Yeah, good luck with that. So far, it looks like it's going to be W.'s third term, in practice. But with more racism, xenophobia, and general gloom.

Do tell. What do you think about paying the salary of FBI agents who interfere in presidential elections?

Do you have a reference for that? I've heard various things about the 615, one of which was that it wasn't ever a real project.

If we limit our perspective to the duration of Jobs's lifetime, the Apple I, II, III, and the entire Macintosh line never required a tithe to Apple for releasing software. (You can argue about the cost of developer tools / the dev

Speaking as a progressive, you shouldn't buy into Republican framing here. Republicans are adamant about changing, misinterpreting or ignoring the constitution when it suits them.

That's not true. Other automakers existed before Ford; he had automotive competition. In what world is a Jaguar a "medium" end car? The high end Jaguars extend into Maserati territory. If Tesla wants to be better than a Maser

You may wish to search for "Dieselgate" on the web, to better familiarize yourself with this case. The German government is actually investigating the ex-VW Germany CEO, although I don't know if that means potential jail time
