Oops, sorry about that, you're right. TNT wasn't to blame for B5 season 5 sucking - it was the syndication network folding that caused the uncertainty. But I still maintain that, despite his denials, JMS ended up pushing a lot of the good stuff into Season 4, leaving that lame telepath war mostly unsupported in Season 5. It would have made a good B-plot, though.
TNT did kick Crusade in the balls repeatedly, though, and undeservedly so. Legend of the Rangers, on the other hand, deserves to be kicked in the balls repeatedly and continuously for all eternity.
I don't care what JMS said. Season 5 of B5 would have been a ton better if TNT hadn't let everyone think they were going to cancel it after the fourth year.
1201(c)(3). Nothing in this section shall require that the design of, or design and selection of parts and components for, a consumer electronics, telecommunications, or computing product provide for a response to any particular technological measure, so long as such part or component, or the product in which such part or component is integrated, does not otherwise fall within the prohibitions of subsection (a)(2) or (b)(1).
If you mean number of times that the battery can be recharged before requiring total replacement, then sure, there's some benefit in terms of being able to use regenerative braking to repeatedly charge and then discharge the batteries during the course of a drive. But total capacity (i.e., 600 mile lifetime) isn't a really big concern in a hybrid, because you don't need a massive bank of batteries to store a lengthy trip's worth of energy. Rechargeability isn't incredibly relevant to a pure electric vehicle - sure, you want some reusability, but the whole bank doesn't have to be recharged dozens of times per trip. The important thing in a pure electric vehicle is capacity per unit weight.
They're really two different sets of problems, and while there's some small amount of overlap, it's peanuts compared to the requirement that would result in a true transitional vehicle: a hybrid that you could plug in, so that people would buy them, attach them to the power grid, and create enough demand that it became clear to Congress that we really do need more nuclear power plants and a better power distribution system yesterday.
Today's hybrids simply don't produce that sort of sea change in government or in society, because they still ultimately run 100% on gas. The original assertion by the ancestor post was that hybrids are transitional compared to a vehicle that comes up with a way to simply save gas, but hybrids like the Prius really just do the same thing in a different way. They don't provide any impetus for the wider changes that would be necessary for any transition to electric vehicles to be made.
Perhaps a better way to address at least part of the problem would be to have a special compiler option in Visual Studio that's turned on by default in debug configs. The option would cause a dialog box to be displayed anytime a folder or registry subtree is accessed in a way that a non-admin user would be denied access.
Yeah, it wouldn't help anyone who's not developing in Visual Studio, and it wouldn't help anyone at this point who neglected to patch their copy of VS. But at least it would provide helpful guidance to some people for working with a system that has changed significantly (and, quite honestly, for the better) from previous versions of Windows.
That could always just be increased blood flow to the brain due to your reclined position, or even specifically to the occipital lobe (i.e., the back of your brain).
Umm, we just read a report that ceiling height affects detail-oriented thinking. Mmmkay? So, I'm gonna have to ask you to mount this sheet of plywood across the top of your cubicle. If you could just take care of that, that'd be really great.
Hybrids like the Prius are not transitionary, because you can't plug them in. In fact, fuel economy is the only thing you get out of such vehicles, because they still run on gasoline and only gasoline.
I'd still like to hear his thoughts on related topics like the content cabal's continuing crusade that confounds consumers' capabilities to copy in conditions commensurate with copyright law.
And if they accede to those demands, what's next? "Well, manufacturing iPods creates pollution in the first place, so we demand that you stop producing so many (or any at all)."
Better yet, we already know that Steve Jobs says that DRM sucks. Apple buying AMD could spell the end of "Trusted" Computing, if he were to stick to his guns.

That was easily the funniest thing I have read on /. in months. Happy birthday to your year-old peripheral.

Regenerative braking is old tech, and battery lifetime isn't relevant to a car that you don't plug in.

But will they have gigantic forearms?

Rather, because midwest power plants, with their nice big smoke stacks, end up dumping most of the acids and metals in the smoke on us as rain.
Haha! Take that, yankees!

The whole racist tirade against France
Since when is "French" considered a race?
It's also possible that he doesn't know how to edit the Wordpress theme he decided to use.
Nah, I don't think we're going to have to worry abHUUUUURRKK!!
2. No, but you'll gain the ability to command sea creatures.
That's great, but laws are defined in the statutes, not the dictionary.
I'd still like to hear his thoughts on related topics like the content cabal's continuing crusade that confounds consumers' capabilities to copy in conditions commensurate with copyright law.
1. What are the power losses like?
2. Will it give me brain cancer?
Your code makes me want to throw up.
And if they accede to those demands, what's next? "Well, manufacturing iPods creates pollution in the first place, so we demand that you stop producing so many (or any at all)."
These guys are worse than Darth Vader.
Plus, the opportunities for random people to get sharp objects jammed in their eye would be enormous.
Good times, good times.
