Not sure if anyone has heard about this one, or even if it's legit ... But I'm giving it a shot in the name of insane curiosity. eBitInvest.com (Yes that is a referral link)

Welcome to Ponzi Scheme.

if you're early enough getting onto one of these, they actually do pay out from time to time.

Usually though, by the time you hear about it the scheme is already on the verge of bankruptcy and you won't ever see your money again.

Better to get some btc via coinbase, and send it to the btc/cny futures exchange bitvc. Then you have quite the list of options for how to trade it, but trade with care- if you take a bad position you'll get margin called and lose it.

Well that would be one way to fix a failing economy.

Make contact with a parallel universe, and sell them technology from this one.

Alternately, steal technology from a more advanced universe to sell in this one.

Ramps are positively dangerous because if the car slips out of gear or your chocks are not large enough it can very quickly roll right back down them.

Better to get the floor jack and a set of jackstands to go with it. The jack raises the car, then a jackstand is raised to be snug against the car's frame and latched at that height. If the jack fails or bleeds down, the car will land on the stand instead of on you.

And yes, better to go under it from time to time to make sure. You can spot fluid leaks, keep track of what is rusting where, and make sure there aren't any dangling pieces while under it.

Are Your Computer Devices Hardwired for Betrayal?
"How Do We Fix It?
1. Firmware must be properly audited.....
2. Firmware updates must be signed......
3. We need a mechanism for verifying the integrity of installed firmware......."

Or simply making it so that you don't update the firmware in the field. Build it right the first time, and stop shipping software with serious defects in it.

The jumper idea works though because it prevents firmware from being changed with someone doing so intentionally, any more restrictive than that and you might as well not allow firmware updates at all.

Whats your budget, and does it have to be online?

Really simple stuff there are solutions like Sketchup to handle, but anything complex or precise and you'd better shell out the cash for a real CAD solution.
