It's unfortunate that slashdot is such a magnet for such blatant, felony-level criminality. Even just posting that information to encourage others is quite possibly a federal crime.
I was comparing Win 7 and OS X. Yes, I realize the Nvidia Linux drivers are improving rapidly, I've got them working nicely on my openSUSE 12.2 (Tumbleweed) rig.
And I was being sarcastic about "wants to destroy the earth". However, when most people no longer need nor desire cars - that's when you'll start to see real change. What we need is a fully immersive, 3D (or 4D) online experience that is quicker to access and preferable for the majority of people over sitting in traffic to go to work at some cubicle, to go to a meeting to sit and watch a PowerPoint, to go shopping, to go to school to sit at a desk, etc. And that online immersive experience could be created a lot faster than the time it would take to replace every gas-guzzling car on the planet.
And what if you pay by check? Then the merchant gets your name, address, and bank account number from the front of the check, and probably asks for your drivers license number, and possibly a phone number. That's a lot of personal info.

To be honest, I knew next to nothing about Tesla cars and had never been to their website before this story hit. I'm sure I'm far from the only one. Those are some awesome looking cars - for $52K, I'm sure their base model fits squarely within the luxury-car-budget of Infiniti, Lexus, Mercedes, etc buyers, which is a huge market now.
pollution and carbon emissions - and possibly not even the best way. Someone can logically disagree with the concept of electric cars, but still want to reduce emissions. For my money, telecommuting and online education and online shopping could have far more beneficial environmental impacts than building a global army of several hundred million electric cars running on lithium batteries. If people can replace nearly all their daily driving activities with online interactions - then you would be getting somewhere. Of course, we've got quite a ways to go with bandwidth and interactive forms of media before people would start dumping their cars en masse.
You are an idiot. Unfortunately, there is no law against it.
But, unlike you and the populations of Ohio, Kentucky, New Mexico, and Mississippi, I don't approve of depriving people of basic rights based on inaccurate measures of intelligence.
clearly wants to destroy the planet. Broder probably goes to church too, and to Tea-party rallies, when he isn't shooting assault rifles. No wonder/.'ers hate him.
According to Phoronix, Windows 7 graphics "destroys the Linux and OS X drivers", and "Only in a few workloads was the Windows 7 driver not the distant frontrunner".
They still act like there are just 3 network TV stations, and that if they write a witty line in an ad, 50 million people will see it and go buy their crap. Like "Think Mink", or "Got Milk?". They still think they can bombard the public's eyeballs with ads and force us to robotically buy whatever they are selling. "Do Not Track" isn't even a speed-bump for these geniuses.
Slashdot Mirror
You do. Only a complete lack of response would show otherwise.
And then you hid your screen name, afraid that others will find out that you actually care.
Which means that you not only care - you care whether others perceive that you care. And you try to obscure it by pretending not to care.
Amazing that you have time to think of anything else, actually.
So why the f*** doesn't it do it????

Glad I could make your next day in paradise just a little happier. Hawaii?

Even bad PR can be good PR. You've got to build "Q Score" with the public, and the lowest level on Q Score is "Never heard of it".

look how many clicks NYTs is getting from this.
And I would imagine Tesla's website is getting a few extra clicks today. What a great game - create a bit of controversy and everyone wins.

Like Elon Musk.

Fish to Penguin - "You complete me".
Depends - do you pay with credit card or cash?
Apparently, they laughed until their Polaroids hurt...
Years ago I adopted a foolproof way of avoiding speeding fines; and one that keeps me and everybody around me safer; I simply obey speed limits.
+1 Agreed.
Musk will print your driving log, and you'll end up getting traffic tickets in the mail.
Took me a moment... that's sort of funny, really.

Some corporations have a slightly different version of the Google motto...
