The world needs to stop flying all over the globe anyway. When air travel is unavoidable fuel economy isn't the most important thing. Splatfree miles is what counts. Boeing is doing fine.
They do talk about range, which can make a difference on the track but look at their numbers. They're not good. The Corvette is still the better performer. Wanna talk about recharge/refill times?
Don't get me wrong. I think the Tesla is a very impressive car with some great performance specs but it's not the giant killer people make it out to be.
Why should it be about having 100% torque available at all speeds?
Sure, Lotus knows how to build a race chassis and 4 seconds to 60 is very quick but for $109k I'd much rather have a base model Corvette and $60k in the bank.
Insist on spending the whole $109k? The ZR1 Corvette will embarrass the Tesla by any meaningful performance metric.
Don't guarantee me anything. I posted after I had already done what I suggested. I said ten minutes because it took me seven and about 4 layers of phone menues.
The rep admitted right away that he didn't understand exactly what I was saying... that he did modem resets and what-not. Fair enough... please connect me with the appropriate person.
He put me on hold for about two minutes and then told me that his boss knew what I meant but that neither of them understood the implications.
I proceeded to give him a polite lesson about the fundamental problem with returning incorrect answer to a dns query. Maybe he was just a good actor, but he actually thanked me for enlightening him. Regardless, it's important for their consumers to speak their minds. He promised to escalate the complaint.
If you don't care, that's your right. The person who doesn't vote has no right to compalain, so speak your mind when it matters or shut up.
I don't know about 1-888-comcast but 1-800-comcast is a valid number and I've used it several times in the eleven years I've been their customer.
If you have about ten minutes be sure to give them a call. Explain to them that they're breaking basic internet functionality, the very service you're paying for.
No ISP should ever supply bogus dns info for domains they don't own.
Not quite so simple. They'll never miss your purchase.
It's only when think they're losing many purchases that they'll care. Write to the game company and tell them you're offended by their practice. They're profiting from those ads so they may consider your complaint unimportant.
Also write to the companies whose ads you're seeing. They're paying for the ads and might be more concerned about the negative impression it's giving people.
I can't believe how many comments I'm reading that imply it's no big deal to engage in sales fraud. Everyone does it so it must be ok?
Caveat emptor is a good doctrine but it does not excuse this type of behavior, especially where they're selling a scalpel to the face.
They did this to sell their "service" and I can only assume that it's effective. If this fraud resulted in someone's face being mangled, I'd want to see them up on charges of felony assault.
A bunch of sheepherders have decided to fleece their flock yet again. In other news, the Sun continues to rise in the East and Steve Ballmer continues to be the second biggest cunt ever born.

Many companies give employees an allowance to cover the expense of using their own car for business. Tell your boss you want this done the same way.
I think a mod point would have been wasted here as your comment already seems buried.
It's exactly what I was going to say. I know of plenty of local businesses that get ripped off and surveillance pics are usually worthless.
Fake cams are almost as good as real ones.
Now they're ready for a bigger dick.
Said the AC. Fuck off, dope.
But I was not a twitterterizer so I said nothing.
Then they banned anyone who fraternized with twitterizers, but I didn't know any twitterizers, so I still said nothing.
Eventually they came for everyone who ever heard of a twitterizer.
Dickheads won, 21-21.
This is a useless message to test the Oligarchy Control System. Please hide under the nearest desk to avoid falling chairs from the planet Uranus.
If this had been an actual emergency, M$ wouldn't have been assfucking millions of people for so many years.
This concludes this test of the emergency ass-fuck avoidance system.
There are ten times as many 737s as there are A300s so 3 times the number of fatalities is still 3 times safer.

Boeing/MD has more airlining credibility than all the rest combined. An Airbus flight would have to be 50% off for me to even consider it.
If someone can show me where other planes are safer I'd like to hear about it.
Developers aren't IT?
"..but dividing a gigantic database into pieces that are 64 time smaller doesn't make intuitive sense..."
It does if it was 64x too big to begin with. Live and learn.
but God help us all if they ever do turn evil.
I've spent plenty of time in race shops and pits. Performance is performance and economy is economy. Two different things.
Even Tesla doesn't mention efficiency in their performance specs. http://www.teslamotors.com/performance/perf_specs.php

If you consider economy a meaningful performance metric then you don't know much about fast cars.
