If they would just let the cards get into the supply chain, actually limit the quantities you can buy, and not sell directly to farms it wouldn't be so bad.

Solar is there, cost wise, in most areas and wind makes sense where it's windy, so offshore and good chunks of the west/midwest. It's the storage component that's holding it back now, but honestly it's getting a lot closer. Large format batteries and the electronics to go with them have gotten...

And this is why requiring your content to be played on centralized company owned servers is idiotic.

I can't really say anything beyond the fact that I have a 13TB pool for a home media server with file level redundancy, running for about 6 months, and I've been nothing but impressed. It's easy and it's scanning tool and redundancy has already saved me some data loss when an old 2TB drive...

Personally I wish silverlight would die.

you realize micro usb is intentionally flimsy on the cord side? The switch happened, because mini usb would rip the charge port out of the phone before it broke.

Still more than worth it for me. I'm probably one of the people that are causing the price to rise. I use the hell out of my prime membership. It paid for itself in a couple of months.

Considering the big telco's already stole 200 billion meant to run fiber to the last mile, I'd have to say it's because of them.

All they really need to do is not allow the phones back on their networks after they've been reported stolen by the owner. It's not that difficult to do.

We'll see how they do with the cost of model x and beyond. If they can get their costs down having a nationwide network to recharge their cars will be a boon to their business model and may even force the other manufacturers to adopt their charging standard.

Terrorism is literally less of a danger than your average police officer or your shower. You're about as likely to be killed by lightning. We really need to put an end to this BS. With a warrant, and not by secret court order, I have no problem with electronic surveillance, but they need to...

Very poorly encrypted at the request of the US intelligence industry. The original standard was a true 128 bit encryption scheme. The dumbed down standard they started using instead is at best 56 bit and in reality lower because it has several leading zero's.

Vehicle for vehicle, Tesla's are about 5x less likely to burst into flames than the national average.

They have electrolyte in the cells; which is basically a mixture of different types of alcohol and antifreeze. Although It's not a lot. Generally just enough to keep everything damp, but have no free liquid.

couldn't agree more

Or. You know. You're running for a public office and someone else powerful wants something on you to share.

I haven't upgraded in quite a while, so I don't have it or sata3 yet. Probably upgrade in the coming year though. With new consoled coming out It may finally be worthwhile and those two previously mentioned things would be nice.

gotta add Bush to that. Obama is just as responsible for continuing and expanding his bad policies, but Bush really got the ball rolling.

Unless you're using the camera or have a critical job, like a doctor, the phone shouldn't be used during. If it is you have issues.

Have you not been paying attention? He has given interviews to try and explain himself. Others have come forward that they tried official channels and that they were ignored, fired, spied upon, and discredited for their efforts.

By took their medicine, you mean, imprisoned without a good reason other than they blew the whistle on gov't corruption? Obama is one of the best presidents in history when it comes prosecuting whistle blowers and intimidating the press for seeking the truth. Quite frankly, he disgusts me, and...

There are 2 things that really piss me off about this. The amount of resources being wasted and the violation of our constitutional rights. Anyone willing to condone either is an idiot. The threat that terrorism poses to us is negligible. You are an order of magnitude more likely to die from...

Charter is really slipping, but I know why. Their speeds have been staying the same and their prices have been going up for people with just internet, trying to force them into a bundle deal with cable and phone service. If there was a viable alternative in my area I'd be switching providers...

The sad part is that this shouldn't be news to anyone. They've been tapping all US communications for at least the last 2 decades. Now, With the NSA's new facility, they actually have the ability to store all of it, be it voice, text, or data. I'm really getting tired of this crap. Our Gov't...

I've always completely ignored achievements in games. They always seemed stupid to me. I want to play the game, not run around looking for BS little things that add little or nothing to the gameplay.

I dunno. I still really like the idea of a national sales tax, like the fair tax, and no other taxes whatsoever. It makes it impossible to "cheat" (by that I mean if you've got enough money you can get your loopholes written into law, hire a legion of lawyers and accountants to exploit said...

I'm kind of surprised that they didn't do this from the start.....

I'd be willing to bet the Win XP numbers are as high as they are, primarily; because of business'. Heck I'm writing this from work. On a laptop that came with 7, but I installed XP on for compatibility purposes, with some of legacy software I need, for my CNC machines. The other office PC's...

Not likely. There isn't that much actual lithium in the battery. Heck almost all of the cost is manufacturing. your $50 dollar cell battery may have a dollars worth of materials in it. The majority, by weight, being copper and aluminum foil. A EV sized battery pack is only going to be worth...

You realize you can get these things called locks to put dangerous things in safe places for when small children are around? All sorts of people have guns in their house and children. If they're smart, they lock them up, so the children can't play with them. It doesn't take much to keep...

Screw that. They just need to start implementing fast chargers. 99% of the time you charge at home, overnight, but there's that 1% of the time where you need to drive for longer than your range is. There's no reason why you couldn't charge most current automotive lithium ion batteries in 15 -...

And then Google comes knocking. With a vested interest in fat, cheap, unlimited pipes and deep pockets to make it happen. The cable/media companies need to pull their head out of their ass; before someone else comes along and puts them out of business.

Hopefully this is a wakeup call for the studios, broadcasters, and the like that they'd better adapt to the internet, or face a slow agonizing death. I cut the cord years ago. The only thing I have hooked up it an an antenna in the attic and that's just for the occasional baseball game and...

Yep. Surprises me too. I'm no fan of apple, but AT&T is by far the worst company I've ever had to deal with. Needless to say I kicked all of their services to the curb years ago and haven't looked back.

I agree with the general consensus. It's definitely cool, but I wouldn't want one. Seems like an accident waiting to happen and the picture doesn't look that great.

The question this time around is are they going to do it automatically 30 seconds after the window asking permission pops up; like they did before. I know that really pissed me off. I wanted to read about it and make a decision later and it auto linked to my account when I closed the popup...

No real problem with this. The company is doing great and thinking long term, they pay their employees well, and provide great services. It'd be great to see them go gangbusters expanding Google fiber, if for no other reason than, to create more competition in a market with very little of it.

I don't think you want to see most of the porn start at 4k.

I think the question is "what couldn't you do with it". While I'd rarely utilize it, if I had it, it'd offer some interesting possibility for, say, VNC. You can have your home PC/file server anywhere without a problem. Streaming your movies, playing your games, etc. on just about any PC...

Going a little fast isn't all that dangerous. It's large speed differentials between people going the same direction, people who don't know how to drive properly (know and follow the rules of passing, merging, etc), and driving like a dick that really causes accidents. They should be cracking...
