    Typo... 74K short. Although now it's only 72K short, seems it's working...

  2. Now there's a petition on whitehouse.gov... on Tesla Faces Tough Regulatory Hurdle From State Dealership Laws · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Now? The petition has been up since June 5th. I guess this is a last ditch effort to get signatures as it's over 44K short.

    In the video, note that the "sharer" never let go of the game.

    Linkedin is exactly like the business culture it was meant to serve.

    Sleazy, smarmy, greedy, dishonest, sycophantic, treacherous, fraudulent. Simply the core values of global business.

    Considering this is the same LinkedIn that REQUIRES you to unsubscribe repeatedly from getting their spam invite reminders every time someone thinks they know you, I find it completely likely that they are so stupid.

    Greed != Stupidity

    This is simple greed, not stupidity. And you can bet your ass that had his actions turned out to be profitable for the firm, we would never have heard about it.

    Knowing sifi, it'll get shit-canned only if it's good and the audience loves it. Sifi no longer shitcans garbage.

    Is not it the job of banks to lend money? Use your credit card to finance your purchase. If you have no financial credit and you don't have a credit card, why are you buying expensive gadgets?, buy a simple phone because obviously you should not be wasting money on them

    Yeah? And what bank/credit card do you know of that will finance $480 over 2 years and not charge interest?

    child labour

    If those are the best examples you can come up with then you should give up now as you've only proven J'raxis' point.

  15. Re:"Real World" conditions on Tesla Motors Battles the New York Times · · Score: 1

    And how do you propose he gets his hands on those figures? Do you record your exact fuel economy, maintain full GPS tracking logs, and keep track of exactly how quickly you accelerate and how fast or slow you drive every mile in your car? No, you don't, and neither does the rest of the world.

    The best Tesla can do is guesstimate, same as every other car manufacturer. When was the last time you got the MPG that your car's manufacturer promised? If you answered anything other than "never", either you're lying or you live in some wacky parallel universe where all roads run downhill.

  16. Re:Are they really moons? on Vote To Name Two Newly Discovered Moons of Pluto · · Score: 1

    ...In fact, even a moon can have moons. But that would be very uncommon as a moons moon would most likely get pulled out of orbit by what the moon is orbiting.

    Why would that be uncommon? Our moon doesn't get pulled out of its orbit around the earth by the sun, nor do the moons of any other planet in our solar system.

    Sounds like a good area for pickpockets to target. People going to the casino with plenty of cash on them and a police force that will do it's best not to investigate their crimes.

    I think this bit pretty much puts the kibosh on that idea.

    Upon questioning these people, it turned out they didn't want to tell their spouse they lost all their money in the casino.

    No cash to steal, unless you are going to rob the casino.
