Exactly, what will happen is that cars will still need a basic insurance of the car, and when 2 automatic cars have an accident, both insurance companies will have to take on the cost of repairing "their" car.

The benefits will almost conclusively be worth it as this will be a lessening of accidents across the board.

This is marketspeek at its worst.

If someone starts to speak from a company, and has a label C*O then it's time to take any such crap and throw it into the trash. Comments like these shouldn't even be taken with a 40'-container-sized grain of salt, just throw it into the trash.

No no, not fail.. they're just marketing it _exactly_ as it should be... the offspring of prostitution and cash.

Why did you post your crap reply to this thread? I'm not saying that you don't have the right to an opinion on anything posted on slashdot, but your replies are totally irrelevant and boring.

There's nothing special about your reply. It's a dumb comment, just like every other comment out there on slashdot. People have modded you up, and many of these "hacks" like you have nothing remotely interesting to say, even to us on slashdot who enjoy such "hacks" from time to time.

Can we please have some interesting replies here for once? Something not having to do with idiotic stances on what should or should not be posted on slashdot perhaps? Maybe something concerning the article itself in some way?

You do realize that each state is as big as any country in europe? Do the countries in europe all pay to fund research to a single governing body, or do they decide themselves what to do with it?

I think Ron Paul is on to something. A lot of the things that the senate of the united states is doing it doesn't need to be doing. Ron paul is more about letting the states do the stuff, I just wish he'd make it more pronounced that he's not just interested in tearing things down just to be teared down.

It would be very good if this irongrip of the "united states" would be freed so the states could be more free in doing what they want to do.

When/if the efficiency of this goes beyond muscular power.. will we then power our segways with this? "Up" is closer then it seemed...

I would be fine with just one fix.. If you full-screen a video in a playlist that's playing automatically, make all the rest also auto-full-screen when they start.

Really annoys me when I have to stand up and fullscreen playlist videos..

Anyone know the function or formula used to calculate pi in this manner?

Follow these instructions right now, don't read further then the step you've taken:

1) Find a coin

2) Decide what heads and tails will be

3) Flip the coin.

4) look at the result as the final result.

5) Are you happy with that result? If answer is yes, that's your decision. If answer is no, then pick the other option.

They forgot to mention that their youngest daughter was hearing voices in the static she could talk to.

It's pretty simple, they need you to obey orders even though you hate the guy giving the orders, and even though you hate the orders.

Boot Camp is trying to emulate the worst case scenario when you're in the middle of combat, i.e. do the order that you're given, even though you don't really want to be there, you don't really want to kill some guy you don't know, and you think the officer is a dick.

Did facebook actually trademark "Timeline"?

If we'd just be content with the status quo, we'd still be using quite a lot of these ideas: http://www.toptenz.net/top-10-most-famous-scientific-theories-that-turned-out-to-be-wrong.php

It's one thing to complain that it's a hassle to change into a newer format, it's quite another to complain about progress.

Besides, if you really think it's _that_easy_ to create a data format that stands the test of time, go ahead: Make your own.

I would think that any judge would throw out a case against this because the developers are in Dolittle mode, i.e. willing to change it. wanting to change it. waiting to change it.

You grow new tastebuds replacing the whole batch every 2 weeks, so I guess if that friend would stop eating spicy food for 2 weeks you could test whether this is a problem with the tastebuds, or just a conditioned appetite from overuse.
