  1. Which may explain why he's on long-haired blonde hottie number 3.
    Musk seems to definitely have a type - and to not deviate from it.
    I haven't seen a celeb whose ladies so strongly resemble each other since John Derek - Ursula Andress / Linda Evans / Bo Derek.
    Although Derek's 1st wife Patti Behrs didn't fit the chesty, scrawny-legged blonde mold

  2. How do you expect a company to not be haemorrhaging money, when they're ramping up to be able to make 500000 cars in 2018?

    The problem is if they can realistically recoup those losses and turn them into profits within the next few years.
    If they're not at least breaking even by the time they clear the backlog of Model 3 reservations, I don't see how they'll survive

    Tesla has quite a few veterans on the payroll. I wonder how many of those suffer PTSD events on the job.

  4. It's pretty easy to sleep on a factory floor for the night when you can make up for it by sleeping in your yacht in the Bahamas the next night. There are probably a lot better ways he could have made the point. It's things like this that make me think Musk is really out of touch.

    You confusing him with Richard Branson. Musk has 5 young boys. Sleeping on the factory floor is probably no more stressful than trying to get a good night's sleep at home.

  5. "because she won't let me drive it"
    Not even once? Are you allowed to sit in it? Do you sleep in separate beds, too?

    If you can get people there without the proteins in their brain being denatured by radiation, maybe you could keep them that way for extended periods without their brains turning into scrambled eggs.

    It's too late for that. Just look what 20 years of FOX "News" has done to brains of millions...

    Roger Ailes is dead but only after he left Fox so perhaps you need to be close to the source to have scrambled brains & a long life

    Don't accuse someone else of being insane when you're ignorant of the fact that Viktor Yanukovych was Putin's MiniMe & kleptocratic student par excellence or that the charges levied against Yulia Tymoshenko were bullshit.

    Yes, the justification for the Iraq War was founded on lies - as I and many others said at the time and even after Hussein's head was nearly ripped off at his hanging.
    And guess what? Those assholes, while not in prison as they deserve, are largely gone from the government & have been for nearly a decade.
    Meanwhile your little buddy Vlad had been in power since the start of the 21st century and kids born when he took office have reached voting age which would have play very nicely into the soulless smurf's plans as he's very popular with the young'uns.

    Any argument or reason can be wrongly applied. That doesn't make it invalid in a specific case.
    Fact is that Flynn - a fucking former general & director of national intelligence - kept his meeting with Kislyak a secret and "forgot" to register as a paid foreign agent.
    And Sessions also "forgot" meeting Kislyak.

    Have Republicans forgotten that Putin used to be a Colonel in the KGB back when it was still Reagan's Evil Empire?
    And that he's engineered ways to keep himself in power while running the world's largest kleptocracy?
    They've been fawning over him for so long I'm surprised they haven't sent Larry Craig or Phil Hinkle to suck him off

    Fair point, though neither of them are marketed products. I'm guessing wrt the latter, Torvalds learnt american english and so never found out that in british english "git" is a somewhat unpleasent insult.

    I looked up the company's staffers and the founders are Spencer Kimball & Peter Mattis, the UCBerkeley roommates who gave us GIMP. Guess their sense of humor hasn't changed since their salad days.

  17. My original Athlon64 x2 was a Gigabyte board with Nvidia NForce570 SLI although I never bothered getting a 2nd video card.
    I have no complaints about that board; only abandoned it to get DDR3 / quad-core support. It's off in a corner somewhere; will probably make a firewall or NAS out of it when I find the time.

  18. I had fond memories of the AMD Athlon 64 processor when it first came out. After owning a half-dozen Socket 7 processors and just as many motherboards, this one kicked ass and I had it for a long time. I didn't upgrade to a 64-bit version of Windows until Vista came out and I built a new system, jumping from dual- to quad- to eight-core in ten years.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Athlon_64#Single-core_Athlon_64

    I did pretty much the same, except for making the core 2-4-8 journey in 6 years and erased Vista after struggling with it for less than a month. How that Ryzen is here and seems to be living up to the hype, this Xmas I'll build my 1st all-new desktop in 5 years.

    Well, "kill off the Alpha [...] with the Itanium"...
    Intel bought the rights for Alpha and discontinued it. That killed it.
    Itanium would never have been able to compete with Alpha and replace it otherwise.

    Alpha was great but when Pentium Pro came out and delivered good performance at a much lower price... that was the beginning of the end for Alpha.

    The Alpha died when Compaq acquired DEC and dumped most of the engineering team who then joined some of the old Cyrix designers acquired by AMD and became the K7 engineering team that delivered the Athlon in 1999

    Oh for fuck's sake. Trump's "fake news" (what used to be called propaganda") has really poisoned weak minds.
    What it's come down to is that there are no unbiased sites; only ones you agree with or don't.
    Which plays very nicely into Mango Mussolini's hands.
