Unfortunately, since it's not my own personal hardware and I really don't need any graphics past an X terminal and Visual Studio to do my job, I'm not really willing to muck with the drivers.

It was the northbound trip before the first charge. For the southbound trip, the car was effectively dead on the tow truck(it didn't have enough charge to disengage the parking break): http://jalopnik.com/towing-company-the-nyt-tesla-mode

The funny thing is that my experience with Quadro chips and gaming is that support is pretty much non-existant, even on Windows. My work laptop has a Quadro GPU, and I did try Starcraft 2 on it. SC2 wouldn't actually recognize the chipset,

>Two words. Occam's Razor. Your explanation is so tangled that an entire battalion of Viet Cong could hide in it. Tesla's logs show that the range dropped from 90 to 30ish at mile 400. It shows that Broden was 100% correct.

by cube13 14y ago
90 is not a "comfortable" setting, though. I agree completely that's what you do in cold weather. I do that every morning with my car. But after 3+ hours in the car, it's pretty unlikely that you'd lower the temperature at that point. EDI

The data doesn't show a significant loss of charge when he was in NYC, though(which, I believe, is around the 250 mile mark). His speed is all over the place, which would be consistent with stop and go city driving, but there isn't any sig

Yup. Musk didn't explain the biggest issue here, which was the drop in mileage overnight. There has to be a perfectly reasonable explanation, but Tesla doesn't seem willing to explain it. The .6 mile circle in front of the charging statio

If you're making and publicly selling the jig, then that's prior art, and it cannot be patented by anyone else except for you. That standard has not changed at all.

First-to-invent also gave the upper hand to large organizations that had the manpower/resources to document every step of their invention process. In all honesty, it's more of a wash.

This was around 2006, which, IIRC, was pretty much at the peak of Firefox's startup bloat issues. I'm also inclined to believe that he was on an older machine, because this would have also been IE6 days, which was definitely much faster to

It's worth pointing out that compared to ICE, electric engines are much more efficient with city-style start-stop driving. When you're stopped with an ICE, it's still using fuel to keep the engine idling. When you're stopped with an electr

So why hasn't Musk or Tesla made an official response yet? If Musk really did reach out to Broder on Friday, then Tesla should have had a skeleton press release ready to go on Monday, pointing out the major mistakes that Broder made, and po

Unless the NYT has two John M. Broder's on staff, he's not exactly only a "green" correspondent, either. He was, at one point, the White House correspondent for the paper: http://news.fiu.edu/2010/04/new-york-times-political-corresp...

Which makes the fact that Tesla lost the lawsuit in the UK even more remarkable. The burden of proof rests on the defense in the UK, not the plaintiffs.

Trading stock is, and pretty much always has been, gambling. So your strategy should be the same as blackjack: Know the rules and know your limits. For the market, you should also be in for the long term, and always use limit orders. Limi

From what I've seen, it's usually the opposite. A fairly neutral, descriptive title is changed to the linkbait article title.

To be fair, it looks like the FSF is letting LibreDWG languish anyway. There hasn't been a master commit in 2 years, and the last activity in the repository was in February 2012. I'd assume that a "high priority" project would have a lot m

You're assuming that you're going to agree with the terms of GPL5. That's certainly not a good assumption(See Torvalds, Linus).
