"Yeah…or that retarded guy from Craigslist…you should really just let all of the corporations of the world run everything as they see fit. Just roll over…it makes life so much easier, right?"
No, actually, it doesn't.

* She must be fitted to the motor (4 time or 2 times) and to have the come
for viscosity (15W40, 15W50, etc.). She perhaps synthetic or semi-synthetic :
to you to see what the is most fitted to your motorbike (technic booklet,
concessionaire)
* The plenty of oil must count between the level upper and lower when the
motorbike is maintained right (attention to the downhill footpath who
falsifies the measure)
* To put over-many oil prejudicial to the smoothness of the motorbike but a
lack damages gravely a motor.
A motor Â« tightenned Â» is good to put to the breaking.
* One must do the draining all 6 000 kms, table-centre in town where small
journeys do not let the possibility to the oil to fetch the necessary
fluidity.
* Do not ascend ever in towers when the motorbike is cold, wait at least 2
kilometres before Â« to openning the gas Â»
When a motor is cold the slow motion is not stable.
Furthermore , you will use less cylinders, bus when the oil is hot, she
lubricates better.
* Oils are rated acting of their viscosity by the rank SAE (Society of
American Engineers) to cold and in the acute stage .
For instance , for an oil SAE 15Ws-40, one can obtain 2 informations :

1
- The rank to cold, so be it 15 in the present followed case of the W letter
for Winter (winter) 2
- The rank in the acute stage , would be 40 in the present case .
Less the rank to cold is raised, more the oil is fluid to low temperatures or
negative.

The motor starts easily and gives of better performances.
More the rank in the acute is stage raised, more the oil is thick in high
temperatures.
The driving is lubricated good, then protected on brutal utilizations.

* An oil SAE 15Ws-40 permits a broad beach of utilization.
She is ideal for comprised temperatures between -10Â°Cs and +40Â°Cs.
Attention of good to overhaul the come for viscosity by your motorbike.
She is indicated in your technic booklet.

Obviously we are talking about some pretty bright people. Rather than assuming they are making a stupid move I'd be starting to think about what kind of huge idea they've come up with. IMO the digg model has reached its limit and now they'll be working on something completely different.

I agree with DEL, DIGG is a great idea with poor implementation, however. The quality of diggs is not consistent and the turnover of stories on the site is too rapid. Unless DIGG is able to figure out a substantive way to capitalize on the DIGG concept and grow traffic, within a year or two they will fall by the internet wayside.

Unless they got some bright ideas on a new business model, raising that amount of funds is pretty much useless. The innovation I see in Digg throughout this year can be achieved by a handful of engineers.

I just published a new way of evaluating Web 2.0 traffic called "orbital theory". Putting this kind of theory into place would show exactly why a site like Digg is worth only whatever it's *active* member base is currently up to.

If you want to critique the theory, it's here:

Digg is for geeks but geeks donâ€™t click ads. Digg has to reach out to other audience to increase its cashflow.

Digg may have to rethink its revenue generation model - ad-supported model and â€œbuild and flip modelâ€ donâ€™t seem to cut it. Maybe their SEO forte will do some magic:)

Congrats to Digg and company. Hopefully they'll invest the money well and not simply stuff their wallets with pay raises and unneeded body/staff. :)

Digg is a great idea, but is handled poorly. It seems like most of the "team" at Digg has a great understanding on how things need to change, but are covering up the truth. Adelson appears very withdrawn during this new wave of Web 2.0 and Digg. Perhaps that he's only in it for the "money" (once the team focuses more on spam, etc.) and will continue to box this idea up. I feel Kevin (Rose) places his idea into the wrong hands and is in need of a serious overhaul.

Digg get's gamed all the time. That's why you guys kicked out various users for digging their friends stories. That's why you banned people for sites like user/submitter.

Don't be a morons like the guys at facebook and try demanding an insane amount of money. Take a decent ammount and invest it then.

Or just keep being the tools you guys act like now. I can't wait to see the company sold and the VC's get all the money, and poor Kevin gets enough to buy a new look (and personality).

It's quite funny how digg refuses to acknowledge it has problems. I recently published a detaled plan on how to abuse digg that they completely ignored

Congrats to the Digg crew. I can't wait to see what they do with the dough - interesting things to come I'm sure.

Regarding context, I was not responding to the specific question of whether or not JetNumbers did or did not accept money for a submission. I was responding to a question about "pay for digg sites" influencing Digg story promotions, which to date, I believe we have successfully prevented.

I believe people try to game Digg often. Our community and systems, we believe, successfully thwart those efforts.

So yes, I do think my comments were taken incorrectly out of context.
