Robert E Lee Confederate Army
2,005 words

Generals that the historian cannot make general or
specific comparisons between personalities like
Robert E. Lee and Ulysses S. Grant. They
eventually fought each other, and Grant was the
victor. Who was more bold? Who was more the
genius? Who had the best instincts? When comparing
Robert E. Lee with Joseph Johnston comparisons

general and the other? And the other was also an
offensive minded general who lac...

The idea of forced air induction by turbine, or
turbo, is not new and has it's mass production
roots in WWII fighter planes. What is new,
however, is its application to passenger
automobiles. Unlike a near constant high RPM
fighter engine, an automobile requires wide-open
throttle (WOT) power availability throughout its
entire operating range. Previous automotive turbo
applications acted like an on-off power switch
with a five second delay, decreasing drivability,

Lately companies have been paying more attention
to open source. Ten years ago there seemed a real
danger Microsoft would extend its monopoly to

companies are replacing Windows servers with Linux
servers. [ 1 ] More significant, I think, is which
