Yeah, that makes sense if your AC comes from clean energy sources. If the electric company burns coal to push electricity to your house to charge your "clean" vehicle your polluting more than running a standard small gasoline engine.
AFAIK it's always more efficient to produce the electricty closer to where you consume it.
PS. I own a 2004 Honda Civic Hybrid that I've put on 33,000 miles on. It's a great car.

How Tomcat Works
·
· Score: 1
Slowness is an issue with any type of "interpreted page" (Perl/CGI, PHP, SSI). You get that with CGI in general--needs to fork and execute external script or program). mod_perl, though, imbeds Perl into the Apache. If properly loaded on startup, you really don't have any interpretation overhead--same with precompiling jsps.
One issue, though, that Java truly has is memory usage. When it comes to RAM, Java is a pig. I'm starting to write basic jsps and servlets (go Struts!). My simple, one-application instance of Tomcat is using 28M resident memory. Apache with mod_perl and a few small apps is only using 5M. After hitting the app in Tomcat mem usage goes up to 34M, while Apache's mem usage only goes up to 7M. On another machine I have two sites with a total of 40 jsp pages. Tomcat mem usage there is at 44M. Apache on the same box is only 5M.
While Java is neat and does give you many features, it requires an order of magnitude more hardware to support it (cpu, ram, fast disk.)
Perhaps if Tomcat was written in C it would be more resource-friendly. Seriously. (No, it's not a troll.;-)
Good luck
The media focuses on these sensational kidnappings and murders. No doubt, they are horrific. But in 2001 (latest statistics I could find) you had a good chance of being killed in your US workplace. From: http://www.osha.gov/SLTC/workplaceviolence/
Its most extreme form, homicide, is the third-leading cause of fatal occupational injury in the United States. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries (CFOI),
there were 639 workplace homicides in 2001 in the United States, out of a total of 8,786 fatal work injuries.
I'd rather see a picture of what tech books are on a candidate's bookshelf rather than any certification. If the only book there is a test prep for a certification, I don't want him. If it's loaded with coffee-stained and tattered OS, networking, programming language, database, and other types of technical tomes I'm interested. Especially if I see older and updated editions 'cause he cares enough to keep current.
