Tampa Bay school gets pair of plug-in hybrid buses

Jul 23rd 2007 2:12PM (Engadget)
$225k for a school bus? I thought $110k was wayy too much, though I suppose with liability concerns, limited mass-production and whatnot.. but still, the engineering of a hybrid system, without all the space constraints of a car, how much of that extra $100k or so is extra battery?!

But I'd think that bus transportation is probably the best possible case scenario for a serial hybrid plugin vehicle, assuming regenerative braking of course.

Shadowrun developer gets honest (or scary)

I _am_ a fan of the original pen & paper RPG, and all I can say is I wish cancer on the folks responsible for this abomination.

Fatal, incurable and cripplingly painful cancer.

Toshiba's HD-A2 HD DVD player going for a mere $199

Yeah, Warner has HDDVDs (Goodfellas is the one I have, Blade Runner is the one I want), and Universal is not just the exclusives like _The Big Lebowski_ and _Dune_, but all the NBC and related cable properties' shows like _Heroes_ and _Battlestar Galactica_..

Woz arrives via Segway for the Showtime event

Jeez, you people are douchebags.. Woz is a living legend whose toe-jam you are not worthy to freebase, so STFU. He's got more brains in one little finger than an entire Chelsea bar full of graphic designers and Flash developers.

Sony's VGP-XL1B2 200 DVD changer for HTPCs

Aug 22nd 2006 12:11PM (Engadget)
If I can find linux drivers for this, it would be a fscking godsend. This thing is meant to be hooked to a HTPC, so playback is redundant. Has anyone dissing this device actually USED a sony DVD megachanger lately? News flash: THEY SUCK. The interface is slow, ugly, and they haven't yet figured out how to read title and art off of DVDs to prepopulate the catalog!

Using Myth as a frontend that can "cddb"-ize loaded DVDs would be a huge fscking win.

Also, it's a burner, so it's another huge win for SOHO backup management (if you can get proper changer drivers over firewire).

Nope, this is actually what I'm looking for, assuming of course that there's linux or OS X support.
