Agreed, and my mom only has street parking. This will take a while to change...and certain neighborhoods will never be very good for it. (ie: ones without driveways)
Okay, the batteries are warrantied for 8 years, and either 100,000 miles for the cheapest model or unlimited miles in the more expensive model. That's pretty close to the general 10 year life for a new car.
Oh, as far as I know, only Dodge offered an unlimited lifetime powertrain warranty. Most new cars give you 36,000-60,000 miles.
How many hundreds of thousands did you British kill, especially after disarming others in America? in India?
Yes, the reason we hold onto our guns so dearly, is cause you British were fucking god-awful damn tyrants. And you know what, the truth is, there ain't all that much evolution of humans in the past 200 years. Which means, yes, you or another group of people or government could EASILY become the same fucking mass-murdering fucks.
Chew on that...:-P

Wow...that was fun, I don't usually do profanity laced tirades. Maybe I should do that more often. That felt great.
The point of the loan was to facilitate the acquisition of "production facilities"...which they have done. Leasing half of the old joint plant that Toyota/GM built.
They don't need to be paying interest on $500 million, when they now have a billion in cash. That's negative flow.
Pets.com was trying to ship heavy product at a discount. No go man....bad business model.
Tesla, made $11 million. Hey, they're profitable on a new tech. That's impressive. Hence, if they can make a profit (not sure Chevy or Nissan is doing that on the Volt or Leaf yet). Then yes, people figured it was worth investing in their stock.
Elon did the smart thing. Used stock to clear out debt.
With all the money you save on gas driving a Tesla. You can rent a luxury Lincoln Navigator SUV or even an RV and drive from NYC to LA and still have a net savings on gas and $$$ over a BMW 7.
And the rest of the time you get to drive a cooler car.;-)
Well, I agree with the gun registration makes no sense. Especially, when you are informed that United States law prohibits requiring a convicted felon from registering their guns.
That's right. Law abiding citizens are the ONLY ONES required to register guns. As registering a gun would be tantamount to incriminalizing one's self if a felon. They are legally excluded from needing to do so.
Yes, U.S. law is amazing, ain't it?

So lets address your common sense. In order to register a gun in DC (under best hypothetical scenario) you need a background check, training, and a test. Of course, since you're moving to DC...you ALREADY own your guns.
Second, it wasn't until recently that you could even register a handgun in DC.
Third, in order to buy a gun as a DC resident, it has to be transferred by a licensed FFL dealer in DC. Of which there is one. And DC hasn't made it easy for new dealers to be licensed in their district.
Enjoy this one reporter's article....apparently it took her 9 months to become registered.
So how do you go about moving into DC and registering your existing guns....oh, I wager you can't unless you're a DC resident. And of course, you need them registered before you move into DC. Common sense man...
And then you wonder why gun owners oppose almost every law you guys try to pass. Because there is no common sense. And if you guys had to deal with what gun owners deal with to own a car. You'd probably drive your car off a cliff.
Those are actually fairly low...especially if you exclude the children of law enforcement officers and military. Who would still be vulnerable.
Most gun deaths are suicides. Many accidents, are likely suicides but do not get labeled such. "Man accidentally shot and killed himself while cleaning his rifle." is police speak for "suicide" but let's make sure this guys family collects his life insurance policy.
But you're basing that on a false hypothesis. That the number of folks harmed in crimes, raped or murdered is tied to the existence of guns.
Because, such criminals did not exist before the invention of guns... (interesting fact, the firearm is likely what put an end to roving hoards of brigands. Because now a farmer was able to stand up against a 6'4" brigand)
"The invention is directed to a communications protocol which facilitates the exchange of interface information between a host processor and a terminal, such as a workstation, smart phone, portable computer, etc.,"
Yes, I know there were links to entire other articles. Including ones I knew would have mention of the patent, and likely a link to THE patent. But I was lazy today, and this story wasn't that intriguing for me.
So I just wanted to know what they were actually being sued for. I figured they had 2-3 paragraphs they could have simply mentioned "Patent involving....2-3 words"
Really, cause every prediction I heard pretty much failed. And the global warming alarmists have changed their predictions almost as much as the Jehovah's Witnesses.
(but I kind of consider both to be in the same boat)
Yes, I rather acknowledged that the poles shift. My point was, are you assuming that the poles shift uniformly over history. Or might it in fact be more common to have little bursts and lulls. Which does nature tend to model. My arguement is not that the poles are shifting but is it a uniform steady rate or not. Problem is you really don't know that fact. And that is an UBER important fact needed to make anything more than scientific conjecture.
"But they're shifting faster"
Shifting faster than what? then when? The last 20 years? The last 100 years...oh,...wait....you're arguing science by saying the mere observation of a centimeter of beach of sand gives you a full understanding of the entire coastline.
The big problem is a double standard in your guy's science. You want to embrace every storm, earthquake, and axis shift as proof of climate change. Then lambast others and exclaiming weather is not climate. Agreed. So stop using it as such.
Nor is the observation of a mere few decades or even a century, a basis to establish a process that has occurred for milennia.
Right....so why the heck dow GW alarmists tout every earthquake, every drought, every flood as proof of global warming.
You can't have it both ways. You can't keep telling us to shut up, weather is not climate, and then constantly point to weather as signs of climate change.

And computers and PCs and electronics were still extremely new then. We've had decades to develop the technology.
Really, that's hard to believe. I think I've seen "one" Apple TV at a friend's house. Where as 60%-75% of homes, I've seen an Xbox
It's getting ridiculous, ....
Agreed, and my mom only has street parking. This will take a while to change...and certain neighborhoods will never be very good for it. (ie: ones without driveways)
What mandatory battery replacement?
Okay, the batteries are warrantied for 8 years, and either 100,000 miles for the cheapest model or unlimited miles in the more expensive model. That's pretty close to the general 10 year life for a new car.
Oh, as far as I know, only Dodge offered an unlimited lifetime powertrain warranty. Most new cars give you 36,000-60,000 miles.
Australia's nothing but a bunch of criminals and their descendants...right? LOL
So I guess one can understand why they prohibited gun ownership.

It's a gun, it fires a bullet.....what the fuck did you think it would do if the bullet hit something? smile and sing "Hello my darling?"
The point of the loan was to facilitate the acquisition of "production facilities"...which they have done. Leasing half of the old joint plant that Toyota/GM built.

Pets.com was trying to ship heavy product at a discount. No go man....bad business model.

Less moving parts on a Tesla. Likely lower maintenance too.
So what...
With all the money you save on gas driving a Tesla. You can rent a luxury Lincoln Navigator SUV or even an RV and drive from NYC to LA and still have a net savings on gas and $$$ over a BMW 7.
And the rest of the time you get to drive a cooler car. ;-)

Right, cause it's easy to register in DC (oh, something you couldn't even do a few years ago).
Note, he purchased the guns before moving to DC. DC is in violation of present law on registration as well. No, this is "common sense" stupidity.
Those are actually fairly low...especially if you exclude the children of law enforcement officers and military. Who would still be vulnerable.
Most gun deaths are suicides. Many accidents, are likely suicides but do not get labeled such. "Man accidentally shot and killed himself while cleaning his rifle." is police speak for "suicide" but let's make sure this guys family collects his life insurance policy.
The other 1/4 utilize said obstacle to run their car into and kill themselves.
But you're basing that on a false hypothesis. That the number of folks harmed in crimes, raped or murdered is tied to the existence of guns.

DC man saves a kid's life from a violent animal. And get fined $1,000. Because we're "Common Sense" like that..

"The invention is directed to a communications protocol which facilitates the exchange of interface information between a host processor and a terminal, such as a workstation, smart phone, portable computer, etc.,"

First use of term "Smart Phone", 1997....

Seems to me that the summary is really an expansion. And I'd wager their broad patent was done on the mainframe decades before hand.
Yes, I know there were links to entire other articles. Including ones I knew would have mention of the patent, and likely a link to THE patent. But I was lazy today, and this story wasn't that intriguing for me.
So I just wanted to know what they were actually being sued for. I figured they had 2-3 paragraphs they could have simply mentioned "Patent involving....2-3 words"
Some days we'd like to just relax and be lazy. ;-)
Yes, and it also means more mild winters and more mild summers.
Global climate change pretty much encompasses ANY state, and as such is a non-testable hypothesis (!= science)
Really, cause every prediction I heard pretty much failed. And the global warming alarmists have changed their predictions almost as much as the Jehovah's Witnesses.
(but I kind of consider both to be in the same boat)
Might I inquire if you read anything I posted?
Yes, I rather acknowledged that the poles shift. My point was, are you assuming that the poles shift uniformly over history. Or might it in fact be more common to have little bursts and lulls.

Yes....
