This is basically what the Volt should have been.

Even though the Volt degraded into a disappointing electromotive hybrid with engine assistance while still being far in advance of the Toyota HSG, it took least one billion dollars of research before GM went bankrupt. Hopefully, GM can recoup some of those lost dollars with the Bolt and give us the electric vehicle we were promised with the Volt, but this time, it will have no petroleum engine.

The Yarrow algorithm, or its progeny Fortuna, are not yet a thing?
Shame.

Sorry, but on the AOL and Lotus Notes platforms, the deletion was compulsory. You cannot read an unsent message on AOL or Lotus Notes.

AOL had the "unsend" feature decades ago, which actually "unsended" emails after they were sent.

So did Lotus Notes, and Microsoft Exchange.

This "feature" is a 30-second delay on outbound messages, a clever hack, but how is this news to anyone?

It's the "beer goggles" extension re-warmed for clueless Gmail users as it graduates out of Gmail Labs.

Feh.

Try harder, Google. Try harder.

There's this rumor that when Yahoo expanded its Lockport "chicken coop" data centers in upstate NY they vacated at least two large data centers in Northern VA and because the lease isn't up for another two years they have been mostly empty ever since.

Yet, Yahoo is saving lots of money by doing this.

Consider the IBM Power Systems, formerly known as the IBM System i, AS/400 and eServer iSeries.

The systems in these product lines are intended to be in use indefinitely with a completely compatible upgrade path. The operating systems and the software used on these servers are based on an architecture that has been in continuous use since 1979, the System/38, and the software that runs on these systems has been in use even earlier than that.

The word "install" is not a noun.

This is the new name of Losetheos.
(As in, "Lose the Operating System").

Thist looks like a really late edition of F-ckedCompany.com.

Wow, if the figures projected by this article turn out to be true in the real world, I stand corrected.

However, since my own home has a load-management cutoff switch for my water heater to reduce load on peak days, I have a doubt how successful it will be in actual real-world situations.

If your hot water heater, dryer, and stove run continuously for any extended amount of time, then you've got to call your electrician.

None of these appliances is going to run a full 4- to 6-hour duty cycle. Try it. Even your stove doesn't run continuously when you turn it on. Do you even own an electric stove or water heater?

And distribution vs. transmission is not a big difference for my argument. It cannot now handle the load.

The dryer, stove, AC, hot water heater, and other appliances do not pull full continuous load for several hours at a time. The electric car charging port *does*.

And your quoted article doesn't say anything about what that load might be, just that it is "increasing."

And, please, try re-read my post more carefully. I am talking about the power distribution grid and not power generation.

No. The homes can handle the power load, but the power grid cannot. You can't have a large proportion of houses in the neighborhood pulling 40 amps at 240VAC continuously for four to six hours every night at the same time.

There are dozens of companies developing home storage for electric vehicles because of this. It's a serious logistical problem.

The goal wasn't really to store energy for the house. The actual goal is to store energy to recharge your electric vehicle quickly and without overloading your local power grid.

The use of energy in the house is an added-on benefit and makes it more appealing to buyers. Some might also call this a "gimmick."
