I thought electronically controlled pneumatic valves were old tech (as in almost 20 years old)?
Im surprised they haven't evolved into modern cars yet.
What's the music industry have to do with sales now anyway, they are too busy suing their customers? IT companies with an updated "technology friendly" business model like Apple, Google, Spotify, etc, are who sells music nowadays. They have taken over the record industries distribution and they should decide how to calculate "record" sales.
The Egyptian Pyramids are about 5,000yrs old we still don't know a lot about them, even after we went in there and took almost all the items out. Imaging the mess in 10,000yrs time when mankind opens up these storage containers because they also want to know what's in them?
With all this torrent/download legal crap going on a business model that punishes consumers for wanting to see the latest re-hash of worn out actors and storylines, I'm surprised people even both with movies? The "Movie industry" versus "consumers" is like 2 seagulls fighting over a mouldy chip. Forget the entire industry, get out and learn an instrument, phone a friend, hug your partner, etc.
Welcome to World War 3 - The victims are those exploited in 3rd world countries while the winners are first world countries that are doing the exploiting.
Population growth and reduction (in this case) is NOT the issue. The issue is that economies have been created and will only work based on population (and subsequent sales) growth; this is why immigration is often "used" to keep a countries population growing. As soon as sales reduce the model falls over. A re-think of the way global economies operate is what is needed.
The only logical and truly future proofing of power is a de-centralised power generation model (it doesn't matter if its, solar, wind, etc). But that would mean big power corporations would lose profits, AND that's the underlying problem that needs addressing first.
1. For no reason whatsoever, your car would crash twice a day.
2. Every time they repainted the lines in the road, you would have to buy a new car.
3. Occasionally your car would die on the freeway for no reason. You would have to pull to the side of the road, close all of the windows, shut off the car, restart it, and reopen the windows before you could continue.
For some reason you would simply accept this.
4. Occasionally, executing a maneuver such as a left turn would cause your car to shut down and refuse to restart, in which case you would have to reinstall the engine.
5. Macintosh would make a car that was powered by the sun, was reliable, five times as fast and twice as easy to drive - but would run on only five percent of the roads.
6. The oil, water temperature, and alternator warning lights would all be replaced by a single "This Car Has Performed An Illegal Operation" warning light.
7. The airbag system would ask "Are you sure?" before deploying.
8. Occasionally, for no reason whatsoever, your car would lock you out and refuse to let you in until you simultaneously lifted the door handle, turned the key and grabbed hold of the radio antenna.
9. Every time a new car was introduced car buyers would have to learn how to drive all over again because none of the controls would operate in the same manner as the old car.
10. You'd have to press the "Start" button to turn the engine off."

More parts to break? The current cam train is huge mess of parts. - This is a common excuse to hold on to old tech.

How do we know that rouge scientists (*cough* Government agencies *cough*) arnt already exploiting this technology?

Imagine how many meteorites it took to wipe out the dinosaurs then?

so true
No word on where they will source the "Flux Capacitor" from?
"Millions of dollars in damages" OR "Millions of Rupee in damages"? - equalling about US$9

This happened over 1,400 years ago!!

Perhaps your right? I still think cutting pollution is good thing regardless of the motives.
Could that mean its not cow farts causing global warming?
Meh, this is hardly breaking news. Im sure I saw this done back in the 80's by a Mr Michael Knight.
Devils advocate: What if mankind has found a way to process this waste so its safe before 25,000 years?

Im surprised no one has yet mentioned the Rothchild's or Central bank?

Does Mac O/S do a similar thing?
As soon as the diesel injectors get dirty you can throw all that "clean diesel" argument out the window. And yes, they will get dirty.
Im sure glad nothing like this would ever happen to voting machines
See the Earth is only 4,000yrs old :)
Under proposed TPP laws, smaller environmentally lower impact countries will be able to sue the US for these damages. Ah the irony.
