Dude you are my hero.

I look forward to the day that I can sit in my car with my friends, smoking something, watching a movie, and letting the self driving vehicle wander around LA while we look for interesting places to stop and explore.

I would never use my couch again.

Edit: If tesla begins making showers I may not even need an apartment.

"I think the real question is whether this Tesla's daily driver will be Vim or Emacs…"

Apparently we have long passed the era when making coffee was something novel for Emacs. Now is the time for

  M-x drive

I can't tell if the pull quotes are satire or not. "With Gentoo, my 5s 0-60 is so much faster than your 5s 0-60." Combined with the stated 3 day compile time, I'm thinking yes? Maybe?

It's satire.

"All those USE flags, CFLAGS, and optimizations are going to add speed to my car. My 5 second 0-60 will be faster than your 5 second 0-60!"

I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as Gentoo, is in fact, GNU/Gentoo, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Gentoo. Gentoo is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Gentoo”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Gentoo, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Gentoo is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Gentoo is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Gentoo added, or GNU/Gentoo. All the so-called “Gentoo” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Gentoo.
