There's a reason why this is only CGI. Do some math: Solar constant is about 1kw/m^2. The car might have 5m^2 of cells if you're generous. Solar cells have an efficiency of 10-20%. Even under optimal conditions the solar cells on a car aren't going to generate more than a few 100 watts, maybe 1kW. That's great for a bicycle, decent for a moped and sucks for a motorcycle. For a car it's going to suck even more. Yes you can move something ultralight and ultra-aerodynamic with that amount of power but it won't be a car as you know it.
The disk drive was acting up and it was a very old Win7 installation. So I replaced the disk, installed Debian jessie with KDE and Win7 in a VM. Everything is soo snappy now and I don't have to deal with all the Win8/10 drama. Yay. But I'm not a gamer obviously.
You may want to read up on safety recommendations by e.g. the cops. In some situations it is recommended to take the lane to keep cars from squeezing past you.
Well voters rarely kick out the incumbent even if they didn't deliver what they promised. So yeah voters are to blame. They still believe today what Reagan promised just because he played a nice guy.
That's because manufacturers run into limits, especially around cost, since Moore's law has reached the end of the line. A transistor on 20nm or 14nm is more expensive than a transistor on 28nm.
That could've been me 40 years ago. We had a whole group of bomb makers. They all ended up as chemists/chemistry teachers or MDs; I was the odd one out with CS.
LOL. When I started our Uni mainframe was, umm, not very secure (ICL 1906 with GEORGE 4, yay.) We crashed that thing every few weeks. Whenever you did something naughty and the terminal displayed a flashing status at the bottom saying it was waiting for a reply it was time to run from the terminal room because two minutes later one of the operators would come in and look who sat at terminal number X.
All of those resources will last for an infinite amount of time because at some point they'll be too dilute, hence costly, to extract. That metric is meaningless.
What matters is what flow rate you can get out at a cost that's acceptable to the economy, and by that measure we're running out of oil and have so for a couple of years, since we're now scraping the bottle of the barrel with tight oil and tar sand. Now that tight oil is peaking it's probably a matter of a few years until we reach peak total liquids. But by then the statistics will probably lump other fossil fuels in with liquid hydrocarbons so the graph doesn't look lousy, just as they did when they lumped various type of nonconventional oil, NGL and biofuels in with crude and called it all "oil." With the old style of EIA/IEA reporting the peak would be too obvious.

It most definitely is a magic purse for Elon Musk & co.
> placing them among the best performing hybrid electrochemical capacitors.
Which still sucks by orders of magnitude compared to batteries.

The Earth is going to shit, with it civilization at some point, so there must be something else.
Wat?
It's the only reason I run a Windows VM. Corporate processes :(

Yup, imagine how easily another four cores would fit in there.
However that would compete with Xeons. Can't have that, it's where the money is.
... in severance packages. A hostile work environment will definitely reduce personnel.
Of course the smart people who have no problem finding another job will leave first.
Pfft. God put those bones in the ground 6,000 years ago to test our faith, duh.
It works perfectly well for me.
Obvious question.
It specifically forecasts a doubling of the number of transistors per generation. We've had 20-ish and recently 10-ish percent for many years.
The open drivers work just fine for everything that's not bleeding edge. We'll see how the amdgpu driver comes along.
I wish I had mod points. What can you expect if politicians are financed by the highest bidder?
Well voters rarely kick out the incumbent even if they didn't deliver what they promised. So yeah voters are to blame. They still believe today what Reagan promised just because he played a nice guy.
We'll see if they'll be fine with the negative publicity if the Linux drivers are crap.

I put a SSD in front of my spinning rust RAID as a cache and use writethrough or writearound. Even if the SSD fails I won't lose data.
