    x3x53530 got a reaction from Beerzerker in In the US, life cycle emissions for EVs are 60-68% lower than gasoline.   
    Am I the only one noticing that the chart shows fuel consumed by the ICE over the life but shows no electricity used by the BEV over the life? I hate to be that person, but this looks like a propaganda piece. I understand it is very difficult to know how much emissions it will actually cost to operate an electric car given the many different sources of electricity but why is that not in their chart. If they want to get people on board with electrics, they need to not make such an easy mistake.
     
    FYI, I'm all for Hydrogen Fuel Cell cars. The benefits of electrics without the long waits for charging or like where I live, the need to own your own home to install a charger that is faster than a basic wall outlet charger.

    x3x53530 got a reaction from MrDynamicMan in Redbox Sues Disney, Buena Vista Home Entertainment, Lucasfilm, and Others over Copyright Misuse, False Advertising and Unfair Competition   
    If Redbox is paying full retail price for digital movie codes for downloads and selling them to their customers at discount, then how the hell are they making a profit on that operation. Sure they can buy a DVD or Bluray and rent it out many times to their customers to make up the cost of both physical and digital media but if their customers start purchasing far more digital codes their business model will fail. I would hate to be a long term investor in that company.
     
    As for Disney, if current copyright law allows such practices to occur then it is up to Disney to lobby the government to again change the law in their favor. I just hope that doesn't actually happen.

    x3x53530 got a reaction from Andster29 in HDD not recognized in Disk Management   
    I have had this happen with usb flash drives before after using them to install linux and such. Note the size of the drives currently installed as well as the new one. Do the following:
     
    Open a command prompt (cmd.exe) as administrator
    run the following commands:
    C:\> Diskpart
    DISKPART> list disk
    DISKPART> select disk ? (replace ? with disk # that matches the size of the new one. Make sure you select the correct disk. The disk # is usually the highest one.)
    DISKPART> clean
    DISKPART> convert mbr (or gpt) (use gpt for disk greater than 2TB)
    DISKPART> create partition primary
    DISKPART> select part 1
    DISKPART> format fs=ntfs label=(name of disk if you want one) quick
    DISKPART> assign letter (letter) (use a letter not currently in use)
    DISKPART> list volume (should see the disk listed, and it should show in disk management and Explorer)
     
    Just take your time and follow every step. Windows may prompt you to format the disk part way through the steps, just select not to and complete the steps with Diskpart.

    x3x53530 got a reaction from Big-G in Acer Preditor x34 or z35 lower refresh but IPS or higher r refresh   
    I really love my X34. I used to have a multi 1080p@60 IPS setup. The higher resolution, higher refresh and G-Sync is wonderful.
