With Micro-USB, it was exactly the same, just five years early.

Long before the E.U. legislation went into effect, there were long consultations which standard to adhere too. So tech companies had enough time to read the writing on the wall and move. That was the reason why USB-C was ubiquitous everywhere when the due date came. Apple was struggling for some time, debating the idea, but finally caved with the 16 series.

Your argument is a typical strawman argument. You postulate the idea that the E.U. came up with USB-C as the next standard out of the blue, and then argue that companies were already transitioning when the legislation was finalized. But your postulate is (probably intentionally) wrong.

Not exactly. Personal originally meant "not shared with another person". Originally, it meant a computer only you have access to, only you install and run software, and only you store and retrieve data.

Apparently, you have never installed Nagios. Back in the days, when you ran the install script, it wrote out what it was doing, and then suddenly the lines appeared:

It was the same warning to you to vet any code before executing it.

Pretty high, I would wager. Alcohol and coding don't mix.

I predict the same for the enhanced games. There is not much to win for competitors in the games outside the event. Except for some sellers of questionable supplements, there are probably not many wanting to advertise with steroid-pumped up people, and there are not many other events they can start in. They have to earn all their money with the enhanced games. That means you only get second-level people competing, which will turn the show into some kind of Survivor set on a track and field court.

The article even mentioned the relationship. When laminar flow turns into turbulent flow, aerodynamic drag increases. Turbulent flow in turn is what we hear as noise. You can also reason that noise is acoustic energy, and that noise is a parasitic load on the action we want the fan to do: moving air from one side to the other side.

Doping was done under medical supervision before. It still was not safe. Florence Griffith-Joyner and Marco Pantani both were doped in hospitals, and Eufemanio Fuentes was a physician whose speciality was doping. Being from Europe, I know more of the European side of doping, including the death of Birgit Dressel, who was a patient of University teacher Armin Kluemper.

Someone remember the XFL? This one petered out quickly too.

Yes. And not every wavelength gets absorbed by cloud cover.

1. You don't get speeds up to 2.5 Gps easily over several hundred miles without relay stations.
2. To intercept a laser signal, you have to be right in the beam. The same applies for jamming. Cloud cover is a problem for visible light, but not for infrared light.

There are not many U.S. style SUVs sold in the E.U. anyway. They don't fit on many parking lots or in parking garages.

No one disputes that things may not work for you as they work for me. I don't have a car at all, and I am pretty sure that does not work for most other people. But in general, an EV might work for you because the reasons you cite might not really be valid, but based on misconceptions. And if someone who has experience with EVs tells you that you might not judge correctly, because you assume things about EVs you should not easily assume, you could try to listen instead of feeling attacked. It might be that in the end, you are really not a good fit for an EV (neither am I, hence no car at all), but it would probably not be for the reasons you think.

Thatâs actually not what they are saying, but what you like to understand. Instead, they point out that EVs behave differently than internal combustion engine cars, and criteria which are fine for the later donât match nicely with EVs. Instead of profiteering from the experience and knowledge of EV owners, you prefer to feel personally attacked. So be it.

Then the new BYD battery/charger infrastructure is the right thing for you, with recharge times of 7 minutes.
