I'm thinking you're going to have a major problem with brightness, or lack thereof. It's going to be nearly impossible to see these screens in the daytime, which would make this problematic, if not totally illegal, unfortunately.

And still, nobody has mentioned Win+X. Guess it really is (Well, was) a hidden gem.

Or you can open it in VLC on any system you like. Just paste this in Open Network menu: http://qthttp.apple.com.edgesuite.net/1210pibasdfvoihbadsv/atv_direct_mvp.m3u8 (Thanks OSXDaily)

Like fluorescent, CFL's flicker at the same frequency as the power grid (60Hz in US/Canada, 50Hz in the UK). They have a little phosphorescence, but not enough to eliminate the flicker entirely. In workshops and the like, where spinning drills and moving sanding drums/belts/saws are a safety issue, fluorescent lights…

Talk about a unitasker. Alton Brown would be very disappointed.

You got his name wrong, I'm afraid. He is "Sir The Reverend Dr. Stephen T. Mos Def Colbert D.F.A.", after Common (formerly Mos Def) transferred to him the rights and privileges of the "Mos Def" name. Wikipedia also says he claims the subtitle of "Heavyweight champion of the world", but I don't recall when he earned…

And even though the headline has been subsequently corrected, the error lives on forever in the URL...

Congratulations! You are one of the 2% of people for whom an electric vehicle is not an appropriate commuting method.

You mean like Tesla does with the Model S? Or Ford's electric Focus? Or Nissan's Leaf? Or Mitsubishi's iMiEV? They all have network connectivity through cellular systems, so you don't have to rely on internet access provided by anyone else every time you plug in.

The more current you want to transfer, the larger the cables (and connectors) have to be. If you try to put too much current through a too-thin wire, it becomes something like lightbulb filament, heating up and creating more resistance. As with all these things, increasing power demands leads to a balancing act…

At the moment, around 100 miles. With the Model S coming out soon, that can go up to a theoretical 300-odd miles.

Given just how heavily corn is subsidized in the US, it's not that much of a problem. Also look at the virtual "Lake" of sunflower/olive oil in Europe thanks to subsidies.

Ain't that the truth.

My question is, how can it tell the difference between walking forwards and walking backwards?

Yes. So much so that for some movies I grab an extra (hilarious) commentary track from RiffTrax. I mean, how else do you make a stinker like Battlefield Earth into a hilarious period of side-splitting fun?

Well, Costco obviously didn't want to make a deal, as they had to keep stocks for their other customers. And oftentimes it turns out that big retail chains (like Wal-Mart and Costco) have the purchasing power to negotiate deals with suppliers that end up undercutting what you can get direct, even after profits and…

If you read the actual article, they did try buying online, with gift cards and more, and were rebuffed there too.

Let's see. I'm missing some of them, but here's what I could get, in order, by timecode.

Because this is faster. There is always a car ready for you, no matter which direction you want to go in, and you don't have to wait for other people to get on and get off before you can get out at your destination.

A friend of mine had a real problem with UK customs and excise over something similar. At the time, he was working for a UK-based computer magazine, and a company sent him a few copies of their new game to review and give away as prizes in competitions.
