Programming a race car to drive a perfectly mapped track is brain dead easy for even a 2nd year CS student.

Let cattle roam the track randomly, and the car drives at racing speed avoiding cows, goats, etc randomly darting in front of the car, then I'll be impressed.

"Imagine a wage worker making $20/hr produces the factory sensor part, at a rate of 100 per hour through the operation of a machine."

Will never happen. Reality is very different...

Imagine a wage worker making $8/hr produces the factory sensor part, at a rate of 100 per hour through the operation of a machine.

Executives do NOT want to pay living wages. It will be an $8 an hour job or outsourced to China where they pay $3.25 an hour.

magnets in the lanes will also solve a LOT of the problems. It would take minimal cost do retrofit and significantly help ALL cars as lane departure would be trivial, etc...

The difference between a sacrificial altar and a butcher shop / BBQ joint is the words people say when they're there, and the article says that culture didn't have writing. If the person in charge asks the customers what favors they want from the gods, it's a temple; if they ask whether you want regular or extra crispy, it's a BBQ joint, and in some cultures they're going to thank the gods for the life of the animal even if it's a BBQ joint. In a temple, it's more likely that some parts of the animal will get burned instead of eaten, and in a BBQ joint, it's more likely that there'll be spices on the meat, and maybe priests get paid a bigger share than a butcher and cook, but none of those are universal across known cultures.

Also, the article says it was a two-story building; just because it's underground millennia later doesn't mean it was underground at the time.

The game is still a steaming pile of crap, I still warn people away from it and anything else that comes from that franchise ever again.

My Garmin Nuvi GPS no longer gets traffic data, and can't use a few other 2-way features like Google Search, because the 2G wireless network it used will be going away early next year, and the carrier's no longer renewing contracts for them. So it's back to being a dumb GPS, with maps and built-in data points, but no live search.

Carriers really want to reallocate their 2G spectrum to 4G or at least 3G, because it lets them get more calls and a lot more data in the same amount of bandwidth, and because the movement of users to newer standards means that their remaining 2G bands are very underused.

So it's time to go all ape-shit like we have in the USA and have military in the streets? Our cops are driving assault vehicles, carrying M16 machine guns and waterboarding people for jay-walking.

I though canadians were level headed people.

Dont let your idiots in parliment go all panic mode like the Raving Morons we have running this place in Washington DC.

This was a rare incident by a insane person, nothing more. Put more money into public mental health.

It's the fault of the administrators to begin with. I am friends with one of the technical advisors for the midwest EOC and the problem is that the administrators dont know their ass from a hole in the ground and ignore their tech guys and listen to the vendors.

He has been screaming for all call centers to have analog failover, but the administrators refuse to hear it.

So who is to blame for the failures? That top moron of Homeland security. IT would have been in place if he would realize that he is not an expert and to actually LISTEN to the experts in the field.

Force the CableTV companies and telcos to run Fiber and then fix the last mile mess.

Dammit, these companies are making record profits. They can get off their asses and run fiber and fix the last mile Bullshit.

Anyway, I have better uses of my time than to waste another minute with you.
