All sweeping generalisations are wrong.

XML is a fine way for computers to talk to computers, but I should never have to see it with my own eyes.

Anyone who claims it's "Human Readable" has a different definition of both "Human" and "Readable" to the rest of us.

I'll assume you meant truck.

Most of the places that deliver round here use electric vans to do so - which is exactly the right use-case for electric vehicles.
- The van's delivery route can be planned to ensure it's back at the depot well before the battery runs out - so no range anxiety.
- Once the van arrives back at the depot, the battery can be swapped and the van can be back on the road again; the old battery can be recharged ready for the next swap-out (if you're operating a fleet, it makes sense to have more batteries than vehicles; if you're running a car domestically, it doesn't).

Probably not as long as it took me to spot that mine is semi-prime... (but I had twice as many digits to deal with :-)

Space is big. Really big. You might think it's a long way down to the shops - but that's peanuts compared with space.

An on/off switch is neither "news for nerds", nor "stuff that matters"?

What do you think? This whole sorry story is a classic case of EBCAK.

All sweeping generalisations are wrong.

No, you're giving yourself the ability to install binaries from that repository. Big difference.

Dunno about your carpool lane - but you'll certainly be able to drive it in the London congestion zone without paying congestion charge.

Only if you charge the battery from the two-stroke (or the brakes)

Unlikely - this is a hybridisation for extra performance, not fuel economy.

Jay Leno's going to be disappointed if it's a one-off - I expect Nick Mason to be at the head of the queue

I ran a Saab 9000 for a while back in the late 90s, and that was about as front-heavy as a car can get (and, of course. FWD).
And yes, you could coax it into truly epic oversteer - although you'd really got to be trying.

Big old barge of a car it was - and loads of fun.

... and no range anxiety to deal with.
