what makes Tesla the victim here?
The fact that the applicable law is idiotic.
That does not mean they don't have to comply. They should prove that they did not sell more than 150 cars.

Not all locks have the pins to have a master key. It requires additional separations in the pins.
If the locksmith thought this lock didn't have those separations then they thought this lock couldn't have a master key.
Having said that: it is more likely that the locksmith didn't expect the kids to be able to manufacture a master key. That that was impossible.
Did you take the chance to reply "I'm not feeling so hot"?
I often like the "similar meaning" results but not always. Ergo it should be an option IMHO.
For example "Exact:" or something like it.
Or it could simply allow regex with a similar prefix. Then I would have a reason to learn regex.
They already use : as a special string. For example "site:http://www.slashdot.org " only gives results from
That is a free add on that I don't really need. I will probably use it one day when I get a tablet, but for now that SIM card will be thrown into a drawer to collect dust.
For my normal mobile internet I currently have a 1,5 GB cap. I usually don't cross the 1 GB mark in a month. Uncapped mobile internet seems nice but not really essential. I don't use it for Netflix, that's what the home connection is for.
It's the home internet + spotify + access to the KPN Hotspots that I really want. The simcard with 200 MB mobile is nice for when I will use it.
I am not a yank. They seem to get the shitty end of the Internet stick.
I am Dutch. We have competition in our ISP's.
Not as much as what happens when those rednecks put a bullet through a petrol tank near a fire.
Any substantial electricity storage is going to be in a building or a closed off parking lot. Since when do rednecks have bullets that can pass through a brick wall?
This solution is not the only answer.
This + old electric car batteries + some building sized battery tech + whatever we come up with = the answer.
You are forgetting something. 2 somethings to be more precise.
1. As solar tech gets better it gets more installed. As it gets more installed economy of scale allows for lower prices. As the prices drop they get more installed. Rinse and repeat untill the minimum price of the tech is reached. During that time some companies will have invested in additional research to lower the price per watt.
Rinse, repeat.
2. There are only a few solar concentrator towers now. Those will be build faster and faster if the price of coal generated power builds up because of supply problems.
This is approximately an exponential growth my friend. Don't underestimate it.
20 fold increase is not far off. To get storage up to snuff to work with 5 or 10% PV we need to research now. That is why so many companies are working hard on getting it done (also because storing a significant fraction of global use in a week is a lot and there will be a lot of money in it).
For powering a city for a week or two a tractor trailer sized battery ain't gonna cut it. Unless you sneakily fill it with an unshielded nuclear reactor with a magical heat-energy conversion (size being the impossible limit).
There is a reason most coal plants suitable to power a city have water or train supply lines: that amount of coal delivered by truck is not feasible.
Solar is the future, but for storage for a city for a day you are talking about a large parking lot filled with battery containers. Even with future near magic battery tech.
Or a pumped storage.
woho, I'm moving to XS4all 50 mbit Fiber next month. Including Spotify, a simcard with 200mb/month mobile and KPN Hotspots acces!
Have you seen the first drawings Galileo made of Saturn? It was clearly a goatse. God grew up and decided it was immature so he made the laws of nature permit rings to cover up his bad joke.
Sorry. Not being native and neither a lawyer my grasp of these things is limited. What's the difference? (honestly, I want to know in order to prevent misusing them in the future)
To be locked up over this is right. Whoever decide that this idiot could walk away from it without being sued should be fired. From a cannon. Into the sun.
It's happening anyway. They don't add to the muon radiation to the background because the background is already enough.
It's apparently not really dangerous because we have all grown up under this radiation.
Clowns must be really well endowed.
Memory fault - where am I?
