He may have meant electric power assisted brakes. Power brake are usually vacuum or hydraulic assisted brakes. Some of the newer cars have hydraulic assisted brakes where the hydraulic pressure is generated by an electric pump instead of the power steering pump.

Keep in mind that there is a lot of research going on with super capacitors. They are lighter and charge more quickly than batteries. If a breakthrough is made, you may see an electric car that can recharge in a couple of minutes.

Do you magically become responsible at 18? Perhaps 12? How about 5? 2 maybe? Do you become magically responsible enough to drive at 16? Do you magically become responsible to operate heavy machinery at 18? Do you magically become responsible enough to be President at 35? Is it possible that...

Here's a thought... One of the primary motivators of raising the drinking age is to prevent teenage driving deaths, why not raise the minimum driving age to 21? The problem, as publicized, is that 18 year olds don't have the maturity or experience to limit one of the activities when doing the other.

You need to download the new application (not the beta). From there you will be able to enter the registration code.

The video quality of the input is better than anything that you will view over the network. RF or composite doesn't matter. The video at the other end (the player) looks the same.

I have a Dish 522 hooked up to the RF input and a Tivo hookup up to the composite input. One is stacked on top of the other so one IR blaster lead goes to the Tivo and the other goes to the 522. In the Sling player, both devices are configured. From the menu, I selected the video source and the...

A couple of things. If you want to use your existing wires, you'll need to disconnect them from the phone company. You'll have to move the active phone wiring to the other pair and rewire the outlet where the DSL modem is connected. If you want to keep your DSL, you'll need to get a second...

I have a single sling box hooked up to my Dish 522 and a Tivo/ The Tivo is on the composite inputs and the 522 is on the RF inputs. I can switch inputs on the player to use either.

The 6% is the credit card bill (the cost of the money), not in addition to. Again, look at the total. If you are multiplying the costs by millions of customers, then you need to multiply the savings by the same number. To go back to the same example I gave earlier, If a rebate of $30 for a...

Personally, I like rebates. I always send them in and always get reimbursed. If you follow the instructions to the letter, you'll get your rebate. The reason I like them is that many do not send in for them. This means that rebates usually offer more dollars off than a sale price would for...

I don't celebrate Christmas, but I like the new colors. They are much easier to read than the old ones. (And yes, i AM colorblind.)

To me this whole thing seems like manufactured persecution. I am a Jew and if I was offended by someone wishing me a merry Christmas, the best thing for me to do would be to lock myself up at home from Thanksgiving to New Years (although these days maybe I better start in August :D). I always...

I have been using Vonage for about 1 1/2 years without a problem. I pay $14/mo for 500 outgoing mins. Incoming mins. are unlimited. There is unlimited outgoing service available for $25. I, too, can provide a referral, if you're interested, which will get you a free month.

You cannot do that. if the converter is 100% efficient (which it will not be), it will draw 40 amps of 110V. You can't get that much out of an outlet. If you have to put a special circuit in to do this, you might as well put a 220 volt circuit in and not bother with the conversion.

Most likely a 6 HP motors cannot run on 110 volts. The current draw would exceed what is available in the typical 110 volt circuit (20 amps max). If it can run on 110, it will be clearly marked.

His complaint was not when they froze his account. His complaint was that they make it nearly impossible to communicate with them to rectify a problem. Just another example of a business that cannot seem to put the customer in customer service.

Actually, here is where you and I disagree. If left to the market determining ownership, corporate rules apply. Maximize profits. Everything else is secondary. Let's leave the case of newspapers aside. Out of town papers are available almost everywhere. Let's talk about the case of...

'Balanced' is a relative term. Depending on your point of view, Fox can seem balanced. If you lean to the left, CNN can seem balanced. In my opinion, neither network does a good job of reporting the news. The are both more interested in sensationalizing the news. One of the problems...

Perhaps an unlicensed electrician? Call a licensed one to come out and check the installation. Deduct the amount of the electrician from the pool contract. Better yet, have the pool installation company take care of it. They are the ones that hired him (aren't they?) and are ultimately...
