There are many reasons BOTH competing H2 technologies can't work. Most of it boils down to safety (driving H2 bombs around town)... As opposed to driving gasoline or alcohol bombs around town... Gasoline and ethanol aren't nearly as flammable as hydrogen. A tank filled with them is not a "bomb" at all (though that is a bit excessive for hydrogen as well).
logistics (how do you ship highly compressed H2 since it can't be pipelined), They ship water to the gas stations via existing pipes and convert it to hydrogen on site expelling oxygen as a byproduct Water from existing pipes is not unlimited. A lot of areas are having a drought right now. Yes, the car would produce water, but it would put in the the air and not in the faucet.
Also, at that point, you might as well use electric cars. Charging a battery is more efficient than splitting water, even with supermagicnanoparticles.
the only safe ways to store H2 gas (metal infusion) weigh too much, take 8 hours to refuel, and have less than 200 mile range. Why not just store it in the same tank I store propane gas in? Sure it will slowly leak, but how long will it take to leak out enough to be a problem? Besides, slowly leaking tanks is a good thing for producers. Hydrogen would corrode a normal propane tank. I don't know if leaking can be dealt with, but it would be a huge problem if it can't. Imagine if you left your car running whenever it was parked.
That is a nonsense argument. One wouldn't want their backyard covered with windmills or solar panels or coal plants or coal mines or magical perpetual electrolysis machines or switchgrass or anything else.
The political compass is a terrible test of political views. Its questions don't deal with actual policies for the most part, but with semipolitical moral opinions. They might indicate your attitude, but not what you support.
And their plotting of political figures of nonsense, in relation to how they plot quiz takers. They have no way of knowing candidates views on a lot of their questions.
First of all, most police cars are not the size of a Prius, so your comparison is meaningless. Second, that's really only true if by "of the same size" you mean "with an engine of comparable power".
guide dog, quarter past 5, and through aren't used in American English? News to me.\ seeing eye dog is another way to say it, and thru is an abbreviation. I have never heard "quarter of five".
and a pedestrian crossing is called a crosswalk, pedestrian crossing is the british version according to 10^100.
Smalltalk, at least that I've seen, is not a normal programming language. Instead of just typing code in files and compiling/running them, you have a "virtual machine" with its own bizarre gui system.
Surprisingly, Google translate does that perfectly english->french->english, although the french translation is a little off. Even english->french->german->english is okay.
Hey, that sounds like me! When I learned about global warming, I put a solar panel on my Surburban. Now it's Green, especially compared to my neighbor's Civic.
They don't actually have the trademark to Open Office. This is why they are called OpenOffice.org . With them doing that little workaround, suing Microsoft for using Office Open XML would certainly look stupid.
Not to mention there would be no point in suing them like this anyway.
it's more like going out to dinner at a sit-down restraunt, rather than a fast food restraunt. Yes, except there is no real advantage to the gentoo way, unlike the restaurant where you get better food.
That would only be true if everyone payed the same in taxes, which isn't anywhere near the truth. The 40 million so far is something around.0013% of your taxes.
Even if you worked every hour of every day and were taxed 100%, you'd still only work about 5 minutes for this. In reality, it is a lot lower. So next time you get a cup of coffee you'll be paying for this.
I don't care if somebody has an OSS app that spits gold out of my CD Rom drive, I'm not working with some jerk who writes stuff like "M$". I have to say, that whole gold out of the CDROM drive thing would be worth it even if they wrote it as "MGREEEDYEVILEVILMONEY$$$$$$$$MONEYSIGNEVILEVILMIC ROSOFTISEVELGOLINUXGNUPWNSWINDOWSHEHEHEHEHEHEHAHAH AHAHAHAHMICROSOFTISEVILGREEDY!!!!$$$$$$$$$DOLLARSI GNDOLLARSIGN".
You're right, 50% of people who use it switching is pretty good. What I don't understand is, why are 50% of downloaders (i.e. a lot of people), not using it at all? Why are they downloading it in the first place? It seems to be it must be too hard to install (which I find doubtful for any user who knows enough to look for it in the first place), or that these are multiple downloads, which don't have much at all to do with retention rate.
But unfortunately for those of us who are more interested in efficiency are in the minority;so car makers market to the folks who consider automobiles to be a status sort of thing instead of a piece of machinery. And this is why the most popular car is a Ferrari, and Honda barely sells 100 a year?
I can care less how fast it can go or its acceleration. Then you probably aren't interested in a $100,000 BMW.
Come on. Do you honestly believe there is some cabal of corporations that decides who we vote for? People get into the primaries because they manage to get a significant number of supporters, generally by holding a previous political position.
I would appreciate it if someome were to work on a similar product (or a port) to Ubuntu. I strongly agree. YAST is a great configuration tool, but SUSE has a terrible package repository. Ubuntu has a great repository, but it's configuration tools are separate, hard to use, unreliable, and not all installed by default.
Another factor is that commercially produced food is made to be more easily transportable and to last longer, and is not as fresh when it gets to a person. It is also often made in ways that improve efficiency at the cost of taste.

But even if this works, what is the point? Why not use electric cars?

While ethanol does take energy to grow, process and ship, so does gasoline (though instead of taking energy to grow it is needed to extract it).

Which still rely on copyright.

Ruby looks interesting in a lot of ways, but the syntax is rather painful. Is there something similar with a more smalltalk like syntax?

Is there any reason they need to be on land, rather than the ocean?
How long did it take to compile?
Um, Alabama has had hot summers for a while. What makes you think this is climate change?
