So insure your car with a mutual insurance company like state farm. When they overestimate premiums/pay-outs you get a dividend check at the end of the year.
Oh, I completely agree, I was just pointing out that the 37 hour number is misleading. 10 seconds would be great but I don't know if it is practical. The battery pack in the Tesla stores about 50kWh of power. The battery operates at 375V nominal. So, what's the highest voltage we can throw at it to charge? 400V? 500V? Regardless, it is going to be a crazy amount of current at any sane voltage to charge a 50kWh battery in 10 seconds. At the current 3.5 hours at 240V we're around 60A. If we bump it up to 400V and drop the time down to 1 hour the amperage jumps to 125A. For this to be possible we wouldn't be able to do much else in our home while charging. A dedicated charging station could probably make this work though. To get down to 10 seconds at 400V we need to increase the current to a staggering 45,000A. Increase the voltage to a kilovolt and we are still at 18,000A. I just don't see this happening.
That'f if you plug it into a 110V 15A wall outlet. If you have a 220/240V 80A service installed in your garage you can completely charge the car in 3-4 hours.
Duh, he uses the word "I" twice, the word "Object" twice, the word "Of" twice, and the word "The" a whopping three times. You can't get much more redundant than that.
Yeah, but now they will just sell more CPUs for notebooks. Between the Atom and the Centrino, Intel is going to sell a lot of CPU's. For one, people replace laptops fairly often, they break so easily, and there are still features being added that make upgrading attractive that aren't easy to upgrade without replacing the whole laptop (Better displays, batteries, blu-ray drives, web-cams, etc). Also, there is more useful speed to be gained in the laptop market because of the bias towards power-savings. Add to that the netbook market taking off and things don't look so bad for Intel.
What is the standard plug that supports USB data, charging, audio, and video. I hate that it isn't a standard plug as well but the problem is that there is not a standard plug that will support the feature set required.
With UAC you can install a program as a non-privileged user and the installer will ask for credentials for escalation. You can also set the compatibility settings of the program to run as administrator and that specific program will run as admin. The point of UAC is to either A) allow you to run a program as admin or preform admin tasks from a non-admin account or B) to allow you to run as admin and be prompted whenever a program tries to use those admin privileges.
Read the linked article. The jobs are coveted because sitting on a phone is a hell of a lot better than sitting in a jail cell all day. It's a win-win.
That is probably the most important thing they fixed, I threw the beta on an old AMD 1700+ (1.47 GHz) with 512 pc2100 and it runs good, I was using it as a Media Center in my living room streaming HD. Vista will barely load on this pc with a gig of PC3200.
And it looks like Microsoft bitch slapped Nvidia over it. I guess that is why they have this page linked right on their front page. Linky
Did they have anything about Vista up in 2006?

NO! Raspberry!!!
Fixed that for ya.

Like a post-it under the keyboard.
You do realize that if one of those drives fail, chances are, the other is right behind it. Raid != Backup.
My point was that it is not "Only available in Europe." In fact, it was available in the US before it was available in Europe.
Ummm, the Tesla is an American car and is currently available in the US, Canada and Europe.
Everything?? Or just files encoded with third party codecs?
Did you know: Used motor oil can fertilize your lawn!
That'll show em.
Why don't you have him spend $12 and get a decent amount of ram?

After reading that, I think BV lost his battle with the waistline a long time ago.

Sure you could. You just need some rims and an enormous spoiler.
4-5? Is the maths really that hard?
That's called a purse.
