And while you are on these road trips, waiting 10 minutes or so for your car to charge isn't so bad. 10 minutes is a good break from the road and gives you time to relieve yourself, get some food, or buy souvenirs.
While this might not be the case in the midwest or east coast, out here in the south west there is a lot of undeveloped land (desert) around rest stops. Sounds like a good place to setup a giant solar power plant. During the hot summer, more people will be driving (and your energy generation level will be highest).
All I have to say is that after playing GTA3 for 30 minutes at my friend's place, I flinched and became very anxious when I heard a police siren as I was walking back to my dorm (something that never bothered me before).
I'm not going to say that games cause violence (so don't flame about that), but it did make me respond differently than I would have normally.
When marketing teams for American car companies stop touting V8s, then maybe the American consumer will be ready for the complexity of wheel horse power.
I remember something about the Lincoln Zephyr campaign saying that they were the only one in their class with a V8, yet the other cars in it's "class" churned out more power with their V6s.
Possibly it would prevent the continued flow of gas to the pipe. Some would still leak, but either the gas would burn out quickly or dissipate before it's ignited.
All I have to say is at least this was scientific. They had them play two different games, and analyzed their brain activity. It doesn't necessarily tie it to acts of violence (not to say certain groups won't try it), but it's far more respectable than that study that said Pac-Man is 41% violent (or whatever % they gave it).
The engines generate electricity much like the alternator in your car does. Yes, having a bigger alternator takes away some power from the engine. But if the engine is designed to handle the load of the alternator and still have plenty of power to do it's job, then there is no problem.
Power outlets and more TVs just require more juice than what was used in the past. People are plugging their laptops in and watching DVDs for entire flights. Charging a plane full of iPods seems rather trivial in comparison.
I am sure that if AMD could make it where you could just upgrade the CPU and get value for that upgrade, they would. They don't sell memory or motherboards, and only recently have they gotten vested interest in GPUs.
I wonder which happened: 1) OEM companies didn't like that a person could buy off-the-shelf components to make a cheaper, faster, and more reliable machine. They then asked MS to make this more expensive for the user. 2) MS realized that most of their OS sales was to OEM companies, and that they could rip off consumers buying the OS unbundled.
What are we paying for now that we weren't getting 10 years ago? Fancier versions of Media Player (which happen to get worse and worse with every iteration)?
How about using companies that hasn't had executives sent to prison lately.
Ford could be an example, but you can't look at Ford today. You have to look at Ford in the 70s, when the price of gas went through the roof and pollution regulations were introduced. Their response was to stick with old technology and muddle around with smaller, less powerful engines. GM's response was to introduce a new Cadillac that got 8 mpg on the freeway. They ignored the wants and needs of their customers completely.
The question is, is Sony ignoring the wants of their customers with the PS3. We can't say yet.

Phishing existed long before internet and e-mail were the norm.
When I was young, I remember a snail-mailed phishing letter that my parents received (early 90s I think).

Agreed. This is possibly the #1 reason I've stayed away from MMOs.

Are we saying that Greek social values are trumping modern day ones?
I see more parades on the horizon...
Or how about not shaping the hull like a giant parachute. We are already putting that one to good use.
Too bad I used up all my mod points on comments for "Sony Console the Worst Launch Ever."
If I remember correctly, isn't the PS2 outselling the PS3, 360, and Wii combined (and is above the XBox)?
Perhaps, but that's the mentality of the management.
- Should an employee take a pay cut for something that makes them more productive?
- Does a little goofing off really damage overall productivity?
I say a happy, motivated employee who can concentrate when he wants to get stuff done is going to be far more valuable.
I bet peanut butter would clog the tubes pretty quick.
Faster than poker chips could, at least.

I like how this turned into a form of charity almost.
How often do Japanese homeless get $200 for sitting around?
Seems we know your stance on gun control as well. :)
Here's one vote for "Chief Technical Dude."

"Given away" might be a bit strong, but yes.

blasted airport officials for raising bogus legal and technological arguments.
OK, this just needs to be done another few hundred times now...
I thought that this was for a controller that can survive several throws due to frustration, yet not break.
keeping lighters, tweezers, and bottles of water off airlines
You underestimate how much pain tweezers can inflict. I bet you have never had someone dig a splinter out with tweezers.
True. But I was looking at the Playstation brand, not the Sony brand (which, yes, still includes the grey market crackdown).
