Yeah, slashdot has a lot of liars. Also a surprising amount of luddites.
I can't wait for an affordable electric car. I looked at the leaf, but still just too much for me. Getting ~50mpg in a my current ride is also limiting my desire. As a second car a subcompact/compact like the Leaf would be perfect if it was just a little cheaper. I know it is just a matter of time.
This is not cheaper since you are swapping the pack. Charging at home at night will be cheaper.
Also environmentalism is not generally concerned with saving money, they would be fine with a solution that was more expensive but better for the environment.
Very few, a couple percent tops ever take their SUV off road.
They can ship the battery to where ever you are going to be.
Worst case Tesla drops the idea and continues on with the current plans. Soon batteries will charge fast enough to make this pointless. They can already do half the battery in 20 minutes, cut that in half again and the problem is essentially solved. A 10 minute stop every 150 miles is not a big deal.
Hey now, you have to be pretty IT savvy to type./configure, make and make install all in the same day. Some of us make good money doing that, don't just go suggesting everyone should be doing it.
The average CRT was crap. It flickered and whined like hell. The geometry on most of them was a total joke. Often the image bounced around too.
I have a very nice one I still use sometimes that does higher res than any LCD you can buy and uses a shadow mask. This cost multiples of the average POS crt.
All we really need at this point is the drivers. Nexus devices already offer what you want assuming you remove the google market, or just break that functionality.
Hardware folks seem pretty hesitant to provide drivers or even information to make them at this point.
I run CM on some other device and love it. That defeats the purpose of my buying a Nexus though. I have no interest in being that far out of date, because of what should be a dumb pipe.

So all the gasoline you use comes in a pipeline from the refinery to your car or is it stored at the gas station in a tank?
The station would charge a large storage system and draw off of that. Normally charging would also be done at home at night, not at these stations.
Top Tier has nothing to do with octane rating.
Man you are a stupid troll.

Your name makes good sense.

10 minutes would be good enough if we are talking a 200-300 mile charge. People have bodily functions they need to perform about that often.
Is that Top Tier gas?
Pretty much all your luxury cars should be running that, and many regular cars.
Electric cars are cheaper if you charge at night. Lots of unused power then.
You do a lot of one way long distance trips?
Just hit the same stations on the way back as the way out.
All luxury cars are a toy for the well to do. Else they would just buy a corolla.
Why does this car have to justify itself in dollars if a Porsche does not?

So don't buy those. Dell has an ultrabook with a swappable battery and the S4 seems to be all the rage.
How is that any different than an apartment? Because you own a door to the outside?
Incorrect.
White LEDs are UV LEDS covered with phosphor. That means they cannot cycle on and off that fast.
I will have to go look when I get home.
I bought it because I could always seen the damn lines on trinitrons from the wires holding the aperture grill.
Only the hourly employees use that. Us salaried folks just leave early since we earned it by skipping that and increasing our productivity.
Whoosh!
That was the joke passing over your head.
I of course agree with everything you said. I was merely being flippant for the sake of humor.
Hey now, you have to be pretty IT savvy to type ./configure, make and make install all in the same day. Some of us make good money doing that, don't just go suggesting everyone should be doing it.
There is another cause, white LEDS do not turn on and off very quickly. This is because they are really UV LEDs with phosphor painted on them.

This is about as real as wifi giving people headaches.

99% of them were wrong.
Hell, you can support multiple API levels at once.
This is because there is no market for graphing calculators outside of what the school requires.
This is why a Ti-83 still costs $100 even though it could be replaced by a $50 china tablet or something even cheaper.
So they will abandon one doomed platform for another?
How long will that last?
DRM always gets cracked. Heck I bet there is a jtag or something on there just waiting to be mucked with.
Doubtful. It will just irritate some guy in India who has to see what that was.
That is not the point of a Nexus.
