    It's a real pity Saparmurat Niyazov didn't live to enjoy the fruits of such marvelous technology.

  8. Re:Actually Measured on Geomapping Racism With Twitter · · Score: 1

    Finding which parts of the country are more infested with trolls is actually more interesting to me. BTW this isn't a troll.

  9. Re:But Tesla isn't breaking any laws on Tesla Motors Sued By Car Dealers · · Score: 3, Funny

    I'm confused. Tesla don't provide any options at all for their EV? How about clarifying this with a car analogy?

  12. Re:25 miles per hour on Electric Velomobiles: Urban Transportation For the Future, Available Now · · Score: 1

    From what I've gathered looking at forums Penske/UHaul seem to install governors for 70-75 MPH - more than fast enough. I rented a UHaul 7 years ago that did have one set at 60 MPH, though, as did others in the more distant past. Seems like 75 would be a good goalpost, fast enough to get you onto Interstate onramps and haul across vast empty spaces.

  13. Re:FOR on 'World of Warcraft' Candidate For Maine State Senate Wins Election · · Score: 1

    How'd the GP get that in? The whole post was like yelling.

  14. Re:25 miles per hour on Electric Velomobiles: Urban Transportation For the Future, Available Now · · Score: 1

    Neighborhood Electric Vehicle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Feds mandate 20-25 MPH tops but with mods NEVs can go as high as 45 MPH, the legality of this depending on locale. Literally, your mileage may vary. This only makes sense owing to the risks a driver faces at higher speeds.

    I could get anywhere in my town of 23k with a NEV at 35. There are stretches at 40 but just go into granny mode there; or does that breach the law as well? I'd guess not, what with governors in UHauls restricting speed to 50 MPH.

  15. Re:not surprising on Canadian Island's Historic Hot Springs Dry Up After Earthquake · · Score: 1

    Well, excepting areas of long-lasting sustained volcanism, resurgent calderas like Yellowstone for example, which has been active for over a million years now in basically the same spot. On an individual basis springs probably come and go, how long they stay active is an interesting question; it's been looked into I'm sure.

    The Karma will be the Pinto of the 21st century.

    The Model S - You won't be incinerated while driving! Smooth ride!

    Black walnut trees are so valuable thieves sometimes steal them with helicopters, believe it or not.

    Walnuts are nice in ice cream, too.

  19. Hey aPple on Apple Delays Simpler and Cleaner iTunes 'to Get It Right' · · Score: 1

    Can't get the 2nd FA to load, slashdotted and/or Sandy-related issues? Here's a dupe - I guess - Apple Delays iTunes Update | NBC Southern California

    Have been a Foobar2000 stalwart for years myself. Only use iTunes for managing iPods and only want one added feature - to be able to delete an item from a playlist and have that file deleted from the iPod too. You'd think that would be no big deal. CopyTransManager stands in for iTunes and has this feature but it's very sluggish.

    A competition envisions ca. 70 MPH on average: In Search Of ... The Fastest Blimp | Aero-News Network. So that would be the norm; nice for a pleasure cruise.
