Well, I've never even been and I skipped this year, too! :)

Indeed, they seem to lack an 8th grade level of science education. However, I have it on good authority that they actually lack even a kindergarten level; they're just good at faking it. ;)

No closed-source binaries, obviously!

Come on, how else is she supposed to prove she didn't kill him??

Regulatory capture: it'll end up getting controlled by the very entities it's supposed to be controlling: robots, like the other Federal Commissions... :p

Less likely to be dropped; more likely to get knocked against hard objects.

Comparing high-end mobile x86 chips to ARM is comparing apples to oranges. Don't agree? Look at the transistor counts.

Too complicated with too many ways to circumvent the restrictions. Suspend their fucking license for thirty days (first offense) if caught using anything but GPS or MP3 apps while driving, six months for the second offense, two years for the third offense, five years for the fourth and permanent revocation for the fifth.

Refitting the Model S with an Atkinson cycle engine so that its range doesn't suck...

I kid, I kid! :p

Only if we can frack with sequestered CO2 instead of precious H2O...

Fracking itself may not be new... but it wasn't used on a scale anywhere even close to what we're seeing now... until the advent of directional drilling, which definitely is new. And it can be argued that drilling long narrow tunnels laterally through layers of shale is far less disruptive and risky than the recent trend of pumping millions of gallons of fresh water, diesel, propane, proprietary mixes of mysterious synthetic substances into the ground beneath our pastures and farmland.

So, while the media may have missed a few technical details in their coverage, it's definitely a moot point.

If you can't find a prosecutor willing to investigate and press charges, it's a meaningless question.
