You can add a roof rack and tow kit. Videos are on YouTube of Model X pulling an aircraft.

I've done enough lab work that I can confidently say this: Your groundwater is not clean. It might be safe enough though. But you have a much higher risk of contamination through natural and artificial pollutants and natural fluoride levels should (hopefully) have been checked to prevent enamel damage from overexposure. Good, clean, pure water would come (in my recommendations) from a reverse osmosis filtration system, UV treatment, and chloramines (or Ozone if you can keep a residual with it) to provide a residual in the pipeline. The costs go down as the project scales up and more natural redundancies take over because of the need for maintenance applications.

I'd be greatly concerned. Not only could they reduce their costs by using an enclosed reservoir (those cleaning costs of $35,000 bi-annually? We do that each decade), but they would also limit exposure to harmful bacteria, as you mentioned. Those, most likely, the crypto and giardia inactivation is high enough at the point they are at that they can skirt it and still comply with all health department regulatory requirements.

What kind of company couldn't make money off Slashdot? It requires very low effort to post 7 stories a day and run a text based site. Only difference is if you count SlashBi and the occasional video (all things we ACTUAL users hate).

Slashdot Beta is the worst thing I have encountered in years. It's like someone took the metrics for time on page, click through rate, and advertising sales stats for pages viewed and total hits to create this abomination which is in no way useful to the users. I can get the content of Slashdot on Reddit/TechCrunch/AndroidCentral and more. I come here for the comments and the discussion. If you insist on killing the community I will throw in the towel on this site myself. Even "Slashdot Classic" used to be better before it was rolled out. Stop making things worse! It's like common sense doesn't work on you people.

It is called Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom. Cory Doctorow already figured it all out.

I sure hope that doesn't work for all three articles, since sharks aren't fish...

Or the fact that HTC did the same crazy naming scheme and released the One X then doubled down next generation with what else but the One.

Most mobile phones don't have Ethernet cables. A live demo on a phone....means wireless.

A jug of distilled water is about $2. I don't know what kind of car you have where that much gas will take you 200 miles.

The fact that other cultures have done something may set a precedent but it does not make it any less arbitrary. To make something less arbitrary it has to have meaningful justification.

You don't trust Google to keep a basic list of phone numbers? Sounds like you are missing a lot of convience for no reason when you consider it comes as part of a larger package that makes a new phone pick right up where the old one left off.

I would buy a pair in an instant. Most of what I do on my phone is read things, so what better than having it in front of your eyes? Also, completely private personal movie viewing. Four people could with in a room and watch four different movies without any external devices if they wanted.

Not me.

Given your predictions for transformation of humans into enhanced beings and eventually a transhumanist society do you feel there is an age in mind where if you are at or below said age death will be avoidable? If so, are we at that point and will twenty, thirty, or forty year olds today be able to cheat death in increments long enough to sustain them to immortality ?
