The Problem Steps Recorder is a boon to anyone who hates doing doco. One of the best new features of Server 2008.

But the PSR doesn't take videos.

They don't include refining costs for fossil fuel... major flaw.

You could have Googled this yourself but here are a few references:

The fact that they agree with me on one point about my car has nothing to do with the quality of their study or whether or not "I agree with them".

Extraction and distribution of coal and oil are probably about equal. However, refining oil takes about as much energy as cars get out of the gas or diesel. In fact, if you took the electricity that oil refineries use and put that into an electric car, it would drive the car as far as the gas and diesel that the refinery produces (without all that nasty pollution).
Either way, its a major flaw in the study when they don't include major costs of fossil fuel but do include those costs for electricity. Flagrant bias.

You are right. The study did not take the costs of extraction, refining and transportation of fossil fuels into account. Major flaw.
The NBER is a right wing think tank (climate change deniers) and this is a biased hit piece against electric cars.

I guess these electric boats don't exist, then:

The NBER is a conservative think tank with an climate change denier agenda and this "study" is deeply flawed and intended to disseminate misinformation about electric cars which are a threat to the fossil fuel industry.
My electric car is solar powered and costs about $0.04/mile for electricity so much better for the environment (and my wallet) than any fossil fuel or hybrid vehicle.

The NBER is a conservative funded "think tank". It gets most of its money from large corporations and people with an interest in the oil and gas industries.
This "study" is just a hit piece against electric cars funded by the oil and gas industries... it's worthless.
One example of its bias: It uses a "well to wheels" analysis of electric car energy use but for fossil fueled vehicles, it only uses the "pump to wheels" emissions, leaving out all of the energy impacts of extraction, refining and transportation of fossil fuels.

The reason guns kill people is because of a spring mechanism in guns, causing the hammer to fall, causing the primer to ignite, causing the projectile to ....

must obey the artist they are recording

FTFY

Though there are sound engineer unions, there has never been any movement within these groups to ruin music with dynamic nor bit compression. The trend of national music, known as the Loudness Wars, made possible by audio technology (not necessarily new or cutting edge, either) and those that competantly operate it and engineer audio, but only at the command of producers and artists.

IOW please stop blaming audio engineers, because its the same thing as blaming gun violence on springs

Once upon a time for a few decades, engineers perfected tracked and reproduced audio, perfected in the sense that, with intention and understanding of the underlying processes, the national product always had certain aural qualities such as separation and dynamism that worked with the artistic piece itself effectively making the audio reproduction science into a subtle or not so subtle artistic instrument that could be reasonably reproduced even on really crummy components.

Then artists got rich and decided they knew more about audio engineering than audio engineers.

There are some artists, of course, that took the time to actually learn engineering audio, just like there are writer-director-producer-actors in the film industry. But most recording artists have their one strong suit, and its in performance, composition, poetry and music, and not in visualizing the shape of the sound of how one instrument's single note at that particular time index pokes through the layered and spectrum overwhelming frequencies the other instrument happens to be filling. The artist with their technically untrained ear just says "yeah, but I can't hear the bass" or "you gotta turn my guitar up and my vocals down."

So please don't thank President Obama sarcastically and don't blame photographers for gimpy runway fashion models and what they're wearing... it was some artists with control-issues and a distinct lack of critical ear , and a commercial trend, that ruined recorded music; it certainly was not professional audio engineers.

In other words, mechanics are biased.

Its the old Holden (GM) vs Ford mentality, no matter how bad a car is they'll never admit that their favoured brand is bad whilst using any excuse to deride the competition.

Toyota tends to issue a recall over anything that might in some once in a million years scenario cause something to go wrong. This is why it looks like they issue a lot of recalls but the recalls are for minor issues like a seat adjustment rail. This is overwhelmingly a good thing as it shows Toyota doesn't want to take risks and preserve the reputation of their cars.

This kind of conservatism is perversive amongst Japanese companies though, they'd rather read "Honda issues another recall" than "17 people died from an ignition problem in Honda vehicles" in the papers.

It was called Windows 7.

Vista is a fine example of if you fuck up the release and fix it later, people will never consider it fixed. if MS makes the same mistake with Win 10 then it'll suffer the same fate as Vista and having two consecutive OS versions universally despised and ignored will not be good for MS.

If anyone is going to suffer catastrophically from the "release now, fix later" mentality, its Microsoft.

Its a Land Rover, people buy them because they need the shiny to justify their inflated ego's. They aren't cars for people who want reliable, trouble free or sensible motoring.

Dearest gun nut.

Stay the fuck out of Australia.

Signed,
People who are happy not having mass shootings every second week.

Mainly due to the number of gun-nuts that pop up on any discussion about Australia and prattle on about guns (and always using incorrect information). Their loudness and vitriol does give non-Americans a very negative view of the situation.
