The scary part is, you actually believe in this crap!(?)

Well earning 1 million dollars over two decade span in this industry working as an consultant is actually pretty abysmal.

And whats with the bow analogy? Are you saying that you are estimating wrong all the time, but you do so faster than anyone in the industry? Because going 200 mph, isn't that impressive, if it means you are going to crash horribly...

Also, why do you believe using ; to debug helps your development 6 months down the line? I find comments and well structured code is the right path there. Also, explain to me, how you debug weird branched code, without stepping through frames (up and down) - and why would you ever pass on the ability to hot wire your code by manipulating the current scope using your debugger?

If you are doing any serious Java programming, buy an IntelliJ license (or apply for a free OS license). It is miles ahead of Eclipse and NetBeans.

Are you insane?

There is no way your shot-gun approach to debugging is ever faster or better than dropping JS into a debugger; having something like intellij hook into your browser and debug your code running in an IDE is by miles better and faster than what you suggest.

Especially if you are doing something difficult and not just trying to load an ajax request...

The money saved on health care alone should be enough of an incentive, even for jerks like you, whom only care for yourself.

Also, what most slashdotters seems to have missed, this is a good business decision - Elon knows that he is going to face competition from the major players in the car market - by opening up his patents on charging, he is gaming that the next batch of cars will support the system *his* cars are using.

By being the defacto standard, he can ensure his customers will have access to charging stations, when the big guns starts putting them up around the world - if a competing standard is chosen, the Tesla might face difficulties selling in the future.

mmm... just end them in CAFE:BABE:xxxx and start at 0, easy to remember :)

Also, face:b00c... really? but I guess it makes it easy for them to remember.

Yeah, just like robbing a bank is ok, as long as you only take the small bills, I mean, it's designed for that right?

Or only stabbing people a little, their blood vessels are elastic and can handle a small puncture....

You sir, should not be driving if you believe that.

So you are saying, it's ok to break the law, as long as everyone are doing it?

Ahrem.. and anyone listening for your cell signal or any other electronic device you have, that will happily ping away its presence. Good for you for turning off WiFi, but trust me, it's not the only thing bad guys and good guys will be listening for. NFC, RFID, BT - if its broadcasting, someone will be trying to pick it up.

(Yes, it is indeed close to impossible to listen in on your conversation, but the fact that your phone is communicating with a tower means there is a signal that can be fingerprinted to "you" - "you" being the device in your pocket; which interestingly can be used later to correlate data, when your surveillance network is big enough)

I think you are confusing standards with the real world.

Your device is constantly beaconing to the entire world around it, what networks it knows - and it will often quite happily connect to annyone claiming to be that home network, enabling for all sorts of fun snooping attacks.

Go lookup creepyDOL network and the presentation for same from Def Con.

So you are against licensed drivers, licensed engineers, licensed doctors, licensed electricians, etc.?

But my gun is special, I'm special! 'Murica fuck yeah!

How is it, you think that you can disprove something with the same argument, that you used to say can't be used for proving?

I live in a Country where guns are banned, and you know what? Crime with guns are exceedingly rare; they are hard to come by and aren't needed - if you want to rob someone, chances are they aren't carrying any kind of weapon and will give up their cash without problems.

Now obviously you paranoid 'Muicans will think that this is a bad thing, allowing yourself getting robbed - but truth is, we have lower crime rate than you guys *and* when someone does get robbed and choose to fight, they have a way better chance of survival than your gun shot victims.

By the ways, those "statistics" you mention, they are from the same period of time, where lead was dropped from gasoline, which has been *shown* to cause aggression and violence.

And do not even get me started on understanding things

Well that's the gist of it, I'd say?

Not only that, but how about cleaning up your own yard before yelling at the neighbour? The US has been adamant about doing anything about pollution and unlike China, they aren't heavily investing in sustainable energy.
