Ignoring the fact that this is a HIGHLY ambiguous question, i.e. you don't specify _which_ RAID setting, here are some benchmarks:

You don't know what the fuck you're talking about.

Engines, powertrains, tires rolling over the road surface and air passing around moving vehicles all contribute to exterior noise. At low speeds, especially in urban areas, engine and powertrain noise, caused largely by acceleration from a stop, is the dominant noise source.

When at a full stop, an electric car is almost completely silent, and at low speeds, tire noise is too low to be heard over ambient noise. It's at low speeds, especially when accelerating from a stop that these cars are dangerous, especially if turning a corner from a stop. I've personally been nearly hit several times in that exact scenario.

Here's one such thourough report that refutes the "enough oil for 200 years" argument. If you don't redefined "enough" to mean something different than at least 90 mbd.

Here comes another Slashdot pundit who thinks he's the first to contemplate the obvious... I would mod you down but there is no one who responded to mod up in response, so here it goes.

We don't get hydrogen from splitting water. That costs too much.

That depends on your source of energy. If you have a windmill producing electricity irregularly, you can use hydrogen as a buffer. This is not rocket science, there are PhD these completed on the subject almost 10 years ago.

[...] while it's possible to sequester the resulting CO2 by injecting it underground, it's not done by anyone. Because, again, it costs money.

And guess what people do, exactly that. How so? If you fart CO2 into the environment, the government makes you pay a tax, since you are externalising your problem to the rest of the world. So yes, they actually make money on it.

is far, far more abundant than any renewable energy source

Obviously a renewable energy source is far far more abundant than a finite resource (such as natural gas). Natural gas extraction rate will peak soon, and it will have huge implications for home heating and electricity costs. See the work of Bengt Söderberg on natural gas and EU:s energy security for example. http://uu.diva-portal.org/smash/record.jsf?parentRecord=diva2:285433&pid=diva2:285447 for details.

How is this microneedle-thing different, from eg. this?

"Seriously why is this a big deal? .. as far as I understand it is an additional measure of security, not the only measure", MoneyT

Allow me to explain it to you. The move to e-passports was so as you couldn't counterfeited them like the paper ones. One of the measures required, if not the primary one is the ability to not be cloned. Thats why they call them e-passports

"his grand achievement is... what? That that a fellow called John Smith could thus make a fake passport that still says John Smith?", Moraelin

No, that a follow called Osama could pass through an airport if it used electronic scanning. Or as the article mentions an electronic device could be activated when 'John Smith' opened his passport.

The same lack of thought seems to have gone into fingerprint scanning. As this article demonstrates it is possible to forge these as you leave your prints all over the place.
