    Maybe from the rotting carcass of its inventor? Because bacteria don't mutate from nothing.

    Funny, I heard this same shit about Linux 20 years ago. I guess we should get ready for Big Pharma Zombie Apocalypses? Hay that sounds like a great idea for a movie and a game.

    Ya, you sure figured this one out fast. So, Walmart is going to allow the NSA to block your use of the IOT to not be able to buy Walmart's body armor, AR15's, and pipes? Is America a great country or WTF?

    And what of the dumb ass engineers at VW who can't figure out how to handle smog emissions while the car is moving? Does one really believe that VW is the place where fools go to work on cars?

    Which stops faster, the drone car or the the drone tractor? But if the drone car occupant isn't noticing the drone tractor in front, then so what. Why can't the drone car occupant enter a command to pass the Tractor? Simple enough to input, and to implement.

    Simple move-mechanics of Drone Cars. The d-car can veer left, it can veer right, or it can stop. Those are already working and well tested, daily. Path-Mechanics, that's straight forward,if its in the way apply the m-mech stated above based on the minimum cost of the who's gonna pay for the damages. Location-Mechanics, that's been built, tested, and is the learning area of first year engineering students. Billboards, and Utility Poles have enough height for object detection data-gathering-transmitting, lets say for a 150mph d-car for l-mech. Maybe, just maybe we ought to start looking into how to genetically splice all this together in that computer box we purchased along the smog generator under the hood? Trade secrets? Ya, dream on on GM, Ford, Fiat, VW, and Toyota. The only secret is where does one open the box; today.

    VW Engineers are either Stupid, or Sinister. VW Engineers will never admit to being stupid, that they just can't make it work. So they screem, "We're evil! And it took you this long to find out! Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha."

    Ya, right.

  15. "...we're seeing many more people start to hold multiple jobs, working whichever one happens to give them something to do at a given time. "

    I have yet to see where Food, Shelter, and Clothing are ever optional, unless one is dead; is that what you're proposing?

    Given stated facts, "hackers got contact information of clients from such 'honest little school girl firms like Goldman Sacks', and then contacted these clients to tell them to buy certain stocks; knowing that these stocks would have a high probability of tanking." When to prices went up, the Bad Guys sold their stocks. This is like a tired Twilight Zone episode. OK boys and girls, Real Estate market?, prices tanking?, 'to big to fail?', it all sounds so familiar. Only no one went to jail then. Why? My heart has no pity for the likes of Goldman Sacks, and those that would call them Friend, or Client. If one defecates with dogs, you're going to get your ass sniffed.

  24. FTFA, She used each printer to create disc-shaped parts, about an inch in diameter. Then she placed the discs in petri dishes with zebrafish embryos and studied survival rates and hatch rates and monitored for developmental abnormalities.

    It doesn't say in TFA, but did the petri dishes have water in them also? That could explain a lot about the fishes survival rates.
