Do you have supporting evidence that the parent poster is wrong? Or, are you simply a troll?
The articles I've read about emmisions in new cars demonstrate that particulate and NOx releases from power plants that have been grandfathered out of the Clean Air Act of 1968+ (and don't get me started on THAT) are still operating burning high sulfur coal without smokestack scrubbers.
Regarless, that begs the question. Is electric the future? Well, not now with Ford and GM (Toyota) bowing out. We've known the failure of the GM program for a while now. Not news.
The issue seems to be a chicken and egg thing though. How do you get an effective infrastructure of chargers distributed without the cars? Why would you build cars without an infrastructure?
A good example of this was the fad of propane-fueled autos in the 70's and 80's. MPG sucked but you didn't pay road use and it was less than half the cost of gasoline even after calculating the caloric differences.
But, you can't find fuel on a cross-country trip. So, you're stuck. A friend that converted his 81 ElCamino (in '81; a tough feat to "fool" the computer back then!) ended up with keeping his regular gas tank and switched between propane bottles in the bed of the vehicle (never call it a "truck" to his face). A Hybrid of sorts:-)
So, are hybrids a good idea? Yep, until infrastructure issues are solved.

Indeed, I have. But, its just as dead as its parent. Squeezing features into Pascal is like squeezing OO into PERL and C++. SmallTalk is the best OO language implementation I've seen so far. But, guess what? No one uses it either.
Just because you CAN doesn't necessarily mean you SHOULD (i.e. Object-C).

As you're also aware, most Comp Sci courses fawn over Pascal, a VERY formalized language. However, it's not mentioned much past education circles (and Apple afficionados).
In practice, reference counting doesn't seem to lead to memory leaks as you describe. And, I would argue it is much more efficient than Java's method.
PERL is an excellent SCRIPTING language. Larry Wall describes it as a "glue" language. XML is a good thing to glue together. It's perfect for that. Every tool has its purpose; push any too far, and you start abusing it.
Trying to find the quote from Larry Wall. I think it goes something like this: "Perl did easy things easily and made impossible things doable."

Actually, Clearcase was a stand-alone company. A set of engineers broke off from HP after developing DSEE. So, the lineage is: 1) DSEE 2) ClearCase 3) Atria ClearCase 4) Pure-Atria ClearCase 5) Rational ClearCase 6) IBM ClearCase.....
Kinda like Rational did with ClearCase: 1) DSEE (by HP) became ClearCase (new company) 2) Atria Buys ClearCase; Adds FlexLm; Starts Bloat 3) Rational Buys ClearCase; Integrates it into RUP; slows the network interface down.
Dying out? Don't think so. The FC transport being spoken about is FCP or SCSI over fibre channel. Block transfer, not file transfer.
iSCSI is the competing block transport over TCP/IP is the competing technology over Gig-E. Not really a market reality. IBM pulled their iSCSI Array off the market and other vendors such as SUNW are rethinking their iSCSI strategy.
However, there's lots going on in Fibre Channel. Take a look at http://www.spinnakernet.com/news/infostor/san_to_n as.html for a look at Storage Area Networks, Network Attached Storage, and storage virtualization.
Arbitrated loop is limited to 127 targets per loop. Most FC drives have two loops for redundancy.
FC-based arrays are typically configured in switched environments and have effectively no limit to the number of drives/arrays/hosts connected.
The primary motivation for looking at alternatives to SCSI (i.e. FC & SAS) is, as the speed of the bus increases, the length of cabling decreases and complexity increases. For FC, we're at 2Gb today and quickly heading to 10Gb. Parallel SCSI today is at U320 & headed to U640; pretty much out of steam.
SAS & SATA are equivalent; you're getting better cabling options. However, it remains to be seen whether the physical HDD specs match between FC/SCSI drives and their ATA/SATA/SAS counterparts.
It's not just a marketing difference between the two.
Jefferson said, "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with inherent and inalienable rights; that among these, are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; that to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed; that whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness." --Declaration of Independence as originally written by Thomas Jefferson, 1776.

Apple didn't have a recycle bin; They have (and always have had) a trash can.
I remember this well; I beta-tested Digital Research GEM. They got sued for copying the icons on the Mac almost to the letter. And, faster than the Fat Mac at the time.
They pulled the IDE and gave us the first recycle bin. MS simply took that idea forward.

You're missing the point; powered, controlled, sustained flight.
The article on Pearse never stated how long he was in the air. And, crashing into some hedges certainly doesn't sound like "controlled".
Note, the Bolshevik Revolution (pre-dating the Soviet era) didn't occur until 1917.

This debate is older than 1954.
