  1. McDonald's doing a real commercial which is a parody of Apple's videos with Jony Ive.

    Now THAT takes courage. On top of that, their new Suction Tube for Reverse Axial Withdrawal is a real innovation.

    Then all CloudFlare has to do is verify if the new addresses are blocked and change them if necessary, this could be automated.

    I do not recognize some of the companies in your post. What are those things called TRS-80, Commodore Pet and Microsoft?

  6. If I had a time machine and could go back in time to keep one person from being borm, it wouldn't be Hitler - it would be Tim Berniers-Lee.

    If you ask Internet "who invented internet?", you get the following answer:
    Internet Inventors
    - Robert E. Kahn
    - Vint Cerf

    Maybe it's Skynet protecting itself against a potential reverse-Terminator-style scenario, or your target is the wrong one.

  19. Typical USA thinking. The only answers are always absolutes of two options.

    Just because you can't stop the government spying on you doesn't mean you should take steps to minimize the spying that gets done. And it's not only the governments, it's all the companies going after your information and trying to monetize everything you do.

  20. We already know what it means, people posted that information a few posts earlier. It's either Colour Neutral Graphics, Cauliflower Naturel Garland, Caramel Nitrogen Gagh or Convoluted Neutrino Guacamole.

    But thanks for your additional definition.

    batteries going to come from?

    Incomplete sentence, cannot be parsed.

  22. Someone needs to search for "coal is mostly only used in third-world countries".

  23. In this kind of direct weight-for-weight comparison, you should calculate the total weight of the propulsion system with the energy source.

    Combustion engine + fuel weight VS electric motor + battery weight.

    I'm sure someone with a better knowledge of engines would probably add other components than the engine alone, like the carburator, etc.

    Also, we're talking city buses here, not privately owned cars that people use for long drives. So the usual anti-electric-cars arguments just don't apply here.

    I'm not sure how much range is dropped by adding more weight, but something the size of a bus can have more batteries than a car.

    And you don't need to charge a battery at the same speed you can fill a fuel tank. A lot of people mentioned having multiple buses in rotation. Drivers need breaks to eat, etc.

  24. You must have checked a loooooong time ago.

    Electric-car battery costs: Tesla $190 per kwh for pack, GM $145 for cells.

    That's still $125,400 in batteries if we use Tesla's prices but it's nearly four times less than you thought.
