Can I be the first to call Bullshit? Tesla has met and surpassed DOT standards. what safety issues need to be addressed before the Tesla can be sold? Even the fires that Tesla has experienced are at a much lower percentage than the fires that are fairly commonplace in gasoline cars. So please enlighten us on the "Safety Issues" that need to be addressed before the Tesla can be sold in Iowa.

Politechnician? Re-Engineering the internet for political reasons.

I don't normally reply to trolls but I must point out that you omitted the part where I also said "If there were absolutely no further room for recovery". I don't know anyone that wants to live as a complete lockin and I never suggested anyone be euthanized against their will so stop reading crap that isn't there into it.

Uhm no I am not advocating pulling the plug I was warning against it. why don't you learn to read.

While I would agree with you in the long term if there were absolutely no further room for recovery. However It is very likely that she will still gain back some of the motor controls she has lost. (though likely not all of it.) Brains have an amazing capacity for rewiring around damage, but it takes time and enormous effort on the part of the patient.

no that's new mexico.

And now they have disallowed all commants on their FB page.

OxyContin is time release Heroin. Next time read the article before trying to defend that fatass lying piece of shit.

Wrong! If you cannot duplicate the results of an science experiment independently, then it didn't happen. This is science not religion. Science works off of provability and reproducibility. Just because "I said so" doesn't make it so.

I think it's interesting that all you people complaining about astroturfing are posting as AC.

That's nice. but it has nothing to do with my comment.

A new payment model is most certainly news I am interested in hearing about. I am that guy that draws the short straw and ends up running the servers. This Is an innovative payment structure... now lets just see if it catches on.

sure during peak hours this in not great for urban traffic but off peak times it would still be very feasible. It's about time Traffic and traffic control started communicating in a smart way. This sort of tech is all precursor to auto drive cars.

RTFA this article is trying to suggest that there has not been the well documented +2c rise in global temps in the last decade. From the Article: "Perhaps the most inconvenient fact is the lack of global warming for well over 10 years now. This is known to the warming establishment, as one can see from the 2009 "Climategate" email of climate scientist Kevin Trenberth: "The fact is that we can't account for the lack of warming at the moment and it is a travesty that we can't." But the warming is only missing if one believes computer models where so-called feedbacks involving water vapor and clouds greatly amplify the small effect of CO2."

Do water vendors feel the need to state the obvious... like water cures thirst?
