  1. > will it still be drivable?

    I seriously doubt it. I'm sure just being in a vacuum will immediately kill the tyres and multiple other components. Micrometorites and radiation will probably damage the snot out of it too. No doubt Tesla would find a way to pretend it lasted just fine though or at least make it driveable again. I can't imagine them missing out on that giant marketing opportunity.

  2. financial implications for Nintendo. on Hackers Manage To Run Linux On a Nintendo Switch (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    > It could have some financial implications for Nintendo.

    Yeah they might sell more switches since they've now just become useful.

  3. Exactly. Odds are it will even be Elon (SpaceX) that picks it up, and my guess it will be within our/his lifetime, and that the car will be auctioned for millions.

  4. Its probably not a lie on FCC Report Claims Broken Broadband Market Has Been Fixed By Killing Net Neutrality (vice.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    >> falsely claiming that the agency's attack on net neutrality is already paying huge dividends

    It probably really is already paying huge dividends, just exclusively to the board and shareholders, not the customers.

  5. I mean they don't own the rights to space... Is it because it's being launched through US airspace?

  6. Really no one could come up with a better name than "XCP-ng"?

  7. But commercials are obviously commercials., This will be masquerading as a documentary.

  8. No doubt it will also be full of pro-Microsoft advertising/brainwashing masquerading as facts.

  9. he proper answer on Five Major Credit Cards Are Now Blocking Cryptocurrency Purchases (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    The proper answer is that they should formally recognise bitcoin as an actual currency and treat it as such. But that would put them in what they alone perceive as a far worse situation, which is to have to formally accept and acknowledge that their institutional monopoly has a competitor.

  10. thats nothing... on Researchers Warn of Physics-Based Attacks On Sensors (securityledger.com) · · Score: 3, Funny

    the vast majority of computer systems, including those responsible for the security of our country remain totally vulnerable to liberal arts-based attacks expressed through the medium of interpretive dance.

  11. We get it already. on The Doomsday Clock Just Ticked Closer To Midnight (usatoday.com) · · Score: 1

    Most academics and the media are hardcore democrats that are (still) scaremongering as much fake news and unjustified paranoia to stir up unrest against the current government, just because they didn't get their way during the election. So what's new?

  12. Re: I think it's doable by all of us on Challenging Tesla, Ferrari Will Build An Electric Sportscar -- and an SUV (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Electric cars also seem to be getting a whole bunch of unnecessary technocrap such as self-driving systems that is largely still missing from fossil fuel cars, and actually accounts for a lot of weight.

  13. > NRA financed study...

    Do you have any actual proof or are you just another libtard making up fake news?

    It seems at best highly unlikely to be funded by the NRA given the study was conducted by the University of York which is in the (gun-hating) UK. The entire study document also contains absolutely no references to the NRA.

  14. Re:What about other links? on New Study Finds No Link Between Violent Video Games and Behavior (dailydot.com) · · Score: 1

    >> How come we are not allowed to see female nipples on tv? Or cursing?

    I presume you''re American. We Europeans are free to see that stuff on TV.
    To answer your question though, it has nothing to do with bad side effects and everything to do with radical christian puritanism that was the religion of the founders your country and is still mainstream there today.

  15. Apparently just politely checking first was too hard for the cops to think about.

  16. I think it's doable by all of us on Challenging Tesla, Ferrari Will Build An Electric Sportscar -- and an SUV (theverge.com) · · Score: 3

    Marchionne said,..."I'm not trying to minimize what Elon did but I think it's doable by all of us."

    Assuming he's not lying, all this does is confirm my long-held belief that car-manufacturers are purposely holding back from the public performance and better technology that they could easily provide.

    I'm not a big Tesla fan but even if all Elon has achieved is to finally get the big car manufacturers off their fat complacent asses and actually have to work for a living, then kudos to him.

  17. The obvious answer isn't that great on Car Manufacturers Sued Over Rodents Eating Soy-Insulated Wires (hackaday.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Obvious answer is poison but thats not great for mechanics, and also not addressing the root cause. The real answer is to not use soy insulation in the first place.
    As someone who likes classic cars (i.e. that need to be around for a LONG time) I really don't like the whole thought that insulation should biodegrade after a few years anyway.

  18. >> you'll have to do diligent research to make sure your next pair of headphones works with all the devices you already own.

    Its not even a slight problem if you do what I do and simply avoid buying anything that doesn't have a 3.5mm socket.

  19. Do you really believe that even now, anything natural goes into that shit anymore?

    I doubt it. This is Microsoft we're talking about. Its inevitable that they will find some way to "embrace and extend" the protocol to keep it non-standard, or to at least keep open clients off their network. Especially Linux ones.

    Plenty of small companies start that way and become successful.

    It also "just makes sense" to replace most CEOs with someone paid much less. Funny how that doesn't seem to be happening though, no matter how logical it might be.

    Assuming your definition of "Fix" is to offer a free replacement of every device they've sold in the past 10 years just because of some obscure security vulnerability that may let you see a small part of scrambled kernel memory... yeah I can see why.
