Battery pack and cells manufactured at the Nevada gigafactory. Power from solar panels on roof plus plans to add geothermal. Their goal is to be completely powered by renewables. Anyway, ignoring the Elon hype, why would anyone buy an electric car from an ICE vendor. Tesla is so far ahead of them with worldwide supercharger deployment. Will take at least ten years to catch up.
Not $1.6M from Linux Foundation. The reporter has misquoted LF's tax form 990. The correct numbers from on the 990 say that Linus has a base salary of $350k and additional reportable benefits (health, pension, etc) adding about $290k to his compensation for a total of about $640k from Linux Foundation. Linus received $1M from "related organizations". This could be one or more members companies of the Linux Foundation. I find it sad/funny that the reporter has dox'd Linus. (And couldn't even get his numbers right.)
AFAIK, the correct way to get rid of the windows 10 nag is:
1. De-select recommended updates in Windows update 2. Uninstall KB3035583 3. Re-boot 4. Uninstall KB3035583 again (yes, it is still there! have to uninstall twice) 5. Re-boot 6. Check Installed Updates, KB3035583 should be gone
De-selecting recommended updates is important because selecting that basically says "Microsoft can install whatever updates they want"
Uninstalling KB3035583 twice is important, because it is usually still there if you only uninstall once.
Remember that this site has survived for 1500 years without government protection.
I'm not saying that this site should be open to the public. I definitely don't want hordes of tourists walking on it. Anyone who has visited Chichen Itza, Machu Pichu or Tikal knows what I mean. But do you really think that twenty people, most of them wearing running shoes (check 0:50 on the youtube video), will do that much damage? Hey slashdot, we are supposed to be the techies. How about getting before and after images and doing some digital image correlation.
I doubt there was any real damage to the site. The government is doing the right thing discouraging future visits. And Greenpeace definitely eff'd up from the public relations standpoint.
"Linksys is also providing early hardware along with SDKs and APIs to the developers of the third-party OpenWRT firmware, with plans to have custom open source firmware available for download when the router becomes commercially available."
I.e., if you don't trust the Linksys/Belkin firmware, you can install OpenWRT, dd-wrt, tomato, etc.
As Bill Gray demonstrates, the biggest obstacle to linux/FOSS deployment on the desktop will be the local admins who have a huge personal investment in the status quo.
I've been hacking around with the PowerPlay III (the Palm III) clone for about a month. My notes are at http://www3.sympatico.ca/howlettfamily/linuxda/not es.html
In summary, I'm happy with the hardware but have serious reservations about the linuxda gui library and related apps. For hacking around, this thing is great, but I wouldn't keep my address book or calendar on linuxda until they fix the reset button and at least release the information so we can build a linux desktop sync app.
For those who question the need for/usefullness of linux on a PDA - maybe you have not had the dubious pleasure of working with the PalmOS memory manager, or all the bizarre PalmOS translations of libc.

The damage has probably been exaggerated.

The tower was blown up in 1917. All that remains is a brick building which has been stripped and used as a factory.

You won't find any Tesla insight at Wardenclyffe. Better to spend your time reading his papers.

It won't be an issue until Bugs Bunny gets elected Governor of California.
I saw the shuttle in Sydney a few months ago: rusting in a parking lot surrounded by chain link fence. I'd bet it's the one for sale.
