Why is that obvious with an EV? High speeds, yes, but "acceleration"? With decent regenerative braking, that shouldn't make nearly as much difference with an EV as with an ICE vehicle.
I'm not sure where you're getting that idea from. The Pruis seems pretty reliable (apart from a problem with the #13 cell terminal corroding) but modern turbodiesels can do astronomical mileages. Taxi drivers love them.
I'm pleased that they acknowledge that a motorcycle will spank a hybrid though. Better motive technology is only half the issue; there's far too much dead weight being hauled around the roads.
not sent by Epic themselves but rather their trigger-happy crack legal team
With all due respect, that's complete and utter apologist bullshit. Anyone on Epic's payroll is Epic. Nobody forced Epic to pay legal attack dogs, and nobody else was responsible for them doing what they were paid to do. Epic are not the victims here.
Hey, I heard that Ubuntu going to be switching focus to 10.x next year as well! STOP TEH PRESSES!!!1!
Do we actually have anything to talk about regarding Windows 8, or is this just another thread where we trot out all the usual "ZOMG evil Micro$oft abandonware bloated faked figures blah blah blah"? Because that's getting kind of old.
me play modern marfare 2 not so good because me have thinky trouble. me lawyer friend make activision give me special button i press make me win easy. now me win every time make me happy. everyone should have lawyer friend make everyone give you what you want then everyone be happy like me.
What I don't get is the passion for using a new word to describe an ancient concept. You're probably new around here, but we used to call that timeslicing on the mainframe.
It reminds me of the lowly tomato, a member of the poisonous nightshade family of plants, which for years was considered to be inedible. These days you can't get a salad without it.
That's not even remotely true. When I'm driving a car load of drunken cheerleaders to the abortion clinic, and I stop off at McDonalds, I enjoy an unequivocal Constitutional right to shoot the McMonkey in the balls if he puts tomato in my salad after I've told him not to.
I like "OPS" as a description, but then again, I'm not a consultant trying to wring money out of clients by selling them old rope labeled as Multi-Threaded Redundantly-Bonded Fully-Flexbie Linear Load Bearing Facilitator.
I've still to hear a cogent explanation of how running your own servers can bring you the main "cloud" benefit, i.e. only paying for the resources that you actually need.
I didn't say that it was simple. I said that it was a design choice. We do apparently agree on that, we just seem to come to different conclusions about what it means for PC games.
If not the government, then who? Saucer People? Mole Men? It's not a crackpot conspiracy theory to accuse the government when they've the most likely candidate, especially when they confirm it for us by stumbling into action to investigate the leak.
Hmm, £168 is cheap? Well, I guess if you enjoy paying money to hang out with little kids then it might have improved. As I said, I bailed when it was pay-to-win, and didn't go back to see if they'd stopped beating their customers. I guess you loved them enough to change them.
Let me translate for you: the "interception" here was by the government. The "security issue" is that somebody in the government leaked that info, or (less likely) that it was swiped by someone outside the government. The real "issue" isn't that the info was leaked, its just that it revealed that the government has it.
The problem isn't that the government is unaware that pager (and intartubes) communication is insecure, it's that the people are now aware of it.

Except in the UK, where diesel is slightly more expensive, I assume because we don't have a rabid farm lobby here to force prices down.

+1 Funny. Star Trek is, of course, an historical document.
By which I mean that purchasers won't have time to find out that it's a useless POS trinket until it's too late to return it. Nice.

My God, are you actually suggesting that we murder readers of Murdoch's media?
If so, where do I sign up?

Linux makes aggressive use of RAM to buffer files, so free will usually report much more memory being used than is actually required.

If you want to render that in English, some subjective interpretation is necessary.

Sign me up to the "OPS" meme.
You did get to touch your secretaries though. Man, those were the days.
You know that Occam is cutting himself in his grave right now, don't you? Along the wrists.

Ah, logic. Logic is the beginning of wisdom.
Aren't you supposed to wait for us to developer warp technology before you make first contact?

ORLY? I guess if I kept cutting off my limbs then you'd say I was losing weight successfully? Technically true, but hardly a strategy of choice.
