Just a matter of who's gonna buy Dish Network at this point.

Also, I fucking adore The Incredibles, so many stars for this post.

They won't. They're still run by a corporation, and they don't want competition any more than FOX News does from any of the teabagger sites or CNN wants from [whoever it is that also does whatever it is that CNN does].

I don't think suing Apple for knowingly letting people's SMS service (for which said people pay their wireless provider) get pretty much completely broken if they switch from an iPhone is entitlement. I think it's more suing Apple for knowingly letting people's SMS service (for which said people pay their wireless…

The messed up part is, FCC is right to make that assumption, and they'll have the backing of the media. It's not just FOX News that will peddle these new rules as good for "freedom" and "capitalism." MSNBC, CNBC and CNN will do the same (but under different reasons) since they're also run by big corporations who would…

You're right. Ayn Rand's psychotic philosophy is much worse than generic corporate greed.

Williams is a troglodyte. Him working with Reynolds is a happy circle jerk of stupid.

Sigh. :(

Should've stabbed a guy instead, Gordo.

I don't get why you're so damn hostile over it, to be honest. Yes, batteries suck, but I don't think they suck enough to warrant the two long-ass rants about how sucky suck electric cars are. Solid-state batteries, which are getting closer and closer (Univ. of Colorado folks developed one that in practice has double…

I state pretty often in this whole discussion that batteries and range are still big issues with electric cars. Nobody is debating that. I'm saying that as cars in terms of literally everything except energy storage they're as good as or better than ICE cars nowadays. You didn't really need to completely twist what I…

The closest thing to a "normal price" is the Leaf, and while it's a higher price, it's not outrageous. Again, I'm not getting the "compromises" in making them you're talking about other than battery packaging, something the Leaf (more affordable) and Model S (expensive) both do very well, resulting in no downside from…

Maintenance, fuel cost and reliability are big driving factors in terms of EV appeal. When the powertrain is reduced to an electric motor that will last as long as the universe and a differential, things get simpler. I still don't get what you mean by EV's being "worse." Range is the one and only downside at this…

Interior space depends on how they package batteries. The Model S has plenty of it. The Leaf isn't bad compared to the Versa. Range anxiety isn't "performance", it's range anxiety. Basically, I think you just mean batteries suck right now, and I agree 10000% percent with that.

What do you mean by "performance" exactly? Electric motors put out a ton of torque from when you step on the pedal. I've been in a Volt and Leaf, and short of using telemetry, one can't tell any difference whatsoever compared to performance in same segment gas cars.

That'll be for the Morons Desperate to Prove Wealth demographic.

Hell, for $40K, I'd start saving up to get one. With that 9-speed and modern engines, the thing could probably cruise on the highways at very low RPMs for nice fuel savings before opening up for some good ole fashioned off-roading. I like the way you think.

Explain to me again why I'm supposed to take NASCAR seriously and not as pro-wrestling on wheels when every other race ends with "drama" and drivers throwing punches.

To be fair, the Twitter troll isn't that wrong. Little E is 39 and hasn't exactly lit up the circuit in his 15+ years. If he wasn't Dale Sr.'s kid, he probably doesn't get the chances he's gotten.
