  1. Re:come on... on NY Times' Broder Responds To Tesla's Elon Musk · · Score: 0

    If anything, the discrepancy in the tire sizes would work against his argument. He states "it may be the result of the car being delivered with 19-inch wheels and all-season tires, not the specified 21-inch wheels and summer tires."

    If the speedometer assumed 21 inches per revolution when he only travels 19 inches, then the reported speed will be *higher* than the true speed. So if his speedometer reported 54 MPH at the 180 mile mark, as claimed, the logging data should show low 50's; in fact it shows low 60's.

  2. Keyboard Replacement? on Gloves Translate Sign Language Into Auditory Speech · · Score: 0

    What kind of WPM can be achieved with dactylology? Could this evolve into a replacement for keyboards?

  3. Satire Filter on What Does Google Suggest Suggest About Humanity? · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Why Can't I Own a Canadian is an article satirizing fundamentalist Christian condemnation of homosexuality (aimed at "Dr." Schlessinger in particular). This is the problem with taking searches out of context - you assume the person is asking a legitimate question when it could mean a number of other things.

  4. Re:Can't capture the same benefit twice on World's Only Diesel-Electric Honda Insight · · Score: 1

    You're missing one major benefit of hybridization that both engine types could benefit from: regenerative braking. Storing the energy by using the electric motor as a generator, rather than dissipating it as pure heat is a win regardless of the kind of engine you are running.
