I feel you on this one, but building an industry on misinformation is not the way. Another thought: maybe we need to stop being so obsessed and utterly dependent on cars in general. Live locally, support your community, become more self-rel

If it is PR mastery (not convinced) it's in the tone of the writing. It reminds me of a notice of late payment I received from The Economist magazine some years back. It was so darn polite and diplomatic, I kept it in a shoebox ever since.

I'm in full agreement that the Tesla owners should step forward and give their side of the story. I can empathize with why they wouldn't though, as this seems like a (ahem) charged and highly public issue.

This comment doesn't clearly refute claims made by the original blog post. The statement "they probably aren't actually bricks, but cars in need of servicing" sounds inconclusive. All I am saying is if people are going to refute the origina

Is there a "print" function with Sublime Text, for the odd time I need to print something out? How about converting a file to PDF?

If someone really wants to stop contributing to pollution, oil spills, energy dependence etc - don't buy a car. Any car. Manufacturing cars requires a tremendous amount of energy and natural resources. Everything we manufacture and consume

I likely won't. Reason being, if I want customized, "filtered" searches, Google is where to be. If I want privacy and/or unfiltered searches, I'll use Duck Duck Go and Blekko. If trust becomes an issue with Google, I won't just clear my sea

I would've fallen for that. Thanks for the heads up.

It's horrifying that we need a TL;DR for a modest chunk of text - a mere comment. If our attention spans are that fried, are we any better off than the hypothetical guy trying to fill out a government form? It's a bit like taking someone's

I use PayPal every day, numerous times in a day, but I will jump ship in a nanosecond if PayPal gets a real competitor. Here is my list why PayPal is (a necessary) evil: - The Wikileaks blockade - The internal staff who deal with refunds an

If Duck Duck Go comes out with mail and an online office suite, and it has the same look and feel and the search, I'll abandon Google completely.

Nicely said. I'm did the same. The elephant incedent was more than enough incentive for me never to do business with them again. EDIT: Foxylad, you're the kind of ethical person I would like to work with in the future. Please leave some con

JotForm should have bailed from GoDaddy when most other people did. Instead, they were apathetic and took a chance with their business and all of their clients as well. Damn right it's their fault.

Why didn't you move your domains with everyone else during the SOPA uprising? JotForm sat on their asses and stayed with GoDaddy, now look at them. Stop the song and dance. If you haven't moved your domains already, you probably never will.

84 percent compliance on no forced overtime isn't great, but it gives a guy like me hope that I can own an iPhone 5 without having blood on my hands. The pressure must remain on Apple to put human beings first, before profits. That hasn't h

I'm not going to vote this up. There's a reason I don't watch soap operas and Jerry Springer.

Pick something you love to do. If there is market demand for it, you've validated your idea. Still, there are no guarantees, but it's that easy.

Sounds like you haven't dealt with PayPal before. If that's the case, why bother writing a comment? In my experience, PayPal doesn't like to be accountable and they don't offer explanations for why they take punitive actions (I have specifi

It happened with me as well, but a much smaller amount of $50. After looking into it, the $50 charge was under a mysterious "professional fees" which PayPal refused to explain. I did get my money back after repeated enquiries though. On the

Protecting animals from animal cruelty. Especially elephants,that are brutalized while alive for their tusks. The cruelty is beyond shocking. Anyway, I would try and stop that, via a non profit organization.
