  1. Re:132mph = 416hp? What? on Tesla Model S Can Hit (At Least) 132 MPH On the Autobahn · · Score: 1

    so handling at high speed is why this 416 monster can get passed by a upper end 4 cylinder in the long run?

    I had a couple old eclipses that could get around this speed and feel like you were traveling at 45mph, both were less than 200hp, it sounds more like Tesla has some serious gear ratio problems, or they are bullshitting the HP number with ...I dunno inrush power consumption

  2. Well on Dell Fixes Ultrabook That Smelled of Cat Urine · · Score: 1

    Least it was representative of the overall product before the fix

  3. Goodwill sucks on Welcome to the Goodwill Computer Museum (Video) · · Score: 1

    While spending tons of money on national commercials they have the balls to charge you 35lb shipping on their auction website, but when you go to a store all they have is miles of out of date ragged clothing, 50 George Forman grills, and some shitty ass alarm clocks

    they go out of their way to seperate products from accessories, charging near ebay prices for near garbage all tossed in a cement mixer with the trademark goodwill brown funk.

    If there is a deal to be had in there, its a god damed rarity, and I used to visit 3 of them once a week, its not even worth bothering to show up.

    And who do you help? the 19 year old asshat wearing 200$ shoes and sporting a 100$ haircut that treats your donations like garbage, infact seeing them toss it in the garbage on more than one occasion. Goodwill? fuck that noise

  4. Re:No on Is 3D Printing the Future of Disaster Relief? · · Score: 1

    a 3d printer and raw supplies are not weightless and you have to wait hours before getting one produced good out of them, meanwhile for the same space and weight you could send thousands of any of the items listed in the summary

  5. Re:incandescent != sodium on NYC's 250,000 Street Lights To Be Replaced With LEDs By 2017 · · Score: 1

    the problem with replacement "bulbs" in LED is they have to take a fairly expensive complicated technology and compete with non complicated established technology. Even the expensive bulbs use the absolute cheapest methods and materials they can get their hands on.

    Having cheap LED's with the only thing between them and the electrical grid being a 2 watt resistor and a slug of what you hope is zinc is going to expose them to a freaking ton of abuse, and thus drastically shorter time periods. Doing it right would increase the cost of the bulb so much that every yutz in the universe will avoid the product and buy the first 9.99$ LED bulb shipped directly out of china with a phoney UL listing.

  10. so they are cab's on Finland's Algorithm-Driven Public Bus · · Score: 1

    but with vans

    I have shared many van cab's though out the years, especially in smaller countries, split the cost and used a phone to schedule a pickup. Other than a name change so taxi's cant do anything about being undercut by the government, whats the news?

  15. Re:Just to get this straight... on Cadillac Unveils Pricier Alternative To Tesla Model S · · Score: 1

    yep you hit it on the head, its another shining example of how GM just does not "get it" and how they should have been alow to fail rather than wasting everyone's time headed right back down the same freaking road

  19. Just cause more use it doesnt mean its more free on The Ridiculous Tech Fees You're Still Paying · · Score: 0

    I think people get so used to things they forget how much SHIT goes on in the background to make this stuff work. Honestly this "article" is nothing but a ranting old man bitching about how privileges should become entitlements as he hopscotches around the world on some one else's dime just to bring us drivel like this.

    what you see is the republican party making a last ditch desperate move on something they already lost over a dozen times in order to seem releveant while their entire party is busy eating its own soul from the inside out.
