  1. Thank You I stand corrected ;)

  2. for PR, OK something I had not come up with right away ;)

    Just my 2 cents ;)

  3. I still do not understand how NASA lost the blue prints for the Saturn V including the F1 engines. Since it used the same fuel as the Falcon engine.

    Heck they had to reverse engineer the blueprints for the F1 engine, or maybe that was just the compressor engine (not sure) from the one they had left sitting out side on exhibit.

    Seems to me we could have made some improvements over the last what 45+ years at pretty reasonable prices.

    Guess that is one of the problems with government, since it is not their money using it wisely is not a big concern.

    Anyway, Go Falcon Rocket ;)

    Just my 2 cents ;)

  4. Launching a car in to space? Why? What the heck is this saying "Except" Elon Musk can be a complete "Idiot" at times.

    Just my 2 cents ;)

  5. I don't like laws like this! on Family of 'Swat' Victim Sues Kansas Police, Lawmakers Propose 40-Year Jail Terms (cbsnews.com) · · Score: 1

    Our justice system is getting mucked up with innuendo and complexity.
    BTW I am not a lawyer so I truely don't know what I am talking about ;)

    Example
    Murder Premeditated - did the individual do things in the real world related to planning the crime.
    Murder Hate Crime - what was the individual thinking/feeling when the crime happened.

    Do we really need all these special new laws? When our standard laws might be used as a path to justice.

    Just something I wonder about as an uneducated lay person ;)

    Just my 2 cents ;)

    OK so you have a large red stopped vehicle, and the tesla's sensor location system failed so badly as not to detect it!

    Pretty bad oops, in their self driving code! And their product in general!

    Let me see what was the first Tesla death, the Tesla mistook the White side of a semi trailer for the sky? ;) So was there a reddish sky ;)

    Just my 2 cents ;)

  15. All ways thought it was werid that on Tesla Model S Plows Into a Fire Truck While Using Autopilot (cnbc.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    While using Tesla Autopilot the driver is to be ready with hands over the wheel and ready and aware of the complete environment around them.

    In order to take instantaneous control if needed ;) Heck if that is the case you may as well be driving yourself ;)

    Just my 2 cents ;)

  16. The only way to truly fix things is to replace the CPU. And that would really hurt/destroy Intel's bottom line.

    Which leaves them flailing about wildly for some other appearance of a solution/solution to, at the very least cover their butts, mean while costing them a little as possible.

    Just my 2 cents ;)

    So the public can find out all the names, Judge included that authorized this for a single iPhone?
    Everyone from the Judge, along with all supervisors in the chain of command that signed off, need to removed from public service.

    But that will never happen! They are public servants protected by their unions and the most they get will be a paid week off. And a request to be a little more careful! "NOT" like that will happen ;)

    Until these individuals are removed from public service nothing will change. Paid vacations will not make a change happen.

    This is especially important because we have little idiots(criminals) doing this swatting thing for cred/fun for the internet/self gratification.

    Just my 2 cents ;)

  22. As a contract developer, I do very little internet stuff with my phone, But I know I am a real exception in today's world.

    In today's world all base rendering of things web should be done with the primary platform being phones and then other platforms as needed.

    With the exception being, special case projects.

    Thank You, I did not know any had accepted liability, but I have seen the GOV giving them exceptions to speed the development.

    But I see that they were restricting the states ability to pass restrictive laws I think. Autonomous car liability
