Hello Elon, Do you think the big car manufacturers are just waiting to see how well you do in the electric arena, or do you think they are playing catch up?

it is possible she's a two foot driver and overheated her brakes. I see it all the time on the highway.

it is possible that her brakes were not maintained or she was not strong enough to hit them hard enough.

you get like three full assisted pumps in modern cars. even with the engine off. that's how turbo cars are able to use vacuum assist.

I think the original (click of death) zip drive. 100MB of storage I bought in 1997 didn't turn out to be the floppy killer. The disks were unreliable and cost too much. Friends and I instead just carried our hard drives around to share data.

This reminds me that I haven't changed my avatar since I first saw this movie.

who remembers the credit card size omnipoint sim cards from the mid 90's? people used to steal em right out of your phone while you were talking.

I totaly agree with the article. There is a reason I keep a nas server running backups of all my stuff. Time and time again corporations have lost user data due to oversight. Remember the sidekick fiasko. Even my local isp at the time had a server crash and lost a whole crap load of email that apparently wasn't backed…

that's sad. I thought my job of doing tech support was repetitive. I could only imagine testing a VGA port a 1000 times a day.

Well the person is driving a 10 year old 7 series. There is no indication that he comes from money. Hell; his cluster is probably lit up like a Christmas tree at this point.

Here in america we have lines to tell stupid drivers where they can or can't pass.

Thanks. I read iWoz. Very inspiring. Wish I read such a book 12 years ago. Probably would have changed my career.

Hi Steve, what do you think of these new micro controller kits on the market today like the Arduino? Do you think the electronics hobby is dying?

I would argue that people who order these systems were bad drivers to begin with. Can we just have a big "X" marked on the back of these vehicles so I can avoid them? thanks.

I had the Samsung BlackJack. It was horrible mostly because of its speed, and internal memory. I once got an email with a large pdf attached and the phone locked up. I had pictures of me in a Bentley; gone forever! That was the day I hated the phone.

Also the [www.moller.com] aircar uses em.

Damn straight.

Would you be able to use this as a $200k tax write off?

No fios on my block. (not enough potential customers to upgrade I guess) I'm happy if my DSL line lasts through a day of interneting without disconnecting. ::sigh:: one day fios.... one day.....

Pop this baby in an Arial Atom and take it around the top gear track for some serious hoonage. Let see if Clarkson can kill it. Though it is a test engine so it might be like trying to drift a lawn tractor. Meh; Forget the test engine. I want to see some lawn tractor drifting.
