Tesla cars apparently come with adapters to use other chargers.

As an aside, my first guess is that they use color e-paper (regardless of cost) for power efficiency reasons.
I would take that bet. Not on smart watches in general. On Apple's smart watch. Over the last decade or so, they've gotten pretty good about waiting for others to make the obvious mistakes and then come out with something that "just works".
Just look at their music player, laptop, tablet, phone, etc...
I'm sorry that people died during the 9/11 attacks. Doesn't mean that I had any role to play in causing the attacks.
Don't hate Krugman for making predictions when they come true. He's just following the Keynesian model and letting us know where that puts us.
He's also one that will admit to being wrong, which is better than a lot of other economic bloggers out there.
Absolutely. Slashdot is the worst social news site (where people actually discuss the stories).
Except, of course, all the others.
For Linux systems, NVIDIA was the worse graphics card manufacturer. Except, of course, for all their competition.
Now, with nouveau drivers starting to mature, things are getting better. I just install Linux Mint 16, and for the first time in installing linux systems with nvidia graphics drivers (probably in 2004?), I didn't install the nvidia graphics driver and things work at an acceptable speed.
Thanks, nouveau developers, for your excellent work so far. I hope Nvidia gives you more support in the future.
What I'm saying is that for the extra $79 a year, I don't see much value added over standard amazon. Especially since if your amazon cart is $50 or more you typically get free shipping anyway.
So maybe it makes sense for you. I generally don't need that special part the next day. And for the rare times I do need something the next day, I go to a local store.
I never saw the fascination of Amazon Prime. I figured that, like most people on
Prime is for the people that must have what they bought now. Whatever happened to delaying gratification?
I opt out of the body scanners when I fly alone.
I opted out once when I flew with my wife and kids. The guy that patted me down informed me that they always waved through families with young kids. I haven't been patted down since.
I guess terrorists don't fly with young kids. And young kids can't be trained to carry bomb materials.
They're not locked in. They can leave at any time. They choose to stay.
There are certain drugs that should be made legal and have supervised usage. Like marijuana, tobacco, and alcohol.
Then there's bad stuff which has little to no use in society, where drug rehab programs should step in. Like PCP and heroin.
Then there's crazy shit, where society in general would benefit if it was uninvented. Like krokodil.
Depends on what you mean by primary. The one I use most often during the day
Errr....
It has native binaries for OS X and most Linux flavors. It's also in the repositories for several Debian derivatives.
In fact, I went to Filezilla because it was the only reliable FTP/SFTP app on OS X that I didn't have to pay an arm and a leg for. I still use it to transfer files on Linux and Mac systems.
[...] I think like a lot of people I'll be skipping this generation and seeing what comes around in the next 5-10 years.
I would expect that 5-10 years from now we'll have mirroring of our phones onto the TV screen and optional bluetooth gamepads.
Yes.
But you don't have to jump. Whoever creates your distribution will jump in your stead.
