Let's see how fast any of these cars make it up pike's peak. Apparently you have never heard of gearing.

The cars will never be able to handle heavy rain, snow, hail, sleet, fog and freezing rain. That is a lot of days you won't be getting to work.

Oh the tragedy! A few days off!!!

We'd be happy to get our own government to do anything - well anything useful.

I figure this Amazon Dash is why they are pushing drones so hard. Imagine a future where everything we need is delivered straight to our homes as we need them.

The only real protection is to use different passwords for every service you care about.

In addition to all that, both machines have to be essentially idle, so the heat differences can even be noticed.

Every electronic space/reverb algorithm I've heard just adds distortion and makes the original sound worse. I prefer to hear just the original instruments in as pristine quality as possible as if we were in an infinite volume room.

It seems to me that the 3d audio in every single fps (first person shooter) has been just fine for 20 years. I suppose having a standard is good though.

I would bet the high percentage of fraud is because not many people are even using the system for legitimate purposes. Why mess with my phone when a credit card works fine?
