Actual practical uses? Steve Jobs once had issues demoing iPhone software because everyone in the convention center had their own Wi-Fi hotspot and the network congestion led to everyone having garbage connections. You can find it on YouTube, itâ(TM)s actually interesting to watch him adlib when things donâ(TM)t go right. The next day he told the software team to put wired ethernet into the iPhone. And it has been that way ever since.

Every Tesla supercharger (NACS) supports high voltage DC charging. Many CCS public chargers only support slow level 2 A/C charging or slow DC charging. If you go to a supercharger, you know you can fill your car in 20 to 40 minutes. If you go to a CCS charger, it might take eight hours to fill your car. This uncertainty is a problem. Either the CCS world needs (needed?) to get its act together, or the brand âoesuperchargerâoe was going to take over all the mindshare anyway.

There's an Easy Solution: Give up. Hire most people, and then fire people who don't work out quickly. Of course, I work in healthcare, where it takes six months to go from contract offer to a new hire start date, so this can't work for us.

Iâ(TM)ve been using appleâ(TM)s enterprise mobile device management software to set limits on my kids phones. JAMF is great for a slashdotter (and free for two devices if you read daring fireball) but the average iPhone parent could use something with a bit more âoeit just worksâ in it. This is a good idea if apple implements it well, though it will kill any 3rd parties that already sell such services.

Maybe Dice could sell it's slashdot business to someone who'll roll back the beta...

Please. Space Station 3D was shot in IMAX 3D on board ISS and was was one of the best $10 I've ever spent in a movie theater. (As for the budget - it would have been a much better film if they DIDN'T have the narration by Tom Cruise.)

I, for one, look forward to exercising my 21st amendment rights.

I'll answer your challenge - Jack Kirby didn't create Spider-Man. That was Stan Lee and Steve Ditko. Also note that Mr. Lee put a hyphen in the name so that it would look visually different than "Superman". Please use the hyphen.

I can't find out from Apple's page - do the new Mac Minis come with a bundled remote control? Because I'm thinking of putting one under the TV - especially with the low power draw at idle, the ability to do 1080p without breaking a sweat, and the firewire 800 port that will tell my external hard drives to spin down when not needed. Heck, this could probably handle my Time Machine backups for the other macs in the house while serving 1080p. Now if only Apple would rent HD Movies to this machine. Sadly, they still only rent HD to the Apple TV. ---matt

Or you could go to GOP.gov and realize that both parties get to use the .gov domain.

It isn't Obama's fault that the GOP hasn't made GOP.gov into a site that people want to spend time on - clearly the GOP would gain if they could engage the electorate with their platform and their proposals to solve our problems. They have the platform, they aren't using it, and it's not Obama's problem that change.gov is so much more high profile.
