Submission + - World's first 3D printed racing car can pace at 140 km/h (techtripper.com)

An anonymous reader writes: A group of 16 engineers named “Group T” have unveiled a racing car “Areion”. The group is competing in Formula Student 2012 challenge, and the car they have unveiled is world’s first 3D printed race car. The Areion is not wholly 3D printed but most of it actually is. It was tested on Hockenheim race circuit and went from zero to 100km/h in just four seconds. Maximum speed Areion achieved on the same circuit was 141km/h. The car is eco-friendly as well as a motivation for innovative fields of technology. Cutting-edge technologies integrated into their environmentally friendly race car included an electric drive train, bio-composite materials and 3D printing on a big scale with Materialise.

Developers don't choose when to release software, it's management. Think you need to do more testing but management thinks it looks ready? It's out the door and you cant do anything to stop them. Testing is just as important as coding and the developers dont do all the testing, it's usually outsourced.

Bottom line: if a company doesn't do it's due diligence then yes, they should be responsible for putting out bad software.

Google's filing (PDF) affirmed that they have not paid media for articles or done any quid pro quo in exchange for coverage. However, they acknowledged that many people receive money from Google through other means (the company's philanthropy, ad business, etc.), and asked the judge if he wanted further details about those instances.

stupid Google, dont you know that as a corporation you are supposed to deny and impede any attempt to get information about what you've done and tie it up in court for years? just look at Oracle, they deny everything until the bitter end and fight tooth and nail to budge an inch on any information at all. i mean, volunteering information? for shame!

this "don't be evil" stuff is really getting in the way of becoming a well adjusted sociopathic corporation.

It's been gradual but i think we can say it's official that The Big Apple has become The Big Fuck You.

You have obscene pricing, crooked cops, they completely ignoring everything bad going down on Wall Street (and their major cocaine habit), they are a nanny city telling you that you cant have a large soda and now they are going Big Brother on everyone (that isn't part of the government).

Corporations really dont give a damn about what people do so long as they keep getting money from them. However, governments are just itching to break out the swat team for a double parked car.

I think it's time to blow the bridges and drag it out to sea with all the vermin on it.
