How can you even look at yourself in the mirror? For shame!

Take a look at M-Disc. You'll need an M-Disc compatible burner, and the discs are more expensive, but the data is safe for up to 1,000 years. It's literally etched in stone. What is M-Disc?

That isn't exploring. That's following a pre-determined route on bike-friendly streets. That is probably the furthest thing from exploring. In the urban jungle one of the best ways to explore is to get lost. You can't do that with GPS and a preplanned route.

I have a fairly primitive media centre setup. Old iMac + NAS (running a BT client) + XBMC connected to a large LCD TV. I have a respectable catalogue of movies on my NAS, full access to Netflix as well as online streaming of current TV show. When we have friends over, they are blown away by my setup. Most thought they could only do streaming through their local cable or satellite provider.

It's only going to get easier and easier for people to ditch their old-school ways.

This sounds like something they could use as the basis for Ocean's 14.

You have to love the American system. They'll spends billions on the military trying to keep John Q Public from being killed by terrorists, but cringe at the notion of spending a dime trying to keep John Q Public from being killed by disease.

Everybody knows the U.S. intelligence community is paranoid as hell, and always listening. If not the NSA, then maybe the CIA, FBI, or any of the dozens of other intelligence agencies in the U.S.

None of these world leaders are shocked or surprised.

He's like the Linus Torvalds of the automotive industry!

Other car manufacturers say "batteries are so bullshit".

Be careful what you Mr. Musk. It can be embarrasing when somebody proves you wrong.

This is the internet. You're allowed to swear.

You are overgeneralizing. Marketing emails from legitimate companies are often stopped by opting-out. The legitimate companies have more to lose by not following the rules.

How hard can it be to really capture one on film? There are reports almost daily of bears wandering into populated areas looking for food. If this mythical creature actually exists, it should be dead easy to get legitimate proof via baited trap and motion-sensing camera.

For gawd sakes, the Ewoks managed to capture Chewbacca. Are we really that incapable?

It's not secure banking information over email. The email contains a link that takes you to a redemption site. No sensitive information is in the email. Everything is contained on secure servers - just like your bank account.

We've been able to do this in Canada for quite a while now using Interac e-Transfer. http://www.interac.ca/en/interac-etransfer/etransfer-detail

It's incredibly convenient, and only takes a few hours to transfer funds.

Maybe Michael Dell can put in his two-cents on how to turn the company around.
