Comment Re:batteries are not rechargable (Score 1) 247

If the batteries are easy to swap out, it would make "recharging" much faster compared to the Tesla's current approach that requires long waits. I don't think this is a major downside if the process can be optimized; it will just be different than the current way we think about refueling a vehicle.

Comment Re:Use the printer at work (Score 1) 266

I chose a laser printer (someone else's) where "someone else's" means "the printer from work". My personal printing needs are so few I find it hard to justify getting my own printer and letting cartridges dry out and associated annoyances.

this, with how many journal articles I print (gawd, when will Kindle or Nook FINALLY come out with color e-ink!) one or two slices of paper for my personal use per year is negligible. Usually, they're just concert tickets but with a bar code, and dear lord I don't want my barcodes smeared into oblvion from an inkjet and useless when I get to the venue.

Comment Re:5 years (Score 1) 525

I did ten years. It's the greatest job in the world... except for the people.

This sounds like a specific case of the general rule-of-thumb I've known throughout my multiple jobs/careers, "XXX is a great place to work except for the customers". And here 'customers' is a euphemism for the people that pay your salary/wages in either a direct or indirect way. But maybe you were talking about your co-workers instead of the general public (which would be the military's "customers" IMHO)?
