And you again are missing the point. Rip out all the hybrid stuff and then put in the replacement items (starter, alternator, usable transmission) and you only get to cut the weight of the vehicle down by ~50lbs.
except that the simplified transmission, removal of things like torq converter, starter, alternator and huge reduction in size of engine the net gain of "all the hybrid equipment" is minimal. Usually less than 50lbs.
Exactly. It'll be awesome to be able to run an xterm in the back ground with top or sar or similar running while I do tests in a semi-transpert Xterm above the other, and be able to watch everything in real time.
And what exactly entitles you to exist in the first place? Sure you want to exist but there is nothing that has ever said you need to or there is a requirement for you to.
hate to burst your bubble but there is no such thing as a need.
What was it, in order to break an entrenched product the new one has to be 10x as good. If they came out with a key board that would automaticly make everyone that uses it type 10x faster than they did before then there would be a fairly sweping change.
And what gives you the entitlement to continue living? If you read my post I did cover this. You don't need to continue living, that is still something you want to do.
better yet it should be per transaction. That way you can over power a server without paying more for software and still pay depeding on how much you use rather than how much you potentially can use.
I don't belive in price gouging on end user/consumer items, except perhaps food but even then it would have to be food over all and not just one or two items. Price gouging can only be done in b2b comerce where one company may have a non-monitary leverage over another company.
1st law of economics before supply and demand, "You don't NEED anything!!"
reason everything is a want. You want an Xbox you don't need one. You want a car. You want to go to work. You want to eat. You want to stay alive. there is no need in anything. You may feel you need a car to get to work, but that is only because you want to work. You may feel that you need to work, but that is only because you want to eat (among other things.) You may feel you need to eat but that is only because you want to live. Even air is just something you want (albeit really bad if it's in short supply)
Second law of economics, again before supply and demand, "The world has unlimited wants." No matter how much you supply people are going to want more. Not nesisarrly more of the same thing, but there is always going to me something else that people want.
Ok now you can insert all the supply and demand stuff here...
Wasn't the first run something like 50,000 units? If they all sold at 300+ over what they were planned for that'd be 15 Million in the first 2 days of launch. Not chump change by any means.
I am 100% for the ebay market. Let the buyers set the price. If there was an ebay auction where everyone could bid on 50,000 Xboxes that would, well, be a very interesting auction.
Perhaps they wouldn't piss people off if they put out a price map. First run will be $999. Second run 2 weeks later will be $699 final run after Xmas will be $299 form then on. This way you can advertise it as pay what you want at the time that you want. If you want it 2 weeks earlier than everyone else you'll pay $300 more. is it worth it or should you just wait the 2 weeks or do you want to wait until after Xmas? Would all but stop the ebay scalping and would help Microsoft to not take a loss on the first ones sold. (ohh I'll get modded down for that I know. I can't give a suggesting that'll make MS money)
Mainly diffrent in the hybrid type. the Prius is an electric car with a gas assist motor while the civic is a gas car with an electric assist motor. Both are comparabile in the end with the Prius getting 5-7 MPG better but the Civic being slightly larger overall. My Civic only shuts off when I'm in the stoped part of stop-and-go traffic. Lose the standard cooling system and replace it with something like this wouldn't add that much more weight. 30-50lbs at the very most, and could probably engineer it to around 20-30lbs.

You, my friend, must have a very small penis.

cool, in like 50 years I can sell my septic tank back to the splenda company.

If I ever met him, I'd be like "Whang Woo-Suk, you're Wrong! You suck."
Then I'd stomp off and feel satisfied.
I don't know, maybe if I get a machine like this I'll switch from vi to EMACS.
Sense the bible told us so.

Yes this does even benifit xterms
He said he wanted to learn the language not just a few key phrases like "Tickle my willy."
I thought that the fact that geeks were revolting is part of there dependance on porn???
And this my friends is how the wiki was born.

Until then QWERTY is the way to go.

"Unbelievable. Nice link."
There's a reason for that. The New York Times???
What is the old saying?

As long as you're in the house that makes it open sores software.

I built a kitchen table out of it.

It's not really the research that has the moralists panties in a bunch, but the harvisting.
