Fractional charges only count as fractional charges. If your iphone is at 80% and you plug it into your computer and it charges up to 100% that is only 1/5th of a charge. You can do that 5 more times before you have even used a single recharge.
Synthetic corks have been engineered to provide the same kind of porousness that regular corks do and they don't wear out. This is a fairly new development but one that I, as a mead maker, am very happy about. Most mead takes years to mature often times it takes a decade. I cant be bothered with the expense of natural cork and I am unwilling to risk a batch that I have been nurturing for years to a cork that is so likely to fail.
Mostly I want to know what my per mile cost is going to be when I pass the range of the batteries. For commuting to and from work I expect I would be within the battery range and I know I'm going to do that anyway. What I want to know is, how big of a bath am I going to take when I want go on vacation and drive 600 miles without a chance to re-charge.
It seems obvious that electricity will still be cheaper than oil.
I'm curious to see what impact this has on time based electricity pricing. If everyone is charging up a car at night wouldn't overall demand even out between morning and evening? Right now people talk about charging the cars at night when electricity is cheep but I cant imagine that would remain the case.
I guess at this point I'm just not so concerned with the number of watts it takes to go a mile. But you have to figure that electricity costs are going to go up over time, especially if lots of people are using cars like this. So maybe by the time I'm buying one that will be more of a concern.
Plug in hybrids still use gas. That's why they are hybrids, otherwise they would simply be electric cars.
The idea here is to juice up the batteries at home and use them for the first x number of miles (hopefully enough to handle your commute). After that, when the batteries are low, a small diesel (or gas) engine will start up and begin charging the batteries providing you with more range. So if your out of juice you would simply fill up just like a regular car.
Of course I'm curious how they will report the millage on these cars. I would want to know the range on the electric system and the millage when running purely on gas, but I worry they will come up with some new way to measure it that has little to no meaning.
I believe his complaint is with the electoral college which puts the power in the hands of a small number of people in swing states while leaving people in hard and fast red/blue states disenfranchised. Why bother voting when you know there is no chance that a single electoral vote from your state will go to the candidate you want.
I believe you will find that the emulator is not actually part of xcode. Similarly, Dashcode and shark and sampler are not actually part of xcode but rather separate utilities (much like interface builder is). Xcode is an IDE it provides text editing functionality, a UI on top of gcc and a UI on top of gdb. There may be a few other features in there, but they are neither unique or necessary for iphone development.
I didn't think it was necessary to get into that level of detail on such a technically inclined web site, but I guess I was wrong.
absolutely. I feel the same way and I would certainly not be opposed to using x-code for iPhone development, but since being tied to x-code was brought up as a negative I thought it would be worth pointing out that your not actually tied to x-code.
I be if someone really watned to they could put together a version of eclipse that was ready to go for iphone development. I dont have the motivation, but maybe its a big issue for other people out there. Then again, maybe most people are like you and I and just want it to work.
I actually meant the debugger integration in Xcode in general. I have no experience with the SDK at all. Its usable, but often the messages that make it to the UI are not as helpful as they could be.
Given the quality of many of the other dev apps from apple, im still a bit unimpressed by X-code. It does keep getting better though.
while I agree with you on most of the apple tools, debugger integration is not really their strongest point.
Now I haven't even looked sideways at the iPhone SDK but I'm still curious. Since xcode is just a UI on top of gcc, couldn't you just as easily do all your development for the SDK on the command line (accepting that you might be better off doing the interface development in interface builder). Sure, your probably still stuck on a mac since the SDK isn't available elsewhere, but it seems like you could use the command line or even eclipse as your SDK if you were willing to put in the time to configure it.
Its not invasion of privacy to post publicly available information on the internet.
The purchase and sale of property is a mater of public record and are generally listed in the classified section of your local news paper. Taking that information and combining it with the results of a google search on the buyer or sellers name is certainly not invasion of privacy, though it might make you re-think the kind of info you put on line.
Im still not quite sure what the point of the web site is though.
No doubt. If I, for some reason, had this law firm on retainer I would be looking for a new firm already. This whole fisasco has to make one question the firms grasp of technology and law. Worse, it makes it clear that they lack any forethought. Right or wrong, what did they think was going to happen when they filed this suit? Did they not think that it would end up plastered all over the internet?
If I were one of their clients I would be questioning their judgment right now.
Of course, figuring out how to mass produce extra strong carbon nanotube ribbons would be very useful for things other than building a space elevator.
Sure, that research might cost billions but the benefit is not just the ability to build a space elevator. By all rights the cost to develop such technology should be divided over all of the gains that the technology brings.
Of course if the girl got a few other girls from the school to say that they felt the principal was hitting on them then the principal could be pretty well fucked.
I haven't looked at the actual my-space page here at work, but all I've seen in this article was that she said the principal liked to "hit on students and parents." True or not, that could be easy to "prove."
If the cells work and they aren't too expensive to build I don't think the kid will have too much trouble raising money (assuming he files a patent for the idea)
Slashdot Mirror
Seemed obvious to me, but the original poster was pretty confused... or maybe he just wanted to spread FUD.
We would say "garden variety" for "common"
I need coffee.
you can do that 4 more times, for a total of 5 times, before using a single recharge.

yea, but the cost of gas fluctuates too much.

yea know... they used to shoot people from profiteering

I think you might want to look up the definition of the word "profitable"

Really... so many people are happy to troll slashdot for free just to stir up trouble. why bother to pay them.
the same thing that caused her to push through measurements requiring rape victims to pay for their rape test kits.
I haven't heard this one before, do you have a supporting link for that story?

I liked the early powerpc macs that made the sound of a car crash when the failed to boot.
