Metal-halide vapor lights are not incandescent.

In a word: Money.

Government will be involved, as Google and other Autonomous Car manufacturer will lobby government to may autonomous cars mandatory, "for the children," of course...

I've ridden an average of about 5k miles/year for the past 15 years, including 45 miles/day in almost daily commuting in busy traffic times.

I've had precisely zero accidents and zero injuries during that time, probably because I don't run stop signs or red lights, and try to be a courteous rider on the road. I see a lot of the same cars every single day, and they've seen me. When you don't ride around like a "critical mass" dickhead, chances are you're not going to get yourself into any trouble with traffic.

First, loser-pays only incentivize businesses and people who are not rich to settle out of court and admit defeat without a trial. That is not justice.

Second, small-time inventors don't always productize their inventions, either because they don't have the money, don't have the time, or for other reason. This shouldn't stand in the way of them profiting from their hard work and inventiveness.

This is just another pro-corporate bill churned out of our for-profit, insider-trading Congress.

I can attest to this. I got sick and tired of inkjets waking themselves up in the middle of the night to dump ink into the little sponge inside that let it evaporate. They call it "cleaning," but in reality it's just wasting ink so you have to buy more.

Inkjets are crack cocaine. We just have to break the cycle of addiction.

I bought an OKI B-4200 LED printer back in about 2005 and it is still working flawlessly today. I think I'm on my third toner cartridge in 8 years (we don't print that much).

We're thinking about replacing it with a Brother color laser, so it's good to know they have good driver support because I'm 100% Linux at home.

If these scientists are correct, then it is also possible to divide by zero, because bogodynamic quantum entanglement coefficients become both observable and reversible in the magnetoreluctant quasistatic interface between the non-observed static universe and the observed temporal-dynamic universe. Crossing this entanglement boundary requires continuous and differentiable traversal of an asymptotic gravitational cotangent function in the real plane by a moving observer.

Clearly this results in a !div0 error.

It both sounds like bullshit and not like bullshit, until you listen to it. Then, it'll sound like one or the other.

... put a tablet-like device in the dashboard running Android and write apps that perform the infotainment functions. They need to stop wasting time on these proprietary implementations and just start doing what most consumers are doing already - pairing bluetooth stereo and using their tablets/phones as their primary source of media and entertainment in the car.

I am the last person anyone should be calling in an emergency. I am not a firefighter, paramedic, doctor, or anything else that would be helpful in an emergency. There is no emergency out there that anyone should be calling me about.

Then again, as a society, we seem to have changed the definition of "emergency" to "anything that is the slightest bit inconvenient."

As another poster said, the human race survived thousands of years without being constantly connected to each other.

They really are out to get you.

Wasn't Saturn a direct-sales manufacturer before the failure and GM buyout? How did they sell cars in Texas, or did they?
