That is because you never drove it slower.
You might get better mpg at 60 then at 55 in a few cars due to odd gearing but you are not going to get your best mpg at 80 due to headwind as drag increases greatly above 65.
When the guy who broke into my house steals it from me, I don't want it to fire. In a confrontation where my gun is taken from me, I don't want it to fire. If the mechanism was 99% reliable and reasonably durable I would want it.
"So Black and Decker were able to use computers to design a small permanent magnet motor, but NASA itself was using what for the F-1? Was NASA ordering envelopes by the carton for their back-of-the-envelope calculations?
I think for some that may be true. For me a mix works best. 2-3 days a week in the office, take in person meetings, see problems first hand that need that treatment. Then the rest of the time working at home, on my BETTER equipment (such as multiple 24" screens vs 19" screens) and getting quiet time. I save 2 hours a day commuting of which usually half gets turn into more office work and half gets turned into more free time for me.
While I agree that something like hashcash would be good for reducing spam, it would also burn more real world electricity. Spammers would do it via botnets, and all of the hashing for all of the legitimate emails will add up as well.
There are almost no electrically powered freight trains in the US. Besides metro/light rail systems, the only electrified rail in the US is the Amtrak northeast corridor line.
Bad comparison. The A380 usually fits 550 people. One carrier uses a economy only configuration that holds 800. That is not a normal configuration and the 747-8 would hold more then 600 with the same seat spacing.
Most likely the problem is NOT in the charging circuit. Most probably the batteries are wearing out more quickly then spec and becoming more sensitive to charging within (but near the edge of) spec. There may not be enough battery monitoring going on to look for anomalies that could be detected and stop the use of the batteries as they degrade.
In the end they are really going to regret using lithium ion batteries. The extra containment they need when they fail is going to make up for the weight savings over NiMH.
Apples market share is not shrinking when you consider real tablet usage. Apple is only shrinking when you take the number of manufactured crap tabs vs Apple with no regard for the fact that most are stuck in drawers, thrown out or turned into photo frames.
The $99 tabs do not compete or even take real Apple market share away, the only thing that really competes with Apple is the Galaxy Tab.
He would only need to prove that it there were lies on her part that were substantial. He would not need to prove the entire review false. He would not need to prove her jewelry was not stolen.
Statements like "I think he did a poor job" or "he was rude" are acceptable if true and hard to disprove.
Basically you are lying by omission. There are over 1200 coal plants in the US and the vast majority of them are dirty. Only a handful are fluidized bed and even less are doing sequestration. The only thing you have said is basically true is that coal plants have scrubbers. Coal is dirty as hell and I stick by my original statement.
"clean coal" is propaganda by the coal industry used to allow them to continue burning coal in EXISTING DIRTY PLANTS. They should not be able to tout the technology as if it is widespread until it is in widespread use.
Maybe in 5 years though unlikely. The only class of machine Apple would even be considering switching away from Intel is the Macbook Air line and I seriously doubt this will happen soon. The best ARM chips are about as fast as the worst desktop x86 chips commonly used on the market. The gap may shrink a bit, but x86 is going to continue to improve.
No, Motorola wanted a very much inflated rate due to Apple's deep pockets and the bad blood between them. On non-FRAND patents they are FREE do this. They are not free to charge Apple whatever they want. Motorola wanted more then 10x the going rate for the FRAND patents.
The few cents per device is normal for FRAND licensing without cross licensing but that turns to zero if you are cross licensing a similar amount of FRAND patents. The problem has come that some patent owners (Samsung, Motorola) want to charge unusually high rates for FRAND patents to Apple take advantage of the large profits Apple is making. They have even tried to get Apple to pay for 'exhausted' patents such as on radio chips that Qualcomm sells Apple. Qualcomm has already paid the licensing fees for the chips, Apple should not have to pay a second time.
Everyone may not like Apple and I do partially blame them for this patent war, but they have not been treated properly on the FRAND patents.
Considering that the trademark was 4 years before Apple I would say it was just arrogance. Apple seems to behave as if courts will automatically award them rights because of their size and the fact that everyone knows who they are. In many cases this is exactly what happens. This time it did not.
That calculation of failure rates is way off. They have had 1 in 4 rockets with a defective engine, 1 in 16 could on average have TWO defective engines. You can not take the failure rate of a single engine and work that way. They have 9 engines in the first stage of each rocket and that multiplies the chances of failure. We also do not know if they just got lucky that the explosion in the engine as it did not take out any other engines. Exploding engines can take out other engines as well.
While it is great that the engine out capability worked as planned, this is something you do not want happening often. A failure without an explosion once in 20 flights might be acceptable but the explosion with fragments greatly changes the equation.
SpaceX is doing great things and I congratulate them on another success.

They paid the most because their market is undeserved for high end games.

In Soviet Russia, space explores you!

Actually the Steve Jobs quote would be "your flying it wrong."
Well they certainly were not kind to the Woz on looks in this movie. Go back and look at the Woz in the 70's not today. He was a good looking guy, arguably better looking then Jobs. Aston Kutcher does look like Jobs in some of the other pics, remarkably so. http://images.intomobile.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/steve_wozniak_steve_jobs11-660x465.jpg

The words CLEAN and the word COAL should not be allowed next to each other until at least 10% of the coal plants are actually clean.

Most offers like that are made as an offer of settlement and do not admit infringement. Aren't lawyers amazing?

No, Apple did not say that. They said they would be willing to pay $1 per device WITHOUT a court order.
Considering that the trademark was 4 years before Apple I would say it was just arrogance. Apple seems to behave as if courts will automatically award them rights because of their size and the fact that everyone knows who they are. In many cases this is exactly what happens. This time it did not.
A single lightning strike has about 5 billion joules of energy or enough to run an entire household for a month not just one bulb.
