What class action lawsuit? Did you not read about the binding arbitration agreement?

Furthermore, ECU integration isn't that important. If the device has a set of accelerometers and a GPS receiver (which I'm pretty sure they all do), they can know all about how the car's being driven even if it has a carbed engine.
Grow them below the tree canopies where the recon drones can't spot them too easily, and in areas which are hard for the enforcement droids to reach?
Oh so a few engineers will have to be thrown a doggie biscuit (6-digit salary), I guess their plan will never work since you won't be able to overpower their morals with money! That's why the military-industrial complex never took off after all.
You know what is prior art though? The F35, any helicopter with an onboard nightvision system and helmet-integrated display (AH64, RAH66), and every UAV in existence.
The Chinese government HATES it when people measure and publish "unofficial" pollution level readings...you can bet that pollution controls upwind of the US embassy are especially strict.
On a serious note, that could actually be illegal in some places.
Seriously... Al Gore has personally done more damage to the AGW cause then anyone else in the world.
THIS. He massively increased the politicization of the issue and almost single-handedly created the incentive to turn climate denialism in the US from a fringe conspiracy theory to a mainstream belief. I don't think things would be massively different today if he had stayed out of climate issues, but the brakes wouldn't be dragging nearly so hard on the science train. I don't think climate policy would be more contentious than any other environmental policy issue.
I'd say the biggest catastrophes in climate policy are:
1. Al Gore, for contributing massively to the politicization of climate science
2. Disinformation campaigns funded by fossil fuel companies and conservative think-tanks
3. Michael Chrichton's State of Fear, the Book of Revelation for climate denialists.
I went to g2reader and didn't miss a beat.
That's assuming the planes aren't all the same spec, and the probably are (at least at this level since interiors haven't been fitted). They can just reassign planes and only 2 will be delayed.
A lot of wiring insulation these days is made of a soy-based material, critters love to chew on it!
Patent to be purchased by fossil fuel company in 3,2,1...
One participant administered 190 shocks to himself.
Hahaha holy hell, imagine how batshit-crazy that guy is! If that was in a 15-minute period, those shocks were less than 5 seconds apart on average!
"GAHH, THE WAITING! *ZAP* MAKE IT STOP! *ZAP* I CAN'T TAKE IT! *ZAP*"
I probably hate waiting more than anyone else alive today, and I figure I would press that button somewhere between zero and 2 times, depending on how curious I feel about the operation of the button and how much being zapped hurts.
