Well, you misunderstood. They produced 5TWh of energy in July, the month of July has 744 hours, so the average power from photovoltaics was 6.72GW. This is comparable to about 15 nuclear reactors. When you look at presentation linked in the article, you see that this drops 0.35TWh in January, i.e., an average power of 0.47GW. In Germany the price for electricity is about 3 times that of the U.S., at least partially due to the subsidies of renewables.
A major mistake in my eyes is that they only ensure that these people were in a moving vehicle, not that they were actually driving it. Think about busses or your kids talking on the phone while you're driving. Considering this and that only few people make calls while driving, it is very likely that only a small percentage of the measured data were actually people driving a car.
You cannot buy one, the only way to get such a phone is to take part in the crowd funding. Or get one later, when someone sells his on eBay.
Solution: Issue H1-B visas only if there is a contract with a wage of at least 80kUSD/a. (the value of this limit is just politics...)
I honestly believe them. However, what they investigated is not relevant. All they claim is that it is not the stuff they pump in that comes back out and contaminates the water. The study does NOT claim that the pollution is not an effect of the whole process, which it very possibly is.
So according to the government's own definition the U.S. military not only owns, but uses weapons of mass destruction, probably on a daily basis? I thought they raided Iraq, because the just owned such weapons. This definition is ridiculous!
They'd better help us write code
The advantage of using any free software package is, that it can be installed on your own machine, only accessible from your local network or VPN.
How about a second notebook? It could have very low specs, just wlan and a good screen resolution. Of course it is a little less portable, but still cheap and a comfortable solution.... Maybe you even have one at home, or you could easily get one on ebay.
The thing is... he is not looking for an USB powered adapter, but actually for an entire USB powered display.
As he seems to be looking for a replacement of his iPad as an external monitor, I suspect that he is looking at something like 1080p and somewhat larger, maybe the size of his macbook pro.
The only thing that comes to mind for me is the old, ridiculous ThinkPad W700ds with the built-in second screen.
The one day you'd sell your soul for something, souls are a glut.
