"An aerodynamic carbon-fiber construction keeps the vehicle's weight down to less than 110 kg"
I find this endlessly satisfying. There were a BUNCH of people on slashdot when I mentioned taking wind turbines, and moving from aluminum construction to carbon fiber for lighter weight, and everyone told me "CARBON FIBER IS HEAVIER"

Later, Pandora. Your project was nice while it wasn't commercial. People are going to wonder why they suddenly can't listen to Pandora, and I'm going to tel anyone on my network why I've got that site filtered.
I've had VLC crash several times and lag absolutely horribly trying to play 1080p video. Very unintuitive GUI and useles help file. With so much bloat you'd think they could put in a decent fucking MANUAL instead of the crap 'help' section they do provide.
Moved to Zoom Player and haven't had any problems.
The trick to stopping that (it's no longer a default setting in newer versions) was to go to the device controls and uncheck the system volume box that you found under the output options.
I played that first in a 6-pack of games (came with ultima I-VI, stellar 7, spear of Destiny, etc) then bought it again a few years ago for.99 at Goodwill. DOSBox FTW.
"But the 100 people she gave songs to, also gave them to 100 people, exponentially."
Your argument makes absolutely no sense. She should be punished for the copyright infringement of others? Why haven't they tracked down those people yet, if they have so much evidence against her?
Of course your little rules for using such a thing COMPLETELY forget about the possessive sense. 'It' is a noun and 'it's' can work not as 'it is' but as a possessive statement. Kind of like "This is a cat's dinner bowl. Here is it's water bowl."
In English the apostrophe has two main functions: it marks omissions, and it assists in marking the possessives of nouns and some pronouns. In strictly limited cases, it is allowed to assist in marking plurals, but most authorities now disapprove of such usage. An apostrophe is also used by some writers to form a plural for abbreviations, acronyms, and symbols where adding just s rather than 's may leave things ambiguous or inelegant.
What's really sad was I was taught this in 6th grade English. Now I see it only being taught as a high-school level concept.
The USA's educational system is going to shit. You might wish to get rid of your incorrect little flower.
Wow, you're a fucking moron. Same games machine is what I use to post to Slashdot.
Unless you have been in my house and know my system setup, I'd suggest you shut the fuck up, otherwise I'll continue to make you look like an absolute idiot.
I don't own an XBox. I don't buy into pay for online play bullshit. I already paid for the game and you want me to pay again to use advertised multiplayer features? Fuck you.
Did you not read what I quoted? Do you have such critical thinking issues?
I only responded to part of his statement. The part that was pretty much bullshit -
"The oil in a Honda is a physical thing. It will break down chemically over time due to age and heat.
What is the comparable process in a computer?
There isn't any."
He said there is no comparable process to physical component failure in a computer from heat and age. THAT IS ABSOLUTE AND UTTER BULLSHIT and I pointed that out. I didn't respond to the rest of his statement for a reason.
"We would not take out LAN if we did not feel we could offer players something better."
You fucking can't. I haven't used Battle.net in well over a decade because it BLEW CHUNKS. The only way I could ever get a decent game of SC going was to call my friends up and have a LAN party.
You just ripped the HEART out of your game. Fuck you, Blizzard. You just guaranteed I'll NEVER touch another thing from your company ever again.
"To claim that Window's insecurities aren't part of the true cost of Windows is genuinely dishonest. If you run Windows, and you DO NOT invest in security measures, you are a complete and utter fool."
I must be the smartest fool on the planet, then, because I haven't had any infections in several years and there is no protection on my XP machine - no firewall, no anti-spyware, no anti-malware, no anti-virus. I don't even have a registry cleaner.
Worst issue I get is a poorly designed cd crack making some of my legit "insert disc to play" games not function properly.
Just a different set of strings and a singular floor kit instead of a whole damned symphony.
Some bands certainly don't have the technical ability that's required for playing anything remotely resembling classical music at high speeds.
I've been laid plenty of times playing metal. In fact, that's how I met the love of my life, thank you. Playing some Steve Vai with only a guitar covering your genitals and doing it flawlessly will get you fucking laid EVERY TIME.
You can't score because you're too busy posting on Slashdot as an anonymous punk and you have no talent to speak of.
"I'm not sure it's fair to call kids "spoiled rotten" because they see the superiority of current technology over what was in use years/decades before they were born."
No, it's fair to call them spoiled stupid, because we're not teaching them about the technology that all this newfangled shit was derived from/inspired by in the first fucking place.
The perfect quote to highlight this: "The warbling is probably because of the horrifically short battery life;"
No, it's because of the noise/bias created as you move and external forces are applied to internal motors and reading heads. Grab the walkman, hit play, shake it around. Lots of warbling will happen. This is common with almost ANY cassette player, full-power or not.
Absolutely fucking SAD. Wonder what he's gonna do when that EMP wipes out his digital life?
I'll be grooving to home-pressed vinyls on home-made turntables, if not playing a true analog instrument.
"I would invite you to submit yourself for medical research -- human hearing peaks at about 20 kHz."
In fact I was one of those studied when I was in 1st grade in Texas - I could accurately pick up 32KHz frequencies played in these massive headphones placed over my then-tiny head.
Now I have a gap in my hearing, between 16KHz and 18KHz I can't hear a fucking thing, but can still pick up about 24KHz reliably.
"I want terabyte USB thumb drives, not yet another mechanical storage device."
Phase Change Memory to the rescue! the same glass substrate used in rewritable optical discs turned into a solid-state solution, with a couple of orders of magnitude more read/write cycles than current flash today.
2.5" laptop drive holding about 5TB of data and being able to access any of it at above SATA-II speeds isn't even the start of this technology, FYI.
No, it would likely be easier to run the water through the cooling system of the engine after the engine heated it up and then pump it into the injection system - mind you this is about the only place in the entire vehicle you're likely to get the energy required to separate hydrogen and oxygen at any good rate without running a second alternator off of the engine and dedicating it to mass hydrolysis.
Of course, this means you'd run out of water for cooling the engine sooner or later, or needing a much larger water tank added. I think I'd rather need more fuel capacity than cooling/water capacity.
We'll have to deal with companies like Monsanto (or your mentioned Coles & Woolworths) first if you even want this idea to come to any sort of fruition. That little stranglehold they have on genes in plants is one major obstacle to a plan like this.
I leave my wallet in my front pocket, even at home. See, guests might have that urge to go snooping through other's stuff - My wallet stays on my person unless I'm in bed or in water.
Then I better correct your inaccuracy yet again, because we do have nickels, in fact it was called that by EVERYONE because of what it was made of at the time - nickel!
Even Ghana called it a penny, and officially by putting it on the coin itself, and this happened before Ghana's 1957 independence from Great Britain.
