It does matter. Even if we're generating energy by burning fossil fuels, the turbines at the plant are so much more efficient than the car engines.

So what happens when the OS doesn't return to your process in dt time? The whole point of dt is to deal with variable framerate.

> Of all the ME petrostates, UAE is by a long shot and then some the most liberal and has the most diversified economy Being the best among the worst is not exactly a good indicator. Dubai doesn't have a very diversified economy - 90%

Dubai is not self sustaining, it needs a lot of money to run. It's a bunch of half-empty skyscrapers in the desert. They need to be air conditioned, water needs to be delivered and/or desalinated, sewage needs to be taken for processing by

When the oil runs out (or alternatives become cheaper), this will be a ghost town. Heck, the whole country will collapse. No more oil, no more slave workers. Can't wait.

Well, this idiot gets to put "built a brand-new $25 million school" on his resume. He's benefiting himself without any cost, while screwing the taxpayers.

You're asking such a generic question, it means you don't really understand what you are planning to do. Is knowledge really your main problem?

I'm not buying your answer. I've never heard of any of my friends selling or buying anything on Facebook. Craigslist is their #1 choice. I buy a shit ton of random stuff on Ebay. I bought pretty much all of my sports equipment on Craigslist

If somebody wants to sell something used, why do you think they would choose facebook? Craigslist or Ebay are infinitely more likely.

I did see the numbers. They don't support your point.

This is a hoax. Mathematically and physically impossible.

Your math assumes you have a magical 100% efficient generator to convert potential energy to electrical. In reality, you will be lucky to get 50% back, and that's with a very good generator.

It sounds awesome for some large website with tons of videos, but for personal use you need a really fast uplink to make use of that service.

Not anymore. Andoid phones and tablets are way ahead of what Apple is offering, spec-wise. Android OS is even further ahead of iOS, which has been a stale grid of icons for what, almost a decade now. I agree that Apple used to be on the cut

by rorrr 14y ago
And they are right. Amazon is the next Walmart, but on a global scale. Apple is just a high-end tablet maker, and they are getting hit very heavily by their competition. You can't ride forever on the fanboy wave and the brand wave. Fanboys

Actually, I have. I got a knock-off memory card once. I threatened the seller with all kinds of things (basically send the feds after him), and he sent me the money back. Didn't even need to involve Ebay/PayPal.

Sue Paypal. It's an obvious scam, and they are, for some strange reason, ruling in favor of the scammer. Sue them for your money, for the time you spent dealing with them. Check out small claims court limits in your state, and sue them for

Ebay works great for buyers now, it just sucks for sellers. I buy on Ebay all the time, you can find all kinds of things there really cheap.

As opposed to what? Staples doing the same, but then you have to go pick it up.
