Good idea this. The main complaint about totally electric cars is the charge time and this would negate this for a small cost. The company taking the battery could charge it up and use it as stock for the next hot-swap to come in.

If they can get this right (both the infrastructure and the price for the service), it could really help electric car adoption in the future since you'll be able to "re-fuel" just like a normal car, in some respects.

I heard the whole company was moving to post only on 4chan and every story would have some releveance to a power rating or other.

Must.... get.... April Fool.... achievement....

I know, before he came along the internet was just a load of facts and Wikipedia especially, was 100% accurate.

I also heard that Colbert founded the RIAA. How dare he :(

Seriously, these protections that are "not DRM" still manage my rights to things that are digital. However unintrusive these things are to my system, they are still doing the same thing and therefore this re-branding of it is just stupid.

One supporter? Come on, Pete Waterman is at least as big as 2 people, give them some credit

In Soviet Slashdot, karma burns you!

I'll alert the presses!!!!!

Did those other taxes that were proposed go through? I remember reading on Slashdot about a tax in Canada that would be added to blank media and MP3 players which went into the pockets of the music industry up there.

If it did and this goes in place as well, they surely would be making more money off of taxes than from actual music sales!

Yeah, I'm a bit confused to this BIAS as well. I've seen 20 patents "protecting" the same thing when you look at the back of some electronics. How would limiting them to 5 help them?

On my 360? I never thought I'd see the day!!!!

What? Chris Redfield's is his STARS outfit, they're both just dressed in their heritage gear.

Our servers were recently moved to our sauna room to save space. Finally, a product that will work for all businesses who have done the same.

It worked for me! However, the ball looked a lot like a blue lowercase e and the second browser looked like a trashcan....

Can I throw a ball from one iPhone to another?

Why play catch when I can just sit on my butt to throw a ball?
