The key point that I am trying to drive home is the limit on the amount of
solar power available. This is a hard limit: ~1000 watts/square meter is
the peak under ideal conditions. A more usable number is 200 watts during
daytime, which takes into account average cloud cover and reduced energy
I have to comment after the recent post about the zero day exploit in Apple's

While this is an issue, why is it a big deal when the other OS out there has

Because Apple has allowed the popular impression that their OS is not
susceptible to attacks to persist, and the lack of a regularly scheduled
patch process fosters that. This is also part of the reason iOS is not

Agreed with the car situation. No matter who runs under the hood, it's going to
be a big bullseye
A: Because the other OS out there, (also Linux), recognize that there are
bugs to be fixed and holes to be patched, and do so on a manageable
schedule instead of claiming (at least by the fan boys) that they are
superior and invincible.
B: Since the last discussion was about an Apple car. No OS
