That's why Musk and his Hyperloop are targeting the short runs, like NY-> DC or SEA -> PDX. Different tools for different jobs. If they'd share infrastructure, though, that might make things easier.

I'm sure I mis-remembered the terminology that they called the 'charging station' in the video, or they announced the supercharger at the same time and I conflated terms, but semantics aside, "The Robotic Wrench(tm)" does solve the problem of the speed of charging. And IIRC, Tesla opened the patent on it so that other auto manufacturers could choose to manufacture to this battery specification and speed the implementation of the concepts (and generate tons of business for Tesla's battery factory, I'm sure) means it doesn't have to be just Tesla cars that use the same concepts.

Tesla posted a video in 2013 where they shared their SuperCharger technology - and fully charging 2 cars before an Audi could get a full tank of gasoline. Yes, it requires a significant infrastructure to be built that doesn't exist yet, but it's certainly one way to ensure that batteries are reconditioned regularly, and an easy way to fix the slow charging problem.

This. Especially the audio, but in general, any auto-playing video is unwanted.

You missed the Mythbusters episode where they proved the toothbrush got just as much fecal coliform on it when stored in the Kitchen as did the one in the bathroom, didn't you?

Why not pay someone to make a case mod for an existing phone, a la the bluetooth keyboards for tablets? There's no reason to require the phone manufacturers to do it, they just to get out of the way when we want to extend the phone. NB: I stuck with the Motorola Backflip as long as I could for the external keyboard as well. I liked being able to use it as a kickstand as well as a keyboard, and the hinges were pretty sturdy. It got too hard to play Ingress on, though, because it couldn't keep up with the latest code. :-/

Without addressing the correctness of the process, the Microsoft Exchange documentation suggests a SAN certificate for the Exchange servers that includes the public names and internal names on the same certificate. Lync does the same thing.

While this reduces services and split-naming confusion, it also puts your internal naming convention in the public certificate. People do it because MSFT says so. This Exch2007 article (Yes, old, but the first link in google. There are more examples.) says to put the NetBios name in as well: http://blogs.technet.com/b/exc...

Zim: Our mission begins now! Let us rain some doom down on the filthy heads of our doomed enemies!

Gir: I'm going to sing the Doom Song now! Doom, doom, doom, doom, doom-doom, doom!

Fluxbox solves all of my needs. Easy to understand, easy to manage. No need to overthink the DE.

Suggestion - Apply to work with this guy from LA. In 6 - 12 months, start making noise about wanting to transfer positions to the Seattle office.

Once you're in Seattle, with a job, you're not a Californian any more, and you can move to MSFT campus for the experience.

If you're trying to pay for a San Francisco or New York house on a salary anywhere else, you aren't moving. Seattle salaries account for the fact that housing prices are 25-30% lower in urban Seattle / Bellevue / Redmond than in San Francisco, and the surrounding communities are significantly lower than that.

Per one of several cost-of-living comparison sites you can google for:
Rent Prices in San Francisco, CA are 71.43% higher than in Seattle, WA
Restaurant Prices in San Francisco, CA are 6.31% higher than in Seattle, WA
Groceries Prices in San Francisco, CA are 3.62% higher than in Seattle, WA
Local Purchasing Power in San Francisco, CA is 10.27% lower than in Seattle, WA

Oy. I'm American too, and I know 60m != 60'. 197' isn't much better, but really. C'mon.

Yes. This. They have exactly zero chance of affecting change in DPRK, but Korean Government will get some hard currency to work with.

This. If an admin like the GP is so high and mighty about DNS records meeting RFC compliance (You do listen for DNS on both UDP and TCP right? And you've signed your domain with DNSSEC?), you can at least do your SMTP services correctly too. Asking for an authed SMTP submission session for each domain is now the correct best practice. Unauthed SMTP relays are a dying breed.

Guppies make too many babies in my tank, any way. How do we order these?
