That's a bad idea. It locks us in to oil-based products, even if they are renewable. The oil companies don't care, they just want to own the production, distribution and sale of the fuel, no matter where it comes from. And we already do something similar with ethanol, burning plant sugars, rather than plant oils.
Much more sensible would be solar at your home, and power your car from that.
Ah yes, saturated is the same definition as "vivid" yet one is a compliment, and the other an insult.
It's not that I didn't know it had a definition, but that I wanted the idiot arguing with me to think about it.
And it's funny that I'm being accused of being a shill for Samsung. I'm the one pointing out OLED doesn't actually improve screens, and Samsung is one of the industry leaders in advertising OLED. Though even Samsung knows OLED sucks, so they only advertise AMOLED and its variants.
Yeah, it's all a conspiracy to make Diesel look bad. Oh wait, follow the money. It's that the US makers can't make usable Diesel engines for cars, so the makers, not Big Oil are the ones that pushed for regulations that effectively made Diesel illegal in the US.
The only reason Diesel is popular in the rest of the world is that it's untaxed, compared to gasoline. In fact, some places it's literally untaxed, as the assumption when the taxes were written is that only large cargo trucks and farmers would use Diesel. The US has the same thing, where you can get farmer untaxed fuel which excludes the road taxes, as it's not for road use, it's just less common.
So it all comes back to the evil car makers, same as always. Big Oil gets blamed for things others do. They do evil, but much much less than the Big Oil haters assert.
Powerful elites just don't want the middle class and the poor to have a vehicle that gets that many miles to the gallon.
Yeah, that's why the Geo Metro XFI, which was more fuel efficient and cheaper than the expensive and inefficient Diesels, didn't sell. People don't want a light cheap car. People want a huge, heavy slow inefficient car. They want a house with wheels.
Your inability to see reality doesn't change reality.
GM settled for $11M. They didn't actually get fined in a judgement against them, it was a settlement. Nobody knows what would have happened. Part of the settlement was civil indemnity, so it was more like a bribe than a fine. A $45M bribe to make the whole thing go away. And few today remember it, and have to be reminded of it. Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
So yeah, the "cost" to GM for the whole scandal was less than $100 per car. Sell a car fraudulently, pay the government $100, and be indemnified from all civil actions due to your fraud. Not a bad deal.
No point having a defeat device if if it makes you advertise worse numbers.
The choice was pass the test with good numbers, or fail the test with better numbers. They chose to pass the test, as it doesn't matter what your numbers are if you can't pass the test.
Outside the US, it's cheaper to buy from the US than locally, whether Dell or parts. Though buying from Dell US could be hard for those outside the US. But back to Lenovo, I like the Y70 (touchscreen gaming laptop), but it's almost twice the price outside the US. So I'd have to buy it in the US and ship it to myself (indirectly, as all the places that sell it online in the US refuse to ship it internationally). But US prices are very different than international prices sometimes, especially for comparing corporate prices.
Even building off sites like Newegg, it's hard to match specs with Dell. They build thousands at a time, and buy in bulk. I haven't done it recently, but the last time I tried, I took a Dell, and priced out the parts to buy off Newegg, and the Dell was much cheaper than I could build the same system for. Though, if they don't build what you want, you have to build it yourself. For a while they did more options for customization, and you could get most anything you wanted, but they have baked off that, as the people buying systems prefer it simple.
Though Dell (and others, I just use them as a named example so it can be fact checked) often has upgrades for more than the price. I've bought a laptop from Lenovo with 8G RAM. I paid $20 more for 1 DIMM, so I could put in my own 8G in the other slot, as the price of RAM was about 1/2 Lenovo's price for the upgrade.
The USB serial adapters work fine for doing stuff like that. But for getting one in a laptop, the costs are higher and specs lower, at least what the moron IT manager picked. An HP workstation laptop, no I don't remember the model. I just used my personal laptop for work, at 3 years old, it cost half the one he picked (when new) and was much better (faster, more memory and storage, better screen and graphics, etc.).
Where I lived, the mailman parked on the street, walked a loop, and ended up back at the truck, and drove it 500 ft to the next street, to repeat his 3000 feet loop along the next block. The truck was never on a block the mailman wasn't. In colder climes, the boxes were on the street, so the mailman doesn't leave their vehicle.
The solution would be more fun with spud guns and self driving cars. Shoot the packages the last 100 ft, and have the automated cars get into range.
Making the sentencing of men more equal to what women get doesn't make the women lose anything - it's not a subtraction.
It is if the means of making the sentencing equal is to increase the sentencing of women to match men, you would hold that women didn't lose anything?
As I said, you've used a flawed analogy, misrepresented my argument, and assumed a whole lot about me.
You are the one calling me feminist (then denying it, as if your implications weren't clear), when I can easily scroll up and see your words and their context.
I didn't misrepresent anything. I spoke about inequality in general, and how single-issue inequality leveling is inherently flawed.
You are content in your opinion being factually wrong, and lying about it to keep from having to think.
And I haven't even gotten into the reasons why your stated "inequality" isn't.
What would you prefer when the sole care giver of a child is sent to prison? Kill the kid, to keep things clean and easy? Or make them legal orphans, sending them through foster care, even when there's someone who wants to and is capable of taking care of them? Send the kids to prison, so the primary caregiver can take care of them?
No, often the choice made is to probate or shorten a caregiver's sentence so that whatever crime they did doesn't destroy the life of the child. Yes, the "anti-crime" people don't care about the child when sentencing the parent.
And women are more often victims of certain crimes. Such victimization gets considered at sentencing.
But the MRAs *want* there to be a difference. MRA was founded on complaints about the courts. Prick husbands beating their wives, disowning their kids, then fighting for custody after they get the child support bill. It's not about equality. It's about punishing women.
When you have an interface that's universal, it has to be everything to all people. Low power, and no latency, two (of the many things) that are contradictory design goals.
I've played 2-player one-keyboard. Player 1 using 4-keys WASD style for movement, another 4 for view, 2-4 for weapons. moving forward right and looking back left requires holding 4 keys. Firing, one. 5x2 people is 10.
That's one case, I've also used games where you have 10 or more keys for abilities, and sometimes you want to mash buttons for all of them, clicking them as much/fast as you can without regard to order or precedence. But you want to hit them all. just because #10 is hit last, you don't want that keypress lost.
You could be like the idiot IT manager at my last job. He believed in standardization, and wanted his staff to have a serial port, so he required a really expensive desktop replacement laptop for everyone in the company, just so his IT team would have a serial port, and there'd be only one computer for everyone in the company for support.
Nope. For one, I don't speak for feminism. For another, fighting for "equality" for some specific things, while others are obviously still inequal is not fighting for equality, it's perpetuating inequality.
Think of it this way, you are playing Fallout, and you have 35 points to spend on SPECIAL. Is 10,4,4,4,4,4,5, "equal to" 5,5,5,5,5,5,5? Or, we'll make them equal by giving the second a +5 strength hat so the S isn't unequal. Then everyone's equal. Except they aren't.
When nothing is equal, inequality can only be measured on the whole. Picking one stat to increase for one person or class almost never increases equality. So why would you think it would in this case, when the person with 40 points in a 35 point world is complaining because he needs a speech check and wants his C to be no less than anyone else on the planet, for equality's sake?
In a 35 point world, the 40 point person will be at a disadvantage at times, but less than anyone else overall. Subtracting points from the 35 point person to make sure nobody is better than the 40 point person seems a very backwards, but is the type of "equality" you are asking for, then attacking anyone pointing out your logic error.
You are an MRA in that you are arguing on holding down the 35 pointers to make sure they never have an advantage over the privileged class of 40 pointers. That's not equality, that's privilege. As I'm for equality, I'm against your MRA privilege agenda.
What does "satureated" mean to you? Is it the most negative word you can come up for for "Vivid"? If saturated were a bad thing, why is it so hard for anyone to define it in a way that someone else can see it?
Everyone claiming OLED is better sounds indistinguishable from the audiophile people everyone here makes fun of. I know it's better, I'm not sure how, but I'm sure I know it when I see it. I'm convinced that if I swapped OLED and LCD cards on phones in a store, everyone here that hates LCD but loves OLED would say the wrongly labeled OLED phone was the best.
Ah, so you lie to support your position. I answered that, you just feed lies and insults. You can't tell them apart either, or you'd have an answer. I have mine in your inability to answer my simple question (aside from breaking open an display unit and hooking up power meters to it, or running special apps to display test patterns that would highlight differences - both proof that the display itself isn't very different).
As you refuse to answer the question, and just hurl insults, I'm done. But thanks for such a long argument when you clearly agree with me, as you haven't contradicted me once, just insulted and argued. I'm sorry that reality doesn't agree with your opinion, but when the two conflict, holding on to your opinion is a mental illness, and I have no time for willful idiots like yourself. This would have been much easier if you had just told the truth, as all your answers are summed up by "they are the same, but I prefer OLED for reasons I can't articulate".
It doesn't. It just needs to be a file that's encrypted and one that's not. You could have the tool generate it's own binary file with random contents, but that's not how the tool was made. The PNG doesn't need to be "on the Internet", it's just that when you have the infected system in Boston, and you are in Chicago, it's easier to have the Boston and Chicago systems access the same file from some public server, than to generate one locally and send it to the other system.
In regular lighting both set to black while on look exactly the same. Perhaps if I were to go to a darkroom and turn both to max brightness to then display a black screen, one may see the difference, but with adaptive screen brightness, both will turn "black" down to the lowest level in a dark room, and LCD is not nearly as bad as asserted here, as the screen on minimum brightness gets minimal light leakage.
Again, all you can present is theoretical differences, thus, I must be deliberately obtuse in any response, as the person I'm responding to was deliberately obtuse in the first place.
And most people can't tell the difference between a network cable and http://www.amazon.com/Denon-AK... Are you arguing that there is a real difference between those because *you* can tell the difference, even if nobody else can?
Simply put, I went from LCD to OLED and the OLED was not an improvement, then went from OLED to LCD and the LCD was an improvement. That's not just my opinion, but the opinion of everyone that's seen my new phone. So I asked a simple question, and nobody can answer it, though they get quite angry that I'm even asking it.
That makes me push the issue, to see if anyone can actually answer it. So far many are 100% sure I'm wrong, but can't tell me an easy way to see a difference between an OLED phone and LCD phone as displayed in a typical store, side by side. I've compared my current LCD phone to an OLED in a store, and didn't see any difference.
Ah yes, power consumption when black is the best meter. Like that's possible to see in a demo phone in a store. And how useful is that when my LCD phone has twice the run time as my OLED phone? It's a theoretical difference that: 1) isn't visible in a store, and 2) doesn't make a lick of difference in the real world
If it were easy to see the dominance of OLED, somone could point to something that can be seen on a demo phone in a store, without downloading apps to the phone, or changing the lighting in the store. So far not a single thing has met those simple and clear requirements, but people are lining up to tell me that I'm 100% wrong, but they just can't prove it, but that doesn't affect their belief in the Religion of OLED. Apparently more popular than the Pastafarians.

There is no anything, only occupied something. There is almost no place on the planet where someone doesn't have a prior claim of some kind.
Why do all the nutters object to the violence by Israel, but not that by those that attack Israel?

I'm not a fan of Dell, they just make the best example, because they are everywhere and are strong in both laptops and desktops.
Lenovo, MSI and some others make the best higher-end laptops, though Dell bought Alienware, and pushes those now.
Outside the US, it's cheaper to buy from the US than locally, whether Dell or parts. Though buying from Dell US could be hard for those outside the US. But back to Lenovo, I like the Y70 (touchscreen gaming laptop), but it's almost twice the price outside the US.

Firewire uses 1 controller for one port. USB uses one controller for 4 ports.
I have 3 controllers for 4 USB ports in my computer. Two 2.0 on one controller, and one 3.0 controller each for the other two ports.
Use a 2.0 shared for HID or printer, and the 3.0 for one storage device each, or other high bandwidth/low latency devices.
