It doesn't matter how much more expensive it is to buy politicians here, the Canadian government will without fail just follow along with what ever the US tell it to do. Why else would it sell oil lumber and power to the US at a loss?
Cables also get stuck. Used to happen all the time in my old 87 corolla. Was never a real problem I just popped the gas to unstick it, and if I had to I could have held in the clutch or shifted to neutral.
You see! Toyota has had these problems for over 20 years, they just cant cover it up any more.
3 HP is a pretty conservative number for maintaining highway speeds but it illustrates the point very well. To charge in 6 minutes using (euro) household voltage you would have to pump 625amps into it. The cable required for that (by electrical code) would be 2cm in diameter x2 conductors. Not something your average non-superman can lift and bend.
To get the current down to a manageable level and the cable to a reasonable (3awg) size, you would have to put the voltage up to 1500votls (100amps). That leaves you with the electrical equivalent of a loaded gun. A very high potential for ark flash or instant BBQ users. They are going to have to come out with a seriously safe/automated charging station for these cars which is more then likely to offset any savings of owning the car in the first place.
I have a W500 that is 2 years old now. The battery still lasts 3 hours when browsing, its still as fast as the day I bought it and it doesn't have any worn or broken hardware on it. Maybe the T series was built less tough then the W but I have not babied my W500 and it is a perfect running machine.
The article I linked to talks only about handheld devices but the law does extend to any activity that takes your hands off the wheel. If you are in an accident and you were eating your McMuffin the charge will be added on.
Touche. Road dirt is pretty much the same colour as rust, I didn't think of that.
Jeeps only flip over if you drive them like a car. When driven like a tall truck full of heavy tools they tend to go in nice straight lines with out rotating about its z-axis (or x depending on your convention).
The malibu does seem to be the better choice in this case but the instant cloud of rust around the Bel Air makes me think that it wasn't 100% mint condition for this test.
The power output on this is still pitiful. His system is supposed to give him 8,721kW hours per year (see his installation article). So that means the numbers work out like this if you wanted to know how much you could power from such a setup.
That is less then 1 regular circuit (8.2962 amps on a 120 volt load). That is just about enough to power your fridge given that it cycles on and many times a day. 38,000$ is a lot of money to spend running your fridge.
The real reason this works for him is that he was taking it in the hoop from the power company and he has that "green mentality" where quality of life can be compromised in favor of "being green." He would have probably saved more in the long run if he invested the money (some where that didn't tank in the past year) and just turned off lights and switched to lower power devices. For the average geek power consumption of desktop PCs routers, battery changers and home entertainment equipment exceeds the the total amount of power generated over the year, its just not worth it for the average person.
The condition of the lock has as much to do with it as your skill as a lock pick. If it's an old dirty lock you might as well yell at it untill it opens. Brand new locks or locks that have been cleaned (with liberal amounts of penetrating oil) work better then locks that have years of grime in them. As for the hardness of the keys both I made (with a file and some eyeballing) are made of the same (brass) as any other key.
Bumping seems like it could escalate if left unchecked any longer. Most locks will open to it and the only way to protect against it is to get rid of your old locks and replace them with a new one that is bump proof. When I first saw bumping (about a month ago) I wanted to try it. I picked up a 7pin lock and a triangular file. I filed the spare key into the sape of a bump key ( I pretty much eyeballed it ) and on the second wack of a screw driver handle the lock opened. Yet again the internet changes a mild nuisance into a campagn of fear.
Parent is not a troll, green peace, peta and the like are very much terrorist but because they are "saveing" fuzzy animals and forests no one calls them on it.
Did anyone notice the average time spent for AOL? It was double that of the next longest below it. I belive this is even more proof that AOL users are just plain slow.
Nice article but I dont know why any one would want to game on a laptop. With the screen and keyboard so close together thats a back problem waitign together. I would like to see how the mac desktops size up adainst say a dell or HP desktop.
The building woudl be activly passign those signals though, they could jsut as easily choose to pass pager signals on as they woudl with emergency signals. But _on_is_own_ the paint will block everything.
Its not an active interfearance, its passively blocking. If any one who passivly blocked RF could be fried by the FCC then cars would have to be made of plastic and all underground paking would be required to have signal repeaters.

That sounds like something a poor person might say.
Ran fine on windows 7, not that it was really entertaining just functional.

Right in the BELL (and probably rogers) TOS it says you can not use your bell connection to host a server or any kind.

Turn your manometer around, you are looking at the wrong side of the U.

(((8721 kW) * 1 hours) / (365 * 24hours)) = 995.547945 watts.

Play some doom 3, that will fix you right up.
Agreed, ask any trades person if their job consists only of work discribed by the name of their trade.
This just isn't right! They changed the results by observing them!
There ya go, they were charged for financing terrorism. http://www.libertysecurity.org/article283.html
Now if they could power their ships on ego or stupidity then they would be wearing the clever pants now wouldn't they.
