Yeah this is exactly how lawyers make money. One says it is. The other one says it isn't. They argue about it in front of a judge, and in the end everyone gets paid. Except of course for the parties they represented...they only get paid if they're extremely lucky and if there's anything left.
Sure. Haven't you seen what the "top of the line" ferraris, porsches, mercedes and roll royces go for nowadays? $100k is pretty mainstream. It certainly doesn't buy you what it used to a few years ago. Yeah you can buy several hondas for that price and maybe a dozen hyundais and kias. But 100k is not so far out of the market, especially if there are rebates and tax incentives, that none will ever sell.
Having the brake default to "on" when the battery is dead is a safety engineering issue. Just like in a truck you need air pressure to take the brakes OFF, not to apply them. If the battery fails and the emergency brake is the only thing keeping a car parked on a hill, you want the car to stay where it is. Now I will agree that there is probably a need for some sort of "manual release" that can be used by towing companies.
I hope they sue the NY Times AND the reporter for libel, because this is what it is. Finally someone designs a mass market electric car with plenty of speed and range, and they get stuck with a fucking liar with his own agenda. The car may be nowhere near perfect, but it's certainly good enough. Once it's produced in quantity I'm sure tweaks will be made. But if this project dies before it's born, we won't see another one till the next billionaire comes along.
You say glyphosate in bold italics, as if "Round Up" was only ever used on Monsanto crops. Round Up is possibly the most popular herbicide on the market and every farmer uses it.
And tell you what the patient is NOT telling you. Medicine is based more on objective observations than subjective answers to questions. While 85% of the diagnosis is usually in the medical history, do we just let the other 15% die?
There was a certain King Canute who went to the beach one day and ordered the tide to stop flowing. I can imagine Obama's ideas and efforts will have exactly the same effect. While he's at it he should make tornadoes, earthquakes and hurricanes illegal.
Agreed. Those kinds of things are considered "luxuries" and are taxed more and sold at a higher price since you have to be "rich" to need them anyway. Downloadable software has changed my life for the better.
Not pointing to its existence. PROVING its existence. But if your eyes are shut and you have your hands over your ears and you're shouting "lalalalala" it will always be hard for you to accept anything as proof.
Hacking your XBox 360 is clearly a crime worthy of being charged for, but taking the cover off a microchip and reading code that wasn't meant to be read is not a DMCA violation at all.
Good question - ASSuming that the XP box is the only box they own
No, it's a terrible question. Your assumption is incorrect. And most of them probably have an internet-capable smart phone. Wake up, it's the 21st century.
To use the GP's argument against him, a transistor is just a special case diode anyway. Hardly a breakthrough but more of an incremental invention... everything is connected to everything else. Where you draw the line that defines "breakthrough" is a matter of pesonal taste and thus meaningless in any argumentative sense.

Yeah, the truth from the media? The US has been bought and sold. All of it.

Yeah these are going to say "for bravery under enemy fire"...
That's what we need, a system that provides absolutely NO accountability! Just crowd source "mission critical" stuff. What could possibly go wrong?
Build a house on my land and see what happens to it.

Seconded. Most, but not all.

The ability to burn your wrist down to the bone with a failing battery. Tie this in with some software and you have a nifty little reminder app.

A more obvious one: do you want a car that you have to remember to fill up with gas?
Agreed. However it does take a certain amount of brains and self restraint to hold on to it...

"Willing to pay more" is not the same as "don't have a choice except to pay more". I think that's what this is all about.
Not pointing to its existence. PROVING its existence. But if your eyes are shut and you have your hands over your ears and you're shouting "lalalalala" it will always be hard for you to accept anything as proof.
Yeah, just keep telling yourself that.
Of course not. Those profits belong to the government.
England? My friends from the UK are dropping off comms all the time.
Yes what a wonderful use for the limited amount of Helium on this planet. Let's put it in baloons to protect ourselves from imaginary threats.
