So instead of loading my battery i just swap it with a fully charged one and the thing is done. My old battery gets fully charged on site, and if someone else comes along he gets my old now fully charged battery.
Basically you never have to charge your Tesla again....
90 Seconds to "refill"... nice one
I can't believe that you were willing to abbr. "Google" with "GOOG" but had to use "almost" in this sentence (utterly redundant word here) or "1 GB/sec" instead of "1 GB/s"
Sorry, i don't know how much "effort" you put into your abbreviation but your title looks like a dirty hack, i would never want on the front page.
Google Car gathers 1GB/sec. What it "sees" making Left turn
That would have been better in my opinion.
With all due respect, i think the Mod changing the title is justified in this case.
"American said the issue was caused by an inability to get access to its reservations system, called Sabre. The electronic system, often described as the brains of an airline, is responsible for bookings and reservations but also manages a wide variety of functions related to flights, including printing boarding passes, online check-ins, ticketing, and tracking checked bags. [...]
Sabre, meanwhile, said American’s system outage did not come from its own computer systems. Other airlines, including Southwest Airlines and JetBlue, use the reservation system and have not experienced any outages, said Nancy St. Pierre, a spokeswoman for Sabre."
it was an honest question and i don't think your reaction is appropriate behaviour for this site.
If most think my comment is worthless, the voting system will make it enter the void. If others think it isn't it will be upvoted. That's how this site works.
Just responding with "Shut up" adds nothing to the discussion and is something i am shocked to see on this site :(
I can't neither. Codepad and Ideone are both able of doing that.
Ideone is something more than a pastebin; it's an online compiler and debugging tool which allows
to compile and run code online in more than 40 programming languages.
Very cool indeed, especially because the concept is not something astonishingly complex.
Check out NightMode and Exsistential Crisis
I consider the latter one to be the crown of this concept.
It looks even better and you have to memorize the structures laid, which makes it more interesting (especially since once you've grasped the original idea, the normal mode is not that hard at all)

I think it's wrong to speak of a hacker ethic in such strict terms. I would not say somebody is instantly not a hacker if he holds the believe that it is alright to make a project openly available and sell a corporate version with specific features for example. Where to cross the line is up to each person, the extreme example being rms, who even refuses to use a computer where the BIOS isn't free (which many hackers would say is exorbitant).
Also there are quite many companies and business models around free software / open source software.
Additional examples (granted, some of them no big shots):
-) Canonical
-) Codeweavers
-) id Software (engines under GPL, older games -> source code available)
-) Mandriva / Novell
Also there are sometimes open source strategies for certain products (OpenOffice as Open Source Variant of StarOffice for example).
And what about the hosting providers and Linux / BSD support companies, which granted, aren't global players, but there is a vast amount of them.
Is FOSS evenly compatible with profit compared to proprietary products? No, not with today's corporate and economical structures (and the strict copyright)
What goes against "Hacker Ethic" and what not? Debatable
I am also astonished by that number, but circumcision certainly seems to be an important way of fighting HIV.
"There is compelling evidence that male circumcision reduces the risk of heterosexually acquired HIV infection in men by approximately 60%."[1]
"Evidence among heterosexual men in sub-Saharan Africa shows a decreased risk of between 38 percent and 66 percent over two years"[2]
But Circumcision Rates in Africa are relatively high anyways, due to the population's religious background.[3]
Quote of New York Times Article: [4]
"Among those are 14 studies that provide what the experts characterize as “fair” evidence that circumcision in adulthood protects men from H.I.V. transmission from a female partner, cutting infection rates by 40 to 60 percent. Three of the studies were large randomized controlled trials of the kind considered the gold standard in medicine, but they were carried out in Africa, where H.I.V. — the virus the causes AIDS — is spread primarily among heterosexuals. "
"Other studies have linked male circumcision to lower rates of infection with human papillomavirus and herpes simplex Type 2."
" The procedure has long been recognized to lower urinary tract infections early in life and reduce the incidence of penile cancer."
So i guess it just all adds up in a way.
That being said, the number of over 18 billion Dollars (according to the article) being spent on this issue still astonishes me...
