Thanks, I will look into these.

Question for you savy laptop folks. I need a laptop for a work project. Dedicated, won't move a lot. It will have to run VMWare and other project specific software in XP. Must have a serial port or a docking station with a serial port. I'd rather not use a USB-to-serial if I can. What would be a...

I really liked the end of this article.

Volt transmission explained

The Grand Canyon is awesome. I would just watch out for some of the surrounding area. Some parts of Arizona can be like a different country.

So I checked for leaks, but to be honest I have no idea how to find leaks. To clarify the problem isn't a constant rough feeling, but more of a hesitation at some times, usually associated with a change in my throttle position. I think this weekend I might put new plugs in it as I haven't...

I have a question for you smart folks here. I have a 1995 Honda Accord EX 5 speed. 300k miles. When at low load, regardless of speed or RPM, when driving the engine feel rough. If I put my foot into it or let it coast in neutral or idling at a stop the car feels normal. This started after I had...

Very cool. I would like to know how they are dealing with a saturation of renewable, intermittent, sources. It can create some interesting problems with creative solutions.

If that class has the Cruze I would go for that.

I am a part of one of the first major battery storage projects in North America. I don't work for the battery manufacturer so I cannot comment on all of that stuff about the chemistry, but there is one thing I would like to make clear. Other than super-capacitors, which at this point in time do...

I have seen a Volt or two every day for the last few weeks. Oddly, I have seen a lot of GT-Rs as well.

They do it on purpose although some are a bit extreme. When it rains a lot they use the roads as ditches. Flash floods and all that.

I hope it is good. Competition will be good for intel. I have heard mixed messages about amds latest chip.

This is completely untrue in almost every way. Profit is not a bad thing. Corporations will attempt to get a leg up on their competition and bring money into their company. It is really that simple. If the government wants to makes something cheaper by giving subsidies then the company will take...

You can come drive my Honda HV, driving nirvana.... (joke)

120v nominal +\- 10% people say 110v really mean 120v. Houses have a 4 wire single phase electrical connection that has two 120 one neutral and a ground. Going from 1 120 to another will give you 240v potential. So viper could get 240v to his car, but I doubt he needs to. Also congrats on the...

That is most likely very true, but I can only control my own actions. Also, I hate this argument as a justification. I hear it politics all the time. "They do it too!!!!!" To me that means that both parties(political or groups of individuals) are wrong. I try to stay away from generalizations...

Macguffin. Not you nomix. EDIT: Macguffin's constant anti-American rhetoric annoys me at times.

I would say that in general the American media has a lot of pride in what they do and they do a good job. I know you like to take any chance to bash America, but I don't think this is a good opportunity.

Thank you Sir. This is very helpful.
