That's all you got Tiny(dick)!?!? Come on, use up another mod-point, schmuck. You'll no doubt be found shriveled up in your mom's basement with a frown on your face 'cause you never learned when just to laugh. Bet you voted for O'Donnell, too ( and both of you lie about masturbation )
That's why I pointed out "from a standing start". Not that the top speed is "electronically limited" - I'm sure I'm not alone in wondering just how fast it would be unlocked.
Its 1/4 mile times are pretty fearsome, too.
And for the price you're not giving up too much versus a Porsche 911, except for top speed ( significant difference ) and range ( if you plan to go more than 200 miles round-trip )
But it's a wicked fast pile of duck shit - it slides by you so fast, it doesn't leave a stain - and that's from a standing start. Besides, there are many overpriced piles of automotive avian ejectamenta - I'd sooner own a Tesla than any other, even a Porsche or ( although my teenage self would shudder to hear my middle-aged self say it ) Lamborghini
It's all a secret strategy by the SCO_M$ (pronounced "scums") Axis to make themselves look more respectable as they plot and plan their global takeover.

Personally,I don't think much about the Urbee's aesthetics, but's it's a transport vehicle - the exterior doesn't have to be a reflection of the driver's (or designer's) soul.
It's nice if it's beautiful but I don't consider that to be a deal breaker - there are other consideration. Also, YOU (and I) don't think the Urbee's attractive but tastes change all the time and not always for the better (I remember the late '60s and '70s - believe me, I've seen godawful taste but much of it was wildly successful)
Did you watch the video? Never mind what he said - HE INTERVENED without cause into a situation that another officer had under control. Go back and look at the expression on the female cop's face when Bubbles opens his mouth and starts spewing. Also, near the end of the video, he appears to take a full step sideways and half a step back from the forward lean of his Bad(ass) Cop posture. So, he wasn't in anyway "threatened" by the toxic detergent that the incalcitrant miscreant was using to assault the lawful authorities.
I've seen reports that claim we have enough economically viable lithium for 2 billion electric cars using current technology. Even if they're off by a factor of 10, we've nothing to worry about for a couple decades. As for the existing batteries, when they degrade to about 70-80% of original capacity, which takes years, they're no longer suited for automotive use but they still have years of useful life, as utility storage batteries. So, for a new battery made today, it may be 8-15 years before you have to worry about recycling it.
Maybe we'll have a fuel-cell breakthrough for cars by then, but let's not wait when we have viable option TODAY.
Swapping keeps coming up because it's really the best option until we invent the magical power source (call it the Shipstone, if you like). I think that for the present and the near-future, battery leasing is a business model that works in favor of the customer. I've looked into the Better Place business plan and it's well conceived. Part of the plan, as I've heard it explained in YouTube videos, is that, depending on the mileage option to which you subcribe, there's a max number of trips to the swap station included. If you exceed that number, you get money BACK - the thinking behind it is that they want to battery swap to be as quick or quicker and as convenient ( or more so ) than a gas fill-up. If you're making more trips to a swap station than you would for gas, the convenience diminishes. So, for folks who occasionally take long trips, it works to their advantage. They may drive the same total distance as the neighbor who never leaves the city, but he plugs in every night while they have to find a swap station every 100 or so miles. He might never come close to his swap station limit while the cottage-loving family might start getting refunds midway through the year.
nothing else will work in the short term. Fast charging can defy the laws of physics. If you want to have a high-storage battery AND you want to charge it quickly, you need to be able to feed high current to it. That's not an easy thing to do, especially if tens of thousands of cars are going to be doing it all at the same time in a city.
Battery swap stations with high electrical feed or perhaps with energy storage ( NaS, ZBr, whatever) will be a better solution, and would be even faster than quick charging, so long as they have enough stock.
If I recall the last episode, it's supposed to be 150,000 years ago, not millions. Since baby Hera likely grew up and mated with the indigenous species, there is a possibility of them reviving the storyline by having modern geneticists finding and isolating some inexplicable foreign DNA in the junk area of the human genome or maybe finding some unusual mitochondrial DNA ( from the Cylon mother ) in a small percentage of humanity.
Are you talking about copying from one local disk to another or to or from a network share? Anyway, there are a few Windows utilities that speed up file copying - I've tried a few and the improvement was remarkable. I don't know why M$ can't fix this for explorer.exe
Hmm, upon further review, it appears you're right. Correction noted. That said, it's still true that XenServer hardware support is broader and less finicky than ESXi. So for your homebrew server boxes I recommend Citrix over VMware as my pick for a Type 1 Hypervisor.
ESXi hardware support really blows compared to XenServer, which is a real Linux kernel. So any device supported by Linux would, in theory, be supported by XenServer. If you want to run ESXi, I'd check the hardware compatibility list carefully.
I agree. Much as I love democracy, when it comes to creating rapid change, a strong autocracy is likely more effective. A lot depends on the mindset of the people, however and I think that's the problem with America right now.
From what I've read, it's probably true about the reserves. But getting the lanthanides out of the ground is one thing; refining them into usable states isn't simple and I don't think there are any companies left in America that can do that at scale.
Go count the number of advanced degrees in the sciences that have been earned by Chinese and Indian nationals in American universities in the last 2 decades.
Now go have a look at the Debt Clock and figure out your share of it and add-in the trade imbalances. Are you still amused?
Someone is deciding how you spend your money; I'm not sure if it's you. The US has dropped the ball for decades on almost every front and while it kept the lead in many areas, it's now (irreversibly?) behind or struggling to regain lost ground. Never mind the cheap jeans - those were available at low cost from other countries long before China became a force in the American markets. What about the well-paying mfg. that were lost?
For decades, America has been enriching its enemies and opponents by voracious consumption of oil, offshoring of jobs, insatiable appetite for foreign-made, cheap goods and China has capitalized ( communized? ) on the USoA's stupidity and gamed the system with its currency policies. And, now this?
Wake up, America!!! It's time to get back to the business of making and building things yourselves. Mr Obama, sometimes you have to unsheath the Iron Fist; it can't always be the velvet glove. Block all Chinese imports, eject the Chinese ambassador and announce a free trade agreement with Taiwan, Japan, Singapore and Australia. And take some of that damnable corporate and farming welfare money and pour it into materials research so that you have alternatives or reasonable substitutes for the lanthanides ( or maybe just invent some really cool materials ).
But...... don't wait. ACT IMMEDIATELY. Screw the governing by committee. Just fucking make it so!!
At the same time, infinite, cheap, clean energy ( aka fusion) has been about 10-20 years away for about 40 years now. It's not only the doomsayers who can't get it right.
It's the new Internet measuring standard. Information transmission is measured in Libraries of Congress per unit of time ; area in football ( or is that soccer?) fields and kinetic energy in LHCs.

So, limiting the time span to the last 40 years,what would you consider good (or great) examples of first-time automotive design?

There's no accounting for taste, including yours.

Yeah, it'd be a bit contrived but it's doable.
