Koenigsegg has some pneumatic valve technology that is rather promising.

I don't suck!
No, this will just cause companies to hire the rest on as "contractors," which is worse because those people will usually get screwed over on benefits. This is what Exxon Mobil does. They only have about 75,000 employees, but are one of the most profitable companies in the world. Although they do take fairly good care of them... but can you imagine if a company like Walmart did this? Hell, they pretty much already do!
Didn't Google Latitude do this like 5 years ago?
Sorry to break it to you, but people have been modifying their cars in various ways for... oh... about a century. Yes, it might compromise safety and reliability... but doing so is nothing new.

Step 3: Profit!!!
I'd equate retirement more to being self-employed, as you do have financial stability, and probably have a pension or profits from investments. Plus, every single retired person I know either has a side-job or a profitable hobby.
I'm looking forward to 9, as it should follow Microsoft's scheme of only-every-other-version-of-windows-doesn't-suck. As Vista was an obvious catastrophe, and 8 is starting to look the same way, 9 can't possibly be worse... right?
I can tell you why Montana's on the list: there are simply no blacks or hispanics here. As for why women made the list, it's likely because they DGAF, as this is Montana and most of them wanna just work on a ranch, drive a diesel 4x4, and make babies.
Illegal narcotics are made in garages and jungles in unregulated conditions BECAUSE they can't be made legally. One of the main reasons they cause so much harm to people is BECAUSE of these poor manufacturing conditions and how they're cut. We should legalize them simply to allow us to create and distribute them in a safer manner that we can regulate and monitor.
Besides, people die many times more from prescription drug abuse than illegal drug abuse.
And alien races likely avoid us because of or proclivity for violence over diplomacy, greed over innovation, and utter lack of common sense. If anything, legalizing narcotics and spending the money treating addicts instead of just tossing them in jail would make it MORE likely that aliens would see us as sensible motherfuckers and contact us.
So... let's legalize drugs so we can meet some hot green Orion women already!
Am I the only one wondering how in the fuck some random company was able to just make up a charge out of thin air and then destroy her credit over it?
I was looking forward to some good footage of a little robot scooting around a pasture. Instead I got a 6-second clip of a few cows and something zipping around behind them in what appears to be a time-lapse style shot.
What kind of crap journalism is this?
It does. That's the sad part.
It's days like this that I just love the Chrome extension that changes all instances of the word "cloud" to "butt."
Am I the only one wondering what the tag Super Mango Tit means?
