No surprise here - the last 20% of project taking 80% of development time.

Imagine a Beowolf cluster of SCO lawyers.

Huge differences in tap water quality in Bay Area. Contrast pure SF city water sourced from run-off from Sierra granite to salt-laden water pulled from the Sacramento River delta in Contra Costa County.

Dude, you're blowing my mind which your causality warping.

Sometimes you eat the bear, and sometimes the bear eats you.

Is it usable on raspberry pi or any of the other ARM boards?

You must be new to the internet. These numbers are very wishful thinking for some undetermined future date.

By what metric is it "good enough"? Appears to me to be not good enough by a long shot. VTOL is especially energy intensive.

Energy Density:

Jet fuel - 46 MJ/kg

Lithium-ion battery - less than 1 MJ/kg

hey! seeder siddy, utarh.

So glad to see others complaining about this. I am totally dismayed at the sluggishness of LAtimes.com. It was usable with an adblocker turned on but since being forced to turn it off recently the only computer I can use it on is a dual xeon with 32G memory and a modern gaming card and even then it's a struggle. I'm shocked that the this kind of botched hackery can exist at a major newspaper. It's ugly bad.

My pain at the loss of the Google loophole is tempered by the realization that the WSJ has largely become a propaganda organ of the GOP.

speed != bandwidth

Sounds like someone doesn't want to be a VIP.

Did you mean to use the term fluidity rather than the term viscosity? I believe they are mathematically inverse.

This guy smells Mormon. Most of the kids likely interrupted their college with 18 month (girls) or 2-year (boys) proselyting missions. I envy his discipline and dedication.

throw it in a pot, add some broth, a potato... baby, you've got a stew going

> And I get an alphabetical list of elements, the first one being "Abide", which...I have no idea what the name has to do with the element, whatever the element does.

Obviously you’re not a golfer

1981 Vanagon Westfalia is aircooled. Contrast that with the 1982 diesel with a heavier engine block and a cooling system.

Let me clarify... 4,500 lbs is about what it weighs with me and the junk I carry around on a daily basis. Very possible for it to be well over 5,000 lbs with a passenger and camping gear, full fuel, water and propane tanks.

See: http://www.roadhaus.com/tires/load.html

I've got the 52hp diesel Vanagon camper weighing over 4,500 in my garage. Freeway performance is..... underwhelming.

My Westy Vanagon is around 4,500 lb.

> I'm convinced that most people that gets small trucks would do better with minivans.

Agree. I would add that most in an SUV would be better off in a minivan. The minivan is the perfect way to quickly cover long distances in comfort for 3+ people.

Speaking of cargo space, the latest Chrysler minivan products have lie-flat rear seating that disappears into the floor and provides a huge flat area for sleeping/transport.

My family fleet consists of a Chrysler minivan, two Honda Accords, Toyota Tacoma 4x4, diesel VW beetle and diesel VW Westfalia Camper Van. The minivan is by far the most practical car and the easiest and most comfortable to travel in.

> downside is how you are sometimes perceived, and thus treated, when on the highway..

Also my experience. No one wants to be behind a mom van and no one wants to be passed by a mom van. Often get passed while going 10+ over the speed limit only to have the person pull in front and slow back down the the posted speed. Ironically, the 3.6 Pentastar engine in the Chrysler minivan is the most powerful engine by far in my fleet at almost 300HP. Fuel mileage is close to 25mpg when cruise is set at 70mph.

Minivan is rational purchase but we are not rational beings, especially when it comes to car purchases. Choice of vehicle represents our aspirations, self-image, etc.

Great troll but I would criticize using the cops as the Boogeyman.

What happens to Google/Facebook's retired hardware? Is it all just scrapped?

Reminds me of the Monty Python skit with the price of crotchless panties skyrocketing on Jupiter. It's all about supply and demand.
