For the traction control, on my parent's van (2000-something ford winstar), the traction control goes NUTS (triggering randomly, even at minimum pedal, which results in it handling in a very unpredictable manner.) if you're using the stupid mini-spare on the front axle. Also, the traction control is often severely counterproductive when you're trying to get out of a snowbank.
Why does the US government have people modeled on the most hated monarchs, who drove Russians so nuts that they went "Communist" on us for 3/4 of a century, and nearly helped us blast the world back to microscopic life?
Hm? Czars were the Russian royal family, and they got kicked out by the Bolsheviks (The communists) just before the end of WW1. They had nothing at all do to with the cold war.
The cruise HP doesn't sound too far off to me, considering the low speed (70kph) he's going at. Remember, velocity is cubed. Traveling at 70kph requires roughly 1/4 the power traveling at 110kph does.
Though I still think this is a bad idea, if only due to the fact this is going to result in your headlights dimming, which is a BIG safety issue.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I was of the understanding that alternators are used in cars gather than generators as alternators are more efficient or produce more power at lower speeds than generators do.

What kind of fucking insane system do you have that this should be able to be considered a trade secret?
Yeah, I stopped about a year ago. Played their Mabinogi game for awhile, though I'm into WoW now. I still work as staff at one of the major maplestory forums (sleepywood.net), though i pretty much don't do anything in the maplestory sections.
in Maple Story the micropayments were used for buying cosmetic items to customize your character's appearance. so you could purchase sun glasses, designer shoes, hats, etc. but they have no effect on gameplay.
Which is complete nonsense now, as they do have numerous items that "affect gameplay" to a significant degree, such as experience rate boosters, drop rate boosters, an item for penalty-free resurrection (death usually results in the loss of 3-10% of that levels EXP, which can be huge (double-digit hours of training) at higher levels), pets that allow automatic looting and automatic healing (if your HP or mana drops below a set point, it will automatically use a potion if you have the item to do so), among others.
I find it difficult to believe that people cannot design and implement a reliable, electrically actuated hole punching machine usable by everyone eligible to vote in the bloody country.
I don't think you could get that much smaller for engine. The good smart has a 40HP 700cc turbodiesel.
Throwing numbers around:
2.3 square metres frontal area (60" high and 60" wide) 0.36 drag coefficient (number pulled out of the air. this is the number for a mini cooper, but it shouldn't be THAT far off) 1.293 (air density) 35.7 metres per second (80mph, highest current US speed limit)
Chuck those into the drag-energy formula:
0.5*1.293*(35.7^3)*2.3*0.36=24.3KW=32.6HP at the wheels is the absolute minimum you would need.
For any kind of sizable battery, you'd likely want a dedicated circuit anyway.
The current Prius battery is about 1.5KWhrs, so assuming a dedicated 100-120V 15A circuit, it would take about an hour to charge from dead to full, but that will only get you a few miles on pure battery.
The current plug in modification kit's battery is about 6KWhr, so 4x the time.
Sources I see on the factory plug in say a capacity between 6 and 12KWhr, and a 12 would require a full 8 hours to charge, which is getting to the limit of "charge overnight", so you might want to put in a dedicated 240V 20A circuit, like you would use for an electric range.
And you'd definitely need a dedicated circuit for a full EV, like the Tesla, as the battery pack is 53KWhr, which would take about 35 hours to charge on a dedicated normal circuit, and still 7.5 hours on a dedicated 220V plug.
If you get a Smart fourtwo as a hybrid that get's 80-100mpg for $19,000 you will have a car that will out-sell any other car in history.
I question whether it would be practical to "hybridize" that small a car. That car is already pretty close to the limit of practicality without having to add in the electric motor, a battery pack, the regenerative braking stuff, the transmission linking, etc. not the mention the not-inconsiderable weight of said stuff.
Yes, it does. Hibernate (ACPI S4. Sometimes referred to in Linux as "suspend to disk" and "safe sleep" on OSX) dumps the contents of RAM to the swap (or in some implementations (Windows and TuxOnIce), to a dedicated file) and then powers off. On startup, it tosses all that stuff back into RAM, putting you right back where you were, and it's much faster than a full boot. I think you're mixing it up with S3 suspend to ram (referred to as "standby", "sleep", "suspend", or "suspend to ram"), which just stops the processor, and spins down the hard drive, while leaving the ram populated and being refreshed.
Windows can. You can set minimum/maximum swap file size and it will grow/shrink the swap as needed, though that has a tendency to severely fragment the swap file after awhile if you don't have a sizable amount of contiguous free disk space.
Delaying is largely the point as I see it. If you're out of ram and it's eating into the swap, things are going to slow to a crawl and you'll know something is wrong, so you can look for, find, and kill whatever is running amok before it consumes all and triggers a panic/BSOD/etc.
the MPAA has effectively been making legal threats towards Real in this matter, but has not filed a suit against them. Thus, Real is suing them and asking the court to declare that their software does not violate the law, as those threats can cause financial harm (e.g. A legal threat hanging over their heads could deter potential investors).
This is much the same as the SCO debacle. SCO starts throwing around that Linux violates their copyrights, trade secrets, etc. Red Hat sues SCO seeking a declaration that Linux does not and an injunction against SCO to make them stop stating that Linux does.

You presume that the jobs "lost" actually create content, which the GP disputes.
All real numbers are complex, not imaginary.

It's a Simpson's reference.

No, things just need to transition to 64-bit time_t by then.
If you think they're going to get rid of DRM in favour of this, I've got a bridge to sell you. Betting odds say we'll have both DRM and this.

IANAL, but I'm pretty sure that still isn't theft, that's plagiarism and/or fraud.

So they effectively give off "new car smell".
I want to say verify identity with a credit/debit card
While we're thinking of bad ideas, why don't we give them our bank account numbers too?
Yeah, I know. Captchas are becoming increasingly human-proof in the struggle to make them machine-proof.
