That is the energy it takes to create the gas (and not the energy to extract and move around). Again, my EV goes the same distance as the average fuel economy for the same amount of energy. ICE double dip.. plus more.

Even if 101% of your electricity is coal generated, you are head of the game with EVs. My gen-1 Volt travels about 27 miles on the electricity/energy it takes to refine one gallon of gas. Basically, if you stopped refining gas, you cou

Why is IBM still making all these breakthroughs? I thought they got out of the chip business.

I remember during the 2004 presidential election I was was on some political forums arguing how EV would reach tipping point in sales and technology within about 10 years. All these people would go on and on about how batteries will always

Same as it ever was. All my best developers over the past 25 years I've managed were either physicists or mathematicians.

Jeebuz, I just want a Firefox browser that isn't a piece of crap that doesn't lock up and suck battery. Let's start there first.

Safe or not, I do not want to buy or support GMO food because I know there's probably a patent behind the seeds that can screw over farmers (and by proxy everyone else).

As a "Platinum Expert" I can tell you our sales are a fraction or a fraction Atlassian's total sales.

It is funny you should bring up brakes. On most hybrids and plugins brakes seem to last forever because regenerative braking is what is mostly used over using brake pads. My Volt has 54K miles yet my brake pads look practically new. Also, m

I tried the HTC set a few weeks ago when they were touring it around the country. I was very skeptical. The resolution of the headset isn't even that great. However, the final demo (a Portal 2 derived scene) freaked me out. I felt like

Almost every time my company gets called in to do JIRA consulting the situation is this: Devs bring JIRA in.. JIRA gets popular.. things get out of control. It is almost NEVER brought in by management.

That's not why corps eat up Confluence. My day job is Atlassian crap and I move people off of other OSS wikis into Confluence all the time. Corps just run into roadblocks with OSS wikis.

He's obviously in pain here, selling business software on NT of all platforms. The timing of this video is funny because soon after he went back to Apple to recapture the glory which is consumer electronics.
