They don't really care so much about the details as long as they are in control of it. Gotta be able to move into those nice high-paying industry "jobs". Grab that power, guys.
Driving away your customers because they don't want to be forced to spend 20 minutes each hour watching advertising on a service they've already paid for is no way to make a profit either. Unless you have just a few very dumb, very rich customers.
Yeah, screw Vizo, Samsung, Magnavox and all those other TV manufacturers for making a profit off those broadcasters. I'm not quite sure which way to go on Sony though. Meh, they're evil. Screw them too.
Most doors that won't open in real life for me are locked more by social convention than physical devices. Typically in games, these social conventions are not in play.
I think the phrase "willing suspension of disbelief" applies though.
Oh, he's talking about the ability to pre-download. A reasonable estimate is probably somewhere in the region of 1GB/hour. It's always annoyed me that Netflix doesn't allow you to pre-download or even buffer on a local network. I often know I'm going to want to watch something in advance but sitll I have to put up with that stupid spinning circle. It would take the wind out of Verizon and Comcast's sails too. Heck, with a bittorrent like protocol, I could even be buffering for others locally. I'm no fan of DRM but it seems it's often being implemented in a dumb manner.
Processing power for decryption may be up though. But might be assisted by onboard chips. And video processing is not exactly lightweight itself.
The steps involved in setting up a Netflix stream have been fairly well documented somewhere. Unfortunately, this doesn't give you enough information to actually decode the stream on unsupported devices but it will give you an idea of what's actually going on.
I like to drive. I don't like to drive a bunch of miles each and every day even when I'm tired or not feeling great or just don't feel like facing the traffic. Of course, a better answer would be for me to do exactly the same work from home.
A convertible hits the fuel economy pretty hard. You add a huge amount of turbulence. Not that it's necessarily a bad idea but with the Leaf's already mediocre range, it would make it a harder sell.
I did the maths on one. Unfortunately my commute both ways is just shy of the claimed range so that's a no go. In theory I could fast-recharge at Nissan HQ down the road but that's not a way I want to spend my lunch hour.
You're not wrong. I want a new car but my old car is still running great. I keep looking for excuses but the simple fact is that the longer I can put it off, the more I can save towards a nicer car. Unfortunately, inflation doesn't help the equation.
I don't think anyone is mocking. It's a genuine thing that EV owners get. I get the same when my fuel light (diesel) comes on when I'm leaving work (my regular gas station is 25 miles away). The difference is that it only takes me five minutes to add another 700 miles to my range.
It's not so much the shape as the additional styling that makes it look dorky. Nissan seems to make odd styling choices on several of their cars. The handles on the 370Z for example are just clunky and ugly on an otherwise very nice looking vehicle.

I don't really blame Obama (for this). if anything, he's more of a symptom.

There go my plans to open a nationwide chain of kernel module stores.
You can fill in the rest.
That long ago? It was probably called YeTube.

Possibly they should have actually rented the DVRs and antenna as well and made it an option to either host at home or host at Aereo HQ.
That's like asking if you only have a driving license to avoid breaking road laws.

Mostly retrieving keys etc. The stream itself will likely be encrypted on a 1:1 basis. If there's any watermarking, that may add a little more.
FAT was a patent. Patents are supposed to be documented.
Though it's worth noting that hybrids are less impacted by capacity loss in the batteries than full EVs as they are not the primary energy source.
Yeah, 325 for a brake fluid change? Someone saw somebody coming.

I'm not a huge fan of the Prius styling but it doesn't actually look bad. The leaf looks goofy.

If they start approaching 200, I'll take another look. Also if they can make it less ugly. I'd still like to take one for a test drive though.
