  1. Re:Translation: on BMW Says Electric Car Mass Production Not Viable Until 2020 (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    You are the one who is clueless here (as so often). The objectives of a company are whatever is written in the corporate charter.

    The election was obviously rigged, just as the previous one. There are enough videos that show it.
    There is no doubt that Putin would have won the election either way, but the real numbers wouldn't be nearly as impressive.

    There is actually a Russian meme about election rigging, called "146%", which was the voter turnout for the Rostov region for the 2011 parliament elections. A few other regions also had their voter turnout higher than 100%.

    angel'o'sphere is German, I don't think he'd use such an idiom. I am German myself and while I understand this particular euphemism, I only know it because I had to look it up once and I certainly wouldn't use it because it feels very alien to a German.

    Who the fuck modded that crap informative?
    The recovery - which is not that impressive - has nothing to do with the nations being allowed to control their own land. Once the USSR collapsed, the economy in both Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan dwindled and so did the population - of Kazakhstan at least (Usbekistan had a little dirty civil war instead). That is the only reason for the recovery.

  6. Re:How to use diesel in a hybrid on Ford's Badly Needed Plan To Catch Up On Hybrid, Electric Cars (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    It is not used because it is inefficient. Diesel electric locomotives (and very large mining trucks) are this way because a conventional transmission would be far too large and heavy and would require the engine to be used in a large range of engine speeds. Smaller diesel trains do use a conventional transmission because the fuel consumption is lower.

  9. Opera is faster and several web extensions that were poor substitutes for the addons I have used previously didn't work with Firefox at all because apparently the Firefox implementation of web extensions is only partially compatible to Chrome and Opera.

  10. I have used only three addons, two of them stopped working after the update and the authors say that they can't port them. These two were the only reason to keep using Firefox, so I simply have switched to Opera. No drama, just facts.

    Well, being better than Eagle is not exactly aiming high, you know. Both are very clunky and counterintuitive in their own way. I wouldn't want to use either ever again. But I guess you would also rather use vi than a modern IDE. There are people like that.

    There is one really good thing about Upverter, though - the full integration between the schematics editor and the PCB editor. If you make changes to the schematics, these changes are reflected on the PCB right away, which makes what-ifs easier (reassigning pins for example, or using a different sized part). Also if you highlight a part or a network in either, it is highlighted in both which is pretty neat because sometimes it is far easier to find a specific part on the schematics.

  13. Re:Already shows signs of forking on ESR's Newest Project: An Open Hardware/Open Source UPS (ibiblio.org) · · Score: 1

    Upverter sucks, but Kicad is downright user-hostile (which is, unfortunately, quite common for open source software). I'd suggest using Diptrace for schematics and then do most of the the routing in Topor lite.

  14. This has precisely nothing to do with renewables and everything with an artificially created Albanian mafia state being a part of the European grid.

    No developed country has used plant indigo for a century or so. Synthetic aniline indigo is used instead, that is what made BASF the largest chemical company in the world.

    Germany tried the stupidity you are suggesting in the 1960ies. It sucked and resulted in quite the expenses to rebuild everything back for public transportation. The cities are for the people, not for their cars.

  21. Apparently you don't realise that if your risky behavior endangers others - like the drunk driving you seem to be very fond of, if I remember correctly, you might very well deprive someone else of their only life, or, at the very least, make it far less enjoyable it would be if you weren't such a egomaniacal prick.

    So you are, in fact, a hipster. Why didn't you just say so instead of long - winded explanation?

  23. Von Braun was German and Hitler was Austrian.
    There was no doubt about the latter even in the Nazi Germany.

    The difference was that back then many Germans and many Austrians considered Austria a part of Germany that was disallowed to be a part of Germany by the treaties of Versailles and St. Germaine. Nowadays, not so much.
