This is a parallel hybrid. The electric motor assists the gasoline engine when more power is needed. The gas engine puts out 85hp, electric motor 13hp. The conventional Civic LX puts out 115hp.
What you're talking about is a series hybrid like the diesel-electric locomotives. Completely different.
Gnome was removed from Knoppix for space reasons earlier this year, but yeah, before that you could put desktop=gnome at the boot prompt and run Gnome.
People complain about the price of gas because they pay for it all the time, but it's really a small fraction of the costs of running a car.
Assuming $2/gal and 15k miles per year (very favorable to the small car), a 15MPG SUV costs $2000 in fuel, and a 30MPG car costs $1000 in fuel. $1000/yr savings might sound like a lot, but if someone bought a big SUV because they tow a boat or trailer on their vacation, it's just not worth buying a second small car for commuting. Just registration and insurance would be close to that much.
If people complain about $2+ per gallon gas and still buy SUVs, that just means gas isn't expensive enough for people to change their buying habits. It's just the marketplace at work.
For that nostalgia trip, the last attempt at magnetic non-volatile RAM was bubble memory over 20 years ago. Sharp even made a laptop that used bubble memory for storage.
Well considering the month long vacations he's been taking at his ranch in Texas, he probably has more free time than you think between the photo ops and waving to the cameras. Any guess how far it is to drive to the nearest music store or Walmart?
That's a good idea for sure. Blockbuster Music had listening booths and let you listen to any CD in the store, but they're long gone now. Most CDs today are sold triple wrapped: the store's antishoplifting dongle, the shrinkwrap and an anticouterfeiting hologram sticker.
The article also said cassette prices would drop to $8.98 which is closer to where it should be. Cassettes don't matter much since they're extinct anyway, but it is interesting because they were sold for the same price as vinyl LPs, and just before they disappeared, LPs sold for $8.99-$9.99.
They've rolled prices back to 1988 which they could afford to do anyway since as a cartel, they can name their price. CDs are still overpriced at $12.98. They originally justified the higher prices by pointing to their new, expensive CD pressing plants, but long ago CDs became cheaper to make than LPs or tapes.
Every P2P downloader is also uploading. Even the leeches who don't share anything. If you have a partial download, the completed parts of your partial file can be uploaded to other people on the network.
Travel to work? Just as soon as they reserve the whole roof of the parking garage for your blimp. That's assuming good enough weather that you can park it outdoors.
Methanol itself is dirt cheap. It's a little more expensive than gasoline, and these fuel cells only use a 24% solution of methanol. 24% is less flammable than the vodka from the drink cart. Article says nothing about refilling, but the potential for profiteering is there by forcing people to buy prefilled fuel canisters just like with inkjets. Of course, the manufacturers will say that they just want to guarantee you the best quality fuel because who knows what impurities are in Brand X methanol mix that'll contaminate your fuel cell.
Under federal civil rules, a litigant can issue such a subpoena without prior approval from the court, but is required to "take reasonable steps to avoid imposing undue burden or expense" on the recipient.
"A litigant" implies that there is ongoing litigation, and it's normal in the discovery phase for each side to request each other's emails and internal documents that are relevant to the case.
A DMCA subpoena for copyright doesn't require an ongoing trial and it doesn't require a judge's approval. The court clerk takes care of that. However they can't subpoena your emails that way. The main purpose is to force your ISP to identify you by your IP address.
The Russians build their rockets cheap and simple, but they still couldn't launch a Soyuz for $1M (2 tourists at $500K + 1 astronaut). The rockets and capsules are refinements of a 30 year old design. So the R&D and production tooling is done. Labor is dirt cheap because of the impoverished state of their economy. There's nowhere else to cut costs with the existing hardware. There would be savings from economies of scale if they launched more than twice a year, but nothing close to $1M per launch.
Although he only hints at it in the first paragraph, IMHO the #1 improvement over Mandrake 9.0 is the bugfixes. 9.0 looked great but it had all kinds of wierd freezes, CDROM supermount bugginess and devices not being detected. I installed 9.1 and everything just works.
The Orbital Sciences Pegasus already does this. It uses an L-1011 airliner to carry the rocket to 40,000ft where it's dropped and it gets boosted to orbit. Air launching does limit the size of the dropship. Its payload is only 1000lbs to LEO.
Microsoft did this years ago with the Sidewinder Freestyle Gamepad. They bundled it with Motocross Madness, probably because it was the only game that played decently with a tilt controller. So maybe they'll make some Java games for that phone that'll play well with a tilt controller or maybe it'll just be the fad that it was on PCs.
If your network hasn't been infected yet you can be more proactive by scanning for vulnerable Windows machines instead of for Blaster traffic. Use Nessus or Eeye's free RPC scanner. Then ban any vulnerable machines. This should be done in addition to and not instead of scanning for Blaster because the "good" Blaster will download and install the RPC patch.

I feel your pain. Those hockey puck mice sure were annoying. The G4 Tower from back then used it too.
On the PC side there were plenty of cheap, low quality $5 mice with cheap buttons that wore out in a month.
Are the Marines in Cuba paying ASCAP their public performance royalties? Pirates! Pirates!

Whoa there partner. Luke Duke's dynamite tipped arrows makes him a TERRORIST in the New World Order.

It's not much of a political statement, but from a practical view, DVDs from Netflix are a much better value for your entertainment dollar than CDs.
That's a good idea for sure. Blockbuster Music had listening booths and let you listen to any CD in the store, but they're long gone now. Most CDs today are sold triple wrapped: the store's antishoplifting dongle, the shrinkwrap and an anticouterfeiting hologram sticker.
It's also 80x80 resolution. This piece of junk is about as useless as it gets.
Minors can't agree to contracts, which leaves it up to the parent or guardian.....

It's not about possession. It's about distribution, i.e. offering them for download.
In LA we just drive to the next block.
I guess it could be something like photosynthesis but with an internal light source.
