You should have written GOP lawmakers push for a permanent ban on internet taxes. But then again slashdot is just as politically biases against the right as the rest of the liberal media. The socialists who have run the country for the last 6 years wouldn't dream of it.

Upmodded for total lack of understanding of physics! They will never have enough fuel to pitch over fly 100 miles back up range. It is a fantasy propogated by the African Musk.

Just more activist trying to cause an another unwarranted hullabaloo. Diesel engines are a blessing. I ought to know. I've owned Cummins stock for many years.

No good video? In the era of rocket cam? He should say, no video he wishes to show. Elon Musk is a master propagandist.

Great idea. The people who don't make good grades get to pay for it. Socialists like Obama have inflated higher education costs with subsidies and government loans for 30 years, and they're still at it. What it really is is a sop for his allies, for the liberal elites who teach in these schools. How about the government getting out of the business or providing education grants and loans? College costs will adjust to their real value to students.

Better her than me. What did she do before Tuesday? Click on that free offer link? That would be illuminating.

I finally got to the (current, temporary) end of the the comment page on this article, and I find this particular comment somewhat ironic, given that it seems like about 80% of the comments about floppies have been pro-floppy, anti-change-for-change-sake, "maybe there's a very good reason to use floppies in this case."

It may be that most geeks seem to think that tech should be bought every six months, but certainly most Slashdot commenters seem to think otherwise (and, in general, are prone to being luddites, in my experience -- manifested as profound distrust in new technology and a dismissal of any new tech that's not ready to be useful today, right now, in its current state).

Indeed. Let this whizkids change the world, over there! And keep their non-western values to themselves. I've see enough turbins at the airport, thank you.

In Minnesota it was the coldest year since 1996. Go figure. NOAA (stuffed with Obama activists), Met, and WMA are corrupt beyond description. Ignore them.

That tree is truly the Heart of Darkness. A 2 year old would not be hunting bats. But he would be putting stuff in his mouth. A bad combo.

Ever work in a law firm? My wife (an attorney) tells horror stories.

Yes, because in the world of search, for example, Google's getting their lunch handed to them by, erm, hold on a second ... Bing?

Ask your average American college student in China what they think of one party rule. Oh yeah, there aren't any!

How can you plant more trees if they are being cut down by people like me and used for heating?

The mission is not worthwhile. It is the most phenominal waste of money in the name of science in human history. Its extravagant cost starves America's space program in its return to the moon. Worse it, the program aids Russia, enemy of the world. Deorbit ISS today!
