    It is also the only way BMW will meet the EU emissions regulations due to hit in 2015 and 2020

    The one the other car manufacturers have a LONG way to catch up on.

    £25k on the road is affordable second car price for a lot of people.

  9. Re:Not primarily from carbon fiber. on BMW Debuts First Electric Vehicle Made Primarily of Carbon Fiber · · Score: 1

    Wrong. All the Alu is in the drive module, underneath. The CFRP cell sits on top of it - and the mix is about 70:30 carbon to plastic in most places.

  10. Re:Reality check... on BMW Debuts First Electric Vehicle Made Primarily of Carbon Fiber · · Score: 1

    You didnt see the Active-E then?

    The reason is that the 250Kg of batteries has to be made up for somehow. That is through the lighter CFRP module on top

    Up to 30 minutes, actually, and it is unpaid time - despite them actually working.

    Was that too difficult to understand?

  12. Re:Typical on Apple Retailer Facing Class Action Suit Over Employee Bag Checks · · Score: 2

    Similar protections exist in the UK; a call centre had such shitty software it could take 20 minutes for the tracking software to load, and so they made people go in 20minutes before work in order to log on. They were taken to court over this and lost.

  13. Re:The incredible irony of.. on Apple Retailer Facing Class Action Suit Over Employee Bag Checks · · Score: 1

    More likely the employee car scheme was pretty generous

    I know our scheme is where I work

    Misinformation abounds...

    This. Problem. WAS. fixed. Through a recall, and an update during routine service.

    You allow users to store important stuff on the single machine? It cannot then be important.

    Not revenge, just pointing out he isnt entitled to your money.
    Or are you saying he IS entitled to your money, just because?

  17. Re:Set the record straight on Orson Scott Card Pleads 'Tolerance' For Ender's Game Movie · · Score: 1

    "try as you might marriage, the institution, has always been between a man and woman"

    Wrong. Only in the last few hundred years or so. It wasnt even a religious institution until recently

    Ignorant ACs, who would have expected that?

  18. Re:Liberal left is bigoted on Orson Scott Card Pleads 'Tolerance' For Ender's Game Movie · · Score: 1

    He actively campaigned to deprive people of equal treatment under the law, and things gay people should be imprisoned just for being gay.

    Those ARE his actions, and those are why I exercise my rights to choose where my money goes - and it will NOT go to supporitng his bigoted actions (and yes, they are bigoted - they exactly fit the english definition of the word)

  19. Re:problem mistated. on Orson Scott Card Pleads 'Tolerance' For Ender's Game Movie · · Score: 1

    " There are many more male homosexuals then female homosexuals. "

    Love assertions of untruths. Really makes a convincing argument when your base assertion is horseshit

    Gay men are often just more *visible* than gay women, same as camp gay men are more *visible* than non-camp gay men; it does not logically require that there are "more of" one than the other.

  20. Re:Who Cares? on Orson Scott Card Pleads 'Tolerance' For Ender's Game Movie · · Score: 1

    "marriage" was purely a civil affair UNTIL religious whackos took control and decided it was theirs. (history - you gotta love it)

  21. Re:Who Cares? on Orson Scott Card Pleads 'Tolerance' For Ender's Game Movie · · Score: 1

    So gay men and women cannot form relationships?

    "whoosh", the sound of reality going over your bigoted little head

    ". For all of recorded history up to about 1990, marriage has always, in every society, meant a contract of union between a man and a woman"

    Complete and utter bollocks, has it been thus

    Even in the bible marriage has many "definitions"

    Equal treatment is being able to marry the consenting adult you love, not who society says you are allowed to marry
