  • On further inspection, it was found that the mathematician had assumed an ideal sphere of constant radius, while the real object was in fact oblate. The mathematician had neglected to take any measurements, leading to an incorrect value. The physicist’s answer was correct, but only at sea level at nominal temperature.

    The engineer is currently using calipers to measure the diameter of the object at many different angles in order to build a CAD model. He said we could expect results next year.







  • Care to tell me where that gullible userbase is coming from?

    They’re not all gullible. A lot of VC types are obsessive gamblers, they’ll throw money at anything that sounds like it might have a high return.

    Pray, tell - what do they come for?

    That’s where the marketing comes in. Elon is pretty good at selling these big ideas, making them sound futuristic and world-changing. He not only sells those ideas to VCs, but also to the government. A lot of his businesses have pulled in substantial government contract money. The public rarely gets any return from those tax dollars.




  • Hmm…

    A Celeron quad core? Two GB of RAM?! 32GB hard drive? a 1.0MP camera?!

    FOR $1300?! US dollars?

    WOW! is right, as in “Wow, what a racket”.

    This is a joke, right? This is a joke product. These hardware specs were laughable in 2010. This system would’ve struggled to run XP SP3. Did they pull these computers from the dead husk of Circuit City? Where did they even find a 1.0MP camera module at?

    If that’s not a joke it’s highway robbery. For that kind of money it better stop bullets, fold my laundry, and make coffee before I ask for it.

    This computer isn’t worth $130. In fact it’s not worth $13. They should be paying people to take this hardware from them, for scrap.
