Whether or not you can drive 40 miles is irrelevant -- that's just a function of the size of the battery. The problem is the weakling 50kW generator cannot supply enough continuous current to actually function as an electric vehicle. It's a plugin hybrid with a large battery, nothing more, technologically. Of course for practical purposes, if it's worth an extra $15,000 or so to extend the range of your plugin Prius from 15 to 30 miles, then this information doesn't matter. But given that GM has been boasting the technological superiority of the Voltec platform and that it should be in its own class (extended range electric vehicle), this information matters.

Maybe putting in a larger generator that could handle real time charging at 70mph would increase costs...
That's exactly the point -- the way that GM represented the Volt originally, I thought wow this is a bargain, a $40,000 purely electric driven car (e.g. a Tesla with a generator). But now, we learn that it's the same architecture as a Prius, but way more expensive.
Right. Clients could also get smarter and implement looking for "closer" peers (e.g. do a traceroute before attempting to connect, or consulting a GeoIP database). I suppose it's an extension off what Vuze and friends already do with prioritizing LAN peers.
A major issue with BitTorrent is that in general, clients are unaware of geographic distance, which can cause clients to pick peers that are unnecessarily burdensome on ISP's compared to a path that a CDN-backed distribution system would've chosen.
No, this is actually the master key that you can use to generate vendor keys -- changing this key would break compatibility with existing HDCP equipment!
The design of the exam is not the problem -- if students have networking access to someone inside the exam room (or worse, outside the exam room), no matter how hard you make the exam, you are testing the brainpower of their lifelines, not them.
This the 2010 version of "how do I prevent students from whispering to each other during a test", for which there is no straightforward solution short of "no electronics in the exam room".
In Iran, we don't have suicides either, like in your country. We don't have that in our country. In Iran, we do not have this phenomenon. I do not know who has told you that we have it.
The original exploit release ALREADY acknowledges that in Linux, the root user can reconfigure MTRRs from userspace while Windows/OS X can't. The original authors also acknowledge that successful exploitation is highly platform and hardware dependent.
However, under those OS'es the equivalent superuser (Administrator, root) can load a kernel module that does the exact same thing.
So, I ask, what exactly is the news here? These guys managed to demonstrate an actual exploit on a particular motherboard? Ooh. Aah.
An easier way to tell is to try to change some mouse settings. The longer it takes you to figure out where the hell they hid the setting NOW, the newer your Xorg. *ducks*
It's a natural tradeoff when every application is designed to be self-contained. This is the same issue Mac OS X faces with its.app bundles -- each app basically ships a/usr like prefix with all of its dependencies on top of the base OS X API's, and application startup times on cold cache pales to a shared-dependency approach.
However, non-trivial disk acivity (such as compiling a port) caused the OS to shit itself with geometry errors.
That's my experience too, even with VBox 2.1.2-VBox 2.1.4: Any nontrivially intense disk activity will panic/oops the kernel with disk controller related errors. Once or twice it even was triggered in the installation phase when I elected to install some ports from the second CD.
And forget about SCSI controller emulation as a workaround -- that instantly dies on newfs.
Oh without a doubt in my mind, from my experience with being a flashlightaholic (my collection of lights totals about $2000-ish), 5.11 is playing a few common low-grade marketing games here:
(1) Advertising emitter lumens instead of out-the-front lumens. The number almost certainly doesn't account for losses in the reflector.
(2) Advertising emitter lumens at peak driveable Vf and current. Almost every vendor except the Inova T-series and INFORCE (military) series does this -- they put a lumens number on the box that is taken from the spec sheet. Then, they do not actually drive the emitter at the power required to produce this amount, usually because it generates too much eat or returns too low of a runtime.
(3) Advertising useless runtime. My NiteCore D10 is a 1xAA Cree Q5 based emitter. On a 2000mAh NIMH cell, it produces a little over 2 hours of full DC-DC regulated brightness. Then, the output tapers off and goes into a "moon" brightness for 24 hours so you can find your next set of batteries. So, does this have 120 minutes of runtime or 24 hours of runtime? I'd say realistically the former -- Nitecore advertises the former (runtime to 50% brightness) -- but I've seen far too many products in this industry advertise the latter.
Bottom line is Inova's new INFORCE series military lights produce 150 or so out-the-front lumens and the light costs close to $200 MSRP. I don't see this product performing even in that ballpark. Press release = marketing speak; call me back when a reputable source produces a runtime graph and output graph.
Actually the reflector design makes me strongly suspect some 5mm's used. Even if they used premium quality 5mm emitters like the Nichia GS series, I doubt it'd have the same light output level of a Cree setup.
Bottom line is parent is correct -- It takes me 5 seconds to swap out an 18650 or RCR123. Charging an integrated ultracapacitor for 90 seconds loses by any comparison.

I've got a great idea! Why don't we have every slashdot reader go in and try to fix the broken link? Then the problem will correct itself in no time!
@wmbetts it's not?

I'm quite sure you mean ZFS. XFS is SGI's popular journaling filesystem.
