Why is this being developed? If saving lives were the issue, we could start on that with simple driver training. Germany requires a week of driver ed. in order to get a license, and although they have many roadways without a speed limit, they have half the rate of fatalities that the US does.
It does not seem believable to me that an IT staff with any level of experience or knowledge would not google 'computer model' +winxp, which is the sum total of effort that should be required.
I grew up near Alfred University, not far from Corning, NY. In addition to such things as space shuttle tiles and coal slurry, researchers there developed a glass with these exact properties, and tried to license it to Heinz. Much to their dismay, Heinz turned it down, as they were just about to launch an ad campaign demonstrating the superior quality of their high viscosity ketchup compared to cheaper brands, which could be poured from the bottle without smacking it.
For once I have to agree with the Ayatollah. I was trying to get from the Gulf of Oman to my golf game in Kuwait, and Google Maps took me around the Cape of Good Hope. I barely had time to grab a cocktail before teeing off.
I wish Max the best of luck with his venture, but when the best and brightest of you consider where to relocate, I think my plan to retrofit a fleet of mothballed B-52s into an airborne coding platform will win out. We'll fly in and out of Moffett Field for maintenance stops and onworld meetings. The planes will refuel in Berkeley with fair trade bio-kerosene. Unemployed Hooters Air flight staff will offer network support, Blue Bottle coffee, and reasonably priced food items.
Oh my. Quaking in my boots over here. Holy mother of Jesus where's my martini? I'm being threatened by a Windows 7 power user. Please Hammer don't hurt me.
Are you kidding me? A marketing company selling "online backup" on the Rush Limbaugh show? This is slashdot worthy? Stay tuned for a metallurgical analysis of the QVC ninja swords...
I have two broken display Thinkpads with duocore cpu's. You can get these for cheap on craigslist or perhaps free from your friendly IT department. Laptops are ideal because they have greatly reduced power consumption compared to desktops, and have built-in battery backup. Set them up with your preferred linux distro and either eucalyptus or openstack, and bam! you have your own private cloud. Eucalyptus can run EC2 machine images if that's what you're lab testing. Plus, even with typical 5 year old laptops, you'll have more compute power than four basic EC2 instances.
There is nothing in the article that indicates a technological advancement over internal combustion engineering of the 1920's. Furthermore, compression ratios are not a limitation of a single piston engine design. Compression ratios for a gasoline engine are dictated by the quality of fuel likely to be available.
I hereby award myself the title of Cyber Security Analyst. Henceforth, I shall make irrelevant pronouncements which include the latest in buzzword technology and cultural references designed to stoke xenophobia. I shall predict everything, and in a few years' time, quote only those predictions which came true.

Interesting theories. Please find enclosed my subscription to your newsletter. However, a competing notion asserts that the very name of the lightsaber refers not to its brightness, but to its weight. According to wookiepedia:
"Due to the weightlessness of plasma and the strong gyroscopic effect generated by it, lightsabers required a great deal of strength and dexterity to wield..."

Likewise, tattoo removal is a booming business.
When I think Windows, I just think "awesome."
Don't give Texas away. Sell it to Mexico.

Microsoft. We're the box you can think in.
And thus was paved the road from the Cloud back to Earth.

If I can't get hired at Foxconn I guess I'll have to go work at Soylent.

Leo Laporte, Rush Limbaugh, what's the difference? Technology for grandparents.

The business plan that caused the previous CEO to be fired has been rejected by the incoming CEO. I'm shocked, SHOCKED I tell you.
I'm pretty sure XP stands for Xtra Proprietary.
This poor guy was indeed robbed. The theft occurred when the $3800 was handed over.

You could have spent that time listening to Rebecca Black's new tune or teasing a cat with a laser pointer. 5 minutes you'll never get back.

Of course. TFA might as well argue that the Golden Gate Bridge is such a terrible bridge that people crossing it commit suicide.
