    That won't help, they'll just grow themselves more heads. You need a political reform that would stop the interpretation of "right to petition" as an opportunity to buy the system wholesale.

    Theft is a negative externality we are not considering here. Parking your luxury car in certain neigbourhoods may lead to the evaporation of the whole vehicle.

    I have yet to park a gas-powered luxury car with half the tank full for the night and find the tank empty in the morning, dimwit.

    Logs don't mean much in this case, unless they show the journalist purposefully took the car out on half charge and drove around much more than he's describing. These two are quite unlikely to have happened.

    If you buy a luxury car, even an electric one, you expect it to handle itself like a luxury car. You surely should not be expected to look at the log all the time, to adjust your manner of driving to suit your battery, your route to be within a pushing distance of a charging station all the time, and to have no heating inside.

    Of course not, it uses the new, patented and exclusively-apple "Global positioning" service to switch the warming feature on and off. Noob.

    Thankfully, the laptop only needs a single Yuasa battery, an acid one. And it runs for almost a full hour off it.

  13. Re:How about the US-Canadian/US-Mexico border? on DHS Can Seize Your Electronics Within 100 Mi.of US Border, Says DHS · · Score: 4, Funny

    I don't speak for the TSA, but if I were an honest, god-fearing, terrorist-hating TSA official, hell-bent on winning the good fight for freedom and values we're fighting against our enemies, I'd be hard-pressed not to point out to you the simple fact that terrorists can embark anywhere on the US side of the lake shores, making the shoreline the first line of d-fence. It would be obvious to me that to confront the terrorist threat along the shoreline and marine borders effectively, the 100-mile freedom zones should naturally extend from the beach inland, and not be arbitrarily defined from some imaginary liberal line you call "border".

    Also, were I working for the TSA, I'd say that your soft position on the threats facing this great country makes you a help to the terrorists and a conduit of the dangers terrorism poses to the American way of life. You should repent and amend your ways.

  14. Re:Predictions? on BEST Study Finds Temperature Changes Explained by GHG Emissions and Volcanoes · · Score: 1

    No. "Fitting" is a specific statistical technique, building a model is a bit more involved. Building a model that withstands peer review is even harder. Had you tried it yourself, you'd know how it works.

    Except you have no theory to back your polynomial theoretically. Unlike you, the people who make climate models have a rather convincing theoretical backing for their polynomials.

  19. Re:This can't be true on Japan Grounds Fleet of Boeing 787s After Emergency Landing · · Score: 1

    Yes. The batteries are a part of a marketing trick. 787 is sold as a miracle fuel-saver, so I won`t be surprised if engineering was subject to a lot of pressure and made unreasonable and outright dangerous decisions to achieve the marketing goals of 30% fuel savings. This happens often enough. And since it is 1/3 "made in Japan", the Japanese airlines had it unloaded on them probably with some armtwisting. Kinda like the unsafe reactors in Fuckyoushima. As always, it is business first, safety later.

    Actually, a falling boulder can stop a bad guy with a gun. A poison dart can stop a bad guy with a gun. An electric fence can stop a bad guy with a gun. A femme fatale can stop a bad guy with a gun. Psychotropic drugs can stop a bad guy with a gun. Early intervention via counseling can stop a bad guy with a gun.

    Quite possibly so, but in a REAL, MANLY and TOTALLY UNGAY FPS, all of the above would be part of the environment, not part of the gameplay.
