You need 1.3MW...
I thought as much, but it doesn't change much. My electric company still isn't going to provide my neighborhood with that kind of capacity.
And yes, I knew I could trickle charge overnight -- we can do that now. But in an article about batteries that can take a full charge in five minutes, that's rather beside the point, don't you think?
Not that it is a problem yet.. most households lack the fusing to allow such large loads.. not something I expect to change fast as it requires a lot of expensive upgrades
Comment above says you'll need 1.3Gw.
My 220v 200A service gives me 44Kw, right?
I don't believe my electric company is going to put the kind of capacity into my neighborhood to let me recharge at home like that.
A battery recharging station next to a substation would work. The only problem is that there isn't a substation on every corner, like gas stations.
BTW, how big do the wires have to be to handle 1.3Gw without getting too hot to touch?
ugh, double negatives make my head hurt.
Sudden outbreak of common sense.
"Speculating on what the Internet could morph into under the Republicans' preferred lack of regulation,...
Well, just look how well lack of regulation worked with Credit Default Swaps in the financial markets, e.g., these past few years.
Not that I'm necessarily keen on big government, or more regulation.
Ahem.
It's not about their servers -- how many there are, or how fast they are -- it's about them colluding with the ISPs to throttle other sites.
In a pure capitalist, free market, collusion happens, and I suppose everyone is okay with it.
But the internet was originally built with my tax dollars, and I don't want rich pricks colluding to slow down some content and not others.
Seriously? Okay. The OS that probably works best with this machine is --- drum roll -- OS X.
Without hardly thinking about it it'll serve files via AFP and SMB.
Google will tell you how to enable the NFS server on it. (That's right, you don't need OS X Server.)
Streaming video? If there's open source software for Linux to do this, there's a pretty good chance it'll build on OS X too.
it may take a little more than a phillips screwdriver to accomplish this.
Yup, you'll need a Torx driver instead.
It has a solar power option too, which is important in India's less developed areas,
I predict that the added cost of the satellite phone link up will be a show stopper.
Like the number of g's for cell phones.
They should stop, because I already have an 11G phone.
