What is not there yet is battery storage technology or small high current, high voltage power supplies. IT doesn't have to be battery any system to convert or store energy will do. But everything we have on this planet is so pitifully weak per pound that it's not useful yet.
Even a doubling of current storage tech would deliver huge gains. Problem is we cant even figure out how to keep our current low energy systems from bursting into flames yet.
I hear it all over Michigan. GM should have died. They make crap cars and have done so for over a decade because of bad management. GM should have went out of business.
Trying to sell a PREMIUM PRICED solar array in this market? they were all complete morons from the Board down to the middle managers. You do not make old 1990's tech solar panels today and try to sell them at a premium price. They should have been making the high end solar shingles from flexible silicon and found a way to make them cheap enough that someone with a $100,000 home can afford them.
Instead they sold panels that were so expensive that they even lost out to other american manufacturers.
"Queuing in a traffic jam is still a massive waste of time regardless of means of propulsion. Electric cars don't fix this."
Going to work 30 minutes early does. your traffic jam does not exist at 7:30 am. What fixes the problem is not having mentally retarded bosses that demand a 8am-5pm workday. Being able to work 730am-4:30am will eliminate the traffic jam effects on you.
Oh and I did not ask if I could, I just adjusted my work day myself..... 4 years now and nobody has said anything to me.
If your mortgage has a early repayment penalty then you got screwed hard. The only time I have sever seen that is when someone had no idea at all what they were doing and said yes to everything the banker asked.
Let me guess you also paid "points" as well. Intrest rates have been so low that paying $1000 in points to lower it by 0.01% is worthless unless you are buying a 2.5million mansion.
Then you know absolutely nothing. the Xbox 360 has been hacked for a VERY long time. Try getting some education on the subject first before you act like you even know what an Xbox 360 is.
Microsoft is completely stupid by doing that. If I cant loan a friend the game, then I'll support all hackers from cracking their system and pirating the hell out of the games.
Microsoft deserves to lose big time for this, as well as all game devs that support such a platform.
"Reform the current operation before trying to graft on something else."
The need to start by firing everyone on the executive floor of the offices. the Board needs to hire all new blood that has a clue how to run a technology business.
Not with the complete Moron CEO they have. That woman has no idea how to run a business. You do NOT insult your customers to gain market share...
Her Comments , “There’s no such thing as Flickr Pro today because [with so many people taking photographs] there’s really no such thing as professional photographers anymore...”
I really hope someone told her that she was a complete idiot for saying those words at a press conference.
Incorrect. the origional IBM PC model 5150 had an option to be purchased with a 8" floppy drive. we had one as well as a "portable" 9" tape drive to read the data tapes sent to us from the master office with the new product line update.
Are you insane? Drupal and Joomla replacements for Lotus Notes?
Let me guess, you also think that Adobe After effects is a good replacement for Microsoft notepad.
Drupal and Joomla are dynamic web page systems they are NOT CMS by any hope or stretch. Anyone trying to get normal corperate users to use those two are completely and utterly insane.
Beginners and non programmers can even help. 99.99786% of all OSS projects desperately need help with documentation. IF you want to start somewhere, start there.
TFA is mostly bullshit written from someone that did not even do a cursory search of information about the device. There is a big bright LED blaring at you if the camera is active. Only the blind will not know if the Google Glass is recording them.
But don't let reality and facts get in the way of everyones fearmongering.
I would gleefully go back to Mozilla if they stopped with the adding fluff and went back to being fast and correct. It's a bloated turd right now, over 1/2 the code needs to be thrown away.
Mozilla back to it's roots and become the fasted and smallest memory footprint out there? I would love it!

Solyndra failed because the managers were morons.

They need to run ad's in NC stating that everyone that has a NC home address can buy a Tesla out of state and Tesla will pay the sales tax.
Tesla can flip a giant F-U to NC, and they really need to.
"You don't have a deity-given right to get a second-hand-games"
Yes I do . it's called the right of first sale. and it was upheld by the US supreme court.

You say that like it is a good thing. The HALO tv series is a joke. Like BattleStar Galactica 1980 level of joke.

And Programmers are?

"Crashing clients, lost messages and since you mention it disappearing calendar events and worse yet, horrible support."
This is what we experience here with Outlook and Exchange.
Block all ad's.
What is worse is a lot of this crap is coming with spamware payloads.
But the feds will never believe me.
House speaker Bohner is actually the 6th member. He is always hanging out in hacker bars and dressing like Neo from the Matrix.

You know they have medication for your level of paranoia. You should talk to your doctor.

"Someone up to something nefarious, the camera lens is going to be one of his shirt buttons."
You have been able to do that for over a decade now.

They are dirt cheap now to the point that they are almost free. Back in the 90's they were $300-$400 but still readily available.
Glad to see Congress worried about stupid crap instead of doing their jobs.
Good grief, The US government has turned onto a complete joke.

Why is it MAN made? Why not WOMAN made?
I see more women driving the largest SUV possible. MY wife spends far more time in the bathroom running tons of electrical devices.
