet? Drink plenty of fluids and if you need to take a cold medicine, check with your doctor first since some can dry out the airways. Be extra vigilant about taking your regular meds, and be sure to have emergency medicine on hand.

What are the benefits of Water/Methanol injection?
- Greatly reduced EGTs - Decreases of 250 degrees F are common using a 50/50 water/methanol mix. Increased EGTs are an engine killer in today's performance diesel world.
- Low cost power - Where else can you get 50-100 HP for as low as $549? What other modification does all these things with one system?
- Greatly increased air charge densities - 3-5 psi boost increases are common with liquid intercooling.
- Decreased emissions - increased combustion efficiency means less particulate matter and NOX emissions.
- Fuel economy increase - increase your fuel economy up to 10%-15% (1-3 mpg).
- Great for towing - more power/cooler EGT's to haul the heaviest loads.
Why is Water/Methanol injection so effective on Diesels?
Unlike gasoline engines, the power in a turbo diesel is largely a function of fuel. The problem with continually adding fuel is that you create an over-fueling condition and reach a point where the exhaust gas temperatures become prohibitive (over 1300 degrees F). A 50/50 water/methanol mix will decrease EGT's approximately 200-300 degrees F while increasing power 50-100HP.
Power is increased through:
- Air charge cooling - Water/methanol usually lowers air charge temps over 200 degrees F. Low air temps makes denser air charge which provides more molecules of oxygen for combustion.
- Combustion conditioning - the methanol acts as a combustion catalyst as well as a cooling agent. Water vaporization inside the combustion chamber increases torque and power output through "the steam engine" effect.
Where else can you get this kind of power with cooler EGT's, reduced emissions, and more fuel economy?
Is this technology new for Turbo Diesel engines?
Water/methanol injection has been used extensively for years in high performance truck/tractor pullers. With the elevated boost levels required for peak power, water/methanol is a common means of cooling the intake charge and reducing exhaust gas temps. Also, truckers have used water injection for years to increase fuel mileage.
What power gains can I expect?
In diesel applications, no additional tuning is needed to maximize the benefits.
• A cooler, denser air charge is now delivered to the combustion chamber – this allows more diesel fuel to be burned than before.
• The methanol in the injection fluid burns as a fuel. This directly impacts power production.
• The water vaporizes in the combustion chamber, creating rapidly expanding steam which pushes down on the piston to create additional torque.
The extra power produced depends heavily on the concentration of methanol used and the volume injected. Typical power gains in 5.9L and larger applications with a 50% mixture of water/methanol are 50-100 WHP and a 100-150ft lb-ft increase in torque.
Can the Snow Performance system improve my fuel economy?
Yes. The MPG-MAX™ systems are designed to do just that. Both the diesel and gasoline MPG-MAX™ systems are specifically designed to inject a very small and precise amount of water/methanol under normal driving conditions such as accelerating away from a stop light or driving up a slight grade.
- Diesel MPG-MAX systems benefit from the methanol directly due to the fact that it combusts as a fuel, allowing for brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC) to be reduced.
- Typical gains are 10-15% better fuel economy or 1-3 MPG. In some cases and in independent testing, gains of up to 30% have been observed in diesels.
What fluid can I use in my system?
- Boost Juice®: This is the best fluid to use and is Snow Performance's 49% methanol, 51% water mixture that can be shipped to your door or picked up at a local dealer. (If you are using your washer reservoir as the injection tank, Boost Juice® is a great washer fluid – works as a de-icer!)
- Windshield Washer fluid: Only if it is blue in color and rated for -20 deg F. This means it is safe to use and made of about 30% methanol, 70% water. If it is another color or another temperature rating, do not use it. It should NOT have any extra additives or features.
- You can "spike" your Blue -20 Washer fluid to a 50% mixture by adding 3 12OZ yellow bottles of Heet® gas-line-antifreeze to every gallon of washer fluid.
- Mix your own: You just need to make sure the methanol is "neat" and contains no lubricants or other additives. We recommend a 50% mixture.
- Ethanol: It is not as good as methanol, but it can be used as a 2nd best option if you can't find methanol. It can also be mixed with water up to 50%.
- Do NOT use E85 or any other fluid with gasoline mixed in. It will destroy the fluid delivery part of your Boost Cooler® and instantly void the warranty.
- Isopropyl/Denatured Alcohols: These can be used, but are not as good as methanol. They have a lower BTU, or energy content, and a lower latent heat of vaporization (fancy way of saying how much heat they absorb) as well as a lower octane rating compared to methanol.
Why Methanol?
Methanol is an extremely clean fuel with an excellent cost/benefit ratio. Its high latent heat of vaporization also makes it an excellent air charge cooler which means a denser mixture and more horsepower. Because of these characteristics, it is a better fuel than ethanol or isopropanol although they will work in a pinch. It is extremely toxic and should be handled with rubber gloves in well ventilated areas only. Care should be taken to avoid skin contact.
Is Methanol Safe for my Diesel?
Methanol makes an excellent adjunct fuel. Because it has a cetane number of 4CN, it makes safe power without spiking cylinder pressures.
50/50 water/methanol is also very resistant to detonation. It is in fact used as a detonation suppresant in our gasoline systems. This allows for injection without worries about pre-ignition even in very high boost applications such as sled pulling and drag racing.
"combustion of neat methanol alone results in a cetane number of 4CN with reduced PM (smoke) and NOx. " see SAE Technical Paper #940326 "Combustion and Emissions Characteristics of Minimally Processed Methanol in a Diesel Engine"
Where can I purchase methanol?
- Snow Performance sells a 51/49 water/methanol mix as Boost Juice™ (see products). If this is used exclusively, Snow Performance can lifetime warranty a system so long as the free registration card is sent in soon after purchase.
- Methanol can generally be purchased where racing fuels are sold. Also, most gas line dryers like "Heet" are simply methanol. Suppliers of industrial chemicals can also supply methanol for a very reasonable price.
- -20 degree F rated, blue windsheild washer fluid is acceptable for use as well, and is availble at most service stations. Although some fluids rated to under -20 degrees F contain glycol and other copolymers, most windshield washer fluids are up to 40% methanol. Try to find one that displays "contains methanol" on the label and is good to -20 degrees F, with no additives or special ingredients and is blue in color.
- Methanol can be purchased on the web at www.worldwideracingfuels.com and www.hiperfuels.com.
- Additionally, many sprint car drivers and circle track and drag racers use methanol as a primary fuel. They often have methanol on hand and will even sell methanol that has been un-sealed for a long time at a very low price. Just be sure that the methanol has NO additives or lubricants (such as top lube), as they are not needed and can damage the pump.
Can I use pure methanol?
While all components of Snow Performance systems are designed to be able to handle pure methanol, it is not recommended for a number of reasons.
- Safety: Straight methanol is easy to ignite and burns with an almost invisible flame.
- Performance: Water absorbs twice as much heat as methanol in the intake and inside the combustion chamber. Water cannot be flash-ignited, so has almost an infinite octane number. In the government studies for WWII piston-powered aircraft, 50/50 water-methanol was found to be the best fluid to use for auxiliary fluid injection.
- Tuning and Engine reliability: Injecting 50/50 water-methanol will prevent over-injection. If too much is injected, it will quench the flame front and the engine will bog and lose power. If too much straight methanol is injected, this will not happen, as methanol is very forgiving of rich mixtures. This could instead lead to explosive backfires, cylinder wash, etc. which will not happen when 50% or more water is in the mixture.
How much range will a tank of Water/Methanol provide?
Diesels use more fluid than a gasoline application, and are in heavier load states more often.
- On a Stage 1 or 2 system, the factory washer fluid tank on a pickup truck (usually 1-1.5 gallons) will last a tank of fuel. This is for normal mixed driving with no towing and some aggressive acceleration.
- On a Stage 3 MPG MAX™ used for towing, the 7 gallon reservoir (included with the MPG MAX™) usually lasts 1-2 tanks of diesel fuel. In an un-loaded state, the 7 gallon reservoir will provide about 1000 miles of range. When towing, the 7 gallon usually lasts about 500 miles.
- A standard Stage 3 system will use about 1 gallon of liquid for every 75 miles of towing. Many Stage 3 users take advantage of their stock washer tank or the special universal fitting included in Stage 3 Snow Performance diesel kits with a custom large capacity tank. Be sure to use a solenoid upgrade for any reservoir mounted in the rear of the vehicle.
Where can I mount my reservoir and pump?
The pump needs to be within about 24" (hose length) of the reservoir, and as low or lower than the base of the reservoir. It is a "pusher" pump, not a "puller" pump.
- Engine bay: In the engine bay, the reservoir and pump can be placed almost anywhere, as long as they are not very close to exhaust heat, or in the path of debris from the road. Just be sure that the pump is at the same level or below the reservoir, and that the reservoir is not located higher than the nozzle. If the reservoir has to be higher than the nozzle, a solenoid upgrade (part number 40060) is needed to prevent gravity-feed.
- Trunk/Bed mounting: This is fine, but again, the pump needs to be close to the reservoir and gravity fed. Lengths of 20-25 ft of tubing to the nozzle are fine. We always recommend a #40060 solenoid for rear-reservoir mounting. A solenoid is included with the #40016 7 gallon reservoir.
I dont have any room in the engine bay for a reservoir, what are my options?
- Use the factory washer-fluid tank. A bulkhead fitting (PN# 40080) allows the use of the factory washer fluid tank as a reservoir. 50/50 water/methanol makes an excellent washer fluid. Stage one and two kits often utilize this strategy.
- Bed mounted reservoir. The reservoir and pump can be mounted in the back of the vehicle. 7 gallon reservoir upgrades (PN# 40016) feature extra tubing, a solenoid upgrade, and mounting brackets for bed mounting. We always recommend a #40060 solenoid for rear mounting with any reservoir/vehicle.
Where can I mount the nozzle?
- The best placement of the nozzles is in the area around the inlet to the intake manifold or virtually anywhere on the pipe leading from the intercooler to the intake manifold. The nozzles can be placed at any position on the tube, so long as they are pointing at a 90 degree angle to the direction of airflow. The nozzles can be placed in a series or right next to each other. There is enough heat and velocity and flow through the pipe under boost to absorb the water/methanol regardless of the nozzle positions relative to each other.
- Some intakes are pre-drilled for Snow Performance nozzles. As long as all of the airflow into the engine will pass by all nozzles used in the system, even distribution and cooling will result.
- Placement before the intercooler or turbo(s) is not recommended. Cooling is not improved and accumulation of fluid can result in some cases.

[B]Iraqi citizens tips help Soldiers seize terror suspects[/B]
BAGHDAD Iraqi Army and Coalition Forces, working together and independently, took 19 suspected terrorists into custody while conducting a series of combat operations in and around Baghdad Aug. 21.
Tips received from Iraqi citizens led to the detention of 12 of the 19 terror suspects.
Thirteen of the suspects were captured during five pre-dawn
raids carried out in west, central and south Baghdad. Iraqi Army and Task Force Baghdad Soldiers also seized a computer, two AK-47 assault rifles and improvised explosive device fuses during the raids.
The largest operation of the day was carried out at noon by Iraqi Army and
Task Force Baghdad Soldiers working together.
Acting on information provided by another Iraqi citizen, Soldiers searched an anti-Iraqi forces safe-house in south Baghdad and captured six suspects thought to be involved in terrorist activities.
At about the same time, Task Force Baghdad Soldiers manning a traffic control point stopped a vehicle at a busy intersection in east Baghdad. When the Soldiers searched the car, they found a shotgun and four pistols hidden inside.
The patrol detained the suspect and brought him into custody for questioning.
In other combat operations, a Task Force Baghdad unit patrolling in northwest Baghdad struck an IED. No one was injured in the attack, and when the Soldiers searched a nearby house they found an AK-47 assault rifle and a machine gun with 10 ammunition magazines. The unit also found binoculars, a periscope and 40 to 50 circuit boards which could have been used to detonate bombs. The patrol took the owner of the house into custody for questioning.

The onetime head of a company tied to Bruce Rauner and an associate — men the GOP candidate for governor Thursday called "rogue employees" — have been indicted in federal court in New Jersey on charges they stole millions of dollars in a sophisticated trading fraud.
Anthony Blumberg, 49, of New Jersey, and Craig Marshall, 47, of Bermuda worked for ConvergEx Global Markets Limited, a Bermuda-based broker and subsidiary to a firm Rauner's former private equity company helped found.
Blumberg and Marshall were indicted late Wednesday on criminal charges of securities fraud, wire fraud and conspiracy to commit securities and wire fraud. Blumberg — the CEO of ConvergEx Global Markets Limited — also faces a separate civil lawsuit filed by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The music has really crushed me this time. My WBF still finds that joy. He listens to it constantly. And all I hear are songs of men singing about these beautiful young women, or women singing about being burned.
Sadly, this has stolen far more than what most people want to believe or understand.
True Love: What I have for my beautiful children.
It fills in the gaps left by what we once were.
We did/do not watch television.
We would watch movies.
Now, movies suck. WH watches, or has movies running ALL THE TIME. I think, he is using this as a 'filler'. Cant talk while the movie is on, right?
For me, SHE is everywhere.
Every, young, tall, shy brunette. Every girl in her twenties.
Every love song, every park, every group of young people walking down the street, or sitting in a restaurant.
Every summer, affair season.
Last week, when I was paying for groceries. The clerk looked so much like OW, when she smiled and looked at me I choked.
I cried all the way out of the store, all the way home. WH, looked at me like I was a crazy person.
For him, its over.
For me, I feel as if I have been left out of the good stuff
.I want to be a lover, I want to be desired, I want someone to look at me with light and respect in their eyes
I want to feel good again. But, it is everywhere, like a stain. A filthy rancid oil, upon my skin.
If only I could wipe my mind clean, clear. I could breath?
I had my last baby 3.5 years ago. I don't notice a whole bunch of pregnant women around anymore. I don't notice every baby or all of the baby stuff around in shops or TV. I'm not so tuned to that frequency anymore, IYKWIM? Because it isn't something happening to me.
I still 'trigger' sometimes in positive ways when I do notice pregnancy or babies.
I imagine it is kind of the same with infidelity. I know it is everywhere but it always has been. We notice because it is happening to us (WS/BS alike).
Perhaps there will be several years where we'll notice and trigger regularly and then it waxes and wanes. It hits us harder sometimes than others. I don't think it ever goes away because, like the pregnant situation, it DID happen to us. I just think it starts happening less regularly and with less intensity.
I am D - I can now sing along to songs that used to have me weeping. I can watch shows with affairs and still think 'you bastards!' but it doesn't cut me like it used to. I'm not immune to it but my hide is thicker. I notice other parts of the storyline as well. Not just the infidelity. It took time for my skin to grow back and more time for that skin to start thickening.
I don't think it defines your life forever even if you do carry memories of it forever. Those memories aren't always so heavy or present. That has been my experience anyway.
I don't intend to minimise or compare a joyous event with a painful event. My analogy is meant to suggest maybe there is a frequency we are heavily tuned into for a time but that the signal isn't always so strong and deafening, even of it is always audible.

I used to run websites for a living.
I was responsible for the performance of those sites, and I was the de facto "web analytics guy" within my company. But I wasn't a full-time Web Analyst, and I had lots of other strategic and operational things to do.
Sound familiar?
When I did look at my web analytics, I often skimmed the information contained in my default "dashboard," and rarely dove into the real data unless someone came to me with a…

Last week, the online world was jolted with something we all thought was impossible: Amazon.com went down.
Outages happen all the time, but there is a scale at which this becomes amazingly rare and the amount of time of the outage was surprising. 30 minutes to two hours doesn't sound like a lot of time, but when you consider the scale of a business like Amazon.com, it has massive impact to the sales of the company. Advertising Age estimated that Amazon…
I have a friend who works in the online marketing department for a multi-million-dollar clothing retailer in Canada. Because they're still stuck in the dark ages and don't yet have an online store, the company's web marketing team consists of four people.
A week ago, my friend called me to ask, "What's the industry average time spent on a site?" Her boss asked her to find out because she was doing a presentation to the marketing team and would be attempting…

"Engagement" in the web analytics world is about as emotionally-charged a word as it might be with someone you've been dating for a week. At best, it's a conversation-killer. At worst, it's a nuclear warhead. Marketing and analytics experts have a hard enough time agreeing on what exactly engagement is, let alone finding the metric(s) to illustrate it.
But this confusion among smart people makes sense when you think about it. When was the last time you had a face-to-face conversation with…

After hitting on Take Rate, Bounce Rate, and Order Acquisition Ratio, it's time to turn our attention to a metric near and dear to our hearts here at Future Now: Conversion Rate.
The Conversion Rate (CR) tracks how well your website is achieving its main objective. This goal will vary depending on the type of site. An e-commerce site's main objective, of course, is to get people to buy product. Here's how a commerce site would calculate conversion:
CR = Number of Sales…

Now that we've taken a look at Take Rate and Bounce Rate, it's time to look at another very important metric: Order Acquisition Ratio. Simply put, this performance indicator is used to measure the effectiveness of your marketing.You'll need three numbers to calculate your order acquisition ratio:
1.) Visits to your site
2.) Number of orders placed
3.) Total marketing expenditures (which can include fixed costs associated with maintaining the site, but let's focus primarily on marketing expenses)*
With these variables in mind, we will…

For the second installment in this series, we'll cover bounce rate (aka "reject rate"). Simply put, bounce rate measures the amount of visitors that are landing on your site and immediately bouncing off of it.
To qualify as a bounce, analytics tools will typically take all visitors who only see one page and leave. Time may also be used to qualify a bounce (e.g., any visit under 10 seconds as a bounce).*
To calculate bounce rate, take the number of bounces and…

[This series will take an in-depth look at important web metrics, one-by-one. Enjoy!]
Key Performance Indicators or KPI's (define) are the critical Web metrics you should be monitoring to evaluate the effectiveness of your site. Key performance indicators may differ depending on the business topology (ecommerce/retail, lead generation, content or self-service/support), but understanding them broadly is critical to any organization's online success.
