Comment Autonomous trucking (Score 1) 173

Autonomous trucking with human last-leg is the future for long-haul trucking. Let a truck run highway-only between major points with hand-offs to human drivers for last-mile deliveries. This will be cheaper than current trucking and up to 2x faster due to the now-enforced 10hr driving periods. Once that is in place, I don't see a market for enough volume needing the extra speed to pay for the infrastructure.

Comment Good for them. (Score 1) 547

It's about time someone took those guys down a notch. The scenarios are so contrived that the draw such huge conclusions off of the smallest unimportant decisions. Then they claim that certain cars are crap because they don't compare to those 3x their price. It pisses me off how much they do for the entertainment value rather than trying to actually fairly depict the car they are testing. There certainly are plenty of defamatory statements that get made all of the time on the show.

I don't work more than ~45 hours per week unless it's my own fault that something is behind. That's because I'm salary, and overtime exempt. My priorities in life involve family being above work and the best way to show that is with time. Now if there is overtime, then I'd be happy to work more (to a point). Or if I owned the business and thus had an increase of profit with a greater expenditure of time investment, then I'd do so as well.

Submission + - 45nm Phenom II matches Core 2 Quad, trails Core i7 (techreport.com)

An anonymous reader writes: AMD is debuting its 45nm Phenom II processors today, and The Tech Report has already run them through a complete suite of benchmarks to see how they perform compared to Intel's latest and greatest. The result? The new 2.8GHz and 3GHz Phenom IIs are in a dead heat with like-priced Core 2 Quads, but they generally fall well behind Intel's new Core i7 chips. TR concludes that AMD's future doesn't look as bleak as some say, and future Phenom IIs could compete favorably with more affordable Core i7 derivatives.
