But that's pointless and misleading. I don't say my kitchen blender has emissions or my cellphone.

Gasoline has emissions because when you burn it, it releases CO2 (and others). There are also emissions when the gasoline is produced at the refinery.

Electric vehicles produce no emissions when the electricity is used. In some cases, generating electricity does produce emissions.

The advantage is large powerplants can control emissions much easier than a car and even better - they can be replaced by a cleaner source. Cars usually produce more emissions as they get less efficient with age.

Obviously we're not going to replace everyone's car overnight so we have time to improve our infrastructure.

Here in the real world, when players collaborate on something for everyone to use, we call that a "Standard"

You're probably not the target demographic for this product - it's aimed at "Chromebooks" which are ~3lb cheap laptops. Similar to terminals connecting to mainframes in the past except smaller and with WiFi.

If it helps, you can replace "Cloud" with "Server cluster".

Tow truck.

I think your very last point is one of the biggest ones - the inability to cheat is a big reason why lots of games are pushing parts online. It has the downside of requiring a more powerful server (and puts full trust in the server), but it can prevent many cheats right off the bat and makes it easier to block others. Players like this because cheating sucks.

Would those people have a problem with their drugs being blue or having some koolaid powder mixed in?

I have a crank radio/flashlight thing that just as a button on the side to make an annoying noise. Probably the same deal since it's an easy add on that uses little power

Well it's our one month warning. We need time to plan the Mars Orbit Entry Parties.

Presumably Google would also run the non-simulator tests and report the results, so there's no real difference there.

Would that happen in 100,000 miles of normal driving? The advantage of simulation is it can simulate once in a life time events like a 3 year old tossing a sandwich out the window into oncoming traffic.

It's so far removed though - the gas at the Shell is probably in part coming from BP wells anyways

No, that's not true. If they piss you off, then their advertisers don't get views and also get pissed off. You're paying them - just in screen space, not dollars.

Cats do love killing birds, but I can tell you anecdotally that my cat has never brought in a raptor.

The design devotes a whole room to 3D printing, but I agree underground would be better than depleted uranium. Thick layer of martian ground is much easier to get than 2cm thick walls of DU.

I'm convinced this is just an underground effort by bing's PR team to get the Internet to like it for something
