arikmoon commented on DIY XR3 225 MPG Hybrid Car Kit Finally Finished, Hits the Road Soon for $25,000

"I'm amazed at all the comments about the 23HP motor not being powerful enough. For tech article readers, you don't know much about hybrids. The 23HP motor is merely a generator for the 'electric' motors that this will run on. I doubt the 23HP motor is even connected to the drive shaft."

"To burden the discussion with one more topic, think security. If a Net Neutrality bill were successful, your ISP would legally have to remove all virus/vulnerability traffic they're currently filtering. No thanks."

"@rlreif: I really do applaud your electric company analogy, it almost makes the point. The fallacy with that argument is that the electric company has no "way/means" to detect what devices you have plugged in. If Eureka vacuums were shown to be causing problems for the electric grid because they're consistently utilizing 60% of the power capacity for a service area, AND the electric company had the ability to throttle/block Eureka vacuums, I'm sure they would. Apples to Oranges, they're both fruity and delicious, but their comparison ends there."

"@Ryan H: The issue isn't an occasional spike, its the P2P apps that are damaging the other money making ventures like VOIP, surfing, streaming video from providers like apple and netflix, online gaming services... @rlreif: If your electric consumption was causing brownouts for that electric company's service area, I'm sure they'd want to do the same thing. Just because you recieve power service from a power company doesn't mean you can use what you want...there's a finite amount of the stuff...just like bandwidth."

"So there's a problem with a company implementing a QoS (Quality of Service) ruleset to ensure all customers get good/decent service? This bill would say that ISP's can't throttle certain traffic. You cannot treat all internet traffic the same; not everybody wants to share their music and movies."
