    Because even the worst coal fired plant is leaps and bounds better than any traditional ICE.

    Why would you ever charge at peak power rates?
    Charge at night, when power is cheaper.

    All hybrids do that. Even my cheap insight keeps the engine RPMs in the most efficient range.

    It means buying a whole other engine for limited use.

    I guess rentals could work, but it would still be very expensive with the limited market and the fact that this trailer would need to be far more built up than a normal one for safety during a crash.

    $0, they are covered under warranty. None of them is yet out of warranty.

    $2500-$4000 will likely be the cost in 10 years or so when they start needing out of warranty replacement.

    Your landscaping was done incorrectly. Even then the solution is to cut the plants or pull the roots. Why should you getting rid of some out of place grass allow you to pollute our waters?

    Claiming too?

    I have 0 windows machines in my house. They are flat out not allowed. The fact that I do not need some of these applications makes that easier, but it is clearly not impossible to do.

    The code we want has nothing to do with Windows. Wine would be far better for everything you are talking about.

    Not at all, I use a great many computers that have no X at all.

    You can even login and fix the issue unlike a machine with a borked registry.

    In fact we do not allow root to login via ssh.

    Sounds like bad practices on that one. Developers should not have root access, normally they will just break something.

    Config file files are easy to edit and simple to automate. They are also generally well documented.

    The registry none of those. In practice stuff gets thrown all over the place based on the programs creators with often no good way to automate program setup.

    Windows is broken by design, I have no desire to run it.

    I disagree.
    What would they do if the one dev died?
    Then likely even 60 days would not be enough to get his replacement up to speed.

    Any company that has employees it cannot lose deserves this.

    If there is a DRM module/driver in the kernel we are there already. TC must control the computer to do any DRM.

    Windows users have already crossed this bridge with trusted content path.

    Only since 2008, might have even not been until R2 came out. Which is quite recently in the grand scheme of things.

    I view hardware based DRM as far worse. It means I literally cannot trust my computer to be mine anymore.

    I see nothing wrong with it either, if it does not infect my computer. If you want to sell me a separate box, fine. I do not however want my computer to be owned by someone else.

    Sure, but an open source DRM kernel module would quickly lead to a broken implementation being added to most Distros.

    Yeah, people put $500 in escrow when looking at houses all the time. How much earnest money is put into escrow depends highly on location and value of property. It should ideally also reflect how much a buyer wants the property.

    When I bought my house I put a lot of money in escrow. When is that not the normal method?

    If such a module existed there would be nothing preventing me from modifying it to dump into a file.

    Unless you think I am going to be loading a closed source kernel module for DRM. That would be even worse.
