Just a guess from looking at the interior shots, but this is a track-day car and isn't for daily commutes. It has that spartan low-weight-is-everything look to it. I doubt gas mileage will be of concern to owners.
Death does NOT solve any problems -- it just merely DELAYS them. You can't run away from yourself -- sooner or later you WILL be forced to confront yourself. The ONLY fallacy in suicide is the incorrect thinking that somehow you avoided a problem.
I take it you believe in an afterlife then? From the atheist viewpoint, death solves all problems for the person who commits suicide. Sure does leave a big mess for friends and family of the departed though.
It's also the idiots implementing these systems. One of our international offices moved sites over the Xmas break. The contractor installing the HVAC controller at the new site wants me to open up the firewall so any public IP can access the device on port 80. Apparently it's safe because "...it's running Linux". *sigh*
Foster and Mac have pulled a man over for speeding and are deciding what game to play] Mac: All right, how about "Cat Game?" Foster: Cat Game? What's the record? Mac: Thorny did six, but I think you can do ten. Foster: Ten? Starting right 'meow?' [Mac laughs - they walk up to the car, and Foster taps on the driver side] Larry Johnson: Sorry about the... Foster: All right meow. (1) Hand over your license and registration. [the man hands him his license] Foster: Your registration? Hurry up meow. (2) [Mac ticks off two fingers] Larry Johnson: Sorry. [the man laughs a little] Foster: Is there something funny here boy? Larry Johnson: Oh, no. Foster: Then why you laughing, Mister... Larry Johnson? [pause] Foster: All right meow, (3) where were we? Larry Johnson: Excuse me, are you saying meow? Foster: Am I saying meow? [Mac puts his hands up for the fourth one, but makes an "eehhh" facial expression, as he is considering the last one] Larry Johnson: I thought... Foster: Don't think boy. Meow, (4) do you know how fast you were going? [man laughs] Foster: Meow. (5) What is so damn funny? Larry Johnson: I could have sworn you said meow. Foster: Do I look like a cat to you, boy? Am I jumpin' around all nimbly bimbly from tree to tree? [Mac is gut-busting laughing] Foster: Am I drinking milk from a saucer? [feigned anger] Foster: Do you see me eating mice? Foster: [Mac and the man are laughing their heads off now] You stop laughing right meow! (6) Larry Johnson: [the man stops and swallows hard] Yes sir. Foster: Meow, (7) I'm gonna have to give you a ticket on this one. No buts meow. (8) It's the law. [rips off the ticket and hands it to the man] Foster: Not so funny meow, (9) is it? Foster: [Foster gets up to leave, but Mac shakes his hands at him, indicating only nine meows] Meow! (10)
All right... all right... but apart from lead-laced wine, better sanitation and medicine and education and irrigation and public health and roads and a freshwater system and baths and public order... what have the Romans done for us?
If my 7 year old daughter would ask me what 'blow-job' means Ill tell her. (oh and ask where she got that word from) It is called "education"... Suck. It. Up.
+1 I think some of Iain M Banks' books would make great movies, but I don't want the way I visualise the characters and settings ruined by some Hollywod hack. Seeing Will Smith every time I think of Jernau Gurgeh? No thanks.
What is the overall culture like? It seems like you are doing things pretty well already, and if there's a good culture, then perhaps you just have some deadwood. Start talking with them and give them a chance to up their game. Ultimately, if they don't want to work and you've tried to help them, then get rid of them.
Another option is custom in-ear monitors. I wear JH Audio IEMs at work (open plan office, grrr) and play mp3s that are a mix of white noise/surf/rain. They work so well I had to get a desk phone that flashes a light when it rings. As a bonus, if you want to listen to music they have superb sound. http://www.jhaudio.com/

And how do you make one dimensional graphene fibres?

Do you have any figures on satellite losses after IV&V was stopped?
:-)
All this secret agent man bullshit is giving me a swelling itching brain, and makes me want to clockout.
I still wonder what the joke was for that punchline, "Now we can all get some sleep"

I often wonder if people who espouse this existential nihilistic viewpoint are just depressed

A helmet will prevent skull fractures, but it won't prevent your brain sloshing up against the inside of your skull due to rapid changes in velocity.

Smart people do not make broad generalizations that are misleading and mostly incorrect.
Thanks for confirming that you're a complete moron.
That sounds like a fairly broad generalisation to me - by your own standards, you're not smart, or were you being ironic?

The Dust Removal Tool, or DRT (yes, the rover's cleaning instrument is called "dirt")
So what would you rather it be called, smartarse?>
Smartarse? Semi Movable Articulated Remote Terrain And Resource Sampling Extension?
All right... all right... but apart from lead-laced wine, better sanitation and medicine and education and irrigation and public health and roads and a freshwater system and baths and public order... what have the Romans done for us?
I think " Following proclamations from the National Rifle Association..." explains it a little?
Don't knock it till you've tried it...
Cool, TA was a kick-ass game. Thanks for the heads-up

I'd probably be more circumspect than that.
Some of us /.ers live in New Zealand, you insensitive clod!
It's a witch!
Karma's a witch? Nasty lisp you have there.
It looks like you're masturbating. Would you like help?
