  2. Re:let's give an inconvenient answer on Bay Area To Install Electric Vehicle Grid · · Score: 0

    You're comment is so full of holes that a slice of Swiss Cheese would provide more shelter from the cold. Really if you want to do the environment a favor STFU because people like you are why environmentalists get little respect and often do more harm then good.

    Okay so here is what is wrong with your comment from bottom up:

    In the absolute worst case (For the electric version).

    So 150 miles is the worst case range of an electric mini cooper, or at least the average range? Um hmm this quote really says that right, "Mini says that ... with regenerative braking provides a 150-mile range" Yes, of course mini cooper wouldn't want to give us a high range figure to help sell there cars right. Am thinking that actual drivers will get around 100 to 120 miles out of the 35 kilowatt-hour battery and less if they use fast freeway miles where regenerative braking is useless. Yeah, this sounds like the worst case scenario for the electric mini. I haven't even touched how a 35 kWh battery gets 35kWh from a power plant at 100% efficiency.

    New MINI Coopers generate an average of 6.7 tons of CO2 in 15000 miles
    6.70 tons == 13,400 lbs
    Electric Mini: 2.095 lbs CO2 * .233 kWh/mile == .488 lbs CO2/mile
    Gas Mini: 13,400 lbs / 15000 Miles == .893 lbs CO2/mile

    Um, where does a Mini get 6.7 tons of C02 per 15,000 miles on the above web page, none of them get that, Clubman S and regular S get 6.8 tons, comparing the S to the gasoline version in worst case for the electric version is unfair, especial since the model used to get CO2/miles of electric version is unknown and certainly different then the EPAs. To be more fair to the gasoline mini cooper NON-S gets 5.8 tons per 15,000 miles which comes out to 0.773. Also a diesel mini cooper gets better C02 per mile. Also the EPA assumes that you will use your AC which BMW probably does not account for in it's MAX range estimate. Yes, the electric mini does have AC.

    I am not evening going to touch on how a mini cooper charges it's batteries at 100 percent efficiency from a power plant many mile away. Yes, I realize that to be fair gasoline takes energy to get from the ground to your tank. Looking it over it is possibly that a small car with gasoline engine could get better C02/mile then a small car with an electric engine powered by coal. I how ever doubt that it would be twice as C02 efficiency, even given the right biased calculations. But these does not excuse you because you said worst case for the electric which you clearly are no where near calculating. And I am too lazy to calculate especially since I know that there will be plenty of holes in my calculations.

  3. Re:I remember a time... on Future AMD GPUs To Be More 'Open-Source Friendly' · · Score: 0

    I think they don't give stuff away because of too many fskin' hobests and college students ordering "Free Samples." When they had no need for more then one or two chips. Also the price war on I/Cs is insane, so it makes sense to save money on not giving away free stuff to people who will never even order 100 chips at a time. I'm sure if you worked at an electronics company that was known for making orders in the thousands. You could call up a sales rep and get a $150 dollar Dev kit for free; just say that your using it for the company's next project. If they play hard ball give'em some story about how hard it is to get a P/O filled at your company ;)

    Electronics Digi key, Mouser, etc are the only real answer for low production electronics. What sucks though is when you release the magic smoke from a chip and realize that you forgot to order a few spare parts, and the S&H is going to cost you $15 dollars on a $2.25 part. I now always buy spares which has the added benefit of having extra parts availably for quick projects. Well, if you can find them after a few months.

  4. Will this cause Global Warming?? on Palau May Get Satellite Power In the Next Decade · · Score: 0

    I'm thinking if beaming a high energy beam through the atmosphere is really a good idea. If the air is not fully opaque to the beam it will absorb enegry from the beam which would warm the air and the earth. Also it might cause chemical reacions IE smog. I am thinking that someone has done research on the possible harm it might do???

  5. Re:The Transisor's Significance on The Transistor's 60th Birthday · · Score: 0

    hmm, You got me thinking. What if we hadn't invented the transistor, or rather a transistor, no FETs, BJTs, etc.
    Well, How small could one theoretically make a tube? IE, could we still make ICs. I don't see any reason why the tube couldn't have gotten smaller. It's just a coil and plate in a vacuum. Given today's MEMS technology. I'm guessing that one could with some work fit a few hundred; possible a thousand on a chip of dip 40 form factor. I realize the power consumption would be off the charts and one would need a big heat sink. But not outside the realm of possiblity

  12. Apache out of the box may not be as fast as IIS on Apache vs IIS in Performance? · · Score: 1

    I don't know if an apache is slower then IIS. But if it is there is a lot more you can do to speed up Apache and linux then you can for Win2000. First recompile your kernel and trim it down to a lean mean web server and don't forget to to put in a little khttp in there. Then edit your init scripts and take out every thing you don't need. If you really want every last bit of speed recompile your kernel, all your libs and Apache with optimized code for your CPU(s). And don't forget to set up apache for full performance.

    I think that should give a apache that little extra boost.
