The thing is, you could have the vehicle plugged in at night which would make the plant generating the electricity lots happier. Less use of the expensive and inefficient generators used at the peak usage time, more usage for the cheap(ish) and more efficient base load plants, like nuclear. Night time usage is also cheaper in someplaces.
This is also something that is going to happen in Finland, too. Damned if I know why, there is plenty of evidence and experience from abroad that doing this will fuck things up rather nicely. I'm guessing someone is planning on starting their own delivery company or ath the very least has plans on getting paid handsomely by such a startup.

And it is only Gates, ferchrissakes. There really are people who can't write His Evil Highness' name by now?

Oh, someone think of the chiiildru, um, aaadults! Why on earth is that foul concoction gaining in popularity? I wouldn't even call it horsepiss because actual horsepiss might feel slighted.
If anything should be named a WMD and then start a war to eradicate it from the face of the earth, it would be budweiser. And I do mean the american stuff, yes.

There is a standard for that, USB OTG (on-the-go).
N810 supports it (not a phone, unfortunately), don't know if N900 does.
Ought to have been better prepared if you go kicking a nest full of hornets...

Is it just me, or does that product name (FIST SCO2) sound, you know, a bit weird?
