Well, bullshit, we heard their message and said "no".
Except in the 2010 and 2012 elections, where we resoundingly said "yes" in the legislative elections. Or, rather, we said "no" to the false promises and failed policies of the Democrats and went with the only viable alternative.
They tend to be either regular cars retrofitted with electrics, which suck, or tried to hard to make a futuristic or different-looking car, which sucks.
Very well stated, and may apply in Germany. But in the US, you need to look how our copyright is designed.
You do actually buy something - but not "the game" as such. You buy a license. After you have purchased that license, it is yours.
You buy a copy of the game, just as we have bought copies of books and music sheets. That didn't give us the right to make more copies, because that right to copy (with limitations) was reserved to the copyright holder. But it did give us various rights concerning the copy we bought.
In the US system, by default there is no copyright. Everybody can do whatevery they want with your creations. However, for the purpose of the advancement of arts and sciences, the Constitution allows the government to create a temporary, limited monopoly on the work. IOW, what copyright law grants you, you have. What copyright law doesn't explicitly grant you, you don't have.
Many times in the past, the attempt to over-reach the power of granted copyright has been dismissed. This is how we get the doctrine of First Sale. Once that copy is sold, the copyright holder has no further power over it. They are trying to get around this using the concept of licenses, but remember that copyright is the only thing that prevents us all from using their stuff legally without their permission. They need to work within the realm of copyright, and that means selling copies of their products and accepting the limitations copyright puts on their power. Otherwise, we should just take their stuff because they obviously disregard copyright too. Can't have your cake and eat it too.
Of course, it would be nice if the laws strictly enforced this, but then they are the ones buying the laws, not us.
Some audio application like VLC player will allow large power output through speaker, approx 200% to 400% of original sound output.
Dell provides an amplifier of a specific power output and matches it to speakers with a specific power rating. How can software drive that amplifier to push more than its maximum power?
Currently, Honda is citing the lack of filling stations as the main barrier to expanding the Clarity. Like Tesla, they see a partial solution in home refueling. They're aiming for full production in about five years.
Tesla is also addressing their battery availability issues and is building their giga factory
That's just for Tesla. Now think if all cars were battery electric. Absent a drastic increase in capacity, I don't think it's workable.
The nice thing with my Tesla is every morning I wake up to a full tank.
Which brings us to another problem, residential load. Residential neighborhoods were created with only so much capacity, the older, the worse off. Now everybody's going to be pulling 40 amps overnight on their 240V? Tesla does have an awesome system on their scale, but serious issues need to be worked out before battery electric becomes widespread. The issue here being about renewables, you know a major renewables issue is power being available overnight. Proponents are counting on a lower night load when solar can't provide. Large-scale home charging upends this calculation.
A few hundred people in a highly localized controlled test is not remotely the same thing as scaling up to worldwide scale.
Irrelevant. The cars work great. The only problem is price, but that is only an economy of scale problem. Telsas cost a lot too, and are rather popular. If only they didn't have those ultra-expensive batteries.
There will be adapting and investment no matter where you go but running substantial amounts of high voltage power to a location currently served is a problem than has long ago been solved.
Delivering fuel to fuel stations is also a problem that has long ago been solved.
An electric charging station does not have to be where a gasoline station is currently (again no pun intended).
Unless electric cars get far better range, yes it does. Gas stations are where they are because that's where people go to fuel their cars. You need the equivalent, but electric. Or hydrogen.
and the downtown area of my town (pop 6000) has 4 electric car charging stations
It has four 120 kW charging stations? Not likely if they're not Tesla. Remember, your target would be your town having at least four 240 kW charging stations, an extra megawatt (how much power does a town of 6,000 use otherwise?).
Even then your charge time to half capacity is still five times a gasoline or hydrogen fill up to full capacity. And remember, they don't suggest using those fast charge stations too often since they are hard on battery life. If you want normal full charge you get to wait hours.
Tesla is a small company with limited negotiating power.
If you want to think of it that way, GM, Ford and Toyota have only a relatively limited use of batteries in their lineups. With even this limited purchase of batteries by the big makers, Tesla is finding it hard to get the batteries for their cars. So imagine GM, Ford and Toyota going full electric, all cars using much bigger batteries. We are very far from having that battery manufacturing capacity.
Hydrogen powered cars face three obstacles - one technological and two economic.
Hundreds of people in California are driving around in Honda hydrogen powered cars and loving it. Fill up at the stations they've installed takes a couple minutes. Even better, hydrogen doesn't require over a thousand pounds of extra mass to be accelerated.
The second economic problem and the real killer is that there is no fuel infrastructure in place
There isn't for electricity either. You have to build high-amp charging stations and in many places change the electricity infrastructure to handle them. One car in a Tesla charging station is pulling 120 kW. If it has five slots, that's 600 kW, over half a megawatt of power for ONE station. If you get your below ten minutes target, that's over a megawatt used at each full charging installation. That rural gas station most likely does not have a megawatt of power lines going to it.
Now imagine if these got very popular. This country has over 100,000 gas stations.
Every vehicle made already has at least one battery in it and it wouldn't be all that complicated to scale up production unless there is some sort of raw material limitation.
Tesla is already running up against battery availability issues. That's one little company selling a relatively small number of cars.
Parent painted it as the GOP is in the hands of industry while the Democrats are for the people. That is incorrect. They are both in the hands of industry.
What about Democrats? Rep Debbie Wasserman-Shultz, now chairman of the DNC, was a cosponsor of SOPA. She was acting entirely in the interests of the people, right? Democrat Patrick Leahy introduced PIPA in the Senate.
You need to wake up. Both parties are in the pockets of huge corporations, just different corporations, with a bit of crossover. Sometimes their interests line up with ours, that's all.
Which is why the fact that they are building a parallel case should be relevant and should be revealed to the Defense.
Even the prosecutor doesn't know about the parallel case. If the prosecution, defense and judge don't know about the illegal parallel case, then nobody's going to ask that the information be delivered.
It might just become standard practice now for defense attorneys to demand any parallel case information. That will put someone on the line for misconduct sanctions, and be good grounds for appeal, if there is one and it's later discovered.
Libertarians aren't about freedom (positive liberty), they are about (negative) liberty.
I've seen this terminology thrown around before. It's a nice way to try to control the debate by using loaded terms. You forget that your so-called "positive" freedoms always require an increasing amount of authoritarianism in the government and thus a decrease in real liberty.
You have the ADAC, the national automobile club. They have yellow cars and trucks running up and down the roads constantly, and in a breakdown you call them and get helped fairly fast. They publish a yearly list of the cars they have to rescue the most. It's more helpful than any other metric of reliability. It's like getting that tow truck driver advice from most of the tow truck drivers in the country at one time.
It's the peace prize, not the anti pedophile prize. PJPII did a lot to help topple the iron curtain, and he was the first pope to really reach out to other religions, including Jews, Muslims and Buddhists. He was the first pope to visit an Eastern Orthodox country since the split a thousand years ago.
You're the hypocrite ignoring time scales and geographic location. Not me.
Again, I'm not the one who dug up past history. You brought it up, so that idiotic idea is fair game.
Still trying to weasel your way out of your hypocrisy?
You have yet to identify any hypocrisy. Or, maybe you just don't know the definition of the word.
If your host country broke it, it bought it
My host country was in the past responsible for wars, colonization and outright genocide. That didn't give me the right to break their laws in the present day. I was a legal immigrant, I have family that are legal, so I have every moral right to complain about illegals, no hypocrisy.
If their countries suck then they can immigrate legally. If they don't feel like immigrating legally, then they have no right to complain if they aren't welcomed with open arms. Don't insult a people and then expect to be treated well.
So until you first demand that reparations be made for coups from Chile to Honduras, take the "illegal immigrant" bullshit and go fuck yourself.
After the Russians make reparations for Cuba, and Cuba for helping Chavez ruin Venezuela. Of course we need to pay reparations for more wrongs for that. I get some of the Native American money. Looking back, I see I should be owed money by the Germans, British, and more. But then I'm descended from Germans too, so I guess I have to pay myself. I feel really sorry for blacks who are descendants of former slaves of Native Americans. They must be really confused as to how reparations are go.
The idea of reparations for past wrongs is for the feeble-minded.
A company withholding information from a competitor is a natural information asymmetry we understand as normal and even necessary to capitalism.
Preventing workers from discussing salaries is is not. These are two actors in the market who want to exchange personal information (not information belonging to the company) in order to improve their position in the market, and a third party (the company) prevents them from doing so in order to improve its position against them.
In your case, they are allowing it. Sure, your documents may be technically expired but the government has allowed you to stay, so you are legally in the country. Should they want you there even longer I'm sure you can get your documents updated to reflect your status.
Legal immigrants are welcome and valued. A good chunk of my immediate and extended family came here as immigrants legally. However, I do understand that our immigration system needs a serious overhaul.
As for Europe, you have applied for residency so they are allowing you to stay pending a decision, so you are legally in the country. If the decision is no and you don't leave, then you're illegal, so GTFO. In Switzerland if you can't learn the language, then GTFO (that should be everywhere). When I was there I applied for my residency and work permits, was granted, and lived and worked there legally. I don't have much sympathy for those who don't bother to do that.
there is no way your self-centered ass is in compliance with the various treaties the U.S. has signed with the native tribes
Still going on ancient history? In case your comprehension is lacking, I am decended fairly recently in my family line from one of those native tribes. I guess I oppressed myself.
We have a country now, they entered illegally. They deserve no consideration for reaping the benefits of a crime. If the illegal commits a crime he is entitiled to full legal process, then GTFO after it's over. Otherwise, upon determination of status immediately GTFO. That's what my host country would have done to me had I been there illegally, and rightfully so.
Manning had no idea whatsoever of the contents of several hundred thousand classified documents he released. By definition he could not be a whistleblower for the release of these documents.
You are talking about extreme outlier cases that can always be resolved because the person is in reality a citizen. You specific case probably doesn't exist.
You know as well as I that almost all cases of "undocumented" people involve illegal aliens. You know that when people speak of "undocumented workers" they are referring to illegal aliens, not the 90 year-old lady on a farm. You know that these services are not targeted to the 90 year-old lady on the farm.
