Actually, all the articles I've ever read say that the battery *pack* (~100-200 D sized rechargeables) and motor add between 600 and 1000 pounds, depending on which car you're talking about. Furthermore, they said that the electric motor is there specifically for assisting the tiny engine during hard accels. They casually mention that it's also for maintaining speed while cruising so the engine can operate at most efficient RPM, and for regen braking, but they don't make as big a deal about that stuff.
actually, it's the only hybrid ever entered. In fact, they had to convince the people to open a new category in order to allow the vehicle, because it has more than one 'engine'. IIRC, it may also have been because the other 'engine' (elec. motor) doesn't 'use conventional fuel'.
Every time new vulnerabilities are announced, they say, "don't do this, don't download that, don't use this or that program/feature/bug". Enough of this has gone on that every program that was of any use in Windows is now unusable for fear of remaining undiscovered holes/patches that didn't take.
Let's now compile a list of these to give to people in order to convince them to switch to Linux. Meanwhile, so much functionality has been rendered unusable that when the next hole is found, they'll have to tell people not to use Windows at all;-)
Blackbox, twm, even enlightenment is pretty small. I bet all of these put together would fit just fine, and each merits being included for differing reasons.
Indeed. That's why I posted what I did. It appears that the mods didn't get my sarcasm, even though I intentionally wrote in 419er style. Oh well. What can one expect from the typical/. mod mob?
for broadband?! I mean, come on! How hard is it? Hey, I know. Let's have a Rural Techification Act, and fine each of the pertinent companies $10,000,000 (TEN MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS ONLY) every single DAY that those few percent don't have access to what the rest of us have.
When E911 was unveiled, the usual privacy advocates started making noise about how it could be abused. Nobody really paid attention: 'Oh come on, GPS is alREADY in cell phones, just not as accurate, and it has the letter E on the front, for EMERgency. And besides, what do you care if people know sorta where you are?'
Well, E911 isn't even completed yet, and not only is big brother tracking everyone, they're gonna make a quick BUCK on it, for crime's sake!

WRONG! The summary would lead one to believe you can do this with present cell phones, but this is barely in the prototype stage, much less actually in use for years. If just the article submitters would RTA. Think you could do that next time?
The hydrogen would be in effect a way to store and transport the solar energy to where it is needed.
One of the most common errors people make when talking about hydrogen is calling it an energy source. In all actuality, though, it is an energy vehicle, or an energy storage medium, just like a battery or a capacitor. The original source of the energy found in pure hydrogen is whatever energy was expended to isolate it in the first place. (If you really want to get hair-splittingly technical, even that isn't an energy source, because it got its energy from somewhere, and on and on and energy is neither created nor destroyed but only changes form all the way back to the Big Bang except the Big Bang got ITS energy from somewhere...)
Unless someone here knows a place where I can get pure h2 for nothing.
Come on, I really want to know whether this allows someone to take over my machine. Besides, as an M$ hater, I want to be able to tell people 'hey, the linux kernel exploit *doesn't* allow root'. Unless, of course, it does. Does it?
Leapfrogging? If you can show me one drive that supports HIGHER -R or -RW than the + side (single-format drives don't count), I concede your point. However, that bit about having to wait up to 90 minutes to use a -RW is far worse a shortcoming than the difference in currently available speeds.

if you'd put it in neutral.
*ducks*
It seems they used a pusher to get it up to speed, since this was a top-end record they were going for.
100 degrees humidity? Sheesh...

Hey, I can dream, can't I?

They'll probably mod this down too. See ya.

(policeman) Nothing to see here. Move along.

Just, I don't know, just too appropriate for the comment...

that's not a half-bad idea! They don't really take up that much of the view from a distance, but they're white for crying out loud. Paint 'em!
Uh...yeah, you go paint 'em, I have to rush to the patent office for...uh...to apply for a...job. Yeah. Hurry up and start painting, will ya?
while not exactly a GF6800, it does use a FPGA, which may lend itself to some interesting modifications.
I can see it now: custom logic patches to change the core for extra performance on your favorite game...
It went down the porcelain throne...
Certain .cx sites are all the evidence needed. I rest my case.
Thanks for the response. Now if I can just convince the mods to return my op to its original status.

does it allow ROOT?
