If the acceleration is done using the batteries, not quite so. The idea is to build a plug-in hybrid but with no direct connection between the fuel engine and the wheels.

Electrical engineers aren't the problem. In fact, some of the people that will help on this already have experience with building electrical vehicles. A few years ago they took a lot of old Fiat Uno's and transformed them into fully electric vehicles for a competiton (it's in Portuguese, but you can, at least, see the photos: http://www.veiculoselectricospt.com/fiat-uno-electrico-da-feup/).

We were hoping to be able to use the original engine of the jeep as a generator. I've seen several cases of range-extended vehicles where the generator is actually smaller than the ICE engine that would be required to power the vehicle if the vehicle was using a mechanic instead of an electric transmission - a regular fuel powered vehicle instead of an electric/hybrid vehicle.

I'm pretty sure he was talking about sexually transmitted diseases... Therefore, apart from Hepatitis, which have vaccines and and some very effective treatments, all the other one's become irrelevant in this discussion...

you know he actually never really said that, don't you?

The truth is that the tax per gigabyte for cell phones will be different from the tax per gigabyte for memory cards which, in turn, will also be different from the tax per gigabyte for hard drives. It will be 0.02 euro for hard drives but, for cellphones, it will actually be 0.50 euro (really, 50 cents) per gigabyte.

In Portugal you can just text a specific number and you know how long it will take the few next buses to arrive.

Apple sure does like to patent stuff they didn't invent.

Quite the answer I was aiming for, here. I have to agree with you.

I'm just asking. Trying to get informed. Nothing more.

There's more to life than chocolate...

Thank you. Someone ought to mod you informative.

The problem was the presumption that I'm criminalizing anything when I just made a question about a property of a substance. I don't do chocolate, coffee or tobacco because I chose not to. I'm not a fan of any of them. Not because I'm a puritan, which I'm not, those are simply stuff out of the list of things that I do.

I didn't even complain about any taxes. I didn't blindly reject any kind of pleasure the world has to offer. And I did not impose anything on anyone. I just made a (so I thought) funny comment about those three substances and in return I got a speach about complaints on taxes and asking me if I condemn the consumption of chocolate, tobacco or coffee. I didn't even express any opinion about marijuana or any kind of substance at all. So, yes, the comment made by the AC was ridiculous. And yours just went further in that direction when you implied that I was trying to impose behaviours or opinions on others. It was never, even remotely, the case.

No, it's just how context flows. If I ask about something, I expect a reply about that. It is because I want to know about what I asked. Period.
