Cheat-code for new BMW gearbox. The new BMW has a cheat-code built into the shifter, which disables a road-safety feeature intended to prevent 5000RPM jackrabbit starts.There's a cheat code in the software running the BMW M3's sequential manual gearbox (SMG): Press the right buttons in the right order and the car will launch you from a stop after revving the engine to 5,000 rpm. But don't look for a how-to in the owners' manual--this feature is undocumented, an inside joke of sorts...But there is a catch. In Europe, where the feature isn't so hush-hush, doing more than 15 launches voids the car's warranty. Federal laws prohibit such stipulations here, so BMW has turned down the wick. U.S.-spec cars are programmed to wind to only 2,500 rpm--and our test car topped off at 1,800. That's why you have to ask your dealer to install the European software. Most will happily oblige.

Speaking freely with VoIP - Infoworld Staff. My durance vile in the Land of the Mouse last week led to several revelations. The first was that the populace there was living
evidence of Overweight America. The second was the reason for that -- all food-related substances there contain carbohydrates.
Even the water seems to harbor carbs. But you can’t tell anyone about it, because cell phones don’t work there, mysteriously
enough. Ah, central Florida. |

Making e-mail identity work - Infoworld Staff. I’ve watched with bemusement as Bill Gates has been making the rounds lately — the World Economic Forum, the RSA Conference
— to announce that Microsoft is “innovating on many different fronts” to eradicate spam. Really? The hashcash scheme, which
requires the sender to spend CPU cycles generating an ID number for each message, dates back to about 1992 or so. And “caller
ID for e-mail” derives from RMX (Reverse MX), a more recent proposal to bind senders to authorized relays via DNS records. |

was time for a change. “It only took three infected machines to bring down our dual processor firewall,” he marvels. “Without
our Internet connection we couldn’t process claims or do much of anything.” |

Water purification. “We use membranes incorporated with some molecules that selectively only transport water molecules through, and with very, very high efficiencies,” Montemagno said. “The end result is that projected performance is at least 100 times better, maybe 1,000 times better than the best … filters.”

New mobile number used to be Chris Rock's. Funny personal account of a woman who was assigned Chris Rock's old cell-number.
CALLER: It's Adam.
LAURA: Adam?
CALLER: [In a jovial manner] It's Adam Sandler!
LAURA: [Realizes instantly it was indeed Adam Sandler -- there's no mistaking that distinctive voice of his] Oh, hi!
ADAM: Hi!
LAURA: Hi!
ADAM: Hi!
LAURA: [Overcome with sudden punchiness, from the craziness of one minute quietly winding down for bedtime, and then talking to Adam Sandler the next] So, are you calling Chris for business or pleasure?
ADAM: [Laughs, slightly taken off guard by this question, but still retaining his happy-go-lucky attitude] I'm calling Chris to say hello and chat. So... is he there?
LAURA: [Knows it's confession time, but tries her best to retain formerly buoyant personality] No, well... he's not. You see, I'm actually just this random New York City girl who happened to get Chris' old cell phone number....
ADAM: [Lets out a big laugh] Wow, that's really funny! That's great! You must be having a fun time with this!
LAURA: As a matter of fact, yes, I am! And what also makes it fun for me is that coincidentally, I write true stories about my life in New York City, and this will be another funny, true story to write about... Oh, I have number you can call to reach Chris....

Bloggers express 3/11 condolences at Spanish Embassies. BoingBoing pal JP points us to this post on Evan K's blog:
Further to this suggestion by Glenn Reynolds regarding the Spanish Embassy in Washington: there are also Spanish consulates in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Miami, Chicago, New Orleans, Boston, New York, Houston and San Juan (addresses below, via this page). Presumably the same goes for Toronto, Montreal, and of course there's a full embassy in Ottawa.
I went over to San Francisco's Spanish consulate this afternoon, and they had posted signs indicating that there was a book of condolences available for signing by the public.
