And we are going to use what to ship your load of gadgets from china to your doorstep?
That model S if 50 grand and that is after the taxpayers in this country pay 7 of it. So if I went out and bought a nice car for 20 grand saving 30 grand for fuel. Not including maintenance 30 grand in fuel even at 5 bucks per gallon in a poor milage care will net you over 150,000 miles. I did not even account for the charge electricity we will assume all that coal burned to produce it was free. Now of course by then all of your batteries will need replacement which will likely half the price of the car.
Nice rant but a few simple math calculations prove just how stupid purchasing a vehicle like the volt is. In fact you might as well take 10k dollars and put a match to it.
Tesla S, sure it is a cool gadget. Does it beat the crap out of a ICE engine, nope not by a long shot. I will fill up a yaris, you fill up your tesla and we race go as fast as you want I still win. Not only do I win but do it at a 10/th of the cost.
Save the rant for your green buddies that might wish to listen.
I agree however there still needs to be a solution but we are decades away from anything that resembles anything usable.
Sounds great point me to the technology that provides this miracle you speak of? There is no doubt we have to move to some other resource the question is what will it be? On top of this issue is how to do it while keeping our economy intact.
Electric cars of today are not the solution. What you are essentially doing is converting heat energy by burning fossil fuels (coal, natural gas etc) to another medium with poor storage potential (electricity).
Sorry but I have a real problem with subsidizing stupidity.
That limit you speak of is their limit not yours. It is your choice to be limited by the employer or find someone else that will pay more, and there are plenty.
No it probably reflects on the fact that "nobody" competent and thinking clearly would want the job of managing that. You could not pay me enough to admin those systems, think about it.
I only relinquish my organs on the condition that the transferee will not be charged a total cost of not more than 20k to include all costs and services.
Chew on this, I have android versions of my apps, the market is so poor I will not even bother taking the time to hit compile. The app store monetization is at least 30 to one ore more.
Exactly I don't want to loose body parts because of some packet loss. A rc heli is pretty much a lawn mower flying upside down, getting hit by a rotor blade would not be a fun experience.
Controlling a simple rc car is a rather simple task. Lets see someone strap that system into a full collective pitch rc chopper and control it from a idevice. The idevices make for a horrible control interface for any rc application.
I will just buy it direct from your chinese distributor either your brand or a knock off.
You see all of this push to move manufacturing off shore is starting to bite back. The wheels are already in motion, why should I even pay a US middle man when I can buy direct from his source.
E85 was and still is a bad idea not because of the use of ethanol as a fuel but because the blend is not selectable at the pump. Ethanol is a great fuel but nothing but pure race engines are designed to use it to it's potential.
I managed to be the lucky one to acquire a boss written system. I ran grep across the 200k lines of spaghetti php code, the word function did not appear once. Needless to say he got it back rather quickly as I departed. I am sure to this day he still considers himself a master at application development.
If I cannot ask you pointed questions related to what I am intending to hire you for I should not be interviewing. I place far more value on what someone has done in the past, work and job history.
On one recent occasion I terminated a interview when asked such questions. Then immediately hired by a competitor the next day for twice the rate.

Oh shit yes I forgot you are also very likely to be financing that extra 30k so the numbers are even worse.

Show me I am wrong with numbers? waiting
What on earth does this have to do with politics. Sorry I am a practical person show the the ROI? Point me to this info please.

Please grant us more federal funds so that we may continue to study it for the next 30 years.

I like it, open source organ donation.

I am glad you love android, have fun with it.
My confidence in the ability of the average american to perform simple math on return on investment is restored.
Did anyone mention anything about borland delphi, or code gear or whatever is left of them?
We pointed the man to open source alternatives.
Yes lazarus would be a good choice given his requirements.
Pilot license required for operation.
problems other than cost you mean.

That sir is not a full collective pitch 3d capable helicopter.

What a jerk, just 2 billion in taxes this year?
Terminal velocity delivery is lame, slap a 20 ft long booster section to the back of that thing and hit mach 5 before impact.
