So if the battery is dead how do you get in to pop the cover (probably also electric) to open the cover for the charge unit? Or put it in neutral to have it towed?
I'm pretty sure I would not like to live in a world in which I would never be offended.

Wow, you dont suppose people who can put rockets in space thought of that and put a limit on how low the battery can go or a mechanical override?
I mean, there you are, a computer nerd at his desk, and you, because you are so sure of your own incredible contribution to the world, can out think huge teams of mechanical engineers!

"Huge teams of mechanical engineers" still aren't beyond collectively making stupid mistakes. Ask NASA about some of the probes they've lost.

Out of curiosity I priced up the X in AUD, entry level $146k, top of the range with all the bits $283k, ouch!
I like the looks of the X, the entry level would suit me very nicely but as I bought a Mazda CX5 for $26k (admittedly it was 2nd hand but less than 10k on the speedo) I think I'll just hang on to the extra $120k.

It is very expensive, and definitely not worth it, but it is showing us the future of the car. That was my point.

Are you considering buying one ?

Reminds me of a quote from a Spider Robinson novel. It sort of goes …

Now I know why the code written by some recent contractors is full of peonies.

Here's the deal, Marc Clifton has written an astoundingly good article which I believe epitomizes what CP is all about.
His article is up for article of the month (web) and you can vote for it here :
Survey Voting Form - Best Web Dev Article of April 2018[^]
I Am Not Affiliated With Marc Clifton
I assure you I am in no way affiliated with Marc Clifton but I know an award-winning article when I read it.
Further, my article is in the running for that same contest, but Marc's article is far better and you can tell he put loads of work into it. Please take a few seconds and vote for his article.
Here's a link directly to his article:
Build a Prototype Web-Based Diagramming App with SVG and Javascript[^]
Reason
It's just that when you read an article this good which is so evident that an author put so much work into it, you got to give props.

You're right. It's a great article. Just voted.
When you are dead, you won't even know that you are dead. It's a pain only felt by others.
Same thing when you are stupid.

Speechless. Thanks raddevus, your post (and the comment you left in the article itself) made my day (my week actually!)

It is extremely well-deserved. Your article _must_ win.
It is fantastic and I am stunned by how much work absolutely had to go into that.

A lot of it was research and googling how to do things. Once I got the basics handled, I started adding more pieces, but the implementation was really just a view-controller. At that point, I started writing the article because I didn't want to forget all the lessons I'd learned up to that.
The irony was, I hadn't added connection points yet, figuring I could do that after writing about the basics. It was then that I realized the V-C pattern was not going to handle it, and I needed a true MVC model. Besides, I had kludges I wasn't happy with. Oi! So right in the middle of the article, I switch to a true MVC pattern and ended up refactoring almost all the code. Hence the section "Refactoring the Prototype to use an MVC Pattern."
It was an interesting decision point. Do I rewrite the article at that point, starting with an MVC pattern, or do I let the prototype remain and explain the switch to MVC. I decided to let it remain as is and talk about refactoring it to an MVC pattern, figuring it would be educational and besides, I don't mind showing my dirty laundry, as it were. The reader gets to see more of the development process that way rather than just being presented with a finished product.
So, thanks again for your amazing feedback!

If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

Marc always delivers the goods (along with Mr Barber). Their articles should be used as templates for how it is done.
Keep your friends close. Keep Kill your enemies closer.
