Electric motors need not be big. In fact, that's the strongest link in the hybrid vehicle system. Current power electronics technology helps a lot!
You can easily, for instance, stick a powerful motor into each wheel. Saves on transmission, weight, complexity... I wonder how soon we'll have full online hybrids, with no mechanical transmission at all. I guess it's mostly a matter of reliability.
Anti-EU people take this example to denigrate the integration process, but in fact it shows that MORE integration is necessary.
For instance the parliament still has little power, but without it this directive would have been passed months ago. Without EU at all, it would have been passed years ago under pressure from US-based megacorporations.
I'd say that even though the situation is dangerous, it shows that the European parliament is perfectly doing its job and representing the will of the European people, and counterbalancing the ivory power that is the Commission. In particular, kudos to Michel Rocard, former French Prime Minister and one of the main forces in this legislative fight. A friend of mine met him when he was just starting to discover the issue; and he was pleasantly suprised to find how he listened to anti patent arguments and quickly acquired knowledge and decided to act.
Add to that that there's no cap whatsoever, and you can run servers as you want. Additionally the modem is free, includes optional router functionnality and you can add a WiFi card for a mere 20 euros.
Oh and they now give you 1GB hosting space with no ads, PHP, MySQL, and unlimited traffic (no pr0n allowed though obviously).
That shit rocks.
You can also get 2Mbps upstream but that requires disconnecting the baseband phone line (and you have to pay ~90 euro for it).
I'm voting Green, even though I certainly don't support them 100%, on all the issues that count to me (civil liberties, freedom of information, education, personal freedoms, anti-corporatism...) they're on the good side.
You might disagree with their very leftist economic policies, but I'll tell you what, anywhere in EU and the US, conservatives have worse results than the left, despite claims of being more "business friendly."
Don't use solid state drives for whole filesystems, just use them as the journal device -- it's possible on both ext3 and ReiserFS. Remember to configure data journalling in.
The free market ensures freedom. Capitalism merely allow a few to control the mass, and therefore to limit freedom. (Yes, this is marxism rhetoric.) That's why we need government intervention to keep this freedom going -- lest monopolies form and lock it up, for example.
See, what difference in the end is there between a Soviet-style centralized economy, or a capitalistic monopoly-owned economy? Not much: the consumers/workers are screwed, innovation is stifled, etc.
Look at an hypothetical extreme end, where free market exists but concentration of capital is banned: workers own their company, and they have to compete to satisfy their customer's needs.
Through Free I get roughly 2MBps/400kbps, plus free national phone through ADSL, and ADSL TV (though I don't have a TV but it's included anyway).
There's no cap whatsoever, and in fact at some times I get up to 8Mbps download, like around 5AM. I also have a static IP for free. The main drawback is that it's not very reliable, mainly because of their homegrown set top box -- they had design their own since no OEM has an ADSL+TV+Phone set top box on their catalog. No setup fee. The only extra fee is when you cancel the line, costs you 100, decreases with time down to 0 after a couple years. Modem is free and included.

It's barely over a hundred bucks. You call that a large amount?
Bill Frist is a MD, and he doesn't know if AIDS can be transmitted through tears ...

And most people buy them online from a .co.uk domain, where they're not forced to pay the tax ...
Really, Corsican? And all that time I thought he was French!
Duh.

AC is now known to be significantly safer than DC (for comparable current/voltage, obviously) ; Edison BELIEVED AC was more dangerous.

No cap whatsoever. I haven't tried uploading stuff yet, I just got my ADSL2+ modem yestarday, but it looks like I can hit 1Mbps all the time upstream.
Through Free. It also includes TV through ADSL, and VoIP including free nationwide calls.
Talk about a breakthrough!
Prions come from mammals. We are mammals. Mars microbes would come from, err, rocks. We are not rocks.
That's in Paris and most French cities, through Free. New subscribers as of this month get ADSL2 at 15Mbps/1Mbps.
The Ximianized 1.1.2 version is quite swift. Ok, I have an XP3200, but it's quite usable on an old P3 450.
What award could Rush Limbaugh win, besides the one he already got: Biggest Celebrity Dope of the Year.
Let's have him not recoup his costs so that he can't afford to attack some powerful group anytime soon.

Hear, hear. On top of that you don't have to endure the commercials.

Floating point is logarithmic scale.
Prelinking will probably help much more for what you mention.

Yeah, a political party has nothing to do in a political assembly. Riiiight .... Can you pass on some of what you're smoking?

Quite a good deal.
