I'm not sure how practical it is for any "programmer on the streets" to pay attention to this sort of thing.
Time and again it's the stupid stuff that gets us... broken implementations, not broken algorithims. Like the null terminated strings in SSL certs, or the Debian ssh keys being one out of only 64k possible.
I say this because I have to constantly hear stupid stuff from fellow programmers like "MD5 is broken!!!11". They make design choices based off these unlikely attacks, without fully understanding the real nature of this stuff.
In general the only emergent behavior of systems like roads and power grids and Internet are novel ways to massively fail, usually in some unforeseen cascade.
It also counts worthless government spending, "stimulus" and "bailouts". It counts the malinvestment bubbles created by the federal reserve pumping out easy credit. It counts the money printed outright by the federal reserve and handed to preferred government contractors. It counts trillion dollar health care pork programs, paid for not through taxes, but through the government printing press.
The hope now is that the mere illusion of economic success will lead to success. It's not going to work. The Keynesian myth is about to collapse.
"Used to" expresses the idea that something was an old habit that stopped in the past. It indicates that something was often repeated in the past, but it is not usually done now.
I wonder how you could ever tell a semantic search engine that you wanted the history of the idiom itself. Google picked it right up though, just had to search for "used to" quoted.
Semantic intelligence in the form of incoming links is pretty damned powerful, anyway.
Maybe because web devs struggle more than necessary with simple things like maintainability while the W3C tilts at windmills and lets semantic web nerds run the show?
Thanks. It's actually surprising how close my estimates came to what they think they need, since we both estimated around the same number of kilowatts (356 them vs 288 for me), they just plan on going higher voltage than I would have guessed.
But that also means they are being really conservative as well. My numbers were generous, assuming things like 100% efficiencies.
Since their number is only slightly higher than mine, it looks like they are assuming extremely high efficiencies as well.
I'm not sure how much this will bear out in reality.

We lived with non-flashable bioses and CPUs with no microcode update support for many many years. It wasn't the end of the world.
If only she was carrying a revolver instead of a cell phone.
How? Those wavelengths are longer than cell phones... you need a tighter mesh to block 900mhz than you do to block 400mhz.
The only thing I could think of would be some semi-passive resonant material... which I'm not sure exists.
the FD will not enter a building where there are known radio problems>
Where did you get this "fact"?
I've rolled my own "driver" for a rollfed color label printer before.
It's a lot of work and it sucks and you should just buy Bartender and use Windows.
I don't say this lightly, but it really is much easier. Only roll your own if bartender absolutely can't do what you want.

Actually, older houses have 60 amp service usually. It's getting rare though.
100 amp and 200 amp are more common. 200 amp is standard on new houses.
You know what pisses me off?
"Please enter your 5 digit account number.... FOLLOWED BY THE POUND SIGN"
If you know it's a 5 digit number, why the fuck do I need to hit the pound sign?

Did they fix that bug with the bad EAGAIN handling?
It applies to contractor's computers too.
Would you support banning HTTP on government computers too?
I was looking for the origin, actually... :-/

The best trolling has a kernel of truth.
But the point is that we shouldn't be forced to choose hardware based on what OS we want, or pay $40 more than we needed to.
Yeah but 365kw isn't a "couple". That's a small dedicated power plant.

Note that amp/hours should read amp-hours. Might as well nitpick myself before someone else does. :P
This doesn't sound feasible. Back of the envelope:
Lets say 20hp average power required.
That's 15kilowatts.
At 100kph (62mph), 3.2 hours for 320kilometers.
48 kilowatt hours.
Lets say it's a 96 volts dc system. That's 500 amp/hours.
500 amp/hours charged in 10 minutes is 3000 amps, assuming 100% efficiency.
And these are the conservative numbers!
Even if all the other tech were there, how are they going to move 3000 amps into a car?
That's the fallacy of the broken window..
It's a common misconception.
Oh, yeah "thenextstevejobs" is the picture of humility.
Are all linguists know-it-all assholes, or just the ones I run into on the Internet?
You've already created a black hole though. It sucks in tax money which then promptly disappears, and nothing ever comes out of it.
Would there potentially be constructive interference though? That could make it worse for neighbors.
