Could be good. Maybe they might pay enough attention to make national rules for the inspection of electric vehicles. I live in PA, and i'm going to pay 250$ for a mechanic to give me a sticker(PA enhanced inspection), when he told me, he literally makes up the rules.
Different? Cause republicans will do...better? You crack me up. We need the things republicans are against. I support neither party, but oil has got to go.
Mine was perfectly fine when i got it, now no matter what i do in software, it flat out isn't as fast. It runs at the correct clock speed, it just gets less done. The fact that it can't play HD videos or youtube has a long list of people that need shot. Adobe and Intel are both on that list.
You are correct, i believe it's the LM22673 that is the adjustable switching regulator. My mistake. Power MOSFET's are so small these days, you can fit 400amps worth on a dime. Still puts that power supply under 20$. And, a side note, laptop builders need to learn how to move heat anyway.
Intel did. By making the Atom so damn slow. And for somereason, mine benchmarks at about 60% of its speed when i got it 2 years ago. Fresh install before both benchmarks. Did they build these things to "age" and get us to buy new ones? Thing used to be fast, but now, its nearly useless.
Make all laptops accept 12-30 volts AC or DC. REALLY EASY. Internally, you need 12, 5,and 3.3 volts. Well, the 78xx chips do that for cheap. AC? 4x 20 cent diodes and it's DC. Now plug it into your car, 12-16 volts unregulated. Plug it into a laptop supply from another laptop, call it 19v, regulated. Military systems? 24v, unregulated. This laptop can take that all, without issue. All you need is a standard hi-current connector, that doesn't suck like a barrel plug.Put a big Zener on the input to protect it from people who can't read. As far as negotiation, it's a waste of time and money. Just build it right in the first place, and let the laptop regulate the input. The cost is so low its ridiculous.
My car can charge off anything from 60-300vac or 90-300 vdc. Wall outlet is fine. The Volt is a step backwards. It's anemic performance and tiny battery make a perfect example for people who want to talk down about EV's. My $1,000 Saturn could easily beat it in acceleration, and with about another thousand in upgrades, crush it on EV range and top speed. So congrats Chevy, you did what a college kid can do for $2,000. The Volt features no innovation.
Also,
a "proper" battery pack is about 3 days worth of driving. That way, if you forget to plug in, it's no disaster. Also covers the long days. I like your SUV/Generator idea, but it will never happen, it's too smart.
My family owns 7 cars. At any given time, there are at least two parked at my house. One of my cars is a DIY converted 96 Saturn electric, another is a 74 Dodge Charger. The electric has a pathetic 20 miles of range. Not bad for 1000$. My mother's commute is 4 miles round trip. Store? 2 miles round. Trips like that are where electrics thrive. My mother's Subaru gets nearly 30mpg.....once it has warmed up. She averages 8mpg commuting. The electric has payed for itself. The Subaru costs nearly 50 cents per mile like this. The Saturn costs under 1.5 cents per mile.

Actually, insurance is easy, Erie already promised me coververage.

I'm using RCA cables from the 70's that were my dads. You CAN be an audiophile and NOT be insane.
Everybody needs to stop this tabs shit. Chrome sucked for a reason. Also, exchange? please? my damn school uses it.
Sounds like early Jobs to me. 80hours a week he said?
It's the new Rick Roll.
Efficiency is progress.
I rip DVDs because their copy protection shit won't let it play it in my computer. They can sod off, i paid for it. This is why i pirate.
Because that wouldn't trigger Genuine Advantage and make you buy a new copy!
Yep. Problem is they have more money than us.
I'm broke, can't afford to buy CD's. They are insanely rich, and want to be richer. When they pay off my car, i will give a shit about their "rights."
I am well aware that idiots run the world. Thanks.
How does it behave now?

I corrected myself. Sorry. Jerk.
I must correct you, the Volt is NOT and electric car. It's a hybrid. BIG difference.
