I think you fit the profile that Nissan was pursuing. Your commute isn't too far and you own another car for the longer trips.

I can't see anyone buying a Nissan Leaf as their only car. The range is a big inconvenience.

I am curious to see how the battery will handle the cold winters in the long term.

I've experienced the same issues. Some sites, like Udacity, is borderline broken for me. I applaud the effort to move off the Adobe plugin, but it's important to remember that to the end user, we just really care about how well it works. In the meantime, I've gone back to using Firefox.

I haven't tried AeroFS yet but this new feature is giving me the push to try it now. Being in control of my data and my costs is something I was looking for.

Something is bugging me though, what is AeroFS' long term viability if they don't charge for their services?

If that day were to come, as a hacker, how do you turn down a chance to work with a well-funded customer that want you to build a evacuated tunnel train, but on the other hand, this is essentially blood money. A passion vs moral dilemma...

I'd be interested in knowing how they were able to buy Boeing 747s. Those are huge transactions, you can't simply buy planes with cash.

I would assume that it would be through shell companies, but wouldn't (or shouldn't) Boeing be careful about who their customers are?

Can anyone explain the following bit: "They’re cleanly partitioned into 20 million data separate data sets, one per user."

Does it mean they have a database per user? That can't be right is it?

I was too young at the time to be aware of this blackout, but I am grateful to the ones that protested this bill. The internet would not have been the same if people are scared to express their ideas/opinions/arts.

I wonder about the world we would be in if the bill had passed as it was presented.
