    Yeah but to get the car down below 100 in July we are going to need to just leave the AC running all day anyway.

    So, did you go Office Space on the printer or what. Throwing away a printer because the driver needs a security update one time seems a little crazy.

    You're right. I misunderstood and thought they were allowing DRM'd music to sync as well. I still think Apple is wrong however. If Microsoft only allowed you to sync a Zune to WMP people would be up in arms.

    There are many albums released with iTunes exclusive tracks that are not on that list.

    So it is OK for Apple to lock-in customers to iPods because they downloaded their music collection from the iTunes store. Your take on corporations leveraging monopolies is interesting. Before I get flamed for calling the itunes music store a monopoly, they have over 70% worldwide market share and exclusive deals with many record labels and artists. If you want to download all your music from the internet legally you are forced to use iTunes.

  20. Re:but... on MIT Electric Car May Outperform Rival Gas Models · · Score: 2, Informative

    But, I pay $.035 per KWh and around $2.50 per gallon, so I would get around 240mpg. Those poor bastards in Venezuela with their $.12 gas and $.95 KWh electricity would only get .42mpg. Shit, I've got a lawn mower that gets better mpg than that.

    Obviously, it is hard to compare electric cars "mpg" because the cost of electricity and gasoline are different everywhere.

  21. Re:Outperform? on MIT Electric Car May Outperform Rival Gas Models · · Score: 1

    Also, most ordinary homes are rated with between 40 to 100 amps of service. @220 volts

    I'm not sure where you live but the average North American home has a 200Amp service @ 240V. The Tesla uses a 240V, 80amp charger and is able to charge the car in 3-4hrs.
    Now, you're still right about not being able to charge a car with any significant range in 10 minutes but it is not quite as bad as you make it out to be. At 75-100A, charging times of 2-4 hours are reasonable.
