If this guy is a car guy then he really should be aware of all the capabilities one can get out of ones OBDII port, and considering what you can get out of the OBDII port he really should not be surprised with what would get logged on a car as advanced as the Tesla S.
If you have an android device and you like cars I highly recommend getting an OBDII to bluetooth adaptor (around $25-$45) and the Torque program. It will blow away any and all other OBDII readers you have ever used. The logging capabilities are amazing.
Millions of years ago a fairly advanced society found out their planet would be doomed within a short 1000 years because their sun was dying.
Without any knowledge of FTL they looked at their options and decided to move their entire planet out of orbit of that sun and move it to a close young sun, our sun.
They drifted though space with no sun for millions of years, their society advancing and evolving along with their technology. They turned inward immersing themselves in artificial reality to the point that even artificial intelligences had the same equal rights as those who were originally biological. There were worlds within worlds, turtles all the way down.
And then they got within range of Sol, finally so many who had given up their physical form had an outlet. There were many planets in the solar system they could go to, but Earth was off limits. A true world, with real people, it was too much to resist.
You would be surprised at how much education that bimbo has. Notice I did not put quotes around bimbo, since she is indeed a bimbo, just a well educated bimbo.
Sure Microsoft isn't just working to get paid twice?
Once for the Windows 8 license that the oem pays for and once for the Windows 7 that the customer puts on it for twice the price the oem paid for Windows 8.
So screw that, the pirated copies of Windows 7 are getting much better, just go with that.
Also yes he could run Windows 7 on a Mac, but if he is looking for a laptop with Windows 7 on it then he may not be able to afford an operating system separate from the computer at this time.
Doesn't the story go that we aren't extracting the helium from natural gas anymore because there is no financial incentive while the government is selling off the strategic helium reserve?
Dell and Microsoft have always had a very very close relationship, much closer than Microsoft had with HP or any other company besides Intel, and Intel has always had a very very close relationship with Dell and Microsoft.
Those other companies are looking at non-Microsoft operating systems, but primarily due to the success that Apple has had as well as the specter of 8.
Whenever possible, build your own, you'll be happier in the long term.
There are of course downsides, my last build I had to send back the powersupply because it would only work for a few minutes (corsair 750HX), and the processor (amd 8 core) because it wouldn't pass stability tests.
And who are the shareholders? Bad people, the best I can work out. Large financial firms that buy and sell stock in complex, indecipherable financial schemes. Any one holding company could own a significant chunk of any number of large companies
I know that some of my 401k is in Dell stock, from back when I worked for them.
So when a company says "shareholders" they really mean wallstreet, as a whole. Really, companies just do what a whole bunch of wall street analysts say they should do. Which means we have one of the most corrupt and greedy institutions known to man telling every public company how to run their business.
Correct, even though one of my 401k's holds Dell stock I personally have absolutely no input since I am not "shareholder". These big faceless wall street organizations are mainly funded by the everyday workers 401k.
Looks like there is currently around $3.3 Trillion dollars in 401k investments.
You are the one who started this off-topic discussion about what you consider unfair down mods. I am staying on the topic of discussion you started, you are the one going off-topic. =P
Fine, what do you think of the hostfile modifications that Spybot does? Is their list comprehensive enough?
The troll that replied to you when you asked why you were down modded.
The troll that honestly tried to give you advice.
btw, I did look over your short list of non hostfile +5 moderated posts and they were not your usual copy/paste-athons with a ton of bolded lines and links to other posts. Your +5 moderated non-host file posts were more ontopic than most of your posts and more human.
But yes, I am a troll, I am not trying to help, you have won, enjoy yourself.
Considering you did not reference my post at all in your "rebuttal", why did you even bother replying?
I'm trying to interact with you in the hopes of finding out if there is an actual human being on the other end, and if there is one, perhaps help that person.
Giving people information is not a contest to see who can cram the most information down someones throat in the least friendly way.
It might be possible that there may be some useful information in your posts, but I would never know because you have to be a bit insane to be able to put up with how you present said information.
Think about how much information I just gave you in two little sentences, then look at your posts and try to distill that information into the shortest amount of words you can and I am sure your posts would only amount to around 2 well thought out paragraphs with perhaps 3 links total.
Mainly since I don't see you disprove my points validly on custom hosts files value over DNS, AdBlock & Ghostery - period!
There was no attempt to disprove the information in your posts. You made a post complaining about being down modded, I attempted to give you information that would help you not get down modded. Granted, I could have used more tact, but there was no attempt to disprove what you wrote.
If your responses weren't canned and also formatted in such a way that you believe your target audience is capable of no thought then you might not get modded down so much.
Really your comments look like something an adman on bath salts would come up with, you are two bolded sentences away from being the Time Cube guy.
Relax, just provide a place for people to start, or if you want to provide more information a single link to a guide will suffice. Oh, and you really should just go back to using an actual account instead of AC.
Interesting, so what type of area do you live? Where I am the infrastructure tends to have back up power, but considering the problems you have had they apparently don't do that in your neck of the woods.
It could just be that Comcast, which is known for not investing in their infrastructure doesn't make sure that their equipment has back up power sources, but the cell going out at the same time blows a hole in that theory. Not that I recommend getting your phone though your cable provider, no matter the cable provider.
Sorry, but no. And the last time the cable went out, the cell went out at the same time. Had I needed to make an emergency call, POTS would have saved the day.
Is it common in your area that if one goes out both goes out?
I've seen power failures take them out. You speak "in general", and then use one specific to prove it. Hmmm.
I'm sure I could bring up more ways that I have seen the phone system fail during my lifetime, whether it be drunks slamming into a DSLAM, phone lines getting knocked down in bad weather, or some meth head stealing copper. Shit happens to infrastructure, and the more there is then the more for it to fail.
Unless you are trying to tell me that there is a cable company that has TV, internet, and voice service, and the voice service will still function when the cable breaks, then my point still stands.
You can put a UPS on your cable modem and router to help with a power outage, but yes if the service you use is down it won't function, whether it be cable or POTS.
If the cell tower stops working, you lose both cell phone and VoIP phone at the same time.
In my experience you will only have one POTS line coming to your location, you will not have redundant POTS lines coming from different networks. But in most cases you connect to more than one tower.
And my co-workers already get harassing calls on their personal phones from Nigerians using IP based calling services such as Magic Jack. The spammers pay a monthly service charge that makes each call less than a penny, much much less than a penny. It is practically free already.
Take the magicJack Plusâ with you when you travel outside of the country and you will have free calls back to the U.S. and Canada. No matter where you are in the world you can call the U.S. and Canada for free. You can also consider buying magicJack PLUS for someone you know that lives overseas and give the gift of free calls to U.S. and Canadian Phone Numbers.
The robocallers costs have already been driven down. That is why the issue exists. It isn't going to drive down their cost more since they are already using it.
And yes, you can block calls to your IP based phone just fine depending on the service you have.

In your defense you can tell them that you let her loose to see if she would come back.

Oh, I don't disagree, just nice covering the bases when talking about conspiracies.

Ok, so what is stopping some enterprising person or entity from purchasing huge reserves of helium at these rock bottom prices?

The Texas MJ Stamp though is an accidental legalization due to how Texas defines double jeopardy, you have actually been able to buy them since 2008.
http://www.ndsn.org/nov96/drugtax.html
You can purchase Marijuana Tax Stamps in Texas which means that you can now legally purchase Marijuana, sorta.
Or at least if you get caught you can pay the tax pretrial and have it dismissed.
Have fun celebrating your victory.
You have slayed the mighty troll.

Most of your argument works for email just as well for calling.
Would you ever use an email account that had absolutely no anti-spam capabilities?
We have IP based phones at my work too, spam calls haven't been an issue for us.
