Dagger GT - Concept auto science-fiction

Dagger GT - Concept auto science-fiction sau noua masina lui Batman ?



Dagger GT este o creatie suta la suta nebuna, fiind rodul anumitor minti bolnave dupa viteza, din diferite domenii.



S-a luat o mana de fosti ingineri in aerodinamica de la NASA, s-au adaugat cativa ingineri constructori de masini, premiati la diferite concursuri de gen, iar pentru ca totul sa aiba o finalitate, s-a apelat la designerul lui Saleen S7. Apoi, totul a fost reunit sub denumirea de TransStar Racing. Masina va fi fabricata din fibra de carbon si va avea un sasiu format dintr-un aliaj crom-otel.


Supercarul american este conceput drept cel mai nemilos rival pentru Bugatti Veyron, iar daca va intra in productie, asa cum este programat sa se intample in 2011, nu numai ca va provoca balena celor din Molsheim, dar chiar o va bate. Asta, pentru ca Dagger GT spera sa poata supara zeii cu nu mai putin de 2028 CP, 2.710 Nm, 483 km/h, viteza maxima si cu un demaraj de la 0 la 100 de km/h, realizabil in 1,5 secunde.

Gmail Priority Inbox


G-mail has introduced a new version called G-mail Priority In-box. This is a beta version released by Google and its functionality is really amazing. We all know that Google has the best spam feature and this priority In-box is another feather in their cap.

Now I am going to explain G-mail Priority In-box in layman's terms without any technical jargon. G-mail Priority In-box is like you have a personal secretary whose job is to filter all the mails in your in-box based on the importance and categorizing the mail.

Meniu Service Secret pentru BMW seria 3 - E90, E91, E92

Toate autoturismele BMW Seria 3 - E90, E91, E92 (si probabil E93) au un meniu secret in computerul de bord - Board Computer (BC)


Accesarea meniului secret
Exista doua modalitati pentru a accesa acest meniu sevice...

Modalitatea 1

Porneste motorul
Apasa si tine apasat butonul de reset pentru 10 seconds

Modalitatea 2

Apasa si tine apasat butonul reset.
Cu butonul reset tinut apasat, introdu keyfob in slot, si da drumul la butonul de reset.

Mai jos aveti instructiunile de citire si interpretare a datelor furnizate de autoturism, in limba engleza.
.
At this point the BC should display data in a "XX.YY" format. So if the BC displays "01.00", that means Main Menu 01, sub menu 00
To continue to navigate the menus, you need to use again the daytrip/odometer button (hereafter just called 'button')


While the display reads XX.__ press the button repeatedly to select the main menu option (XX)
when reaching the desired main menu option, wait for 2 second for the display to read XX.00, at this time pressing the button will select the sub menu (YY)
To go back to selection of a main menu (XX), press and hold the button for 2 seconds, until it shows XX.__ again.

To leave the hidden/service menus press and hold the button for 10 seconds, or remove the keyfob.

At this point, the available main menus are 01, 02 and 19. To access the remaining menus a code is required.
This code can be found under menu 01.00 and needs to be calculated as follows from the Chassis number
Say the number displayed is XX12345, you take the last 5 digits (12345 in this case), and add them all up, so 1+2+3+4+5=15. Meaning your unlock code is 15.

To enter the unlock code, go to main menu 19, and wait until it asks for the unlock code. Now press the button until it reads your unlock code (15 in our example), and the display will show 'lock: off'.
Now all menus are available

Cod secret pentru resetare raspuns acceleratie la BMW E46 ( un fel de "revenire la senzatia initiala" de demaraj puternic )

De-a lungul timpului, BMW E46 se adapteaza la stilul dumneavoastră de condus. Poate vă amintiţi zilele când maşina dumneavoastră era rapida şi şi demara brusc când de abia atingeai pedala? Ti-ai pierdut acel sentiment? Ei bine, nu e în totalitate vina ta. Este distractiv sa mergi repede, dar oare de ce masina ta nu mai are acelasi sprint? O puteţi schimba oarecum înapoi la o setarile implicite, dacă doriţi.


Iată paşii de urmat pentru un E46. Acestia sunt simpli şi uşor de urmat.

În primul rând, cu cheia scoasa din contact, stati în scaunul şoferului şi apoi introduceţi cheia.
Rotiţi cheia în poziţia "2". Poziţia "2" este acea pozitie înainte aceleia in care se porneste motorul.
Aşteptaţi 10 secunde şi apoi reveniti cu cheia la poziţia "0", care este poziţia iniţială.
După care aşteptaţi din nou 10 secunde şi apoi porniţi motorul.
Acum ati resetat masina in privnta modului de răspuns al acceleratiei, masina va demara iarasi ca la inceput, dar cu timpul se va adapta la modul dvs, de conducere pe care il veti adapta dupa aceasta resetare.

Deci, daca aveti in general un stil de conducere calm, de-a lungul timpului acceleratiei va deveni din nou lipsit de vlaga si va fi nevoie din nou de o astfel de resetare. Se recomandă ca acest lucru să fie efectuat la fiecare 3-6 luni dacă simţiţi nevoia ca masina dvs. sa fie iar "nervoasa".

De asemenea, legat tot de acest subiect ( adica Throttle Adaptation Reset ), pentru cei cu motoare M54 M54 MS43, am mai gasit urmatoarele:

For those with M54 M54 MS43 lumps under the bonnet with throttle drive by wire ( electronic ) and not by a cable there is a reset than can be made that may improve throttle response. This is typically done if a customer complains after an a new EDK is installed - allthough it should be done as part of the procedure anyway).

Its easy and quick just 20 seconds thats all !!

1 Place key in ignition and turn to detent 1 and count for 10 seconds ( only postion 1 do not start the engine. )
2.Turn key back to 0 postion and count for another 10 seconds
3.Now turn the key all the way to detent 3 to start the engine

Thats it your throttle is now reset. this can help to improve the cars throttle response. this little trick is always worth a go if you feel the car is a little sluggish or has been bought off someone who has just gone to the shops n back in thier BM. In theroy the throttle should now adapt slightly to your driving style

Si din alta sursa:

read this on e46 fanatics website titled THROTTLE ADAPTATION aimed at 1999 323i owners with m52u engine.
1.turn key to on position[not start] position,just before the starter turns over.
2.press accelerator pedal to the floor,with the key in the on position.
3.hold the pedal to the floor for 5 seconds,then turn back key to off position [dont remove key] then release accelerator pedal.
4.wait for 2 minutes for full alignment.
5.then drive off as normal.

PS: Nu stiu daca aceste coduri secrete functioneaza, nu am avut cum sa le testez, totusi le-am adus la cunostiinta dvs. fiindca sunt prezente pe multe forumuri din strainatate. Poate ca e doar o aberatie sau poate ca nu functioneaza decat la anumite modele de BMW E46, cu anumite motoare sau doar din anumiti ani de fabricatie... Chiar nu detin acest model de BMW ca sa pot face teste pe el, dar cred ca merita incercat, iar daca cineva reuseste si se simte o "revigorare" a demarajului masinii, poate sa posteze in mod civilizat la comentarii...

Coduri secrete BMW E36 ( Teste secrete bord )

Va prezentam modalitatea de a intra in modul test service, prin butoanele de la bord, fara a avea nevoie de mufa OBD sau alte instrumente tehnice, la modelele BMW E36 ( gen BMW 316 i ) , precum si semnificatia detaliata a rezultatelor acestor teste.



Cand tii apasat butonul de reset si cheia in pozitia 2 bordul intra in teste... la primul test iti apar cele 6 afisari dupa care acele se dau peste cap :

1st display: BMW PART NUMBER (6 digits)
2nd display: CODE NUMBER (5 digits) Internal Coding Plug #
3rd display: K NUMBER (4 digits)
4th display: CHASSIS NUMBER (5 digits) this is part of your VIN
5th display: SOFTWARE VERSION (3 digits)
6th display: REVISION INDEX (2 digits) Hardware #

Daca atunci cand iti apare testul 1 apesi pe butonul de reset o sa vezi ca trece la testul 2 si o sa-ti afiseze alta valoare... si tot asa pana la testul 6... de la testul 6 pana la testul 15 o sa iti apara asa "-------"
ca sa vezi se valori indica si la celelalte teste cand bordul intra in teste apasa pe butonul de reset pana ajungi la testul 14, iar la urmatoarea apasare sa tii mai mult si la testul 15 o sa-ti apara "L on" si cand apare "L oFF" ii dai drumul si apesi pe buton pe rand pana o sa ajungi la ce test vrei tu...



Semnificatia codurilor pentru fiecare test:

- test 1 cu cele 6 afisari indica date despre producator...

1st display: BMW PART NUMBER (6 digits)..................................numărul de identificare BMW
2nd display: CODE NUMBER (5 digits) Internal Coding Plug..........numărul de cod
3rd display: K NUMBER (4 digits)................................................codul K (4cifre)
4th display: CHASSIS NUMBER (5 digits) this is part of your VIN...seria de pe sasiu
5th display: SOFTWARE VERSION (3 digits).................................versiunea softului
6th display: REVISION INDEX (2 digits) Hardware........................indexul reviziilor

- test 2 se refera la tipul motorului...
poate fi 2 pt motoare cu 4 cilindri, 3 pt motoare cu 6 cilindri sau 4 pt motoare cu 8 cilindri;

- test 3 indica numarul de km parcursi de la ultima resetare a Oilservice inspection;

- test 4 undeva am gasit ca e varsta masinii in zile... in alta parte zice ca pt masinile din SUA nu are valoare, iar pt Euro reprezinta numarul de zile de la ultima inspectie (cred ca se refera la cea facuta pe bune la reprezentanta )

- test 5 se refera la un factor de evaluare pt viteza si temperatura motorului... afiseaza n= 0 sau 1 pt viteza si t=0 sau 1 pt temperetura....

NOTĂ: "n0" înseamnă că aţi atins pragul maxim de turaţie al motorului şi "t1" înseamnă ca ai supraîncălzit motorul. Daca iti afiseaza aceste valori, testul respectiv este de fals din cauza problemelor legate de software.

- test 6 se refera la nivelul carburantului din rezervor si la temperatura lichidului de racire... indica niste valori in format hexazecimal care trebuie interpretat astfel:
pt carburant
A (empty)--------- > 0d
End of reserve--- > 37
B------------------- > 54
C------------------- > 90
D------------------ > c4
E (full)-----------> f0

pt temperatura lichidului de racire...
A----------------------> ce
B----------------------> 6d
C----------------------> 5c
D (center)----------> 4f-23
E-----------------------> 1e
F-----------------------> 18

- test 7 afisarea digitala a turatiei motorului;



- test 8 reprezinta viteza de deplasare curenta in km/h;

- test 9 se refera la numarul total de km ai masinii inregistati de EEPROM... daca citesti cu atentie mai jos iti poti da seama daca a fost dat inapoi kilometrajul

"This test step will be used if the manipulation dot is illuminated in the cluster display. This display will show the component with the lower mileage. For example:
Display of 012654 l indicates that the mileage in the internal EEPROM is lower than the mileage stored in the coding plug.
Display of 000325 E indicates that the mileage in external coding plug is lower then the total mileage stored in the internal EEPROM.
Pressing the reset button for 4 seconds will over write the lower mileage with the higher mileage and cancel the manipulation dot. The SI data will also be transferred at the same time."

- test 10 indica daca primeste semnal... de la stanga catre dreapta de la urmatoarele:
0=low 1=high
prima cifra - belt contact, seat belt fastened = 0
a 2a cifra - ignition lock contact, key inserted = 0
a 3a cifra - door contact, door open = 0
a 4a cifra - clock button pressed = 0
a 5a cifra - SI reset = 0, for reset = 0
a 6a cifra - EGS transmission failure = 0

- test 11 se refera la semnalul de iesire pentru (de la stanga la dreapta)
1st - Gong output
2nd - Brake warning lamp
3rd - Low fuel warning lamp
4th - EGA lamp
5th - seat belt lamp
6th - manipulation dot

- test 12 nu este folosit;

- test 13 se refera la codul tarii;

- test 14 se refera lasoftware reset...
"The reset must be carried out if any faults are present that are not plausible before any components are replaced. After the reset, the system will exit the TEST mode and the lock will be reactived"

- test 15 daca tii apasat minim 5 secunde apare "L on" si apoi "oFF" asftel se deblocheaza si poti sa vezi valorile testelor de la 5 la 14...

SUCCES!!!



PS: Alte informatii ( in limba engleza ) privind aceste coduri secrete BMW E36, gasiti mai jos.

E36 On-BoardComputer (OBC) Hidden Codes and Tests

Varianta 1

This works on all instrument clusters 1992-1999 E36 - 4
door/coupe/convertible/M3.

Step 1. Press and hold the mileage reset button.

Step 2. Put key into ignition switch and turn to KLR (Ignition switch

position #1)

Your LCD display will show something like this "tESt 01"

Step 3. Once "tESt 01" is shown, let go of reset button and the IC

(Instrument Cluster) will go through

some test cycles. Numbers will be shown and here's what they mean:

1st display: BMW PART NUMBER (6 digits)

2nd display: CODE NUMBER (5 digits) Internal Coding Plug #

3rd display: K NUMBER (4 digits)

4th display: CHASSIS NUMBER (5 digits) this is part of your VIN

5th display: SOFTWARE VERSION (3 digits)

6th display: REVISION INDEX (2 digits) Hardware #

After all 6 displays are finished, an analog gauge test will be performed.

The self-test is canceled by switching the ignition off or to KL-15
(ignition

switch position 2)

IC (instrument cluster) tests 1-15

1995 - 1998 (99) 318ti

1996 - 2000? Z3

1997 - 1999 E36 4dr/coupe/convertible/M3

NOTE:

*Test functions 1-4 are unlocked tests and can be called up at any time for

display.

*Test functions 5-14 are locked and require unlocking the test mode before

they can be displayed.

*Test functions 2-14 can be selected at any time when the cluster is

unlocked, even when vehicle is moving.

*Test function 15 is the lock/unlock function.

Step 1: Press and hold the mileage reset button.

Step 2: Put key into ignition switch and turn to KLR (Ignition switch

position #1)

Your LCD display will show something like this "tESt 01"

Step 3: You will need to unlock the test function first so when the LCD

Display shows "tESt 01," press the reset button till you get to "tESt 15."

Once you're on test 15 press, and hold the reset button for a few seconds

until it displays "off." Now you can cycle through the test features. Here

they are as they follow:

Test 1: Instrument self test

Test 2: Engine Data - This display is an "engine factor" value that is
stored

in the coding plug. The instrument cluster processor uses this factor in

addition to the "TD" signal from the DME control module to process and

display tachometer RPM based on the engine installed. For EXAMPLE:

*ENGINE FACTOR 2 = 4 CYLINDER

*ENGINE FACTOR 3 = 6 CYLINDER

*ENGINE FACTOR 4 = 8 CYLINDER

Test 3: SI elapsed distance - the total mileage in kilometer since the last

reset. Which service is due at the next inspection (OIL SERVICE or
INSPECTION)

Test 4: SI elapsed days - no value for US vehicles. Relates to Euro annual

inspections.

Test 5: SI evaluation factor - for engine speed and temp. thresholds being

passed.

Display: n = 0 or 1. Engine speed (over-rev)

t = 0 or 1. Engine temp.

NOTE: "n0" means that you hit the maximum threshold for engine speed and
"t1"

means you overheated the engine. I found out from my instructor that this

test 5 is false due to software related problems.

Test 6: Fuel Level and coolant temp. - Display of hexadecimal codes in

relation to gauge position.

Fuel gauge ----> Hex value

A (empty)---------> 0d

End of reserve---> 37

B-------------------> 54

C-------------------> 90

D------------------> c4

E (full)-----------> f0

Engine temp. ----- Hex Value

A----------------------> ce

B----------------------> 6d

C----------------------> 5c

D (center)----------> 4f-23

E-----------------------> 1e

F-----------------------> 18

Test 7: Engine speed (Digital Tach)- display of current engine speed

Test 8: Road speed - display of current road speed in km/h

Test 9 Distance reading - this allows the total stored mileage to be updated

if one of the storage components has to be replaced. This test step will be

used if the manipulation dot is illuminated in the cluster display. This

display will show the component with the lower mileage. For example:

Display of 012654 l indicates that the mileage in the internal EEPROM is

lower than the mileage stored in the coding plug.

Display of 000325 E indicates that the mileage in external coding plug is

lower then the total mileage stored in the internal EEPROM.

Pressing the reset button for 4 seconds will over write the lower mileage

with the higher mileage and cancel the manipulation dot. The SI data will

also be transferred at the same time.

Test 10: Status bits (input signals) - the status of digital inputs to the

cluster are displayed as 0 or 1.

Display: 0 = input low, 1 = input high.

_ _ _ _ _ _ <--- Mileage display...6 digits left to right

1st - belt contact, seat belt fastened = 0

2nd - ignition lock contact, key inserted = 0

3rd - door contact, door open = 0

4th - clock button pressed = 0

5th - SI reset = 0, for reset = 0

6th - EGS transmission failure = 0

Test 11: Status Bits (output signals) - the status of digital outputs is

displayed.

Display: 0 = output inactive, 1 = output active

_ _ _ _ _ _ <--- Mileage display...6 digits left to right

1st - Gong output

2nd - Brake warning lamp

3rd - Low fuel warning lamp

4th - EGA lamp

5th - seat belt lamp

6th - manipulation dot

Test 12: not used

Test 13: Country code of cluster - the display indicates the country version

of the cluster. This cannot be

changed in the workshop. Display: USA 02

Test 14: Software Reset - The reset must be carried out if any faults are

present that are not plausible before any components are replaced. After the

reset, the system will exit the TEST mode and the lock

will be reactived.

E36 On-BoardComputer (OBC) Hidden Codes and Tests

Thereare many interesting functions available on the E36 OBC that are not documentedin the owner's manual, including changing the languageof the display. The procedures described here work on my '97 328iC, which hasthe upgraded OBC - they may work on other models of similar vintage. There aresome links at the bottom of the page for information on other OBCs, and forsetting the language if you don't have the OBC.



Contents:

· Programming the Display Order

· Accessing Data

· Unlock the Display

· Test Codes

· Setting the Country Code



Programming the OBC to Display Contents in a Desired Order

Whenyou repeatedly press in on the turn signal stalk, the OBC display cycles throughthe various information types that it has in memory. The default sequence is:CONSUM1, CONSUM2, EXT. TEMP, SPEED, LIMIT, DIST and TIMER. If you want tochange the display order, use the following procedure:

Pressin and hold the turn stalk for about 5 seconds. The OBC display will change to Prog 1. Press the buttoncorresponding to the first function you would like to have displayed in thesequence. For example, if you would like the outside temperature to bedisplayed first, press the TEMP button. The display will thenchange to Prog2. Continue pressing the OBC buttons in the order you want, upthrough nine entries. You don't have to enter all nine - if you would like thedisplay to cycle only between TEMP and RANGE, simply enter those two items asProg 1 and Prog 2. When finished, press the SET/RES button tostore the sequence in memory.

Torevert to the default order, simply press SET/RES as soon as Prog 1 is displayed.



Accessing Data in the OBC

TheOBC contains a lot of data, and displays the data in a manner determined by thecountry code that is stored in it. The technique to access this data is asfollows:

Press the 1000 and 10 keys simultaneously. You should see Test-Nr.: appear in the display.
The table below lists the available test codes that are available. Enter a test code number, using the number keys, followed by the SET/RES key. However, to access codes other than 1, 10, 14, 19, and 21, you have to first unlock the OBC, using the procedure described below.
Read the results.
For test numbers 10 and 11, enter a new value (if desired) and press SET/RES.
Return to the normal display functions by pressing CHECK or any other key.


Unlock the Display.

Mostof the test sequences require you to first unlock the display before. Entertest code 19 using the above procedure. The display should read LOCK:ON. Then enter an unlocking code consisting of the sum of the currentmonth plus date (for example, if today is July 11, enter 18). Then press SET/RES, and the OBC is nowunlocked.



TestCodes. Following is a listing of the available tests,along with with my notes as to what I think each test means. Note that thedisplay uses European conventions for decimals (i.e., the number 61,7 is 61.7for us Americans). You will see that I don't have good explanations for severalof these test codes -- if you have any information that can help me make thistable more complete, please email me at Ceno@BMWplanet.com

Setting the Country Code.

If your OBC suddenly starts displaying everythingin German, and you would like to put it back to English, use test sequencenumber 10. Once you're into test number 10, press the 1 key several times, andyou'll see the display cycle through various country options. For example, 0is for Germany (the display reads LAND:0 D * - I assume D stands for Deutschland). As you cycle through theoptions, you'll see choices for the Great Britain, USA, France, Canada, etc.Once the display is on the country you want, press the SET/RES key to store yourchoice into memory -- for US drivers the display should be set to LAND: 2 USA * . Then press the CHECK key, and the displaywill reflect the units of the country you've chosen.





Instrument Panel Tests

Withthe engine off, press and hold the trip mileage reset button, and then turn thekey to accessory position 2 (OBC and radio come on). The LED display on theinstrument panel (which normally is the odometer) will change to tESt01 and then will begin to cycle through several displays. Releasethe button. The display will continue to cycle through several displays. Here'sthe data my car displays:

GP de Cingapura 2010 - Honestamente Alonso

"Vem, densa noite!
E cobre-te no mais espesso fumo do inferno,
Para que minha aguda faca não veja a ferida que faz;
Nem o céu espie através do manto da treva
Para gritar: pára, pára!"

As palavras acima foram tiradas de Macbeth, mas poderiam descrever fielmente as manobras de Alonso e da Renault para conquistar, em 2008, a vitória no GP de Cingapura - não custa lembrar, a primeira corrida noturna da história da Fórmula 1.

Ninguém jamais interpretou Macbeth tão bem quanto Fernando Alonso na história da Fórmula 1. E se, há dois anos, a noite escondeu a forma escusa com que o seu êxito foi obtido, hoje ela revelou a outra faceta de sua personalidade: o talento.

O espanhol largou na frente e terminou à frente, com - e apesar de - um equipamento relativamente inferior à Red Bull de Vettel, que o seguiu como uma sombra (existem sombras à noite?) durante as quase duas horas de corrida.

A única sombra da qual Alonso não pôde se desvencilhar foi a daquele triunfo de dois anos antes, que o marcará para sempre, não importa o que ele faça, nas ruas de Marina Bay.

Agora ele está na disputa pelo título, embora tenha obtido alguns pontos de maneira, no mínimo, questionável.

De resto, como já disse Flavio Gomes, foi uma corrida mais interessante do que boa. Boas recuperações de Massa e Webber, boas ultrapassagens de Kubica, erros em série de Schumacher e apenas um, mas crucial, de Hamilton.

Nos últimos tempos, as corridas recentes tentam se moldar à imagem e semelhança da Mônaco. Não é à toa que as pistas mais novas estão quase sempre á beira do mar: Yas Marina, Valência e ainda esse novo autódromo coreano. Aparentemente, Marina Bay parece ter alcançado o posto de imitação "mais verdadeira" da prova monegasca - um circuito exigente, respeitado, envolto em um distinto skyline. É uma das maiores concentrações anuais de CEOs no paddock. Só faltaram as celebridades...

A Lotus (Lotus?) de volta às categorias de base

Imagino como se sentem radiantes os fãs da Lotus no momento: como se não bastasse o "renascimento" da equipe este ano, vão ganhar duas! Mais do que isso - duas Lotus malaias!

Isso porque, como Joe Saward revelou ontem, e o blog Continental Circus explica melhor em português, a ART Grand Prix, competentíssima equipe europeia que tem Nicolas Todt como um de seus sócios, vai correr sob o nome Lotus-ART na GP2 e GP3, no ano que vem.

Não se trata, no entanto, de uma parceria com o atual dono da nova Lotus, Tony Fernandes - este vai se lançar na GP2 com outra equipe, a Air Asia. A Lotus Cars, que será parceira da ART, pertence à estatal malaia Proton, que não tem nada a ver com Fernandes.

A questão é que Colin Chapman, fundador da Lotus Cars e do Team Lotus, sempre tratou das empresas em separado, para que uma não levasse a outra em caso de falência. Agora, as duas renascem, ao mesmo tempo, na GP2.

Não deixa de ser interessante a presença da marca numa categoria de base importante. Mais ainda porque não é novidade: até meados dos anos 70, a Lotus tinha carros inscritos na Fórmula 2 - sim, a categoria em que Jim Clark morreu, e sim, a bordo de uma Lotus.

Para registrar, ilustro o post com duas fotos. A de cima retrata o próprio Clark, durante o GP de Pau de 1965, que ele, por sinal, venceu. O modelo que aparece, meio incompleto, na imagem, é o 35, equipado com um motor Cosworth SCA (a marca da Costin e Duckworth já disputava, com sucesso, outras categorias antes de entrar na Fórmula 1, em 1967).

Abaixo, temos ninguém menos que Emerson Fittipaldi, no ano de seu primeiro campeonato mundial, 1972. Ele disputa uma prova em Hockenheim, pomposamente intitulada V Prêmio de Baden-Württemberg e Hessen. Emerson fez a pole, mas não chegou a completar o percurso.

Daca ai masina mai tare ca Loganu, nu mai primesti subventia la caldura

Persoanele care deţin şi alte locuinţe în afara celei de domiciliu, precum case de vacanţă,sau maşini cu o capacitate cilindrică de peste 1.600 cmc nu vor mai primi ajutoare de încălzire, evaluările indicând că peste 10% dintre cele 3,2 milioane familii beneficiare ar urma să nu mai fie subvenţionate.



Noile reguli de acordare a ajutoarelor de încălzire vor fi aplicate începând cu sezonul de iarnă 2010-2011, a decis Guvernul în şedinţa de luni.

Asadar, o sa ne incalzim la motorul masinii ... :)

Alfa Romeo - mai sexy ca niciodata

Când spui la Alfa Romeo, te pregăteşti să mergi la Salonul Auto Geneva 2010 ca la o expoziţie de artă şi sculptură. Iar maşinile Alfa Romeo, fie ele de serie sau concepte, au încântat publicul.



La Salonul Auto Geneva 2010, compania italiană a avut o premieră mondială importantă pentru strategia grupului Fiat: Alfa Romeo Giuliettaeste noua compactă care vrea să-şi facă o clientelă aparte, fiind bazată tehnic pe platforma lui Fiat Bravo. Numele compactei celebrează 100 de ani de existenţă ai Alfa Romeo, iar Giulietta va fi folosită ca bază pentru viitoare modele Chrysler şi Dodge.



Alfa Romeo are colaborări de lungă durată cu Pininfarina sau Bertone, cele mai cunoscute case de design auto italiene. La Geneva 2010, ambele studiouri au oferit publicului concepte foarte atractive şi reuşite.

Pininfarina 2uettottanta este un roadster savuros, care prefigurează un viitor urmaş al lui Alfa Romeo Spyder - fiind, de altfel, şi un cadou, la împlinirea a 80 de ani de existenţă ai firmei Pininfarina. Bertone Pandion, în schimb, este un coupe ravisant, conceput pe baza lui Alfa Romeo 8C, dar care prefigurează câteva linii de design ale viitoarei berline Alfa Romeo 159.

Noua taxa auto de la 1 februarie 2011

Prima informaţie importantă despre taxa auto 2011 este că intră la taxare şi automobilele echipate cu catalizator Euro5. Erau scutite până acum, indiferent de cilindree.

Logica din spatele deciziei este că deja aproape toate maşinile noi sunt echipate Euro5, iar, de la începutul anului viitor, conform legislaţiei româneşti şi europene, reprezentanţele auto nu mai au dreptul de a vinde autovehicule cu 0 km, noi, decât Euro5.

Aşadar nu ar mai avea ce taxa din vânzările de maşini noi, ci doar pe zona de maşini second hand. Asta ar fi o discriminare prea uşor de combătut în instanţă. Unde mai pui că s-ar pierde zeci si sute de milioane de euro la buget din taxare, lucrul pe care nu şi-l permite guvernul într-o perioadă de recesiune.


Partea dureroasă abia acum vine.

În cazul maşinilor Euro4, de acum doar second hand, treaba devine usturătoare. De la doar o 100-200 euro pentru motorizările mici, taxa va sări spre 1.000. Pentru motoare mai mari, puneţi câteva sute şi apoi mii.

Ca principiu, grila de taxare degradează maşinile Euro4 la nivelul celor care Euro3 de acum. Adică taxa plătită pentru un motor Euro3 de 2.000 cmc se va plăti de la anul pentru un Euro4 de 2.000 cmc. La fel în cazul maşinilor Euro3 care vor avea taxe ca la Euro2 şi tot aşa.

Rămân scutite hibridele de toate cilindreele şi maşinile electrice. Pe ultimele nu le-am văzut încă zumzăind pe la noi, dar le aştept cu interes. Problema este că la hibride nu văd cu ce ajută mediul motoare V8 de 4-5.000 cmc cuplate la un mic hibrid, aşa cum sunt pe câteva SUV-uri şi limuzine premium puternice.

Aş înţelege rostul derogării în cazul unei Toyota Prius sau a unei Honda Civic Hybrid cu motorizări sub 2.000 de cmc. Poate ia cineva aminte la Mediu.

Ministrul vorbea deasemenea despre o idee îndrăzneaţă de a premia cumpărătorii de hibride sau maşini electrice cu anumite sume. Adică, dacă îţi iei un automobil eco, primeşti spre exemplu o mie, două de euro de la stat. E o chestiune la care şi cei de la Finanţe trebuie să pună umărul şi să îi înţeleagă utilitatea ca să o aprobe.

Modelul funcţionează deja cu succes în Franţa. Ce se ia de la cei cu motoare având norme de poluare inferioare, este oferit ca bonus celor mai ecologişti.

Ca să tragem linie, maşinile mai vechi de 10 ani redevin inaccesibile, iar cele mai vechi de patru ani, foarte scumpe. Aşadar, eu mi-aş face bine calculele dacă aş fi în locul unui român cu ceva bani la ciorap, care vrea o maşină second hand.

Mai bine în toamna asta, dacă vrei din străinătate. De la anul, doar de pe la noi. Desigur, dacă nu cumva îi mai îmbogăţim şi mai tare pe bulgari cu câte 500 de euro pentru un rând de plăcuţe fără taxă, indiferent de categoria de poluare. Ei nu au industrie auto de protejat şi sunt suficient de săraci încât să îşi permită luxul de a merge lent cu gioarse obosite.

Revin la ce am mai spus şi în alte ocazii. Şi această taxă auto va rămâne ilegală şi imorală pentru că nu va afecta decât o parte dintre automobilişti. Peste două milioane de Dacii vechi obosite, adică jumătate din parcul auto naţional, non-euro, pot continua la fel de bine să polueze chiar şi când stau, sau mai ales atunci.

Un Euro3 este de 20 de ori mai puţin toxic decât o Dacie din 1995. Soluţia corectă este impozitarea de poluare anuală. Numai aşa îi "motivăm" pe cei cu maşini vechi să nu le păstreze ca să le lase moştenire.

BMW Seria 6 Concept

Noua generaţie a coupeului BMW Seria 6 ne este arătat în primele imagini, sub forma unui concept care va fi expus în premieră mondială la Salonul Auto Paris 2010. Cât la sută din acest concept credeţi că se va regăsi în maşina de serie?



Probabil majoritatea dintre voi veţi răspunde că noua generaţie BMW Seria 6 va arăta 99% la fel cu acest concept de la Salonul Auto Paris 2010. Şi nu veţi greşi deloc, aş adăuga. O maşină îndelung aşteptată, noul BMW Seria 6 nu este de natură să rezerve surprize, fiind clar versiunea coupe derivată din BMW Seria 5. Stilul provocator şi nonconformist din era Bangle a lăsat locul unuia sobru, serios, Seria 6 respirând, dacă vreţi, un dinamism stilat.



Farurile şi grila cu cei doi "rinichi" nu mai au dimensiuni şi forme revoluţionare, dar reuşesc să îi confere maşinii acel "bot de rechin" specific coupe-urilor BMW. Spatele maşinii mizează mult pe liniile orizontale, creând o impresie de lăţime foarte mare, în timp ce agresivitatea sportivă pare mai domolită

De remarcat evacuările foarte discret integrate în designul general, un semn al încercării celor de la BMW de a se detaşa de imaginea de forţă brută şi, implicit, de maşini poluante. Per ansamblu, BMW Seria 6 are o siluetă elegantă, muchia centrală şi roţile cu jante de mari dimensiuni (probabil chiar de 22") ducându-te cu gândul exact la ce trebuie: un Grand Tourism luxos şi dinamic.



Interiorul maşinii este, cum altfel, o evoluţie în aceeaşi temă stilistică pe care o regăsim şi la Seria 5, dar, în cazul conceptului Seria 6, delimitarea cockpitului şoferului este mai clară. Un fel de reîntoarcere la origini, dar cu accent pe simplitatea vizuală, care, de fapt, ascunde cele mai noi tehnologii şi gadgeturi electronice.

Rămâne de văzut dacă maşina de serie va prelua ideea ideea interesantă a pedalierului sau tapiţeria maron de pe bord şi volan - este de aşteptat ca aceste detalii să facă parte dintr-un pachet special de individualizare a maşinii.

Dream home will no more be your dream

Dream house
Hi in today’s post I thought I would like to discuss about a non technical topic which is not related to this site’s subject but it is very useful for people who are looking for purchasing a new house. The most important thing is to choose a realtor who understands your needs completely and helps you to find your dream home. Choosing the right realtor is not an easy job and in a lighter way it is as tough as choosing your life partner. Well don’t panic I will give you some expert advice and what are all the questions you need to ask in order to find the best realtor.

Some of the expert advice from a realtor are as follows.
Get the knowledge about your realtor and his years of experience in this field. Knowledge in this sense I meant you should know about their specialization is on buying or selling or on both. It is very hard to find a realtor who is expert in both but well if you find one such person half of your job is done. Actually I had a hard time searching for the right person until I found DRodio Real Estate experts who serve their customers and help them to find what they want.

Nokia X2 price is Rs. 6,579 in India

Nokia X2

Nokia X2 which supposed to be released in India 3 months back is finally released now. The phone was initially priced at Rs. 5999 but now Nokia as revised the price to 6,579.Nokia X2 is a lower end model to Nokia X3 and this phone is mainly for music lovers and people who are interested in photography. The phone has 5 Megapixel camera and this is a big highlight since this phone is a mid range phone and is positioned below Nokia X3, while in Nokia X3 you have only 3.2 MegaPixel camera.

Nokia X2 Model
Nokia X2 runs on S40 Operating system.Bluetooth 2.1, 3.5mm headset jack, FM radio and dual speakers. The phone also has microSD support. LED flash is also available in the phone. The only problem some people have reported is that Nokia X2 will hang a lot.I feel the price for the phone is slightly higher since it was first released at 5000 while the features are too good so worth a try.

O nome de la Rosa

No início do ano, eu havia admitido, aqui, não saber por que razão Peter Sauber havia contratado Pedro de la Rosa para ser piloto titular em 2010. Não demorou muito até o motivo aparecer claramente: numa equipe que tentava se reerguer, era necessário um piloto experiente para desenvolver o carro ao longo do ano em um dos cockpits.

Em mais de uma década na Fórmula 1, de la Rosa ostenta apenas 85 GPs. Não mais que quatro temporadas completas, duas na Arrows e duas na Jaguar. Mas passou boa parte destes anos à margem como piloto de teste da McLaren, o que o credenciava para trabalhar em Hinwill em 2010.

Eis que Nick Heidfeld, mais rápido, mais experiente e mais credenciado, surgiu no mercado de pilotos, louco para retornar a um cockpit, jogando assim de la Rosa para a já extensa lista de espanhóis desempregados.

Curiosas são as semelhanças entre e estreia e despedida (foto, até que se diga o contrário) do piloto na Fórmula 1. Em ambos os casos, ele tinha um companheiro de equipe japonês: Tora Takagi e Kamui Kobayashi. Em ambos os casos, um patrocinador espanhol: Um logotipo enorme da Repsol e outro mas discreto, da filial ibérica da Burger King. Em nenhuma das situações ele chamou lá muita atenção para si.

Cartazes - GP de Cingapura, 2010

Não é comum aparecer um cartaz contemporâneo digno de nota por aí; mas quando surge, é preciso mencioná-lo. O do GP de Cingapura, a ocorrer na semana que vem, é um deles.

Talvez não seja o único - frequentemente, a FOM produz seus próprios cartazes, deixando a cargo dos promotores do evento conceberem ou não o seu próprio. Claramente, este não é da FOM.

Digitalmente, elementos do 'skyline' da cidade-sede do GP foram dispostos de forma a criar, sob um determinado ponto de vista, a silhueta de um monoposto. A composição deve ter exigido um trabalho beneditino de "photoshopagem", mas não nos interessa aqui as dificuldades técnicas, e sim a mensagem que a obra quer passar.

E a mensagem é muito clara: a de que este não um simples evento para o local, mas que Cingapura realmente vive esta corrida. Os que já presenciaram a prova, em geral, confirmam esta afirmação. É uma corrida de rua mais parecida com Mônaco, e menos com Valência (à qual os valencianos parecem ignorar solenemente).

Em São Paulo, cidade que abriga um número de habitantes equivalente à de alguns países, é fácil fazer com que o GP do Brasil passe despercebido. Há outros eventos acontecendo, muito a fazer, outros lugares a ir, longe do congestionamento tradicionalmente formado no entorno do longínquo autódromo de Interlagos. Em outubro, por exemplo, além do GP, acontece também a Mostra de Cinema, que recebe uma infinidade de filmes, concentrados principalmente nas salas do circuito avenida Paulista.

Cingapura, por sua vez, possui metade da população de São Paulo. A corrida não é realizada num subúrbio de difícil acesso, mas entre os pontos turísticos do Downtwn Core. Eis o porquê de este ser um cartaz maravilhoso: os prédios de São Paulo jamais aceitariam assumir a forma de um carro de Fórmula 1.

Importance of Flowchart

Process-Flowchart image

An algorithm is a step-by-step instructions in a sequence written in normal English. Whether these sequences can be represented diagrammatically? The answer is yes.

1. A flowchart is used to represent the sequence of operations to be performed in a pictorial form.

2. In general, a flowchart can be defined as pictorial representation of an algorithm that follows the sequence of operations.

3. Flowchart provides several symbols that correspond to different operations. For example, condition can be specified with a special symbol, output with separate symbol….etc.


NEED FOR FLOW CHART

1. As mentioned in the previous section, flowchart provides several symbols to specify the instructions.

2. Once a flowchart is drawn for a given requirements, the logic for the program can be made easy.

3. It is easy for the third party (other than programmer) to understand the logic.

4. Once the flowchart is drawn, it is very easy to implement the concept using programming languages.

Monza imaterial

Quando, na sexta-feira, Felipe Massa saiu da Parabolica a toda velocidade, em plena brita, apenas alguma sorte e muita perícia fizeram-no voltar ileso, e com o carro imprestável, de volta ao asfalto.

Mas ele foi a exceção, já que a imensa maior parte das saídas de pista que aconteceram GP da Itália foram situadas nas chicanes - ou, mais propriamente, primeira e segunda chicanes.

Hulkenberg perde o ponto de freada enquanto disputa a posição? Passe a chicane e devolva (ou não) a posição alguns metros à frente. Sakon Yamamoto (foto) vê os líderes afoitos pelo retrovisor? Simples, passe reto na chicane e deixe os mais rápidos seguirem seu curso.

O traçado de Monza não mudou muito de há uma década para cá. Porém, como Heidegger muito bem apontou, um espaço só pode ser definido por aquilo que o delimita: e o entorno da pista italiana, este sim sofreu alterações relevantes.

Pois até os anos 90, as áreas de escape das chicanes não eram um mero prolongamento do asfalto com sinaizinhos de trânsito. Elas estavam cheias de brita. Se o piloto escapasse durante uma disputa (como Hulkenberg o fez mais de uma vez), o menor dos problemas dele seria contornar cones e pensar em devolver a posição uma curva à frente: com sorte sua corrida não terminaria ali mesmo.

Em outras palavras, a punição por não percorrer o traçado, há mais ou menos dez anos, era física - haveria brita até na orelha do infrator, sua perda de velocidade seria decorrente do atrito entre a área de escape e o carro, que, se saísse de lá, poderia sair danificado. Hoje, a punição é virtual - contorna-se um segundo traçado e, dependendo do julgamento de uma instância judicial, que aqui chamamos de 'Race Control', a posição relativa na pista é revertida à que existia antes da infração.

AS CHICANES E AS COISAS
Por ora, talvez seja melhor nos afastarmos dos juízos de valor. Dessa forma, ao invés de dizer que Monza perdeu 'emoção' na última década, digamos apenas que ela perdeu 'materialidade'.

Não totalmente, claro: Hamilton que o diga, em suas visitas frequentes à área de escape da di Lesmo, e até mesmo Massa, supracitado. Mas Monza, por estar no calendário mundial há 60 anos, serve como bom termômetro das mudanças do automobilismo. E muitas partes de seu traçado se tornaram claramente imateriais, alterando, assim, a dinâmica de uma prova.

Estamos falando de um processo consolidado de 'imaterialização', portanto, dos autódromos em geral, que, nos GPs da Itália, devido ao peso histórico, costuma se manifestar de forma mais evidente.

A NESPRESSALIZAÇÃO DO MUNDO
O mais importante a se notar é que a imaterialização não é um fenômeno exclusivo da Fórmula 1.

Alguém aqui se lembra de como usávamos a internet dez anos atrás? Internet discada, alguns minutos ao dia. Como era preciso buscar informações em livros, nossos dedos precisavam do contato com o papel para que a gente pudesse obter conhecimento. Hoje, o Gooogle nos dá mais e melhor do que qualquer enciclopédia. Em uma tela completamente virtual.

Há três, vinte, trinta anos, se quiséssemos tomar um café em casa, se fazia necessário abrir a embalagem com o pó (o que costumava soltar um cheiro agradabilíssimo), esquentar a água, dobrar um pedaço de papel, controlar o fluxo da água fervente... enfim, havia muitas 'coisas' ao redor.

De algum tempo pra cá, as classes mais abastadas têm aderido a uma certa máquina chamada Nespresso, que, além de exorbitantemente cara, nos priva do contato com todos esses odores, sons e temperaturas que precediam o primeiro gole. É só enfiar um pote lacrado num buraco e esperar um pouco.

Enfim, o café se tornou algo muito mais imaterial. E não só o café: o mundo está se tornando mais "nespressalizado", ou seja, mais imaterial: o que antes eram funções físicas agora se tornam funções dedutivas.

Nesse contexto é que devemos entender a transformação das chicanes de Monza. O automobilismo é um fenômeno cultural e só pode funcionar se estiver articulado com o mundo à sua volta. Hulkenberg só cortou as chicanes impune, no último fim de semana, porque nós, como sociedade, temos aceitado trocar nossa experiência material-sensorial por um mundo entupido de não-coisas.

Este post foi baseado nas ideias e teorias de Vilém Flusser (1920-1991). Quem quiser enternder mais de Fórmula 1 e automobilismo não se arrependerá de ler "A Filosofia da Caixa Preta" e "O Mundo Codificado".

GP da Itália 2010 - Desta vez não foi ridículo

Por ser muito veloz, Monza é uma pista de características únicas no calendário atual da Fórmula 1. Mas nem sempre foi assim. Há 25 anos, por exemplo, ela sequer era a mais rápida do ano: Osterreichring e Silverstone alcançavam velocidades médias maiores ainda.

Jacarepaguá, Imola, Paul Ricard com sua enorme reta, Kyalami, a antiga Hockenheim... Não à toa os motores turbo apareceram e conquistaram a Fórmula 1 no exato momento em que as retas dos autódromos eram mais longas e abundantes e do que em qualquer outro período.

Isso mudou com a chegada de novos padrões de segurança e chatice. Pouco a pouco, estas mesmas retas foram cortadas com tesouras e chicanes, até não sobrar mais nenhum circuito com velocidades finais que beiravam o absurdo. Exceto Monza. Por isso, apesar da dificuldade de ultrapassagens, os GPs da Itália têm oferecido, senão corridas emocionantes, ao menos a chance de que carros não muito bem adaptados às outras pistas ao longo do ano possam brigar pela ponta.

Calhou de esta chance cair, hoje, nas mãos da Ferrari. Alonso largou na frente e chegou na frente. E desta vez sem que a Ferrari tenha dado ordens ridículas a seus pilotos.

Não foi, porém, um simples passeio no jardim de casa: Button e a McLaren tiveram a melhor sacada do fim de semana, a de usar os dutos de ar e as mesmas asas que foram colocadas em Spa-Francorchamps.

Com um carro melhor nas curvas, e melhor de largada, o inglês tomou a ponta no início e só a perdeu no pit stop para o espanhol, que fez o percurso inteiro grudado na caixa de câmbio de Woking.

De desempenho oscilante, espectadoras privilegiadas da velocidade dos carros da Red Bull, McLaren e Ferrari reviveram hoje o duelo mais recorrente dos últimos quinze anos, brigando palmo a palmo pela ponta. E o resultado final foi decidido justamente pela maneira mais típica desta década e meia: nos boxes. Em Monza, é difícil distinguir claramente o que é passado e o que é presente.

2011 Audi S7

This is 2011 Audi S7, for long time it has been spied again during testing on the Nurburgring race track. Unfortunately, the spy images show only a heavily camouflaged 2011 Audi S7 and leave a lot of room for interpretation. However, a few design cues of the more performance oriented 2011 Audi S7 can still be distinguished through the black and white psychedelic vinyl wrap. The 2011 Audi S7 will have a more aggressive front fascia with a re-designed bumper and larger air intakes. The rear of the 2011 Audi S7 shows the meaning quad exhaust pipes.
