Unless there is a lot of potential still to be found by combining these 2 technologies, I see it as more of an evolution rather than a revolution. Perhaps a 1.0 liter engine would be able to muster 120+ hp/torque but I find it hard to believe that it could achieve mileage ratings significantly higher than a hybrid. And you still can't turn the engine off when idling or coasting down hill.
Check out the 998cc engine in the Yamaha R1, a sub 1 litre engine punching out 150+hp is nothing new...

"I don't remember the last time a programme crashed on me, and OS X itself has never crashed on me."

OK, so maybe i was hasty...
"And using powerful desktops such as KDE and Gnome with stunning visual effects it is able to look even better than Vista and OS X.
Also, unlike Vista and OS X, Linux provides comprehensive support for languages such as Gaelic and Welsh. "
Though that comment isnt laced with sarcastic pity.
"It is clean, uncluttered and lets me get on with my tasks.
When I see Windows' reminders, popups, and other interruptions, I appreciate its absence in OS X."
Isn't it funny that the only person to sledge their non-choice of OS was a Mac user?

I pissed myself on reading this... real.
Wow, are all anonymous cowards that scathing?
ROFL. Further, try cloning 15 of the things in a classroom and try to get Safari to work full stop...
Does someone who switched from Windows to OSX then back to Windows like me count?
