  1. Re:My 1978 Mini gets over 55 mpg on Hybrid Drivers Provide Real-World Mileage Data · · Score: 1

    here in europe gas price is MUCH more EXPENSIVE than in the US. In Portugal, were i am, we pay 1.10 euros for 1 liter of unleaded 95 octane gas. 1 US gallon = 3.7854118 liters. So, we pay 4.16 euros per galon!!! (1USD=0.777EUR) that's 5.35USD per gallon!!! these kind of prices are normal were for decades, so the manufacters are used to make economical cars. My volksvagen Polo has an 1.4 liter engine with 75HP, it gets to 118 miles per hour if needed, and I make 6.5 liter per 100Km ( 35.29 miles per gallon ) in road at 80 Miles p. h. and these are not good numbers here. any 1.9 liter TDI engine makes 30% better, but i don't really like their noise...

    Lots of people are working on that fiel right now... From the portuguese ISR to Samsung. For an introduction on the subject I recommend the 2004 book, Soccer Robotics from several Korean autors, edited by Springer. http://www.springeronline.com/sgw/cda/frontpage/0, 11855,5-40109-22-29677021-0,00.html Like many HAL2000 related predictions somebody will discover some very dificult challenges on the way.

    i also liked Contact (the movie) but Occam's never studied ANTENA THEORY.

  5. Re:TV is actually worse than movies... on TV Piracy is Next · · Score: 1

    And what about old series? I'm from Portugal, and if i want to see one of the Monty Python's episodes, i'm doomed. It's not being broadcasted in any crapy network, and if i want the DVD it's not for sale... So... there's no other solution.
