I wish I could figure out how to add you to my
Friends list.:-) This is the only rational thing
I've read all day -- except for the one above me
about the electric bike, which, from a purely
engineering standpoint, is the ideal vehicle.
...till the top mileage increases to that of a current gas engine...
This is the part
that I'm so tired of hearing about.
EVs have
never caught on because of this perceived shortcoming, but it's ridiculous.
Think about it: EVs could be made **very** inexpensively if people had realistic expectations about their speed and range. (Not "till the top mileage increases to that of a current gas engine")
If you live in an urban environment, the speed and mileage of "a current gas engine" should not even be necessary!
My first car, a '71 Chevy Nova,
had a charcoal filter to prevent this
from happening. My point? Gas hasn't
"evaporated and escaped" since the
early '70s.
You do,in fact want
to use the gas, as it turns into
something really, really nasty if
you don't. Then again, that takes a
matter of years.
It's not just about image. When you drive a tank, it doesn't matter (theoretically) if you know how to drive -- all you have to do is keep it between the ditches. Whatever else happens is the other party's problem.
And when these kids go to high school and college and the corporate world they'll probably be running Windows anyway so why introduce them to Linux
And when these kids go to high school and college and the corporate world they'll probably be running Apollo Domain anyway so why introduce them to Unix?
And when these kids go to high school and college and the corporate world they'll probably be running VMS anyway so why introduce them to DOS?
I don't get it. If you were to go to that much trouble, why
not just lay train tracks so you can move 3 zillion people at
one time, instead of perpetuating the single occupant vehicle
status quo?
Reminds me of a warehouse I had a temporary job in. We temps had no badge to get in, but we couldn't leave the door open, even temporarily, for the sake of perceived "security".
Never mind that the bay doors (where the trucks dock)
were wide open.

the mental stress of being abused by just about everybody else on the road led to me being pissed off the whole time
I hope you don't take up bicycling -- I've been this way for years.

>just for commuting, and not for expressway use.
In America,that's a contradiction in terms. ^_^
The U.S. does not have a real government at all, and hasn't for probably fifty years.
What we have is a corporate liaison.
Then nVidia could focus on debugging their Vista video card drivers
Real World: Nvidia lays off the people who debug Vista video card drivers, and give themselves a nice fat bonus.
if you don't run Windows then you aren't a computer user...
Similar to not owning a car in the U.S. makes you homeless.

Um, no, she'd be fired for not squandering company money on software, because if it's free, it must not be worth anything.
I finally figured out how to phrase this: Nobody wants anything that's free. They just want it for free.
One can certainly imagine the myriad of uses.
Rumor has it there are "desperate cowboys" in some place called Brokedick Mountain.
You need to visit Austin,TX where there are no traffic laws whatsoever.
Our whole concept of "quality of life" is based on how many red lights we can run on the way to work.
Why is parent flamebait?

Is anyone paying attention in Redmond?
More like, is anyone paying attention TO Redmond?
OMG LOL WTF BBQ!
You're the only person left in the world (or maybe the only one on /.) who knows how to spell "per se".
You are The One[TM]!
About the same time as MS-DOS.
In other words, any day now.
Your extracirricular activities do not intrigue me and I do not wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

Everything you just said would've cost more money. I'm pretty sure that wasn't a priority.
Beyond that, should it be legal for a company to commercially leverage a user's internet connection?
It's not "user", it's "consumer".
I trust this clarifies things for you, Citizen.
Nonsense. Of course you can read it.
For a nominal fee, of course.
...users... In Corporate America, the correct term for this is "consumers". FTFY.
