My 24 year old 0.6 Kawasaki gets 50+ MPG, and does 0-60 in 3.2 seconds.
Tops out at only 135, lacks turbines, and sucks in the rain though.

I think it's gotten to every person who's seen it so far.
Yeah, gotta work on smoothing out my piloting skills. The extra wing loading from the weight of the camera makes the plane a little harder to handle than it normally would be.

Irrational numbers care not for your "rational approach".
I guess you missed the first sentence of the article.
Nokia still sells more phones than Samsung, LG, and Research in Motion (RIM) put together, but its inability to produce high-margin, high-end smartphones that can compete head to head with Apple's iPhone and Google Android-based smartphones is causing it major problems.
Companies that want to make money and stay is business tend to have diverse product lines, catering to multiple niches and price points.
... the N900?
As far as I'm concerned the only thing Nokia is missing is a better marketing campaign for their product that compares very favorably with the Apple and Android offerings.
Proper gearing will give you all the torque you need to get up any incline with even the tiniest motor. The question is how fast you'll be climbing.
A properly sized motor will provide all the hill climbing performance you could ever want and the limitation becomes range, as limited by battery capacity.
This thing is putting nearly a quarter megawatt (240kw) drain on the power grid during use.
I wonder if it has some sort of means of load smoothing and a limited duty cycle, or if it's going to need its own substation.
Parts&Vendors is a good program geared toward what you're wanting, but it's Windows only. You might see if the trial version will run under WINE.
To do a better job of understanding why their insights aren't always well received.
Does anyone here care to name a PC manufacturer with a spotless record of turning out nothing but quality, or who has always been 100% up front about dealing with legitimate manufacturing problems?
They've all turned out crap and they've all reliably concerned themselves with their own bottom lines first and foremost. It doesn't excuse Dell, but I can't really see why they need to be singled out either.
Many scientists need to realize that their goals, ideals, and ethical standards may not be universal.
