the best gas powered cars on the market now get 34-35 mpg. That's pretty good. A Prius gets 45, some say 50 but that's unlikely with most drivers heavy feet. The original Honda Insight could get 65mpg which is insane! Most of that efficiency was from aerodynamics. The rear wheels being covered and the shape of the tail did most of the work. There are some cars on http://ecomodder.com/ that get more than that and are gas powered and just modded for aerodynamics. Car companies can release these kinds of low drag designs but I think they are afraid to just because it entails a different kind of styling that we are used to.
this is a moot point as people are used to needing the disc on a console. On a PC there are legitimate reasons to not want the disc in. On a console it makes no difference because the device is intended to need the disc in. It doesn't detract from anything else on the system. A PC is used for more than just games.
when people are paid to put out certain things in their packages or just when money is generally involved the money is what is important. Not so much for the safety of a customers computer. A cracker has no motivation to screw with people's stuff. At least thats what I think.
well the weird thing about the smaller guy is that yes he was trying to gain muscle mass (which was very difficult for him to aquire) but he wasnt forcing himself to eat. If we ate food and he downs a good size meal about an hour later maybe 2 he is so hungry that he looks like he is gonna die. I think his metabolism is too fast for his own good.
regardless a heavily muscled person requires more food as upkeep for those muscles. That should show some evidence that more energy is burned in general. But I think that it isn't about the muscle mass as much as muscle percentage. My friend who is very muscular and my friend who is equally lean but has much smaller muscle mass both eat like monsters. Their metabolism is high. Their bodies have been formed into high output machines that require a lot of fuel. If they stop exercising for a while and lose the tone and definition i am sure they will not actually be as hungry all the time.
no it isn't. Duke Nukem Forever will be released when a powerful enough computer is assembled. The game will just manifest itself in the machine one powered up. But you have to have downloaded 20TB of porn and covered the internals with a thin layer of cigar smoke first.
you are right. GDC is the real industry convention. E3 was just a big show and it would stick around as a show but not something with actual content. It should just become a con for not the industry but as a big marketing machine. So many people have their eyes on E3 back when you could "sneak in" and whatnot. GDC has actual content.
not just an illuminating wall. Imagine the entire ceiling covered in an OLED sheet and have lighting do cool stuff like follow you around or whatever. Rooms with people get lit while others don't. Crazy flashy lights for parties. the possibilities are limitless!
u can make light cars that handle well in crashes. It just isnt as cheap as a stamped unitbody frame.Tubular spaceframes can give you light weight and good crash safety. How do race drivers always walk away from horrible crashes!
also 100mpg cars can be easily attainable. The only problem is that making production cars that are light and aerodynamic are against the will of the industry or something. Building a car that has a coefficient of drag lower than 0.2 is easy but the car will "look funny". Looks matter of course. But that will change when gas hits 10/gal. Building lighter cars will also make accidents hurt less as long as all the cars are light. How much energy is wasted dragging around all that excess weight! There are people at ecomodder.com that are getting around and over 100mpg from some ghetto backyard modded bodies to lower drag. wtf car industry! wtf car buyers!
speaking of trucks. Dont they got a lot of space on the trailers to load up on solar cells! Would a trailer covered completely with pv cells be enough juice to run the truck? This could make the shipping system in the country cheaper in the long run?
I think a better way to get solar powered racing to fruition would first need a governing body like the FIA does for F1 racing. Next on the PV tech. There needs to be standardized restrictions. This way the power source is the same for each car making racing fair and interesting. The reason pro racing is interesting is because the rules make sure the competition is very close and the drivers and teams are what make the wins. The human element is whats important in any sport. Imposing PV cell restrictions that are modified every season to use newer tech will help upgrade the industry in a more steady pace. Forcing teams to buy and use the PV cells for that season will force some production companies to produce those cells developing cheaper methods of production etc. This is how to help push an industry using a racing program.

They did that in Babylon 5 where they wipe criminals memories instead of death penalty. Giving them a new life and bringing them back into society.
it's all about bus speed.
dude, kids these days haven't even heard of Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
very true. Though I would trust a random pirated copy of a game over a retail copy that installs all sorts of crapwares and feceswares on my compy.

only Ma-Ti can feel his way through this one!

#3 - Find a local swimming pool, strap on a pair of rollerblades, get a bicycle.
This is a real ultimate workout. Riding a bike with rollerblades on while at the bottom of the pool. Man you are hardcore to the MAXtreme!

there is one discrepancy. Batman has reliable intelligence. He doesn't make up intelligence reports just to go after anyone he wants.
so if you use tapioca balls as an interstrate would you call it BOBAFET?
the truly greatest puns are so bad they hertz.
Like "by opening this box you agree..."?
Every layer is just checkin to make sure you agree.

I just want it to tell me when my target is locked and other useful info.

true, also trucks park a lot! thats time well spent charging it up.

fill it with whatever you like to use to ferment to make alcohol! Open air fermenter ftw! yeeee haaawwww!!
