Dude, where's my Wiener, Wagon?

Druggie crazies from Portland will steal anything, anywhere for more drug money.

A San Diego woman says she paid her entire apartment building's utility bills for 2 years — then her power was shut off.
https://www.yahoo.com/finance/news/anybody-paying-attention-san-diego-131700708.html

Patterson lives in a two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment, yet her monthly utility bill would sometimes come to $400,
It was only when SDG&E turned off the power to Patterson’s unit one night that she discovered why her bill was so high.

Despite consistently paying for the 10-unit building’s utilities, it turns out her unit had a separate account under her ex-boyfriend's name that hadn't been paid in two years. It wasn't until she got on the phone with SDG&E to explain she had been making payments the entire time that the company realized the error.

Google’s self-designed office swallows Wi-Fi “like the Bermuda Triangle”

All those peaks and parabolic ceiling sections apparently aren't great for Wi-Fi propagation, with the Reuters report saying that the roof "swallows broadband like the Bermuda Triangle." Googlers assigned to the building are making do with Ethernet cables, using phones as hotspots, or working outside, where the Wi-Fi is stronger. One anonymous employee told Reuters, "You’d think the world’s leading Internet company would have worked this out."

It looks like an ugly, square turtle ...

Seems to me MIPS or FLOPS per watt should be where it's at.
It's really a big 1000W resistor with this cpu inside.
