Win10 on something with so much grunt? Why turn an expensive system into a limited toy? If you need to run MS compatible stuff MS Win7 and various MS server systems are available.
Well then if they are burning coal, why the brownouts?
Storms blew the wires down - so a couple of blackouts (not low voltage "brownout" events that happen in developing countries with struggling electricity grids and the USA). It's kind of funny to have an American being critical of Australian power transmission even on a bad day. Maybe you should complain about things closer to home that are in a far worse state?
And thus the "right" shows that King comes before country and George Washington can go fuck himself in their eyes. You know why it's a bad idea, you are just pretending that it isn't because you want to continue to follow Dear Leader.
Yes you do - you just prefer to "win" over honesty even with something so utterly trivial as not knowing a technical detail of something outside of your field. So much evasion, distraction and an appeal to authority over something that just does not matter - showing absolute and utter contempt for people unfortunate enough to read your little word games.
Funny thing is that was Nixon's plan way back, and then Carter's after the oil shock. A huge amount of foreign oil money got donated to both parties to stop that sort of energy independence so now we spend a far larger amount giving free military support to the Saudis.
That reminds me of reading that one of the problems in 1906 was buildings built on top of landfill. The ground almost acted like a liquid in some places - not good for structures on top. Simon Winchester wrote an excellent book on it (although some would be annoyed that he diverges into a lot of other topics in that book).
Why twist yourself into knots with word games? Of course it isn't.
Or are the brownouts more fake news
Not "brownouts", blackouts when the transmission towers blew over in storms. "Brownouts" as such don't happen over here it's either blackouts or full power and not undervoltage events that you have as a legacy of very old parts of the system that haven't been updated. When Hurricane Sandy hit you had fires because high voltage was bolted to wet wood!
A very important thing to note here is that an argument about electricity is just being used as a weapon in a fight between two political parties. Another important thing to take note of is the Australian electricity "market" is a rather insane very artificial construct based upon the Enron era Californian market (where they DID have frequent brownouts) being used mostly by fully government owned corporations to collect taxation by stealth. Ironically South Australia is one of only two states where it has gone almost fully private yet they are being attacked politically as if they were communists. The other is Victoria, where the federal government is applying a lot of pressure on private company to not close a very old (1960s), completely uneconomic brown coal fired power station to - not really possible since it's falling to bits with an expected design end of life of around 1990.
Nearly every MW generated in power stations in mainland Australia comes from burning coal.
Why not powering a goalpost on wheels then since there's so much motion going on? Instead of so much deflection why not move onto something else? All the mistake showed was that it was outside of the field of things you know, nothing worse - just a petty "beige box is the hard drive" sort of trivial misunderstanding - why so much effort to "win" and to try to convince someone like me who has read far too many of your posts to ever respect you?
One thing to note is that Australia got to their sad state by using some of the alternatives.
The vast majority of the electricity generation by in Australia is provided by burning coal. Perhaps it's best to consider reality instead of assuming that most Aussies live in Bartertown getting their electricity from pig shit.
I did some work at a place with some very old (and very small for coal) 60MW units that had a few problems for a few years. Every time one went down the distributor immediately blacked out the same small city a couple of hundred kilometres away. But as another poster pointed out, the answer is no - it's not actually a generator even if the size is right.
What they have created is a system that doesn't handle disasters or unexpected conditions well
The political opponents of the SA government argued that, incorrectly, then went very quiet when the same problems hit the NSW government two weeks later. You've been fed politically motivated partisan bullshit. I suggest looking at it in technical terms instead of political rhetoric.
Anyway, at the heart of it is a stupid attempt at fake competition in the electricity market that is based on the idiocy rampant in California when Enron was robbing everyone blind. All it takes is making sure that the gas turbines on standby have the gas they need to do their job, instead of some weird after last minute bidding on gas and electricity prices, and all the "stability" problems go away barring once in decades storms blowing lines down (which is what really happened).
So you are a bare faced liar putting Party before Country then instead of the clueless child you are pretending to be? Stalin would have loved to have someone like you on his side spreading his propaganda. Now that I think about it, he did have a lot of them - wonder what happened to them? The people you are lying for won't thank you.
Besides what was the question I was supposed to answer little running dog to a traitor? I missed it in all your ranting about how your traitor and thief was serving his country by supplying weapons to Islamic terrorists that had killed over a hundred US Marines less than a year before.
I'm just not trying to play this whole "systemd will eat your children and rape your pets"
It's the exact opposite. Criticism, even mild criticism, even when the actual developers see it as a mistake is shouted down time after time by idiot fanboys blowing shit out of proportion. Are you going to act like one of those idiot fanboys or are you going to stop using lines like "systemd will eat your children and rape your pets" in response to a discussion about a real flaw that Lennert also sees as a real flaw?
the input is checked and acted upon
It should be but it is not - that is the problem here. Someone else above provided a link to the bug report. Perhaps you should take a look at it and catch up on the subject being discussed instead of some sort of uninformed rant.
If you have an electric motor, and computer controlling the speed, driving the wheels and the output of the transmission, and an ICE, with the same computer controlling it's speed, then the computer can match the gear ratios exactly with each gear shift
Close, good idea if not new and you don't need a computer: Scroll down to "Design". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VK_4501_(P)
I'm only making a fuss about it because you did a goalpost shift to pretend your really stupid comment never happened. No point trying to "teach" me about something most people on this site are more aware of than yourself.

No.
Definitely not.
Nothing like it.
"Wouldn't it be nice if you all had jobs again" is not an idea, and empty stuff like that is all he has.

You wrote:
"Israel may have been a courier"
I suppose a lie or an utterly insane fantasy is nothing when you are cheering for a traitor.
I didn't get it from them. It wasn't some convenient "little people" to put down - it was the legal system.
Seriously?
You think intelligence work is like that?
The lowest, newest grunt in the military has more background on the topic than an office worker.
And thus the "right" shows that King comes before country and George Washington can go fuck himself in their eyes.

Only revisionist lies and an insane fantasy about Israel supporting Hezbolla.

I wrote several myself as did many others.
What is it with you fanboys?

The clutch it still there, doing it's job, whether the pedal to stop it doing it's job is connected or not.

Some of those, and ships (notably submarines) do exactly as you suggest.
Just give up - the clutch comment was stupid.
