A magnitude 7.1 earthquake struck the PI a few weeks ago which cause widespread damage to buildings and infrastructure. Bridges collapsed and many roads are still impassible. The earthquake and hundreds of strong aftershocks serve to intensify the effects of this storm.

If the crash recorder indicated that the accelerator was pressed at the time of the accident, then how could any one sane person, let alone 10 reasonably intelligent people, fault the software? I simply do not understand this.

If Tesla survives (which is looking pretty likely at this point) I vow to never buy another car from a dealer ever again.

The scary part is watching loved ones suffer and die while there's nothing you can do, and waiting for your turn. I agree with you though - the plan itself is not scary.

The TFV does NOT show the incident pilot flying a helicopter FPV a few feet from his face. Note at the end of the video he reaches up to turn off the camera almost immediately after landing. Large helicopters take up to a minute for the rotor to spin down. Also the heli that killed him had a rotor span of 600 mm, so he wouldn't have been able to reach the camera. In this video he was flying a multi-copter, which use much smaller propeller blades that stop almost immediately.

No, the primary goal is to what is right in the eyes of the world. Amerika is the world's savior! Generating extreme wealth for rich families and corporations is just a side benefit.

What you said is true, but what is the average cost per watt over the expected life of the plant? That is a better gauge of value and efficiency.

With this new plan the government limits how much it will pay for procedures, which directly addresses the problem of healthcare costs. Providers must reduce costs across the board to compete.

The deep sea and Everest are still experiences limited to this planet. Once the barrier to space is removed we will have an enormous variety of places to visit. I think the desire to travel in space would actually increase.

I previously used MSE, updated regularly, until I got infected. I manually scanned all downloaded files before running them. Every. Single. File. Trust this product at your own peril.

No benefit to *US* the paying customers, but it certainly benefits EA by allowing complete control of the product and when it can be used.

SpaceX founder and CEO just tweeted: "Issue with Dragon thruster pods. System inhibiting three of four from initializing. About to command inhibit override." Solar array deployment was delayed while engineers attempt to regain attitude control of Dragon.

In the comments that followed the launch, after orbital insertion, a problem was reported with the Dragon capsule. The downlink from the spacecraft was broken. No further details were provided.

The Gertboard includes an ATmega328p which can be programmed from the Raspberry Pi via putty. It includes 12 LEDs, a motor controller, A/D and D/A converters, switches, and other components.

Instead of running ethernet cables, use wifi. There are several options, such as: https://www.sparkfun.com/products/10822 http://ruggedcircuits.com/html/yellowjacket.html
