A smaller solar array could charge the batteries as the car sits in the sun all day while I'm at work, and would provide enough power to drive me home. This is assuming I can't plug in while I'm at work.
"but they have been consistently for it and voted for it."
Which makes them worse if you are against it.
Remember, the dems flipped FOR it, and the dems against it are still the majority (of dems)
Geez, I get the feeling that some people are going to get the repubs are somehow better because they didn't flip from their wrong view. Maybe ordinary citizens who are against it will now vote republican just because they hate flip-flopping, regardless of how repubs are voting. The mind boggles.
The story's narrator is a "logic" (that is, a personal computer) repairman nicknamed Ducky. In the story, a logic named Joe develops some degree of sentience and ambition. Joe proceeds to switch around a few relays in "the tank" (one of a distributed set of central information repositories analogous to servers on the World Wide Web) and connect all information ever assembled to every logic, and simultaneously disables all of the censor devices. Logics everywhere begin offering up unexpected assistance, from designing custom chemicals to alleviate inebriation to giving sex advice to small children or plotting the perfect murder. Information runs rampant as every logic worldwide crunches away at problems too vast in scope for human minds.
I regularly read/. and do not use linux so I didn't know who he was until I RTFA. My point was: why did the summary not have a link instead of assuming we all know who he is? Wasn't meant as a flame.
The fact that they line up for nothing, making them little more than a flash mob...
OR
That this story gets media attention at all and has anti-macheads all in a sweat shouting "sheeple!" and trying to put various political/religious/fanboi spins on the story?

The power wouldn't be sufficient to power the truck directly, but could help with charging the battery.

The Lightning GT (YA electric car) has an engine sound synthesizer built-in. Adding a little vibration would be trivially simple.
Because of course nobody knows where Calgary, Alberta is ;-)

Isn't that the usual approach when other brands are equally vulerable?
Or is the Mac no longer the big prize it once was?

Will be interesting to see if it's as good as I remember it ;-)
this has been a real eye-opener!

OK, but the alternative is to vote republican, and they are even worse.
should read "getting LESS than the Republicans"
Also interesting to note that the Dems who switched votes are apparently getting than the Republicans
$8,359 to each Democrat who changed their position to support immunity for Telcos (94 Dems)
$9,659 to each member of the House voting "YES" (105-Dem, 188-Rep)
A majority of Democrats are still against the bill (105 for-128 against), whereas the Republicans almost unanimously support it (188 for-1 against).
From TFA:
All House Members (June 20th vote:)
Verizon, AT&T, and Sprint gave PAC contributions averaging:
$9,659 to each member of the House voting "YES" (105-Dem, 188-Rep)
$4,810 to each member of the House voting "NO" (128-Dem, 1-Rep)
Except people like me who know Kung Fu.
...thereby causing a short circuit in their newly implanted retinas.
I, for one, welcome our delayed telephonic overlords.

No.
