  1. I think they forgot a few questions on Tesla Used A Third of All Electric-Car Batteries Last Year · · Score: 1

    "the only question left will be market acceptance of a mainstream electric car"

    No mention of the $70,000 price tag? It's certainly the most important question to me.

  2. Wait a second... on $80 Android Phone Sells Like Hotcakes In Kenya · · Score: 1

    Has anyone tried selling hotcakes to people in Kenya? It seems as if they would sell as well as $80 Android handsets.

  3. Better not be doing it without consent. on Police To Begin iPhone Iris Scans · · Score: 2

    If a civilian did this to a police officer they'd be arrested for wiretapping.

  4. Re:cancelled my service on Netflix Announces Streaming Only Plans and Higher Prices for DVDs · · Score: 1

    Got rid of my account 10 minutes ago...they would have billed the ridiculous amount to my card TOMORROW, with no notice other than the detailed account type page, that you have to search through your account info pages for.

    Insanity. Redbox is again looking better and better.

  5. Re:microsoft is incompetent on Microsoft Conducts Massive Botnet Takedown Action · · Score: 1

    Wonder why you've never seen a spam message in your GMail box? They've spend MILLIONS of dollars to make sure of it. And they still can't be 100% accurate.

    You're pretty incompetent if you think GMail's servers don't have to handle incoming spam at a cost to Google.

    It's amazing how foolish the Slashdot community has become.

  6. Re:A Pointless Exercise on Senator Wyden Asks DHS To Explain Domain Seizures · · Score: 1

    Since when do people with such obvious mental deficiencies have time to rant on Slashdot?

    Oh. :-(

  7. Far too many variables. on Fuel Efficiency and Slow Driving? · · Score: 1

    There are other mechanical and electronic devices that play far too much into both fuel consumption and fuel consumption rate to give accurate catch all advice for every car.

    There are many cars with multiple camshafts that operate by forcing fuel into the engine for longer periods of time such as Honda's VTEC and iVTEC, Toyota's VVTL-i and Porsche's VarioCAM Plus.

    A system such as that of a current generation Honda iVTEC 4 cylinder would benefit from acceleration until just before engagement of the "performance camshaft" to achieve maximum efficiency.

    Two other incredibly complex parts of the fuel efficiency equation are turbochargers and superchargers. Furthermore certain turbo-charging systems employ variable geometry turbochargers which are activated relatively early in the power band.

    This question needs to be individually assessed for every car out on the road in whatever condition it may be in.
