Absolutely. Speed limits are kept artificially low in most jurisdictions.
I have a highway near me with a limit of 65. In clear weather it's common to be doing 70 in the slow lane and have almost everyone pass you cursing that you're holding up traffic.
If they want to use cameras, I'm all for it. But they should be clearly marked and also set to only give out tickets when people are in the reckless driving speeds (15 miles over the limit?).
Agree 100%. I scientist who does his best to bring science to the masses.
Wish his Cosmos show was an ongoing series, just because it was that fun to watch.
Not just that, you have to look at TLotR and realize that Jackson is very good at what he does.
The fact that The Hobbit is so much worse point to one thing: Someone told him that it had to make a lot of money.
How much dedicated time does the gas station take to make the gasoline?
Realistically I would assume the solar array would use a storage battery so you don't need to generate the power at the instant the Tesla drives up.
On the other hand, 26-53 Teslas/day may be a bit of a low number. I've been at Tesla recharging stations where there are two or three Teslas parked and charging at the same time. And this was in NJ, not the west coast where there are more Teslas on the road.
On the third hand, no one drives into a supercharger with a completely depleted battery. I would wager that most people are just topping off from less than 50% charge to 90%.
On the fourth hand, a Tesla charging station doesn't have to be run completely off solar panels. Panels can supplement and take some of the base load off of the hard lines.
Is that a lot? I mean compared to rainfall over that area.
Looks like he's editing his own wikipedia article. Why is this guy noteworthy enough to have a wikipedia article?
Yes. Let's see Yahoo or Bing step up and be major news aggregators in Spain. Or do you think they'll get out as well since no one wants to pay to provide a free service?
I'm on Tribenzor, which is literally just a mix of three regular and cheap blood pressure medicines, but it's 'not generic' so I have to pay a much more expensive rate.
Then you're part of the problem. Tell your physician that you want medications that you can afford without copays and you don't want to fall into a donut hole at the end of the year when you've maxed out your benefits for the year and have to pay full cost for a month or more.
If your doc refuses to change to generic alternatives, there are two options. One is that there are no generics that can treat what you have, the other is that your doc is in the pocket of their local pharmaceutical reps.
BTW, check out http://goodrx.com/ and put in your zip code to see what your medications cost at local pharmacies.
It's more likely that the news sites would have to pay to be listed.
That is an option. Wouldn't it be lovely if Google offered to bring back the news aggregator only if subsidized by the papers?
Probably the same reasons anyone would buy a coffee maker where home-brew coffee costs more than 25 cents a cup.
1 - Laziness
2 - Poor math skills
3 - Lack of impulse control
How does this mesh with the ideas that:
1. shared libraries allow a small memory footprint
and
2. allowing the OS to manage dependencies allows applications to be more secure since all applications that rely on a shared library benefit when a security update of the library get installed
Just to clarify, if we use X10 we're good?
What's a CD?
The technological decline was obvious once episodes 1-3 were released. That was the peak of Galactic Civilization. Things have been in decline since. No more shines ships. The Millennium Falcon is still the fastest ship around. No more research into the force, and the little knowledge gained re: midichlorianes was completely lost. And the Jedi devolve from a quasi-science into a cult.
Agree wholeheartedly.
On the other hand, a couple suggestions/thoughts. Why is your gaming PCI on all the time? (Obvious, since she's complaining about the noise of the computer, not of the games.) Turn it off when not gaming and get a second, much smaller PC for your media player. Look at the nettop size computers.
Other thing is to not spend a significant amount of money on any of this. If it's not important to her, she'll be upset some time in the future, regardless of whether you can afford it.
To the systems programmer, users and applications serve only to provide a test load.
