Submission + - NVIDIA has probably screwed up again 2
hvidstue writes: Both 'JayzTwoCents' and 'Linus Tech Tips', two very respectable review channels of primarily computer hardware, are using very strong language in describing how NVIDIA allegedly has turned to mafia methods in trying to control reviews from fellow reviewer Steven Walton, that runs the channel 'Hardware Unboxed'. Their titles are "NVIDIA... You've officially gone TOO far this time..." and "NVIDIA might ACTUALLY be EVIL...", respectively.
Jason states:
"...that they make a good product, but making a good product doesn't make you not a shit CEO and a shit company",
while Linus put it this way:
"This sends a message: 'You better make sure you get onboard with Nvidia's vision for the direction of the gaming industry, or else ...' " and "You'd have to be a complete fucking idiot to think this would not get immediately published".

Also, it gives publicity about the launch - and even if negative, it will not hurt business at all. No one will stay away just because of this.

Now, as far as the practice of selling you a service that they can't provide, that's just not acceptable. But this is a problem inherent in all communications technologies.
Except in countries where consumer laws forbid that practice.

More precise:
AT&T ASDL only goes to 6 mbit (if original statement is otherwise true)
ADSL in general can have a bit (no pun intended) higher speeds.

Tell that to bakers of Finnish rye bread. It contains no added sugar at all - but still, the bread rises. It must be like magic to you, I presume ;)
Cool fact: It only contains whole rye flour (also called dark rye), water and salt. Nothing else. - and it taste fantastic.

Well the public transit system is awesome and cheap and integrated. We lived in the suburbs of Copenhagen. We didn't need to buy a car, although we hired one 3 times. The rest of the time, cycling and PT. Safe cycling paths to everywhere.
That description does only fit in Copenhagen and other of the largest cities in Denmark. It is quite different in the rest of the country.

This is a stupid battle to make against Tesla. If "We" win, then Tesla just stops selling the models with limitations, only having the expensive version on market.
Then we lose, because:
- 1. There are no longer any limitations to circumvent.
- 2. There are no longer any cheaper versions of the big cars.
Alternatively, Tesla will stop making easy upgrades and will build separate models for each tier - thereby effectively locking you to a tier and it will bring up the prices for all models because of increased costs.
