It will take more than a decade to overwhelm the automated highways. See, traffic grows at low single digit rates while automation increases capacity by a multiple. In that time tunneling technology will improve, bringing down the cost. Freeways will become double deck or more. Color me not alarmed. When shooting the bird, aim at the bird, not the bushes all around you. Oh, and please don't shoot the bluebird.
What's actually going to happen is automated roads. It's inevitable. You enter the road and your autopilot takes over, running all traffic without stop and go, bumper to bumper, at the highest speed practical for the response characterics and safety margins of the vehicles. Like a train. No autopilot, no drive on road (you can take the back roads). This will increase throughput under load by a multiple.
Something in law about minority shareholder rights...
And Google also isn't allowed to destroy Uber's value just to buy out the minority shareholders for cheap. Never mind that Microsoft/Elop did exactly that to Nokia. But that was evil, this is... oh, hmm...
Because Red Hat idiotically canned its desktop distribution many years ago, deciding to go with just the lucractive server business. Overlooking the fact that Linux admins tend to use Linux desktops, and when they get in a position to influence server specs, they will go with the OS they know, that is, Ubuntu. Ah well, it's better that way, Red Hat flavors of Linux have always been a bit crappy. I mean, not unusuably crappy, just a bit crappy. No apt-get for starters, Yum is ok as far as it goes, but apt is just way nicer to use, and fix if things break.
It would be stupid to keep the spares running, that comes right off their life. Maybe just spin them up once a month. What I don't see mentioned is the falling cost of drives... failed drives are normally replaced by newer, higher capacity drives, or they should be. IOW, they should plug in spares over time with planned maintainance instead of dumbly overprovisioning those things permanently.
It's actually been pathetically far behind every other first world country for about ten years. Germany got the memo around 2000 and had things pretty much straightened out by 2002, pulling from way behind US (can you spell ISDN) to way ahead (competitive dial up market with affordable monthlys).
The US has had the most pathetic deal for internet access of any major industrial for ages. Telco monopoly, compliant regulators and general apathetic cluelessness about what is best for the common good.
The commonly accepted definition of "a PC" is "able to run Windows." Hence the MAC vs PC commercials. Are you really that stupid. Yes you are. I bet you are wearing your woolen M$ underwear right now.
You are intenionally being dense. Or you are really dense. I guess both: you are acting especially dense because you are actually pretty dense at the best of times and your only superpower is acting dense so you wallow in it.
Let Wikipedia explain it to you, apparently the one person who does not know:
Once again, I said PCs, not Chromeboxes. Well, I understand by the prevarication that is going on thick and fast that you do indeed know that Microsoft is still a flagrant lawbreaker. Firmed up my opiinion on that.

Like the old quadrajet carburetors, efficiency drops quite a bit when the high-perfomance side kicks in.
Not necessarily. Efficiency can actually increase If the high power cores are able to bring the whole system to a low power state sooner.
More to the point, this gets us one step closer to true gillyweed

If.
Sorry, what did they learn again?

Blatant conflict of interest with Uber's minority shareholders. Watching Google tapdance around this one will be loads of fun.
Linux cannot into touchscreens, which is amusing considering Android handles it easily.
Nonsense, check out how KDE 5 handles it

Thunderbolt is dead in the water. Nobody knows what problem it solves.
Besides having one "killer" feature (for now) VirtuatBox has one "suidical" feature: being involved with Oracle in any way.
By definition you are an idiot. Scurry back to your desk, Microsoft deserves more like you.

Good, now show us one for sale like that. Oh you can't?

Asshole.
I said "able to run Windows" asshole.

Let Wikipedia explain it to you, apparently the one person who does not know:
"PC" is an initialism for "personal computer". However, it is used in a different sense: It means a personal computers with an Intel x86-compatible processor running Microsoft Windows (sometimes called Wintel)
Or let Microsoft play word games like you with a federal judge, and see how that works out.
No. Duh.
If a Chromebook is a PC then show me one running Windows.
Once again, I said PCs, not Chromeboxes. Well, I understand by the prevarication that is going on thick and fast that you do indeed know that Microsoft is still a flagrant lawbreaker. Firmed up my opiinion on that.
Sorry, you didn't show me PCs running non-Windows, you showed me Chromeboxes. Are you dense?
BTW, I only see PCs on Dell's front page. So much for believing a Microsoft apologist.
