The only wireless router I've ever owned that didn't need to be rebooted all the time (or ever) and didn't have weird compatibility problems with certain clients that needed their wifi toggled to fix weird performance and latency issues. Yes, you can complain about the configuration and interface, but you do that like once, and the rest of the time you hope to leave the thing alone.

Now - where can I buy a router this isn't full of sales gimmicks and just works right? Clearly going to the high-end of consumer routers doesn't cover that.

If a surgeon doesn't have the hand eye coordination to notice 150ms delay, I do not want him operating on me.

Enhancing the collective wealth of humanity without giving captains of industry their cut will henceforth be known as "fraud"

Solar power is still just a tiny tiny fraction of total energy output, yet hackers can cause massive blackouts? If only they knew how to hack the SCADA systems that run traditional power plants :rollseyes:

This poorly written article is from March. The problem has already been solved. Why I am reading this on slashdot now?

"In other news, George Clooney reports his iPhone 1 had a bug in 2007"

I'm sure _no one_ at Tesla has gotten someone "on the horn" and planned out their capacity for the next several years. Also of course production cannot be expanded at any battery plant or new plants built, because of the oh-so-precious resource that is lithium, one of the most abundant elements on earth, right behind Carbon and Chlorine.

Why is this trash on slashdot?

Gaming the system by making the car safer? Next you will tell me they have a "unfair advantage" because it doesn't use gas.

More anti-Tesla vitriol here.

You mean like mass produced electric cars? Or maybe reusable rockets :-/

Elon Musk does his homework.

I'm not going to let your facts get in the way of my insanity!

All true but I don't know why rebuttals have to be so complicated:

Broder didn't charge the car to full, charged it less at each charging opportunity, and didn't bother plugging in overnight, cold night or not. Then he hit the road when the car told him he would not make it.

No one that owns a smartphone can say what he did wasn't moronic or malicious.

So where's the data that shows that rich people aren't left lane hogging road raging jackasses like most other people? How about the guy last week in a Z4 that almost caused an accident as he tried to cut me off in the left lane, the only reason being he thought I was going too fast. Anecdotal evidence for sure, but at least I have some form of evidence.

You could say it's 3 failures - but it's not. What it is is that no single person really cares about this launch, it's just a jobs program for many many people. I see it happen everyday - fortunately we don't lose $2 billion dollar satellites, but the same principle applies.

If there was a Orville Wright or a Steve Jobs or even a Jeff Bezos in charge of this satellite, this wouldn't happen. Although this is easier said than done, I'm sure there are many dedicated people who would make it their life and death mission to make sure it succeeded - but they are held in check by everyone else participating in the "jobs program". I have no idea how to fix this, but it's a problem everywhere around the world.

Clearly the technical stuff he will educate himself on, and ask for the things he needs in order to do so. The only thing you have to be concerned about is social skills, and having some semblance of normality in childhood.

Just authorize the drones for autonomous kill functionality, this way we can take care of those evil speeders for good!
