    Tesla Denies Report Of Possible Safety Defect In Model S

    Yeah, it is strange to break. Then again, I have no idea if this event makes for a failure rate that's any higher than the industry overall. I've seen cars stopped on the highway with a wheel jammed up into a fender, so I know 1st person that it happens in general. Suspension does wear out...

    Mt. Gox Owner: “I Am Not Dread Pirate Roberts”

    I like how they do things in [Norway/Sweden/Finland/whichever of those dog shaped clump of countries it was] - where you're left alone until after conviction. No jail, no assets frozen, no whatever until after the verdict is in. You're innocent until proven guilty. -scheherazade

    Oklahoma Bill Targets Texting While Driving

    I assume it's a smart enough law to allow for cell-phone as navi? In any case, I'd rather they punish 'crashing your car into other people and causing harm', instead of punishing personal behavior that in in no deterministic way causes harm to other people. -scheherazade

    NASA Found A Cheaper Way To Reach Mars Safely

    Getting to Mars is not "hard"-hard. It just takes a long time. Landing on mars is a bit tough, on account of the low atmospheric density. Parachutes are almost useless, so you need a powered landing. Getting back from the surface of Mars is IMMENSELY difficult. Gravity is substantial, and...

    New York Prosecutor Wants Harsher Texting While Driving Penalties

    I'd prefer it if lawmakers would stop making personal behavior laws, and start making laws that punish 'harm'. Texting? Whatever. Your damn fingers. Collide with someone and kill them? If you caused it, you're in BIG trouble (texting or not). I'm tired of the exceptionalism surrounding harm...

    Man Sentenced to Prison for Excessive Calls and Texts

    10 months of not paying rent (probably losing his place), not making income (no job on way out), not paying bills (credit destroyed), arrest record (nearly unemployable in any professional establishment) - plus, you know, you can't get that life time back. ... Because of what is ultimately...

    Seiki SE50UY04 3840x2160 50" TV ($1300)

    Sorry, I'm not familiar with what all the connections are. In regards to the ribbons plugging the panel into the board, is it a bunch of wires with binary address info (pixel location), and a few wires with voltage levels for the pixel value? If so, can you put a set of NPN transistors on the...

    Federal Judge: NSA Mass Surveillance Is Legal

    I assume that's rhetorical. More often I see the government trying to convince the public, than I see the public affecting the government. -scheherazade

    Federal Judge: NSA Mass Surveillance Is Legal

    That's not even salient. Democracy is 'people's rule'. Representative democracy is 'people's rule via an intermediary party that does as the people would do, in the people's stead'. How you come up with a representative is irrelevant. They could be elected, appointed, born, whatever...

    BF3, MW3 Wouldn't Be Popular If There Was A Draft

    If I had to worry about being drafted, and I didn't want to go, I wouldn't want to play games that remind me of what might happen to me IRL. If I didn't have a problem with doing it IRL, I doubt I'd have a problem doing it in-game. -scheherazade

    5 Screen Eyefinity Demo Reel

    Would you accept someone putting strips of masking tape down your normal single monitor? Soon as we can get bezel-free monitors, eye-finity will finally be more than a curiosity. (ati user) -scheherazade

    Linux Infected by Trojan

    Linux Infected by Trojan

    THANK YOU. So tired of people watching porn on their windows box, running "SexyGirl123.jpg.exe", and then crying about how "windows sucks because it's so vulnerable to viruses". And you can't even explain to them how "it's their own fault", because they're too undereducated [about...

    LED vs LCD vs Plasma vs DLP

    What kills me with plasma and DLP is the flashing. I get a headache watching those displays. LCD doesn't flash, and I'm so much more relaxed while viewing. That alone is why I prefer LCD - even though I don't think that LCD looks the best. -scheherazade
