You strongly need a citation there. The crux of the argument about energy storage is cost. Many energy storage systems have long term replacement requirements. In the case of batteries, they will on average need replacing every 7 years. Batteries are expensive. The battery buffer system just doesn't make economic sense in the long run. Hydro-turbines could potentially be cheap to maintain for 20 or more years, so I think you should clarify the type of energy storage system you are talking about.

Electric vehicles have much more torque. You would see enhanced performance on mountains/hills with an electric vehicle.

The well casing is ruptured below the sea floor. If they cap it, oil will begin leaking below the surface. This will cause extensive erosion leading to the collapse of the blow out preventor. This erosion will continue and leakage rates will continue to increase until the whole oil field depressurizes. In other words: The very best anybody will ever do is to leave this pipe wide open. It will only get worse from here, and substantially faster if they do cap it. Our only hope is with other means to depressurize this (relief wells).

I don't see any thing wrong with waiting and learning from your competitor's mistakes. I double don't see anything wrong with that if it produces a better product.

The thing you don't understand that the chip is the failure point. The more chips you have, the more points of failure. Reduce the number of chips (and the hardware used to support them), and you can reduce possible failures considerably. In the case of getting rid of the GPU, it would probably bring close to a 20% reduction in the number of components. Are you really saying that a computer with 20% less components (and thus points of failure) is going to be less reliable than it's big brother of yesteryear?

If Baloo is representative of the OpenWRT community, I don't want to use that software. Good job fella.

Don't create new websites using Joomla.

What a modest proposal.

Yeah, good idea in this economy.

Do you suggest that everybody writes in raw xlib? I do not think the distinction you are trying to make is relevant. Abstraction of some kind will always be necessary. Nobody wants to write in raw xlib.

We should most likely consume our children too (at least once they're plump enough to make something substantial). Through their life, I can't imagine the environmental footprint that they'll leave behind.

are the games I really got into on Linux. True Combat Elite is my favorite FPS.

Why's a lightbulb better than a pregnant stripper? You can unscrew a lightbulb!
