The current Americas Cup boats are dual-hull hydrofoil boats with semi-rigid sails. Depending on what direction they're travelling relative to the wind they can reach speeds of 3-4x the wind speed.

Depending on how frequently you need to make long trips it may make sense to buy a gas car. It may also make sense to buy an electric car for local trips and rent a gas car for longer trips.

The tradeoff between the two depends on the relative prices of the cars and their "fuel", as well as how frequently you make long trips.

Seriously, if you drive mostly shorter trips and have occasional need for a long-range vehicle, it may very well make more sense to rent it than drive it all the time.

Personally I drive a smallish car and own an a covered cargo trailer. The odd time that I need a minivan or pickup truck I rent one.

At my university (in Canada) 20 years ago they charged different rates depending on the college offering the class. I just checked the current fees and they continue to do this. At the low end is Arts at $192 per credit unit, Computer Science is $219, Engineering is $227, Applied Music is $290, and interestingly Law is $420.

Not true...do some research. LG has the G5, V10, and V20 with removable battery. There's also the Moto G4 Play, the Samsung J7, and probably others.

There's no reason why you couldn't structure the municipal broadband such that it has to break even over some suitable period. That would prevent it from continually being subsidized by the local municipality.

Where I live one of the main local telcos is owned by the province, and rather than being subsidized it consistently provides a profit back to the provincial government, while simultaneously being highly competitive with the big national telcos.

I think that many people on the right behave the same way, just about different topics.

And it's annoying no matter who is doing it.

You don't...so you have to buy the plant and squeeze it yourself.

Bah, never mind. Was thinking about another comment about it being the fastest production car. It's true that the 918 is faster.

The 918 isn't in production anymore.

As far as I know I've never had this happen on any of my machines. Laptops, tablets, Android media boxes, or desktop. It just hasn't been an issue.

The integrated video is now capable of running multiple high-res monitors. It's entirely valid for office work including photography stuff.

I wouldn't want to do gaming or full-on 3D CAD work, but for just about anything else it works just fine (and draws substantially less power than an external video chip, which is nice in a laptop).

I auditioned a half-dozen different speakers for a sound-reinforcement system in a church. The Bose speakers sounded okay, but didn't sound like the person that was speaking. Some of the other brands (Meyer and EAW) sounded just like the person speaking, only louder.

They're not compressing it, they're simply condensing it on a cooling coil. And I assume they're going to need some form of refrigeration for that, so I'm not sure why they talk about getting rid of chillers.

Also, the chip surfaces are shown to be vertical, so the bubbles will rise along the surface of the chip, likely creating a convection current in the process.

It seems to me that as long as you have protection against power outage, it should be possible to get equal reliability from software RAID. Fundamentally a hardware RAID card is just a processor with a NVRAM or battery-backed DRAM cache, and it's limited to a single PCIe bus connection.
