possibly increased brake life because stopping energy can be recycled into electricity (not sure if Tesla cars implement this, but future electric cars will).
I'd be shocked if it didn't, that's been a standard feature on even low-end EVs for many years now.
Well for bimonthly I'd say an EV doesn't make sense right now, but for those who only do it once or twice a year it might be worth it to just rent an ICE car for those trips. I wouldn't be surprised if it paid off in gas savings.
It's not a life-threatening problem unless you live in the remote hills of North Dakota or something. 300 miles is like a 30MPG car with a 10-gallon tank. For the person who suddenly needed to exceed their car's capabilities and can't wait for a half-hour quick charge at the nearest station, there's always the option of calling a tow truck. Not the end of the world.
Battery swapping is going to seem like a laughably silly idea 10 years from now. I think it's silly right now myself.
EV makers should stop trying to appease the "range anxiety" crowd, they can't be appeased. Have battery swap stations at every corner and cars with a 500 mile range and they'll be "anxious" about getting a dud battery and breaking down in the desert they drive through every morning.
I mean the high-end model goes 300 miles. There are only two reasons to have a problem with that range: You actually drive further than that regularly, in which case you have no business driving an electric car right now anyways, or you've got some kind of "range survivalist syndrome" where you're always worried about "what if I run out of juice and then ZOMBIES ATTACK!?"
Agreed, it's pretty unethical no matter how you look at it.
Still, Newt shouldn't be let off the hook for his stupidity. If you are a public figure or celebrity you should have your real name registered as a domain name. Newt was a public figure since before there was an Internet. It was moronic to not register his name even after starting his latest campaign. That staggering lack of forethought doesn't say anything good about him...
Kazaa, Limewire, Shareaza (as mentioned below), Bittorrent (what's not neutral about that?), Morpheus...in fact I can't think of any clients or protocols with "piratey" names, care to mention some?
In fact most newer cars are designed specifically *not* to harm people. That's why they have a hood shape reminiscent of a fat man's belly and some models even have hood-mounted airbags to protect pedestrians.
I've never seen that happen but neither situation is good. Mounting somewhere under/media or/mnt (although I think/mnt has been unofficially deprecated for some time) would have been better, that's what they're for, that's the convention we've been following since the graybeard's beards weren't gray and backup solutions are already made with them in mind.
I don't even mind a mobile interface on a mobile device, but they have no place on a desktop device. Also a mobile interface doesn't necessarily mean a loss of control but sadly the two often go hand-in-hand in this dark age of curated computing.
Very worst case, with no attempt to lose heat before dumping the exhaust water, the fish will have to vacate the area immediately near the vent, but will be fine a hundred feet away.
The water that comes out won't be more than about 50C at the most, and if it's a cold environment and they run the exhaust water over a wide slipway and then let it fall through the air back into the fjord (or better yet, use it for office heat even before that), it will lose a lot of its heat to the atmosphere before it even gets back into the water. The waste heat from a data center is nothing, even to a small lake.
Harsh words but basically true. I don't think anyone likes her writing, but there is a vocal fanbase of her ideology. I have a friend who is conservative-leaning but still had only bad things to say about Atlas Shrugged after forcing himself to read through it.
Don't worry it's not crazy enough for PETA. They'd say the whales were being musically enslaved by humans or something.
Although I really wouldn't be surprised if ASCAP & company tried to collect royalties, the whales have exactly as much relation to them as the indie/garage bands they collect royalties on...

Not only rich people, *most* people. The average American drives 40 miles per day.

I think that if they can build a 4-door luxury car with these specs for $50k they can build a 2-door sports car with similar power for less... :D
Although if they base it on the next-gen Elise you might want to walk into the car backwards...talk about fugly x_x
True. I wouldn't even call this impractical at all, just too expensive for the everyman. They look like decent deals if you have the money.

Good username/post combo.
Yeah anything over $40k is well into the "rich guy toy" range, good deal or not.

We have them, they're called paintball guns, and yeah they're mostly about as accurate as stormtrooper rifles.

The way I see it Win7's Libraries are no different from Nautilus' bookmarks.

I'd say 50C would be a worst-case-scenario estimate. See also my post above:

Can't think of one.

They have a very limited habitat on some little Canadian island near Newfoundland. I know a couple of them.
I know they're Pontiacs, but what about the Fjerbird and Fjero?

Nah I'm familiar with both and would bet money they aren't same person. Very different writing styles and personality traits.
