They're crap. Sorry, let me be more exact, they're shit. They were brought into existence by the retards at the FIA who, with the exception of the WEC is killing motorsports with this green initiative crap and "relevance." The introduction of these new "Power Units" has represented a dramatic increase in cost and as reduced the racing to taxi driving. Shit! the damn races now have "fuel efficiency" ratings pop up on the world feed; WTF has that got to do with F1? Not a fucking thing. The fans hate it, the teams hate it and there's already talk of abandoning it which it should have never been introduced into the sport.

Another chance to block the installation of McAfee Security Scan Plus. Will someone please rid me of this nuisance crapware?!?

1Gbps and 10Gbps SFP+ cards are cheap. Upgrade Now!

I'm thinking more along the lines of a Paul II with Seth Rogen playing a Klingon or something.

A fence scene, you know where he either jumps over a fence or through one. Should be classic!

But "Ghosts of Mars" killed it for you.

I've been gypped with Beyond Earth.. It's definitely crap at this point. Sorry Sid, the magic is gone.

Shit for brains.

If you're worried about it, solve the problem at the communications layer. Wrap the dongle in such a way that it can't transmit or receive data. "What you're not getting the data? Wow that's strange. I have it plugged in." Either that or find another insurance company that doesn't track you. The fact that you've allowed a device to track you in the first place means that you've exposed yourself to risks, some overt such as your lead footed behavior is know a known quantity and inadvertent in terms of a hacker potentially changing your ECM or some other system in your car. What we need are stronger privacy protection laws as well as some insurance reform that says your rates are based on what you drive, how much you drive and your driving record. Every time you have somebody do an oil change, that information is sold and mined (Carfax etc.) so Insurance companies can verify mileage and tickets/accidents are all a matter of public record. Therefore there's no need for this kind of tech.

now airports will be crowed with people holding their phones up to lights instead of trying to scrounge every available outlet in the place to charge their phones. Imagine everybody with their arms raised.

While they're "printing" concrete I'm wondering how the bonding between layers holds up. This looks like an automated shotcrete system to me which isn't great for ultimate structural integrity at least from what the photos show. They don't show substantial reinforcement in some of the photos in the article I'd be concerned about cracks and delamination between the layers during earthquakes or over time with general changes in temperature and humidity. I don't see how this is revolutionary since laid up concrete walls are being used all over the world in houses, apartments and warehouses worldwide. The guys come out, lay out forms, put in the reinforcement and do a continuous poor. Sure this may save on labor ultimately and the reinforcement could be pre-fabbed as well, so it may ultimately drive down costs.

Glassholes.

VPN to some endpoint outside of VZ's network.

The Computer Museum?

At least in the US most of them have enough credits that they don't actually pay a high percentage in taxes anyway.
