I'm wrong eh? Feel free to show me the existence of a efficient electric hub motor suitable for a car.
go ahead, I'll hold my breath.
You may want to try and learning something. Specifically check out a torque/speed curve, and thermal limits. There is a fundamental power density problem with low speed high torque electric motors.
Or you can just continue walking around being an idiot.
Thanks for the laugh. As a product designer I love seeing those marketing tag lines "Apple's dedication to over-engineering drives innovation in this space ".
Actually Apple's misguided over engineering only drives up cost. High-end packaging is exactly that, a luxury. And last time I check wallmart was the supply chain world leader, not Apple. Any way you slice it the best packaging is the cheapest that get's the job done, and most of the time that's the greenest solution as well, real efficiency cost less.
The energy density on air tanks is very poor, lower than lead acid batteries if I remember correctly. Also compressing large volumes of air is prohibitively expensive.
Compressed air at gas station is ~50cents, per liter @30psi
Framing your comment in that light, I have to say I completely agree with you. The problem with privacy topics like this is that it tends to churn up the Luddites. If we can clearly identify ways in which a technology shouldn't be used then by all means let's discuss regulation.
But I don't recall seeing a right not to be seen in a public place anywhere in the bill of rights.
From my real world experience most people don't mind Unity. I even use it at home. Just stick a terminal somewhere and it's just as good as any other "dock"
The only people who care about packaging are already apple fan-dweeb.
IMHO the best packaging is the cheapest package that gets the product to the user safely. period. Anything above that is just art students masturbating on each other.
It's good that Dell caught back up to 2007... but who the hell is buying Dell branded equipment in 2012? It'd be nicer to see a MS licence rebate for doing a clean linux install, now a model program like that would be news.
Amazing ruling but there's no way it's jumping over to US and it probably won't stick in the EU for long.
There's just too much money to lose. Take a big soft company like PTC/ProE or MathWorks/Matlab, they're selling multiK licenses for software that never really goes out of style, but they withhold the right to revoke licenses, forcing you down their upgrade path. They would have to completely restructure their business, that's not going to happen.
If i am to believe your anacdote (some one should get that lady a house call) people are already "working the system". How would you fix it? remove the system?
So because you don't have a vayjayjay you think your healthcare should be cheaper.... but you still think it's a good thing to have?
I believe you're extremely confused about how insurance works. Yes we all pay for the pregnant drug abuser with lung cancer and heart disease, but insurance is still a good thing to have.
I don't plan on crashing my car, and it is annoying to write checks to cover my insurance (sponsoring other peoples bad driving), but it's good to know that IF i do get in an accident I won't go bankrupt.
How about we establish a free society where innocent people don't get forced to do things like eat turds?
That sounds like a good idea for turds, but for healthcare, controlling pollution, or hiring people it doesn't quite work like that. The key thing your turd of an analogy is lacking is the personal benefit, the universal nature of healthcare and it's impact on the society as a whole. When you get sick you will get healthcare whether or not you paid for it, or can pay for it. This burden gets passed onto the society. What Obama care is trying to do is make this burden more transparent.
While this maybe a turd of a piece of legislation, it is clearly a start in the right direction.

Interesting take on the topic: So your augment is that we need inefficiency to limit the enforcement laws?

HUB motors are not inefficient. And on top of that they don't need any gearing at all.
You're funny. Low speed performance of any electric motor is very inefficient.

molested every day for the rest of my life? Yes.
I know some people who would pay for that.
You're building a death tent.

Conflating property seizure with Face rec...
Might as well through in rape and murder too.

Let's legislation facial recognition technology, ie. you can't tell your friend if you recognize someone. Brilliant.
More over don't you guys have something else you need to be doing?

'who ISN'T buying dell'
89.3% of the market
And they only lost 11% of their market share... Looks like they're getting dangerously close to the 'others'.
News flash: Dell has nothing to due with the hardware or BIOS in the laptops they sell.
It's good that Dell caught back up to 2007... but who the hell is buying Dell branded equipment in 2012? It'd be nicer to see a MS licence rebate for doing a clean linux install, now a model program like that would be news.
Finally I'm one set closer to getting apps on my smart tv box.
I always knew journaling file systems were evil.
Not a story is not a story.

Too bad though Ubuntu won't be using GRUB2
How is health insurance against your own interest?
