It sure does, at least when you need the heater. In a conventional car, you'll get lots of extraneous heat from the engine, so heating is basically free. In the case of an electric car, an electric heating elements must be used with th

In Finnish driving schools we are taught to try to put our feet on the car ceiling in a situation like that. It seems pretty difficult, but gravity helps when you're upside down and actually in a need for that trick. That way one can a

Even with this kind of device, it is still very doubtful if Nokia is going to get any kind of success with Windows Phone. Their market share drop has been nothing short of catastrophic everywhere but in the US, where they never had signific

Hmm, indeed. Some sort of rogue mesh network installation powered by induction should be interesting for people like the Syrian opposition.

I think you end up having less total engine weight that way.

If part of the rendering engine runs in their servers and not in the phone, there's no chance of keeping the end-to-end encryption. Their servers need to decrypt the traffic to render it and then (hopefully!) re-encrypt it to safely deliver

One has to remember that our bodies' ability to cope with all sorts of diets and environmental factors was most probably a very beneficial thing for prehistoric man. For them it wasn't possible to just change their diet or lifestyle, if the

Yeah, this is due to their clever predictive local echo not being that clever all the time. When the client sees that sending ^H actually results in character disappearing, it imitates that behaviour locally for next ^H:s making you experie

So far. Nothing stops game publishers from shipping a Windows game with Wine strapped on the side if it results in a working game.

In Linux game packaging, this issue is often resolved by having a separate package for game data. This is also a neat workaround for licensing differences. For example Quake 3 is now open source, but the game data is still under commercial

At least when I was a teenager, I didn't have a credit card number of my own and it would have been a PITA to negotiate my parents to let me use theirs every time I wanted something that cost just a couple of dollars (some shareware at that

If I consider myself, I've never spent even half of the 120€ a year on music as I now do with Spotify. I'm fairly sure that my case isn't that uncommon with others of my generation, born in 80s or later. A big part of this generation has ne

You're still dependent on your Intenet service provider's decisions. If your ISP decides to have some downtime while you've got a critical deadline, there's not much you can do to make your e-mail flow. And Google probably has less downtime

Okay, you got me. Still, burning stuff locally is in the same ballpark as running a heat pump with the electricity. Should microturbines become feasible to buy and operate in every home, it would be the most efficient way, running a heat pu

Market effects affect to the economic perspective, but considering the transformation of fuel to heat, gas is sure to be more efficient. Electricity used to run the heater is generated by burning something and running a turbine - a process

Go to any big company's datacenter and you'll be sure to find some virtual machines that are in production. There is some performance penalty for sure, but the added flexibility and reliability covers that neatly. If your VM host seems to b

At least TF coverage seems to be fairly faithful to original information spread over Facebook in Finnish. Of course it's harder to know for sure what the actual facts are behind this.

Deploying on N9 seems to be a real possibility. Currently they seem to be doing their development on N950, the qwerty-equipped sister model of N9 that never was brought to the market.

He also recently said it's "a cross between a Concorde and a rail gun". That would at least enforce the maglev principle Jacques envisioned. It wouldn't be quite a Concorde in the pressurized tube though. But it's not impossibly far away fr

The tightness of the layout probably stems from low resolution screens. In '96 the most typical display size was something around 640x480 or 800x600, not a lot of room to breathe there.

I think the manufacturers are trying to make restaurants, public transport and maybe even office furniture companies to add those charging surfaces everywhere. That way your phone would pick up some power here and there.

A bit OT, but I sure hope you trolls can resume building Saab cars soon. I understood they're going to be some sort of electric vehicles?

It could be possible that the format was first very reasonable, but the surrounding platform has changed completely during the development. Then the new layers of specification have been added in a form that seemed to be the best possible s
