You know, it might just be that those people that took 4 hours just aren't good at running wires. It might not have had anything to do at all with the fact that they were black or women.

The fact that you assert that there is a causal link with no evidence pretty much defines you as a racist misogynist. Did you have access to those particular students SAT scores? Have you assessed their high school transcripts? Did you compare their performance with any other students performance, other than your own? Sounds like a flawed observation to me.

Comment: Ruggedization has more to do with internals (Score 2) 57

Making a ruggedized product has more to do with component selection and layout than it does with a tougher case. Failures happen when components become dislodged from the mobo's, not when the case cracks. In fact, the case cracking could be helping the computer/device because it's going to use energy that otherwise might go towards prying components off their pads.

A ruggedized computer is not simply the same as a non-rugged version crammed into a heavier case. A waterproof and dustproof version is, though.

The problem was that the car was telling him that he had plenty of miles to go when he parked it for the night. I would expect the car to give me a reasonable approxiamation of the range I have left, which is what the car says it's doing, instead of some BS PR number, even if I didn't charge it up 100% or decided to drive through the city.

The article accurately states the route he took and what he did when charging. He didn't charge the car to full capacity, but he did charge it until it showed that it was well within the range he wanted to go.

Elon Musk was trying to say that he never mentioned driving in Manhattan, but he did state that fact. He took the car on a detour through Manhattan to Connecticut, and when he parked it, it still said he had plenty of miles to get back to the charging station. When he got up in the morning, 2/3's of those miles dissappeared from the car overnight.

Not what I'd expect from a luxury automobile.
