    I wish you were right. Sadly, people are much more likely to choose the same bad familiar option instead of an unfamiliar, possibly better alternative. Look at the governments they choose, the energy they use, the machines they buy, their belief systems. Familiarity and fear of change is a powerful force. Now add ignorance and ability for the companies to place liability on someone else and you'll see why this whole windows joke keeps happening version after version.

  6. Re:kWh is a confusing unit for energy... on EEStor Issued a Patent For Its Supercapacitor · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Oh, yeah. kWh are confusing. I guess it's only natural to ignore the fact that 1 kWh is simply the energy spent by using a device that has a power of 1kW for an hour.
    On the other end, 1 foot = 12 inches, 1 yard = 3 feet, 1 furlong = 220 yards and 1 mile = 8 furlongs. Sure. That makes TOTAL sense
