Top Gear had a pre-scripted show, where they decided in the end that the Tesla would run out of power, so they had a shot of their people pushing the car, even though it still had plenty of power in its batteries. Top Gear claimed it was OK doing this, because they were showing something that could happen, even though it didn't.

That's the cool thing, I don't have to be careful, there is this large company called Microsoft that does that for me. For the record, my code is currently running on every flavor of windows from XP to Win7, (OK no XP 64 bit, but everything else) and it works just fine, I have never had an incompatibility. Now I do have a couple of apps that also run under Linux, and mono has a few rough edges, but it gets better all the time.

Instead we have 11000 confirmed dead and another 17000 missing from the disaster, but because people are idiots they only talk about the damn reactors. We are going to have more deaths this summer from rolling blackouts in a heat wave, then will happen because of these reactors.
