And deprive noble farmers of the water they need to grow the crop used to make workman's jumpsuits? You'd have an easier time convincing him to "turn back" on the Ukraine.

Well from GMs perspective, until Tesla gets a Government Bailout they will remain a fringe brand.

This is a freaking fantastic piece of tech -- but it really needs to be given a much larger budget and a better design team to make this something the masses would wear. But for a prototype, it's just fine. Hopefully someone with the design sense of Apple will buy them and take this to the next level. Other applications like a Personal Assistant or Scout would be great add-ons for usage as well.

I'm into BDSM and I consider some of my partners "toys". So yes -- the term is quite nebulous

I remember seeing something a few years back that made the case that Ship to Ship space battles would be fought by AI Drones. Due to the extreme 3D maneuverability of small craft with thrusters , humans wouldn't stand a chance against machines capable of making advanced tactical calculations in milliseconds. Whether or not projectiles would trump high powered energy weapons would depend on the sorts of shielding and materials in use to create spacecraft with. However, a rapid fire rail gun does seem like it would be ideal for close quarters combat and require less energy to penetrate shielding and armor. But perhaps more exotic ammo than slugs would be more useful, imagine a round that on impact would release rapidly replicating nano-bots that eat through the ship's hull until there was no ship or deliver an EMP to disable the systems.

Last time I saw the Yahoo Web Directory was circa 1999 -- and it was an outmoded next to useless service back then compared to Yahoo search (which was top dog at the time) I had just assumed they'd shuttered it, what with Google kicking their ass so hard that they all but left the Search market to focus on acquiring trendy startups in other areas so they could run them into the same sort of irrelevancy they did with Search.

I don't know, but it sounds expensive and most likely french.

I was just about to try out Wave on my new iPhone after I finished deleting system32 to make my PC go faster

All major media based .coms should just block access to all users coming in from Canada. Let's show those backwater twerps what power they really have over the Internet.

Yeah, except that a single company shouldn't have to spend a bajillion dollars in order to be able to sell cars without having to kowtow down to dealer cartels. That's why the Federal Government needs to get involved -- no one should have to sell their product through a middleman.

In favor of "Blatant Attempt at Ripping-Off the Apple Store" Not as catchy, but accurate

I'm sure Chinese Firms would love to have scientists educated at the top US Universities conducting research for them. America is fast becoming a Design and Services Economy, best to leave the real innovation to China and others.

Planning or not, FEMA will always do a Heck of a Job
