    You know how I can tell that this post is utter bullshit? There's definitely no extra room to sit down next to us...

    companies like ATi^H^H^HAMD and nVidia are going after the leftovers

    Much the same way that BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Porsche, etc are "after the leftovers" - i.e. they're only "leftovers" if you're somewhat confused when you consider the bigger picture...

    That statement would have had no effect whatsoever except amongst the minority of readers of sites like slashdot.

    Me thinks you greatly underestimate the size of the "tech aware" community...

    While that probability (and many others) may be extremely low, you can't argue that the trend has been one of such probabilities inching a little higher with each new 'tweak" of climate models. I could also see things of [such a catastrophic nature] being hushed-up... but then again, I'm one of "them crazy conspiracy thee-o-rists." ;)

    Capital punishment seems a bit severe for the crime of being the oil industry's dishonest little bitc... okay, no it doesn't. Far more appropriate, however, would be to run each side of an LT1's exhaust into each of his nonstrils, don't you think? :p

    New York is located close to the Atlantic ocean and that's one decent heatsink...

    Ha! By 2050, New York will be under the Atlantic Ocean and the only emissions will be from methane gas bubbles burping to the surface from the remains of landfills beneath the seabed...! :p

    Musk shouldn't have sunk into a he-said she-said pissing contest on the internet, he's a CEO not a slashdotter.

    I couldn't disagree more: he came out swinging, just like Audi should have done in '86 when 60 Minutes staged their bogus "investigation" into the fraudulent claims that Audi 5000's (known as the Audi 100 and 200 in the UK and Europe) could suddenly accelerate when you depressed the brake pedal.

    Of course, none of it was much of a surprise to anyone who'd been watching Audi turn the motorsports world on its ear with their all-wheel drive technology and understood how much of a threat they'd become to nearly every other major car manufacturer at the time (for an amazing and informative documentary on the subject, check out Secrets of Speed: Unfair Advantage on youtube)...

    I believe your question could be phrased "are people getting dumber?" You can either believe what you hear (that they're supposedly not) or you can believe what you see with your own eyes, in which case the answer would likely be a resounding "Yes!"

    For starters, I can't imagine it being easy to make a tablet you can open up and make changes to.

    In 1986, 60 Minutes pulled a very similar stunt and although it was clear that their claims were impossible (and the 'expert investigator' they hired later admitted he'd been paid-off), it still didn't keep them from nearly having to pull out of North America...

    Oh for fuck's sake, watches have been made for centuries and they're obviously repairable; there's nothing stopping Microsoft or Apple from making their products - no matter how slim or compact - from being repairable except the blatant greed of the sociopathic half-human fucks who run those companies...

    No. His handlers very much want - and expect - the Icelandic population to violate this law, thus transferring more control over them to a select few (a select few who are very likely miffed at the big FUCK YOU the Icelandic people delivered to The Powers That Be (tm) in recent years)...
