Since I doubt that this sub-question will get through the editor, I'll give you my answer now. My objection was to the use of bitkeeper due to its license. This is not the same as being in favor of violating the license. What Tridge did (invoking the "HELP" command on a TCP stream connection to the bitkeeper server) was not a license violation.

It's up to the editor when they run the replies. But I promise to answer mine.

Let it go, man.

We picked up a new car in September. Everything we looked at had cameras and they weren't super-expensive like a Ferrari. Granted we didn't look at Kia or the like. You can't see cameras when in traffic.

What cars don't have rear view cameras these days?

I guess you don't have a microwave.

You mean they actually put clocks on the walls of solitary confinement cells?

Until they go beep-beep-beep at 6 AM.

Big car makers and the oil industry will hammer on these weaknesses to show people how untrustworthy the Tesla is. Hell, they'll probably try to make one rear end an old Corvair just for the lulz.
