Except the article points our massachusetts

then switches to long island

I smell BS here

wait, did i read an onion article?

did we forget the old mantra.

Free as in freedom, not free as in beer.

perfectly legitimate to make money off open sourced code, the IRS simply says they want to make sure you're paying your taxes on that profit.

is it a slow tuesday? let's actually put some thought into topics please.

I didn't realize there were no such things as trolls in the tech/geek culture ;-)

on a daily basis half of the comments on slashdots are trolling for something.

Guess that puts slashdoters in elite company, you know, the top 1% of assholiness

Sounds like someone's bitter about flunking the interview.

Because, you know, it's everyone else, not you.

You are clearly mistaken

and has been proven that it is entirely possible with today's technology to walk down near every path of a chess game. "Thinking" in this case is merely a parlor trick of computation power of decision trees.

As OP posted, if a computer can play a proper game of Go against an expert, then i'd be impressed.

But until then, his comment is pretty spot on.

Why is this article even worth mentioning.

Verizon doens't say unlimited

the better analogy is that a rope company wants to rent out various different load rated ropes.

you decide to rent the rope with the heaviest rated load.

you tell the rope company that you need one 3 miles long because you wanted to lasso a satellite in space from your home on earth.


The company is then in it's right to say "No we don't offer such long rope" or "Use the smaller rope to do something else" and in this case the rope company actually does have a 3mile long rope, but they say as part of their terms of service you have to be a business customer to use it.

Not a bug

it just doesn't deliver to spec

What server you on?

I finally was able to play when i logged onto the Europe EU server, however for the first 25 minutes of the gme itw as stuck in the tutorial and I couldn't leave.

Got booted and got server buy so couldn't get back in. Finally got back in againa nd played 10 mionutes before the server killed my connection. so that was a frustratiing waste of 60%

If you two are playing separately isn't that just single player mode and not required of an always on server?

if you're playing at separate times it's not like you acutally really care about what he does. Perfectly easily to parameterize your city so twhen you two go back online again, the server can take the paramteres and updates the server's version of the city

I certainly don't agree, none of the requirements you gave have any thing to do with an always on requirement.

My friends and I play Civ 5 all the time. My box is the strongest so I always host the server.

I play alone most of the time but when my friends want to play, I set up a server and invite them in. We save the game I can reload it whenever we wish to get other again. I dont see why i need a server for that. We each have our own individual games anyway since we mostly play solo. However if we did feel the need to play together, a quick load and we're back to playing together.

Overestimating the support?

Read: Servers just got pummeled and while the max servers were allowing those who got in play, a bunch more didn't get to play.

sounds like they might have hit upon a fun game. Delivery might have sucked but the idea certainly has traction.

i hate to say it, but i love pokemon.

when i heard they scrapped the pokemon and instead focused on the ds, I was getting ready to just return my wii u deluxe.

The new gameplay certainly would be awesome for pokemon, but now, the zelda game is at least a year away and with the starting day issues, I dont know what to do with this system anymore.

my 1 yr old just stepped on the big fancy controller and threw it against the console =T

epic ownage.

there goes the deluxe edition.

and not elon's interpretation of them?

In the 3rd pic the Rated range to distance log.

the 80miles rated range to a sudden drop to 35 would be a WTF moment for me if I was driving this thing, anybody know the scenario that would cause that? It might be legit that he thoguht he had 80 miles

Also the low power charge (not at a super station) does that mean that if we pluged it in for 30 minutes it only gets a about 1mile per minute? So if we needed to go the other 200 miles on the route, it'd be 200 minutes? Though Broder here asserted he charged it for an hour, he did add that if tesla said it would regain its charge lost over night, he might be led to believe that the est 32 might "jump" back up to the original 80 he had as the logs show.

I also thought that batteries should never lose their entire charge, so elon's assertion that the battery never ran dry is probably a fail safe mechanism they put in place after that article a month ago that some guy left his in the airport for 2 months only to find it bricked.

4th pic, the climate control, how many of you guys fiddle with the cabin temperature like the logs said you would?

like you go from 73.5 to 69 to 71 all in a matter of minutes? that assertion just confuses me. What if the clima control just doesn't react as expected?

Also in pic 1, someone want to explain to me what the downline means at the 450 mark? the car was cruising at 50 then hit 0 instantly then went back up to 50? Huh?

Not saying Broder might not have added some sensationalism to tell his story, as people have mentioned "It just works" is kind of boring. But I'm not fully sure about Elon's side either
