So, awesome, I can go for a Sunday drive in a fun car and feel good about it. Except that I only have a few hours for this drive (if I'm driving cautiously), and once I'm done, I'm done for the day.

According to the Tesla website... "With the 45 minute QuickCharge or a 5 minute battery swap, you can drive from LA to San Francisco, Washington to New York or take even longer road trips in about the same time as in a conventional car." So really, you can take a 3 hr drive, plug in the car for 45 min then take another 3 hr drive. Selling a car that can only be used for 3 hrs each day is not logical, thats why they implemented the 45 min quick charge or the 5 min battery swap.

This post was marked as Troll? I don't understand why someone would be marked as a troll if they are voicing their problems with linux on the same article that criticizes the lack of criticism of Linux! Maybe the poster could have worded it differently and put softer as to not hurt the feelings of the linux developers but do we really need to mark him as a troll? This is the problem with /., if you say anything against linux you're a troll. Of course i expect to be labeled as a troll and/or off topic with this post, but it needed to be said.

The Copyrightability of Twitter Posts 183

TechDirt has an interesting look at some of the questions arising about the copyrightability of Twitter messages. I haven't seen any actual copyright lawyers weigh in yet, but it certainly will be interesting to watch the feathers fly until someone nails down the answer. "[...] it seems like there would be two issues here. The first is whether or not the content is covered by copyright — and, for most messages the answer would probably be yes (there would need to be some sort of creative element to the messages to make that happen, so a simple 'hi' or 'thanks' or whatever might not cut it). But, the more important question then would be whether or not ESPN could quote the Twitter message. And, there, the answer is almost certainly, yes, they could, just as they could quote something you wrote in a blog post."
