They're crap. Sorry, let me be more exact, they're shit. They were brought into existence by the retards at the FIA who, with the exception of the WEC is killing motorsports with this green initiative crap and "relevance." The introduction of these new "Power Units" has represented a dramatic increase in cost and as reduced the racing to taxi driving. Shit! the damn races now have "fuel efficiency" ratings pop up on the world feed; WTF has that got to do with F1? Not a fucking thing. The fans hate it, the teams hate it and there's already talk of abandoning it which it should have never been introduced into the sport.
If you're worried about it, solve the problem at the communications layer. Wrap the dongle in such a way that it can't transmit or receive data. "What you're not getting the data? Wow that's strange. I have it plugged in." Either that or find another insurance company that doesn't track you. The fact that you've allowed a device to track you in the first place means that you've exposed yourself to risks, some overt such as your lead footed behavior is know a known quantity and inadvertent in terms of a hacker potentially changing your ECM or some other system in your car. What we need are stronger privacy protection laws as well as some insurance reform that says your rates are based on what you drive, how much you drive and your driving record. Every time you have somebody do an oil change, that information is sold and mined (Carfax etc.) so Insurance companies can verify mileage and tickets/accidents are all a matter of public record. Therefore there's no need for this kind of tech.
now airports will be crowed with people holding their phones up to lights instead of trying to scrounge every available outlet in the place to charge their phones. Imagine everybody with their arms raised.
While they're "printing" concrete I'm wondering how the bonding between layers holds up. This looks like an automated shotcrete system to me which isn't great for ultimate structural integrity at least from what the photos show. They don't show substantial reinforcement in some of the photos in the article I'd be concerned about cracks and delamination between the layers during earthquakes or over time with general changes in temperature and humidity. I don't see how this is revolutionary since laid up concrete walls are being used all over the world in houses, apartments and warehouses worldwide. The guys come out, lay out forms, put in the reinforcement and do a continuous poor. Sure this may save on labor ultimately and the reinforcement could be pre-fabbed as well, so it may ultimately drive down costs.
to be sure it'll hurt Americans but what has to happen is the alignment of corporate taxation to the rest of the world and to reduce the incentives of companies that outsource jobs. For example, the an Executive Action could be "The US government will stop dealing with companies who use H1B VISAs to fill positions that could be done by Americans." Or. "The US Government will not source services or products from any company that has more than 10% of its workforce offshore." better yet. "The US has immigration laws. Follow them or be deported."
Uh, well technology and the fact that Oil has been highly profitable have created more incentives to extract resources from less abundant and traditional sources. What does need to happen is that subsidies for the Oil/Gas industry need to be eliminated and they need to play by the same rules as any other company with respects to land use, reclamation and pollution. The Oil/Gas industry shouldn't however be targeted because it's not "ECO Friendly" with punitive regulations because as far as I can see, oil and natural gas will be necessary for a long time in this country.
"Imaging printer technologist" that can charge me $1000/hr to generate 3d models of my tumors.. I don't think most doctors or hospitals will let you DIY.
Why? Patents are a tangible asset. Specifically Apple didn't inherit the patent, they acquired a company that was in the process of obtaining a patent.

Another chance to block the installation of McAfee Security Scan Plus. Will someone please rid me of this nuisance crapware?!?
1Gbps and 10Gbps SFP+ cards are cheap. Upgrade Now!
I'm thinking more along the lines of a Paul II with Seth Rogen playing a Klingon or something.
A fence scene, you know where he either jumps over a fence or through one. Should be classic!
I've been gypped with Beyond Earth.. It's definitely crap at this point. Sorry Sid, the magic is gone.
Shit for brains.

At least in the US most of them have enough credits that they don't actually pay a high percentage in taxes anyway.

wouldn't that be Methane? Besides it is a segwayinto the new EPA rules for Oil and Gas producers so Chili will have to be included in the category.
who watches the watchers?
Sorry, Hector spilled the floor cleaner again. He won't let it happen again.

Yeah they don't allow it but it doesn't say they won't do it to you. It's a case of hypocrisy so just don't use CNET or Download.com.

obviously none they are willing to share.
Ask how it went in LA. Also, does it bother anybody that "Khan Academy" popped up again?
