VW Set To Release Diesel Hybrid 179

SUVs_SUCK writes "It's official — Volkswagen is unveiling a hybrid to challenge the mighty Toyota Prius. And not just any hybrid, but a diesel-electric hybrid it says will deliver 69.9 mpg. Auto Express says the Golf hybrid will be offered for sale in Europe by the end of next year. No word yet on when we might see it in the US."

WATFIV indeed... So long as you got the JCL (job control language) right: I remember mistakenly feeding my first program to PL/C (an eager error-correcting PL/1 compiler). The compiler attempted to "correct" my program, averaging 3-4 errors per line until it gave up turning Fortran into PL/1.

To watch just a few dozen punched cards generate such massive (and embarassing) output on the line printer is something I'll never forget!

It was on an IBM 360.
