Also if you believe your RAV4 has all wheel drive (as I define it) I have a large orange bridge to sell you.
Does your Rav have 3 LSDs (Front, rear, and center)? or some sort of torque/speed sensing diffs? Unless Toyota is using it's part share in Fuji heavy industries to get a hold of Subaru's tech I'd doubt it. Most AWD systems use the brakes to shift the power around when needed.
Who besides Audi(some cars not the A3 at least) and Subaru has full time AWD with LSDs so that it actually works? Using the brakes to transfer power around with 3 open diffs, isn't really what I would want. Nor is Audi's Torsen/Haldex system where the rear wheels are clutched in when the fronts slip.
Koush had his tether app taken down down by a few carriers. Despite that those users may have been paying for a tethering plan, and the app wasn't violating the market/developer terms. Anyways, I assume that this will be mostly rooting apps, and tether apps, and the like.
Plants here in the US would not have the ability to pull in 1 or 2 extra shifts of people to get the re-tooling done in a single shift. Paying the other 2 shifts double time to come in at all would increase costs.
I can't afford anything we make at work already... Granted we make custom heavy commercial and industrial HVAC units costing anywhere from brand new BMW M5 to private lake villa per unit.
Anyways, I agree when talking about things like consumer electronics and other consumer goods.
So, care to work out how to power NYC with your "floating gigantic fusion reactor"? The best number I can find is 5GW (must be the "instantaneous" load of the city). How much land do you need to provide that sort of power with the sun? What will effect will reducing the amount of light that makes it there cause? How do you provide the required night time load?
This is not to say that not covering the roofs/side/etc of all building in NYC with solar panels is a bad idea, or worthless, just that it won't provide 100% of the power with the sort of availability that we are used to. We will should try to diversify our power generation methods.
Microsoft announces that from now on, web programming should be done in HTML5 and Javascript, and screw all of you that learned ASP.NET. Adobe gives you mobile flash, Adobe taketh away.
How is that LISP or pascal serving you today? how about BASIC? or any number of other languages that are basically gone these days. How about all that "insert dead gui toolkithere"?
As for a boycott, that is just about impossible to do... Do you go out to restaurants/bars? they have a license to play music and so some of the money I pay for dinner still goes that way. Same for just about anytime you hear music in public.
Anyways, that whole looking into dirt on dickheads worked very well for Wikileaks and Julian...
Depends, Are they simply sitting there silently judging? or are they calling everyone that walks in a whore, a slut, or should burn in hell, etc? Are they physically blocking access to the facility? Anyways there are laws about where and how you can legally protest in the physical world. The issue is that as the WWW is different they don't really work there. There really is no other mechanism with which to conduct a virtual sit-in other than a DDOS.
Westborough has the right to peacefully protest and not incite or disrupt (as do all legal protests). They also have to be willing to be counter protested, or the "I'm going to stand with them and hold a sign that makes all the ones around me look silly"
Anyways, yes free speech is a double edged sword in that you may have to hear things that you don't like. I tend to like it that way.
why would MU ban an IP? those change users all the time, and are really in no way representative of a user. In fact several can use the same one at the same time (wiki: NAT).
Anyways, even if MU does get used mostly for IP infringement, it shouldn't mean that the DOJ can just shut the site down. Is/will there be some sort of due process in NZ for MU?
Are there any good games for the Wii? I own one but have probably spent less than 4 hours playing on it. TBH from what i saw of the Wii U was not much more than a Wii with an hdmi port and a controller I wouldn't want to let my kids play with due to fear of having to replace it.
As for the portable, why bother, I have an android tablet and phone, what would I need/want a 3DS for?
wait, can I pick the farming method or must I use the tradition commercial farming method? Can I hire 350 people off the street(whom all walk to work everyday) to help me harvest?
Not saying i still win, but skipping the petro-fertilizer and the tractor will be a big reduction in needed fuel.
Right. The correct solution for the current location/case. As you pointed out some of these technologies will not work domestically. This would probably benefit from larger scales than single home, perhaps a whole block, or apartment unit, and only provide the base load. There should be very little infrastructure that needs to be dealt with on that level. not much more than a largeish box in an out of the way location and some wire.
Considering the heat in my apartment is owner provided hot water baseboard heat, I wonder what the payback would be for a system like this installed for the block of 4 buildings with ~32 units each (and a small community pool that might need heat sometimes).
I would expect that a roof based system hot water system would work, it could at least be used as a pre-heat loop. The issue in Scandinavia, and MN, USA(where I am) is the same, really cold weather in the winter. The outdoor loop will need anti-freeze in it, something like 30% glycol or so around here. Adding glycol does 2 things, makes it harder to pump, and lowers the heat transfer.
The Dakar Rally, not the shitty NBC sports network coverage, with the guy that got the short straw covering it in 30 minutes a day from his desk in LA. The 1-3 hour a day "live" coverage from people on site, that actually follow the rally world and don't really stop caring once the last USAian is basically out of the rally.
a large amount of British TV just never makes it here, even though I could/would pay to see it.
too bad both of those will get me booted from my favorite tracker in seconds.... as they don't follow the protocol well, mis-report stats, and don't honor private torrents.
one word for your "solar panels on all roofs" comment: SNOW
No really, any flat roof would then need to be shoveled, carefully as to avoid damage to the panels, and to clear snow from them. Any slopped roof still collects snow, which will need to be removed from the panels. How do you plan on doing this in a residential setting without damage to the panels? Snow clearing on a large commercial building would probably make the panels not worth the cost not to mention the reduced power output anyways up here in the north in the winter.
Considering I live in a heating dominated climate, any heat output from this thing(assuming it can make say, 190F water or so, would be very very useful in a house. Use the hot water for heat instead of gas, or electric, use it as a water heater, hot air for the dryer, etc. One of these and an economizer, and an efficient AC system would probably work out rather well. This all gets even better if it produces electricity as well, but i'd even consider the heat only model.
Well I don't trust labels on black boxes... If it worked he would be willing to submit the device to a third party for testing. He would also be willing to explain the device to others with knowledge of how these things work (or don't), under an NDA so they could then say "yes it works". or at least something better than "Trust me it works great".

You are aware that corn grows just fine without the chemicals, and tractors right? you might need more people, but it grows just fine.

This is the best description of the game ever.

a small shell script and transmission-remote should sort that out for you.
how about stuff not available in your country?

or because that show/service is only available in the UK, or Australia or ${CONUNTRY} and you live in the USA.
Chrome too.
