Miles per gallon is meaningless in this comparison. Price per mile is all that matters. And even more importantly price per mile per horsepower is what matters. Gas MPG/hp hasn't changed since the 70's. I want a 200hp car that gets 35-40mpg, or a Hydrogen powered car that for example gets 17-20mpg at $1.00 a gallon or the equivalent.
I had this idea a while ago. The problem is that unlike flight sims like MSFS nobody is willing to risk the potential for lawsuits and liability that these things would generate. Nobody expects to only use a flight sim program to learn to fly but all those teenagers are to big a risk for the software companies to take, not my opinion but, otherwise there would be dozens of these simulators. I know I'd spend a couple hundred on SW and equipment for myself let alone my kid. But all those ambulance chasers out there would look past the hundreds of lives these things could save to sue the company for a few mill. because there is a potential flaw in the program.
I mean I just read an article on Robert Heinlein over at Wikipedia about how back in the sixties someone couldn't get a patent on the waterbed because Heinlein had described it in a couple of books. He hadn't even BUILT one.
Once you've entered your screenname or account # the bank then displays their password to you before you enter your password. Verifying to you that it is the actual bank web site.
Multi tool electronics never work. For multiple reasons. Say you have a PDA, Cell, MP3, gameplaying, photo device 1. battery life the more they do the faster the battery dies and you lose all five devices. 2. in order to do all of that compromises have to be made, and nothing is the best it could be. 3. price this thing is going to expensive are you really going to want to carry something in your pocket that costs $900-$1200(very conservative est) 4. multi tasking try talking to someone and entering a phone no into the pda or looking up a file on the pda without accidentally hanging up. 5. if its stolen or broken your out all five.
The ipod does one thing and does it well. We are a long way from being able to produce a device cheap enough and powerful enough to do two of these jobs well. Let alone all five
Use this as a barganing tool. MS does NOT want thousands of school kids learning OO.o and finding out about free software. If you can't get them to make the switch at least get them to blackmail MS into practically giving them the licenses. If they won't do that then someone getting kickbacks somewhere.
...ain't taking enough chances. If you are never failing it means you're not pushing hard enough. Those are the ones that are or at least will be in trouble soon.
Lets just let the whole thing be done and do something new. The problem with the trek universe is the TREK UNIVERSE every time someone tries to do something new it conflicts with the history or the prime directive or what someone thinks aught to be done. I say start fresh and different.
Why not build a small powerful space tug boat instead of a truck. Large payloads could be launched into space unmanned. Then the tug could pull them over and attach them to the ISS and leave them there, or drop them over the ocean when done if need be. The ISS gets completed faster and we have a small reusable space plane that could be used more efficiently and more frequently and it wouldn't need crew quarters or sleeping quarters it would use the ISS as a base station. It could be fitted with a smaller crew and quarters for higher missions such as to the Hubble if it is still there or whatever. We don't have to keep dragging tons of equipment back and forth to orbit. Part of the danger of the shuttle is its size so keep the reusable part smaller and safer. We could even build an unmanned parachuting return vehicle for bringing large equipment back down.
is what everybody thinks it is, as opposed to what it actually is. The ideas behind communism and democracy are very, very similar. Amish are communists in the purest sense of the word. It's just that COMMUNISM as we know is tied to Stalinist Russia, and modern China which have very little to do with the ideas of marxist communism.
When in college try not to focus all your energy in one spot especially your strongest areas. You're already good at that, if you work at that your GPA will go up.1 . But, if you work on your weaknesses, that's where you have the most room for improvement and get the most rewards for the smallest efforts.
I whole heartedly agree. I use outlook at work and Notes is by far the most useful thing to me I do tech support for medical devices and being able to take down information quickly and then easily and visually sort them is the best part of outlook to me. I can then delete the completed ones prioritize the incomlete ones and keep the ones that need to be verified. As well as keep important changing information close at hand without covering my real desk with clutter that gets lost.
Play dumb, every time you go back to walmart/Smart return the cd/dvd and complain that it doesn't work. Get a duplicate and take it home open it and return it the next time claiming it doesn't work after about 5 or 6 tries they'll just give you your money back and if enough people do it they'll bitch back up the line, and stop dealing with that particular DRM...just an idea.
The amount of carbon and oxygen in the world doesn't change but the amount of CO2 has been increasing rather dramatically since we started combining all that coal and oil with oxygen. Storing tons or gallons of CO2 underground is only a temporary fix until it leaks out, and it would be expensive to store it there. This whole idea sounds about as feasable as hydrogen as and alternative fuel.
So, a high powered rifle at a distance is dangerous too and they let the ban on assault rifles run out contrary to campaign promises. Shouldn't we ban those, or how about pretzels for that matter. This whole topic is absurd. Freedom requires risks, and resposibilities, you can't be completely safe and completely free at the same time.
The basic form of the home PC has gone pretty much unchanged for 20+ yrs now. It's speed and capabilities have increased and will continue to do so. The size of the display, the ease of inputing data/commands, the AC power, and the safety of the data, will keep it around for a long time as a base for the portable machines. Drop all your data on a sidewalk, or lose your compuphone once and see what a pain that would be.
It is censorship if government pressure causes the private company to change its mind and not distribute it for no other reason than backlash from said government.
Your Windows grammar checking software and spellchecker is a different version from the schools Windows grammar checking software. Cause everybody knows how compatible different versions of windows progs are, let alone throwing in things like OO.o!
M$ Makes every one who buys their software register it which means they have a record of who purchased it. Therefore M$ should have to contact everyone with a claim form that merely requires you to properly identify yourself. I work in medical electronics and if we did things the way M$ does we'd be shut down in a heartbeat.
...is that storing it long term is problematic. Because it is the smallest atom and H2 is the smallest molecule. No matter how tightly sealed the tank over time the hydrogen is going to leak out directly through the material of the tank. Short term and verses the normal discharge of batteries though it could be more efficient.
If we can use a scramjet, space elevator or whatever to get to space cheaper we could build a multipurpose interplanetary vessel that we could use for manned missions to Mars, Venus, Europa, Io, the Moon or where ever they decide to send it to explore. In relative safety and comfort instead of a limited cobbled together single use vessel.
This seems to be the only thing this guy is good at making a lot of noise about stuff that will never get done because with all the tax cuts, there is no funding to actually do anything like fix the schools, go to mars or build infrastructure of any kind the only thing our govt is doing is wasting what money they do have.
