From TFA "Tri Alpha’s 23-meter-long device..."
Won't fit into my car damn it.

I told ya you should have got the hatchback.

When the question instead became, "we're going to put things into space for $50M - how are we going to do that?" a whole new engineering methodology unfolded.

If NASA never existed, do you think there would be any private space exploration today, much less "putting something in space for $50M"? You think there would have been nuclear energy in the 20th century without a Manhattan Project?

It's easy for a company to pretend they hit a home run when they start the inning on third base.

That's on my list of things to do for my Audi. Apparently the system has support for fobs, and I have instructions for coding them, but I don't actually have any fobs. So I have to go through the same process. It's an old car though, so it wasn't expensive either... just leaky.

The mechanics I've talked to say pretty much all the 4.2 liter Audis they've seen have been leaky... story of my life with bored-out versions. The 7.3 Ford is the same way.

I want my money back, Slashdot!

Yes, but hybrids are pure junk and have nothing to do with Tesla.

Please provide a link that shows that MB has been going with the same tech as Tesla and it has to be residential. Because if that is true, then it means that this story is a total lie by Daimler.

Google for 'Daimler makes electric batteries' and you will find that lg makes them for Daimler.

this will be the end of Daimler. They do not make their own batteries.

According to Wikipedia, they employ 47,000 screeners. I don't know what those jobs you linked to are, but the first one is to a cargo company.

There are several examples of people writing that, even if they don't think that on an earlier article here about a waste storage incident at Los Alamos.
http://science.slashdot.org/story/15/01/11/1820225/nuclear-waste-accident-costs-los-alamos-contractor-57-million
eg."The reason we have a nuclear waste issue is because of the reprocessing ban that Jimmy Carter put in place"

A vast number of others are on the Fukishima articles - especially the ones on the day proclaiming success before the list of problems became clear (eg. the secondary problems from fuel storage on site).

You'll need to back that assertion up. They are federal employees with federal benefits.

Until 30 years later when you realize you have to pay pensions...

What, when the polyfuses on their motherboard flip and they don't get to use their USB ports for a while? I have yet to have smoke come out of anything I brought home except when I deserved it, putting way too much power into some speakers once.

Rand Paul made just enough noise to make it seem like something good was happening, and disappears into the Sunday morning talk shows.

Meanwhile, the handful of legislators who have been working to oppose the Patriot Act are left dangling by that skeevy SOB.

All those slashdotters who were going all RAND JESUS! should take this as a lesson. The man is a shit-sodden self-promoter. He gives absolutely no fucks about what powers the NSA has. He's just desperate to get the BitCoin vote. Maybe score some contributors off the Silk Road customers.

Did you at least laugh right in their face?

This doesn't compete with PuTTY, probably: odds are it will be a console-mode ssh binary just like what cygwin users have already but without a dependency on cygwin, and a server just like what cygwin users have already but with NT auth (incl. AD) rather than /etc/passwd authentication which maps to local SIDs. PuTTY does have a command-line client, but nobody is paying for that. They're paying (if they pay at all) for the interface.
