E911 routes to a regional call center. If it had been routed to a more local location, my step-son would likely be still alive, as his son was still on the phone with dispatch, but dispatch apparently had no idea where Culver City actually is, and had no idea how to direct the ambulance/police to his apartment.

So each Powerball is 100kWhs? When did Tesla start making city sized storage units?

is that they do one of a very few smart things when it comes to investing: brand market funds, low cost, low load. Having a commission-paid advisor for this info just cuts into your returns.

And I would venture that until you have well over $1M US, this advice would serve you pretty well. Stock picking is for fools and people with a lot of money.

Ha ha ha ha. "In production"? Really? Have you seen one? A demonstrator? Photos?

Anyway, its a little over 2 years after laying down $5K that I asked for my money back (about 7 months ago. At that time, they would not talk about a time line. Last week, my brother got an email asking him to design his X, and a note that it would be a minimum of 10 weeks before delivery.

Anyway, the point is that Musk's business model doesn't involve communicating, which isn't really up for discussion.

How about ever? I put down a deposit on a Model X, as did my brother. 2 years late and we didn't have a single communication. Not one. Same with PayPal.

that he waited until Jobs was dead to say this. Makes me think so highly of him as a human being.

Thank you. It isn't that I can't, it isn't that I won't, it is "why should I spend more and more time doing what you want me to do to support your ideology, rather than what I think I need to do?"

Sure. On every fucking machine I work with, from now until doomsday, because why?

Right, because FLOSS. As if that were actually a reason.

The choices were between media being posted in every available codec or only approved FLOSS. So now, I get to watch 1/2 of what's available because someone doesn't like my choice of codec. That's true freedom.

"My computer runs well, does everything I want but I can't put the latest bells and whistles on it. Waaaaaahh."

The fact that you say that since you have an Intel Processor you should be able to run the latest OS means you don't know what you're talking about. Apple doesn't want your late night, drunken support calls, that's all.

Sure, and you can do that on an iPhone. It's called a web app. Maybe you've heard of them?

But that's not the same as reprogramming the stereo to play ads for a competing company TO TEH EXCLUSION of the OE. Which is what AdMob does.

They ban being required to put the stickers on while they are building the cars. And they REFUSE to let anyone else use their name. Bastards!

Also, when you start your car, you can't have a third party add-on take over your display to sell Ford ads. Unbelievable!

I can't wait to be able to put Ford stickers on the back of Toyota trucks, and use your Droid to advertise At&T!

Really? Productivity defined as?

Would an excel spreadsheet render properly on a Droid? Do you code in C# on the Nokia? Pray tell, what forms of productivity do you increase, Almighty one?
