how does this help us transition away from gasoline-based engines?
I don't know that any combustion system makes sense in a purely electric car, and I am not sure if hydrogen combustion benefits more from laser ignition or a regular old spark plug.
Other than the LASERS!!! effect, I don't see how this technology actually contributes to the issue currently at hand.
65 megawatts of power -- about the same amount used by every home in Salt Lake City
Those must be some big houses. I wonder how much they all use in total!
I'm sure they mean every home in Salt Lake City uses a combined 65Mw (per month?), as opposed to every individual home uses 65Mw.
sitting on a domain name unproductively with the intent to hope someone will come along and pay your ransom is not what most people consider legitimate business. while some URL's sell for high premiums because of the website behind it, or simply the value of the name itself (consider systemax's acquisitions of circuitcity and compusa URL, trademark, logo, etc.), this is not the case of many URL squatters who simply buy up every domain in sight, hoping one will make a payoff when a corporation takes interest.
If the owner hopes to invest in domain names, they should be expected to work the value of the name. but i disagree completely that a business hopeful with an actual use for a domain name should happily pay the extortion of a common domain thug.
Logic is the chastity belt of the mind!
