Most everything you have said is incorrect. My civic had a meter in it to tell how much either electric power was being used or how much was being regenerated as well as a total battery level meter. At highway speeds of 75+ i could see the electric being used for things like passing or climbing hills. I would then see the charge meter go up when slowing even slightly or going down hills.
Not sure where you were getting your information but it was wrong.
Hmmm, I do have to say that OSX is great for screenshots. but really after useing it for almost a year now I find far to many inconstancies and things that don't fit together it is almost as bad as the old Redhat 6.2 days.
Another totally outdated Mac UI is the damn menu bar being always at the top of the screen rather than attached to the window. On a dual monitor setup this is by far one of the worst UI ideas ever. The distance I have to travel, both in mouse and in eye movement is ridiculous. I keep my MBP plugged into a monitor but use the MBP screen as well. Unfortunately it isn't as useful as it should be because I don't want to put applications on the non-primary screen due to the distance.
Unless you drive the exact same speed on perfectly flat ground for the entire trip what you are saying isn't true.
It is more than just regenerative braking. Every time you slow from 75 to 70 then speed back up, the hybrid engine will help. Need to pass that slow poke in a hurry? stomp the gas pedal and the hybrid will assist you in speeding up, get pass him and the recharge cycle will kick in to recoup some of the waste used to speed up in the first place.
Then you should move to a big city and live in a small apartment with other people living on top of you. In fact get a room mate or two and make sure your job is walking distance. Eventually you could just reject all individuality and do nothing more than walk back and forth to work and watch TV.
Ohh, make sure there is a park within walking distance so you can get out side and see the real, err manufactured, world.
What you're thinking about is trademark. A trademark has to be defended or it gets released to public domain. Patents are awarded and are yours until the duration is up.
That's why the call it an average. You take readings for a month of driving from lots of different people and combine the statistics together. Then you have an average MPG. Otherwise you just have a benchmarked MPG that may or may not reflect reality.
I don't know if I'm any where near ready to call vista a flop. I have only just barely seen it and haven't yet used it, but I do remember Win95 being labeled a horrible mistake, win98 a flop, WinME a flop, Win2000 a flop, winXP a flop, Looking back now the only one that really was, was WinME.
another bad for MS aspect of this would be that that list of 238 patents are very likely vague, broad and full of prior art. With them attacking OSS, a great distributed and well documented (in time line) development community I doubt it would be to hard to invalidate at the very least a large number of those patents.
Well, you see, Government has gotten so big and intrusive that they are having a hard time thinking of new ways to make something illegal. This is simiilar to all the remakes in movies these days. I expect to see this done a lot more in the government. Perhaps we should make a new law outlawing the illegal activity of murder and theft as well. You know, just to be sure.
would it be that difficult to have the valves run on a different volt/amp rating than the rest of the vehicle? change out the alternator and have a pwer distribution transformer that converts it to the 42v and 12v systems as needed.
Just to be clear I agree 100%. Just want to make sure the arguments used for why are right. Our government has changed from what it was designed to be far too much. The US government was designed to be bottom heavy. Local municipals should have the most money and the federal government should have the least. Unfortunately war has always changed that. Biggest contenders being the civil war and WWII. Civil war giving the Federal government power over the states and WWII funding the Federal government.
Don't think servo motor would be fast enough. Now a voice coil setup might. This was the same idea path that harddrives took. started out as servo controlled heads and later moved to voicecoils.

Yea, its one of my pet peeves as well. Do you notice how prevalent its' gotten?

Hell, apples apps don't even blend well with apple toolkits.

The only thing worse than not being pessimistic is thinking you're happy.
So when linux becomes the Goliath am I suppose to switch and start cheering for Microsoft? I just wouldn't feel right going with the majority.

This is true, but as an EMACS user I find quad core to be a huge boost to my ability to edit text files at a respectable speed.
But then the hybrid owner is also lowering the cleanup costs from impact to the environment. Those will be shared by all as well.
We combine both of those but also run the A/C on max.

Yea and unfortunately even when I'm not riding my bick I still have to continuously feed it bananas and bagels.
Organic power sources are not very good and are the most inefficient when not used constantly.
Actually Microsoft has a strange talent of falling ass backwards due to stupidity and landing in a huge pile of cash.

This has to work. I know I can read a page twice as fast if it is double spaced.
That reminds me. I always use to post fake passwords on sticky notes to my monitor just to see who is paying attention and willing to point it out.
