Look, can we please all just wear badges showing what camp we're really in?
Actual scientists who know what's going on and why (0.0001%).
People who are profiting from screaming that the skies are falling but if you buy their book / fund their institute, they'll sell you a solution. (0.001%)
People who are profiting from selling more of the problem. (0.01%)
People who are just so angry about the corporations, because they're all... corporationy, man... so smash the system, dude, burn it down - but capture the carbon man, because the planet, man, the planet (0.1%)
People who don't really care much one way or the other, and are pretty sick of listening to you yap on about it on computers that are overwhelmingly powered by burning fossil fuel instead of doing something about it by turning them off and knitting yourself a rainbow. (99.8889%)
Actually, no, since he makes a point that the data can only be accessed in a user unfriendly manner. The info is there, but you have to invest time in extracting it. FaceTweetSquare package your life up and sell it in a much more easily marketable fashion. So he's actually much better off.
Why are you talking about solar panels? This article is about concentrated (thermal) solar, not PV. Better to keep quiet and be thought a fool than hammer out a post and remove all doubt, eh?
LoveFilm streaming is limited to older / unpopular content though (and their library search is truly awful). Netflix can whup them on that, and it's about time there was some competition.
Quite right, it's just abstract numbers in a database with no real intrinsic value, and you can't "steal" an intangible that only ever existed in the imagination. Just like with bank accounts, right?
Urgh. Physics is not Economic's bitch. China are burning oil to make inefficient PV panels that will never generate the energy required to produce them - factor in the mining, refining, shipping, installation and maintenance, and if you discount the energy required to keep the people involved in that process alive, well, enjoy your cold damp cave.
Now, when you then hide that sad situation by subsiding the panels, who are you helping? Future generations won't thank you when they end up with a planet covered by worn out PV panels that don't generate enough energy to manufacture their replacements.
Trusting consumers isn't always the solution - given a free hand, they'll swill down snake oil until their eyeballs explode.
Oh, the jobs people work at!
Out west, near Hawtch-Hawtch,
there's a Hawtch-Hawtcher Bee-Watcher.
His job is to watch...
is to keep both his eyes on the lazy town bee.
A bee that is watched will work harder, you see.
Well... he watched and he watched.
But, in spite of his watch,
that bee didn't work any harder. Not Mawtch.
So somebody said,
"Our old-bee-watching man
just isn't bee-watching as hard as he can.
He ought to be watched by another Hawtch-Hawtcher!
The thing that we need
is a Bee-Watcher-Watcher!"
WELL...
The Bee-Watcher-Watcher watched the Bee-Watcher.
He didn't watch well. So another Hawtch-Hawtcher
had to come in as a Watch-Watcher-Watcher!
And today all the Hawtchers who live in Hawtch-Hawtch
are watching on Watch-Watcher-Watchering-Watch,
Watch-Watching the Watcher who's watching the bee.
You're not a Hawtch-Watcher. You're lucky, you see!
Read the article. These are checks that are already being carried out by actual Tennesee law enforcement. The TSA kabuki clowns are just tagging along to ask if anyone has seen a terrorist.
They just know they're out there! Surely someone has seen one? Checked in the back? Under the axles, sometimes they latch on, start chewing on the power lines.
Aw, c'mon, man, give me a break, I have to catch three more terrorists this month or I don't make my rent. Look,just point at some brown-lookin' trucker you don't like, I'll take care of him for you, no questions asked, no presumption of innocence or nuthin'. C'mon, guy, I don't even get dental!
The more significant thing is that they can charge it in a few hours on household current.
And that's exactly the sort of green-washed bullshit that needs called out, because lies like that are what are going to create the negative press that will keep the Model S relegated to the garages of wealthy ecomentals.
Tesla's own best-case claims are that their weediest 160 mile range (with lights, heater/AC and other electrics off, right?) Model S will take 2.58 hours to charge from a "high-amperage 240-volt outlet", whatever that means. I'm going to go ahead and assume that you're talking about 120VAC "household current", so let's think more in the region of 5+ hours, if your household can supply the wattage, which I'd question. Five is not "a few", except in marketspeak. If you disagree, go ahead and charge your Tesla for 2 hours, and see how far you get. Physics isn't marketing's bitch.
Look, I like the idea of electric vehicles. I'm gagging for a usable electric motorcycle (and no, the Zero isn't usable yet). But we (for "we" substitute any country in the world) need to substantially upgrade the grid and every single city, neighbourhood, street and home before they'll be usable as more than urban shopping trolleys.
I know that THIS. IS. SLASHDOT, but the article is quite clear that the number explicitly excludes the print subscribers, and indeed another 100,000 etards who get a freebie via Ford. It does seem to be 324,000 actual digital-only subscribers.
Well, that's just great. Hundreds of years of wasting money on lawyers for adversarial cases, and it turns out that you can just get the judge to fight your case for you, if she's a fatherfucking Apple fangrrl. Excelsior!

Going forwards, they have to leverage cloudsourced meta resources to enhance avoision of non-functational points of zeta-inflection.
If their in-house IT isn't on board with those pre-bleeding edge concepts, I'd be happy to run a seminar at a 5 star spa of their choice.
Are we all clear on that now?

You, sir, need to google "FBI entrapment" and read about the stuff that we've caught them doing.
Can you point at someone who actually writes letters like that? I ask since the Snopes page that you linked to says that it's a hoax.
Or are they more interested in feeling up little kids than in stopping actual attacks on aircraft?
"Disruptive" really shifted the paradigm on buzzword market-babble.

Jesus, I'm much drunker than I thought.
So let's try to keep a lid on the Hollywood hyperbole, shall we?

The Man cut the money hose to stop us leaking, so we'll show him... why, by golly, we'll not leak anything until we get more money in our pockets.
Yes, well done, very convincing.

SOTP TEH PRESSAS!
Now, how does it compare to the 2012 Toyota Avalon?
It was covered in Inalienable Ethics 101 at Starfleet Academy. You were probably out scoring some Green Orion Slave Girl poon tang at the time.

+1 insightful - in any other article. In this one, +1 funny.

Or car batteries and goblin farts. Car batteries and pixie snot. Car batteries and invisible pink unicorn spunk. See where I'm going with this?
