If they would just let the cards get into the supply chain, actually limit the quantities you can buy, and not sell directly to farms it wouldn't be so bad.

Solar is there, cost wise, in most areas and wind makes sense where it's windy, so offshore and good chunks of the west/midwest. It's the storage component that's holding it back now, but honestly it's getting a lot closer. Large format batteries and the electronics to go with them have gotten...

And this is why requiring your content to be played on centralized company owned servers is idiotic.

I can't really say anything beyond the fact that I have a 13TB pool for a home media server with file level redundancy, running for about 6 months, and I've been nothing but impressed. It's easy and it's scanning tool and redundancy has already saved me some data loss when an old 2TB drive...

Personally I wish silverlight would die.

you realize micro usb is intentionally flimsy on the cord side? The switch happened, because mini usb would rip the charge port out of the phone before it broke.

Still more than worth it for me. I'm probably one of the people that are causing the price to rise. I use the hell out of my prime membership. It paid for itself in a couple of months.

All they really need to do is not allow the phones back on their networks after they've been reported stolen by the owner. It's not that difficult to do.

We'll see how they do with the cost of model x and beyond. If they can get their costs down having a nationwide network to recharge their cars will be a boon to their business model and may even force the other manufacturers to adopt their charging standard.

Terrorism is literally less of a danger than your average police officer or your shower. You're about as likely to be killed by lightning. We really need to put an end to this BS. With a warrant, and not by secret court order, I have no problem with electronic surveillance, but they need to...

Very poorly encrypted at the request of the US intelligence industry. The original standard was a true 128 bit encryption scheme. The dumbed down standard they started using instead is at best 56 bit and in reality lower because it has several leading zero's.

Vehicle for vehicle, Tesla's are about 5x less likely to burst into flames than the national average.

They have electrolyte in the cells; which is basically a mixture of different types of alcohol and antifreeze. Although It's not a lot. Generally just enough to keep everything damp, but have no free liquid.
