im not claiming to have RTA but depending on how fast they are going couldnt they just orbit mars while sending a smaller craft down to the planet and already be at the speed they were at when they came to mars and not need to accelerate as much? Or for that matter, get the craft started going in orbit remotely around the earth, then send the crew up and be on their way?
and your point is what exactly? not sure what you do but caffeine is as essential to us engineers as oxygen is to the rest of society, so I for one welcome our caffeine bearing overlords!
Okay, so you charge the heavy iphone users more than they are being charged now, and piss them off, charge the light iphone users less(im guessing the severe minority), or if there are equals numbers of both then maybe the loss from the light users will be balanced out by the increased revenue from the heavy users. But the thing is that ATT wont make anymore money unless most users are heavy users and if not then they will lose money. Also it seemed to me that the author thought that a change in pricing would magically make all iphone work faster. The only thing tiered pricing would do is make more work on ATT's part, because in all likelihood even with tiered pricing the heavy users will still use the same amount of data, or if they get pissed off enough they leave ATT, and the light users may start using it more because they are paying less, so in summary tiered pricing is more trouble than its worth for ATT.
in any case it not bad for one guy who was doing wireless power(essentially the father of it among other things) over a hundred years ago with no such thing as a semiconductor versus a multi billion dollar company today...
parent should have been modded troll, but anyways from TFA the 465 is for the model s sedan, a cheaper more wide spread which will make back the 465 in volume, the 1 million dollar profit has no ties to the 465.
scratch my last post, on AVERAGE they are heavier, i dont think that america was quite as fat back then as it is today, so it is the really huge women(and more of them) who are bringing the average weight up which offsets all of the anorexic women
is there a reason we couldnt simply 'wire' them altogether and actually have a petabyte drive? on that note what is the volume of that many micro SD cards? im sure you can take a good percentage off of the final volume due to having more plastic and interface pins than if they were all merged together.
um, IE is not being skewed down, that means that when people have the choice of what browser is installed on the machine they use it is something other than IE, so it could be said that during the school year IE is skewed UP
couldnt apple argue that this will be defamation, due to bad publicity of their OS not working properly on unsupported hardware, not that average consumer will care who they buy it from, they will buy the 'Quo' and dismiss macs as being as bad as they thought before hand, I am sure that this was on the top of the list of concerns for apple when they went intel,
Um, in case Apple has confused you, a Mac is made of commodity hardware. Other then perhaps EFI, nothing about the computer is a Mac, a Mac is simply a configuration of a PC installed with OS X by default.
Sure, OS X was designed with only one or two configurations for a Mac but with third party drivers its possible to extend it to almost any modern configuration in existence. There is nothing special about a Mac.
So from what your saying it sounds like basically every motherboard with the same chipset works exactly the same
Im trying to think of how this could be done so that the people using the most electricity would pay the most in taxes, i do not know how household electricity usuage compares to that used by an electric car, but if the car makes household usage small enough then we would just tax electricity but that will vary from house to house as well as for businesses which would be interesting to figure out with people charging up at work, it would probably easiest like you said to just tax everyone for the increased cost, this would raise taxes and cut shipping costs(semi's are getting the best end of the deal here)
it just came to mind that should the US ever make it to entirely electric based cars, where will the funding come from to pay for maintaining the roads--> gasoline taxes are what pay for it now, no gasoline no tax?

it need to be convenient enough that users will pay for it, i.e. integrating youtube with itunes so users can buy videos and sync it directly to their ipod, even at that it better be very cheap and high quality
