The kernel debugger, ntsd and windbg share a debugging engine, and visual studio is a different one.

At higher levels, VS is a much nicer experience. If you ever need to get down to lower levels, especially windows libraries and services, the power of the ntsd/windbg engine and its extensions make it much more useful. Knowing it also helps when you eventually need to use KD.

That is itself a major issue with many American cities. There doesn't seem to be a way to force amalgamation, leaving the core city to handle more of the cost, and increasing the difficulty and overhead of regional infrastructure like public transit.

No matter what there will still be more than 7 billion people left on earth.

Almost everything about the plan to go to Mars, especially about creating a "backup population" is uncertain. Compare that to the current, immediate suffering and lost potential that is caused by poverty and disease.

I think if you want to maintain the image of a respected journal you should probably disable commenting on the site..

It could be that YouTube videos are the cesspool of the internet and that adding google+ to them isn't a solution to this, just an excuse to try and increase the adoption of google+.

There isn't anything wrong with thinking that YouTube comments are often terrible while also disliking that google is trying to push their own social integration into all of the their services.

All of the detailed views in Google Maps are actually aerial photography rather than satellite images. Much easier to get that kind of detail from 1500ft.

Almost all phones do use the base tower to speed up getting a fix with Assisted GPS: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_devices_with_Assisted_G...

That seems like a reasonable use for a $250 computer, but using a $1300 computer with a 2560x1700 display as a dumb terminal is a bit of a waste.

Your average end-user is going to be pretty disappointed when they find out that all they can do with their expensive laptop is browse the internet.

It seems like the best use of this of this might be to run Linux, but if you accept a slightly lower resolution, you can get a pretty decent Thinkpad or Envy that has a lot more flexibility.

Well remember that the car "lost" 60 miles of range overnight. If the Tesla people told him that charging it for a bit would restore the range it is conceivable that he would think that the whole 60 miles would come back. Remember that not everyone has a detailed understanding of how cold temperatures affect lithium ion batteries.

From your own page, with options, it can be configured to be more than $101,000. Its likely that they would have a fully loaded demo car, so this is probably right.

Corruption? Weak willed people? You are living in your own little world.

I have a 5km daily commute that I split between biking (in the summer) and driving. I still could not get by with one car that only has a 200 mile range.

I like to go the cabin in the summer and to the mountains in the winter. In good weather I could make it to both one way, but not return. What if I wanted to go visit family in another city? You can charge it once you get there, but it is slow unless you have the special charger, and will restrict your ability to use the car while there.

These are not isolated or rare situations, there are things that people do all the time.

Tesla cars are intriguing and exciting, but there are still real problems with their mass acceptance. Trying to pass off these problems as trivial, corrupt or ignorant is, well, ignorant.

Unix is an operation system, not a religion. I would argue that the pragmatism and adaptability contributed more to its success than its style.
