You are totally missing the point of speed limits first of all. They aren't there for any reason having to do with fuel economy or "best cruise speed" for your car. It's all about the upper limit of safe speed in average cars during marginal weather. Slower speeds are ALWAYS better for all cars in terms of safety! I also highly doubt your claim of 95mph being the most efficient in mpg. The wind drag is exponentially increasing as your speed increases, so you should be getting worse and worse mpg as you go faster and faster. In other words, if the speed is constant and your not braking and accelerating over and over again like in a city, you'll get the best mpg the slower you go. Your idea of different speed limits on different types of cars is also a bit far fetched. Everyone going the same speed is much easier to manage.

You are being paranoid for no reason! Cops aren't going to look at your phone GPS to convict you, especially when they can just plant weed in your buttcrack and throw you in jail.

Will stand alone GPS be killed? Of course not! The military and civil navigation systems use it in stand alone settings and they will continue to do so. GPS can't disappear and the only valid question here is "Would Garmin or TomTom go out of business because of google or android?". The answer is still no because they won't die, and if they do it's not because of google or android alone.

I'm not seeing an obvious benefit to China in doing this. Is there one, or is China just being really generous?

It doesn't follow a cautionary-tale formula, that is merely one of the many points that the book is following. I found it very refreshing and thought provoking rather than "tired". Also, these are big robots that researchers are using when compared to the nano sized particles that "Prey" used.

I'm sorry but how does "3d has nothing to do with it" mean anything. The title of the story is that it is in 3d, so I'd say it's pretty relevant no matter how you cut it.

This is a grainy 2D film, not a high res 3D film!

You're very far off on this assessment. What Lenski has done was very significant to the scientific community and to creationists alike.

Quite coincidentally, I was just reading Dawkins' new book in which this very experiment was explained in some detail. This is pretty amazing for proving evolution by natural selection as a process involved in life all around us. Creationist history-deniers are pretty foolish if they actually deny the process of evolution as a fact of life, for it is scientific fact at this point. What could be debated is the origin of life, or maybe different processes by which evolution occurs, but no argument can be made that evolution doesn't actually happen.

You could also avoid getting in a deadly crash by using the city's free buses to get to the bank, instead of driving your Jeep. My hole-filled analogy to online banking is that you don't necessarily need to drop the entire operating system in order to be safe while banking online. There must be a ton of idioms that support me on this.

I give this 5 years before we start turning appliances on with our minds. MMM I want some coffee = BAM coffee starts being made!

This is NOT unbelievable... This program is novel, but has pretty unimpressive results honestly. Most of these photo's there coming up with are decent, but they don't look real.

I am not following you. Mobile browsers like opera should be following the same standards as all of the other browsers right? Don't the common web standards require html5 compatibility?
