Unless we switch to solar, wind and/or nuclear for the bulk of our electricity generation, all electric cars do is concentrate where we burn the hydrocarbons to power them.
and that's a good thing because the concentrated hydrocarbon cremation facilities can generate energy with >80% efficiency, while a car burning the same hydrocarbons generates energy with only 20% efficiency. This means you need to burn about three times as much hydrocarbons if you burn it in the car instead of at a power plant.
The portable power plant you find in a car (internal combustion engine) does not even come close to the efficiency you find in a stationary power plant. The car simply wastes most of the fuel's energy as heat, and then wastes even more energy to get rid of all that heat it by swirling liquid around in a "radiator": a device whose sole purpose is to waste as much energy as possible to prevent the engine from melting itself. What's more, is when you step on the brakes all of the car's kinetic energy is wasted as even more heat. The whole thing is hugely wasteful and inefficient.
Yes, one of the skins that comes with Windowblinds is Aero. Combined with Start8, you can make Windows 8 look identical to Windows 7 --- except for window title bar text which always stays centered.
WindowBlinds' support for Windows 8 was added only a few weeks ago, and it's not that great. Most of the existing skins on the download page are broken for the "file copy" window of Windows 8, and some are broken in other ways. There are about 4 skins I found that actually work, but I think all 4 of them are better looking than Windows 8.
Unfortunately the window title stays centered... just like Windows 3.11. I think Windows 8 is supposed to be a throw-back to remind us how crappy Windows 3.11 was, and that we should be lucky Windows 7 doesn't look like that... at least in Windows 3.11 you could actually change title bar text color... Windows 8 you're stuck with black. Argh... stupid Microsoft.
I had to get Windows 8 for work and there wasn't much choice. I struggled with it until I found those. I don't need Windows 8.1, Microsoft can go to hell.
There is a trademark infringement only if someone else uses that same trade mark (or similar mark) to sell a competing product. Since DigitalRev does not sell cameras (or anything even remotely related to cameras) there is no trademark case either. There is no copyright infringement, nor is there trademark infringement. There isn't a patent violation either. The DMCA request is completely bogus... also, Digital Millenium Copyright Act applies only to Copyright... not trademarks. GoPro has no ground to stand on in this case, they're simply abusing the DMCA. I hope they get sued and fined.
You breathe breaths. One's a noun and the other is a verb. They're pronounced very differently. English isn't even my native language, but even I know the difference.
So they got boondoggled. There's really nothing they can do. Someone is counting their ill-gotten gains at everyone else's expense, and that's business as usual for the world. That's always how it is, people unjustly enrich their pockets at everyone else's expense. It's not illegal to be an unethical crook.
I have a Korean 2560x1440 IPS display I got for $285 from eBay (including shipping). It has 3 missing pixels, but they're very hard to see. Best monitor for the price imho.
You don't get it: material in space is worth a whole lot more than material on earth. If you brought it back down to earth it would be worth only a tiny fraction of that price and defeat the entire purpose of catching it. We already have lots of water on earth, and this whole planet is made of all kinds of metals, there is no water shortage here. Asteroid is worth a lot in space because bringing material out of the gravity well and atmosphere is expensive, to the tune of several thousand dollar per pound. If we slowed down this asteroid to make it go into a stable orbit around the earth (or the moon) then it really would be worth billions, if not trillions. The problem is slowing down an object out of a hyperbolic orbit - it requires tremendous amount of force. We could change its trajectory slightly so it enters the atmosphere for aerobreaking, but that requires very precise control of the trajectory to make sure it doesn't end up sub-orbital.:)
This is exactly what I was going to post, I searched to see if anyone had posted the dancing rabbits problem yet and there it is.
If you leave it up to the user to decide whether or or not to bypass the security protocols, then you have no security protocol. It's like getting the most secure door installed on your house but allowing your 4 year old to open the door to strangers.
“Schools are supposed to teach best practice, which includes ethics and adherence to reasonable laws,” -- yes... in some imaginary world they live in that's much more important than fixing exploits in your software. That's the right attitude for having a very hack-able site.
I heard Guy Hingston saved a bus load of children from a burning building... unfortunately he sued Google, so that makes him a total douche, regardless of how many children he saved. Oh... it turns out he didn't save any children from the burning building. He can go to hell.
to ask people to install ask.com toolbar when they carelessly go through the update. Every idiot I know has ask.com toolbar installed, they have no idea how they got it or what it does, and they don't understand that it redirects their searches to their own shitty web site. It's disgusting, and it's disgusting that Oracle benefits from this.
I am so glad our Justice Department is busy locking up such horrible and dangerous criminals. Thank goodness the Department of Justice is hard at work locking up these criminal masterminds. Now we can all feel safer.
They go to great lengths to ensure the content industry fat cats don't lose any money, because how else could they afford their eight figure salaries if a few people get their disgusting hands on their content without paying? They might have to go down to... *gasp* seven figure salaries, ugh just saying it brings chill to my spine. That's unimaginable cruelty! Thank you Department of Justice for using my money to protect the interests of a select few that I don't give a crap about. Thank you, very much.
In the mean while, identity theft is at an all time high. Bravo, Department of Justice! Bravo!
... because we really don't want sex offenders playing games. They should be out on the street raping people instead. Someone clearly didn't think this through. Kudos on stupidity.
I agree, it will be a gradual change, at each step we'll lose a bit more one day we'll wake up and there will be no Internet. American lawmakers are already pushing their own agenda trying desperately to gain control of this beast that has escaped. It's only matter of time until greedy bastards ruin everything. Greed disgusts me.
poor tv execs who are going to have to do without a mega-yacht or mega-mansion because you didn't watch your ads like you're supposed to. They have become accustomed to a life of leisure, they think what they do is so indispensable that they need to get paid in 7 or 8 figure incomes while the rest of us don't even get 6. It's simply unsustainable. It's crazy of these a-holes to expect us to bend over backward to give them their life of leisure. Give me a break.

You don't need Windows 8.1 to fix the problems in Windows 8.
What you need is three programs:

Does a gun manufacturer or dealer go to jail as co-conspirator when the killer used the gun to kill people?

Remove helmet? Just send them to the moon without helmets. According to them it's just a studio in Arizona, they don't need helmets there.
People give Steve Jobs way too much credit. He was good at packaging technology for the masses and charging 200% markup, but that's about it.
