nothing justifies debian making you `apt-get install apt-transport-https` over `http` before you can add your own repos which are https only of course. but hey, it's debian.

Well, tesla plays with that "solution for everybody" itself. They even have a solution for the beginning of mankind dominating the whole universe.

Thanks, interesting article. Just read it briefly yet, but it looks like it's author summs up with that there is not even enough Li for building batteries for some billion cars.

Where did you find these numbers? There are 14,000,000 tonnes of mineable Li on earth (http://minerals.usgs.gov/minerals/pubs/commodity/lithium/).

If you need 10kg Lithium for one Powerpack (100g Li for 1kWh), you need about 500 times more Li on planet earth to have enough Powerpacks for everyone? Nice solution for mankind. But we will go to Mars anyways.

I don't think users really want the wheel to be reinvented. More like companies try to lock you in on their tech and make money with you. Fragmentation? CEO gives a shit.

As seen on a the screenshot for the new notification center calendar, the Life of an Apple user begins at 10:00 with a crossfit session. After that it is not that you go to work then. Relaxing talk with Anne on the phone, maybe talking a little business on the side, but not to rough. After Lunch you do not start to work either. Just let out all those wise thoughts gathered while living your apple lifestyle in a fresh stream, like you do.

This article is pathologically sick. Couldn't read it any more, to painful. qmail gives you pain, too. It is completly useless without applying patches, which are mostly of poor quality. And it misleads you to do most unperformant things around it. Like writing shellscripts which fork() like hell for every mail there is to process.
