This sort of ignorance is bad, but at least it means there's less competition for those of us who realize that places like Nigeria are fast becoming some of the best markets for goods and services in the world.
I'm a radical libertarian and I would happily buy an electric car under the right circumstances. Having the biggest carbon footprint isn't some sort of twisted measure of how free you are.
Consider the personalities involved. I think Thatcher would have done what it took to hold them even if it was clear there was nothing there but sheep.
I agree. For things to have gotten this bad, there's an awful lot of blame to go around. For example, the judicial branch isn't any better here either.
I don't think so. I think the sales of the Boston Globe and the Washington Post this week show that old guard newspapers are now conspicuous consumption options for the super rich.
I don't know if it's "crashes everything" more often, or if it's usually just silly QA things where things are just not seamless, and malfunction in an inconvenient way that gets in the way of productivity. But broadly speaking I have to agree with you, and I say that as someone who's used Linux on the desktop for several years and no interest whatsoever in switching back to Windows.
Isn't it great that we have 300 different Linux distros? I bet that's why it was so successful with desktop consumers (in confusing them I mean).
Yes, it is great that we have so many choices. The problem getting Linux onto most users' desktops hasn't been that there are so many options. Usually when it comes to "Linux on the Desktop!!!!" there's only been one main distro getting buzz at a time, most recently Ubuntu but going back at least as far as Caldera back in the late '90s. So I don't think brand confusion is the issue here.
I don't see how a firesale would harm their chances of that. If anything, it would get products with their brand into people's hands, so that (unless it sucks) they might become known as a brand whose products in that space are worth consideration.
I mean, right now they just look like their standing there with their dicks hanging out. They don't have much to lose here.

Good ol' Tom's. Nothing beats that.
Huh. I'm a Linux Mint user, and I don't get it.
(And sad as it is that I need to include this, yes, I am going for funny here.)

Nah, it just wouldn't be the same. Greenland doesn't have enough radioactivity and it has way too much air.
Depending on what you mean by "attacked", I'm down.
The word for a guy, you mean?
Considering how energetic he seems now at 82, I wouldn't count out seeing him still be around as a centenarian.
He probably drives an old Beetle. :-)

The rise of autonomous cars might turn out to be more rapid than even the most devout Knight Rider fans were hoping.
Considering that Knight Rider was first on the air in 1982, I don't think I can agree.
a few months before he died he had dinner with sergey to mentor him.
Considering that they're competitors, I find this hard to believe.
Troll? Dafuq?

The sad thing is that I now remember fondly when Obama was compared to Carter. Now it's more like he's channelling Nixon.
I'm going with the political angle on this one...

And keeping them in a warehouse does what good for shareholders, exactly?
...I was a voracious consumer of news, up to even trying to read legislation (not with much success as I have no legal training).
That's okay. After all, legislators don't read it either.
Indeed -- led by the Pontifex Maximus and everything.
I'll bet you're a Vagan, too.
Mmm... nope, none of the jokes I have for this are publishable.
In Dominica, the default is on the left, but the reality is that you drive on whichever side is less poorly paved.
That's not a slight, though -- when you get as much rain as Dominica does, it's very, very difficult to keep roads in good repair.
It can in theory, if the moonlet is within the Hill sphere of a moon. But I don't believe there are any known instances of this in the Solar system.
