The problem is that a Diesel engine is very heavy and expensive. Most hybrids are made for short trips so it would be a great waste of resources to carry around a heavy engine. Hybrid gasoline engines have a somewhat different cycle (Atkinson cycle) than normal gasoline engines (traditional Otto cycle) and thus are more economical. Add the weight savings compared to the heavier Diesel engines (especially with a particle filter) and you'll see why there are no Diesel hybrid cars - it just isn't worth it. Lorries, trains and ships are made for very long range and there a Diesel hybrid is much more practical, especially in the case of ships and trains where the Diesel engine is often only connected to the generator so it can be in its most efficient revolution speed the whole time and (because of the constant speed) have a very long life.
You are quite wrong. First, not all safety features were turned off, but only those which were safe to turn off according to the reactor user manual. Second, a SCRAM function must never lead to an explosion. Never ever. Third, the design was actually so bad that RBMK in its older version was never conform even to the Soviet safety laws.
I was one of these guys who have played doom over a null modem cable with their friends. I was 15 at the time. So were my friends. By the way, you've described my system back then exactly right.
You don't know how wrong you are. Why do you think premium car companies were bought by the big auto companies in first place? Because this shit is insanely profitable when you do it right (means making premium cars from cheap mass produced components).
Look at VW, they've got five premium brands now (Audi, Porsche, Bentley, Bugatti, Lamborghini).
Well, also not everyone plays multiplayer games. And even in the good old Doom 1 times people somehow managed to bring their pcs to their friends to play over a humble null modem cable. You are seeing obstacles where there aren't any.
Why exactly do you have to connect to the tv to play games? When you sit close to the display, the smaller size is enough. And I still remember playing many great games on a 14" display.
Not hardly. Everyone and their dog own a Windows PC. Everything else is a niche. Mobile games are seldom played, in fact didn't we have a slashdot poll about it recently?
If that is the way of things, perhaps they should actually make a LAW that details the information you need to keep on people that use your network
If you can provide information of the users of your network (like their name and address or at least their phone number) you are treated as an ISP. If you cannot, the blame is on you.
EULA may be a legally binding contract depending on the content.
EULA is not valid in Germany if it is not part of the original contract at the moment of making the deal. And even then the EULA is not valid if it is too one sided or unusual.
You are not quite right. First, since you open your network to the others, it stops being a private network anymore. Second, since an ISP can (and has to) provide the customer data to the police if a judge issued a warrant, but in your open network you'll never know who is the user so the police has to assume that it is you who breaks the law.
because, at least in Germany, you are then liable for everything that is transfered over that hotspot. If someone downloads CP or warez you are fucked.
Also, you are wrong about the addictive personality. 25-50% of adults (depending on country) smoke. Are all of them genetically predisposed? If yes, then your point is moot. If not, then your opinion is wrong.
No, my argument is that sane people value the clear mind too much to use narcotics. And acutally, not only a clear mind but also their health altogether.
they just see the guy who smokes 5g of weed per day, the habitual coke-head and the heroin addict who's ruined his life and base their image of drug users on these people while not realising that the average drug user is a fairly normal person with a regular life
how do you think those started their drug use in first place? they also were fairly normal persons with regular lives once.

Well, I never was a spoiled brat.
Schedule the computer time of course.

Who cares about game ratings, anyway?

More disposable pens are sold every day than premium cars in a decade. But guess which is more profitable.

Tea is not that bad because thanks to the tannins in the tea the caffeine is absorbed very slowly.
Also, you are wrong about the addictive personality. 25-50% of adults (depending on country) smoke. Are all of them genetically predisposed? If yes, then your point is moot. If not, then your opinion is wrong.

This is actually a bad argument, because stupid people always argue that they are not.
It is rather the other way around - sane people don't need narcotics in first place, they value a clear mind too much.

So, in your opinion, all technical progress should stop at once?
are you sure? as far as i know lasers were used for distance measurement (as a part of tank targeting systems for example) almost from the beginning.
Only if your name is Stanislaw Lem
Yep, here is a fine example of it
So, what about USRobotics then?
So the MBAs are the new Belgiums?
