Linux, Apple, or Windows - Which one is right for you? - I get this question so often that I decided to write this article. It is geared towards the less than avid computer user, but has content that even the most advanced users will find interesting. It will guide you in your decision for what is best in your situation and it is based on my industry knowledge and practice in these areas. This will be an article that continuously changes as the industry changes, or as I find more Kool Stuff. If your wondering how this relates to Combustibles, read the article. You will be surprised where the industry is going with Computers and Software.
Did you know...
Wind Energy is not just for Wind Turbines - Wind Turbines are very popular right now and they are developed to an industrial scale at this point. The benefits of Wind Energy are practically undisputed and what most people do not know is that a popular childhood activity of flying a kite is turning into serious business. Of course everyone knows that Benjamin Franklin already figured out how to get electricity from a kite, but no one wants to hold the cord. However, some real innovative approaches are taking place in this world, and you will probably be shocked at the scale of some of these ideas that show real solutions. While wind energy has nothing to do with combustibles, we at Combustory.com realize that alternative energy is a necessary evolution that will allow us to continue laying a curved black number 11 on our local streets by keeping fuel prices low enough for even average Joe's like us.

We have come a long way Baby! Instead of covering the history of the beginnings of the motorcycle, which is fascinating in it's own right, I thought for the motorcycle crowd we should start out with the insane excitement that really got this party started. In about a 100 years you can see the development of two wild motorcycles. As you can see the creators of motorcycles have no lack of imagination, and it all centers around one thing... The unrelenting surge of adrenaline of cheating death each time you jump on these CO2 Spitting Dragons. The 1907 Curtiss V-8 with nearly 40 H.P. created a speed record of 136 mph. You see the creator Glenn Curtis was a motorcycle enthusiast that was so good at creating light weight high power engines that he was asked to create this air-cooled V-8 engine for an airplane. However, no self respecting motorcycle enthusiast could resist slapping this monster on two wheels. And that he did. He took it to Ormond Beach, FL to a motorcycle rally on the beach and set a record of 136 mph that lasted for over 20 years. In contrast we have the 2003 Dodge Tomahawk. In the same spirit, the designers took the V-10 Engine from a Dodge Viper and made a place to sit. With 500 H.P. under your legs, you better hold on. The question I have is, where do we go from here?
