I realize a person lost their life and that something deeply wrong happened, but my brain kinda got sidetracked by the whole "car was towed to another spot where it was ticketed several more times" part. WTF? How can that happen?

Wal Mart isn't a dirty job in the sense of particularly dangerous, or grueling, or even literally dirty work. Rather, it is a shitty symbol of how many people can't get ahead, despite doing a good job. Wal Mart is notorious for keeping employee hours just below the level where they'd be eligible for benefits, but…

Since you're asking specifically about visiting the factory and assuming I had full access to everything, then it would have to be Mclaren. Regardless of whether you like their cars, that facility is too amazing to pass up.

I grew up in the South. Amongst people I knew, the Confederate Battle Flag was alway an embarrassing relic of a particular period. It represents a very particular political viewpoint from a very short time. It didn't predate the secessionist movement, so it can't be said to have carried a cultural significance…

I love the most common defense of this: "We're not racist, we just advocate for the dissolution of the United States". Maybe they are right, maybe they should be allowed to celebrate their "heritage" as un-American traitors.

Doesn't VW need to have union representation as part of their charter? Since VW prompted all of this, how will it affect this plant?

Those are surprisingly low salaries for people at the top of a huge organization. That's like bank branch manager level pay.

Yes and no. There are a massive number of servers behind Azure, but the servers utilized by Titanfall and all Xbox One games taking advantage of them, are virtual machines running on top of the physical servers that comprise Azure. The Azure cloud fabric itself is up and running just fine. The problem here lies in…

First of all, the number of keys is the maximum potential playerbase, not the number of simultaneous users.

I always felt that was an intentionally bad pairing. Everybody knew that he didn't love her. He knew, for god's sake!

No, the JCW is a fully Mini produced vehicle. Just tuned up another notch.

I think BMW has finally found a way to continue making their naming scheme even more confusing without being able to point to a single new distinction that would bring in new customers. If anything this seems designed to shift customers who might otherwise buy M cars for prestige but would really be happier in…

That grill. Blech. It looks as stupid as early 20th century cars that had coachwork details from horse drawn carriages. Vestigial design elements that let lazy designers speak to customers afraid of change. Yay for yesteryear!

Like Steve McQueen? Really?! Can't be. Everyone thinks he was cool.

Lap times or it didn't happen.

He's always been a researcher first and foremost. He's done very well for himself and wants to pursue new technical challenges rather than focus on evolving conventional game engines at this point. He has a commercial rocketry company and also wants to do serious VR R&D instead of grinding out another mediocre game…

That really just explains the particular avenue they used for VPN access to get inside the network, and nothing at all about how the data itself was compromised.

I'd say those games focus on the 6-12 year old range, but can certainly go wider. I've got an 8 year old and because she's really into them, my 3 year old son now plays too. The thing is, they aren't really great games. They're not terrible and there are some really cool innovations in the toy mechanic, but if…

It's always the fookin' hill shtearts that get you.

Okay, this is what confuses me about crapcan racing. I realize that lying is part of the whole endeavor, but exactly how much? If I'm going to put a car together, I want to try and adhere to the spending limits as much as possible. Is the lying about crossing the line slightly or do teams go over by thousands of…
