Don't forget roads with variable speed limits and electronic speed signs. They should invest in up-to-the-minute over-the-air GPS map updates!

There's also temporary limits imposed by road works.

If the conditions are so bad you can't read road signs, you shouldn't be driving.

GPS is not the answer.

So for multi-national companies, the largest % should always be Chinese, followed by Indian?

It all makes sense now, Chinese manufacturing and Indian call centres...

What are you talking about!?!?

You should architecting your software and planning your development teams based on the gender of the programmers, so female programmers can integrate with other female programmers without a male programmer getting in their way.

That's how you write robust software.

Wait a minute...

I see all these articles about gender bias in the IT industry.
Then I scroll down to the comment section on the slashdot mobile site and think "yes, that character in the Game of War app has really big boobs"

Dr Walter Bishop has a new job in Sleepy Hollow

It's your room service order. One less minimum wage employee be rude to your customers. I've also never been in a hotel where there is an elevator to every room.

Don't worry, the new design will add a tip jar.

Without the automatic garage door opening, a human would have to open it.
Same goes for electric gates as well.

I have a robot in my kitchen that washes dishes and one in the laundry that washes clothes.

It attenuates the shock wave from an nearby explosion. There is no force involved. It absorbs the energy of the shock wave. That's the thing that turns your internal organs in to liquid. Suspiciously useful in combat. Like when you're driving down the road and an IED goes off. The vehicle armor stops most of the shrapnel but your people inside are dead anyway. If the armor doesn't have to be hit with the shock wave first, before being hit by shrapnel, it has a better chance of stopping it too.

Like an R2 unit?

Except the aren't creating a shock wave to counter the incoming wave. They're changing the density, pressure or composition of the medium (air or water) the shock wave is going to pass through, attenuating it.

Have a read of the summary in the patent.

Countering a shock wave with a generated one would be horribly complex. You'd need to measure the wave first or risk amplifying it further. You'd need to generate it at in the exact same time and place you want to counter it, or your own shock wave is going to hit you with the same force as the one you're trying to stop. A tiny error in timing will see twice the damage inflicted on yourself - like the current humidity, air temperature and pressure - all things that contribute to the velocity of the shock wave.

I'd assume you don't need stealth technology when you're at the point of deflecting enemy fire. They obviously already know where you are.

Complex software should be banned! Like the stuff that flies all the commercial aeroplanes and runs the nuclear reactors.

Perhaps the $1 goes in to the "customer got raped and is trying to sue us" insurance fund.

Your rooms get underfloor heating and TV as well.
Our prisons have better living conditions than some peoples houses.
