[AusNOG] Mixing tech stuff

[James Hodgkinson]

My first question with these solar tiles is this - if we can't keep weeds
and cracks out of our existing concrete/tiled pathways and roadways, what
are we going to do when we build our entire infrastructure out of
interlocking tiles?

Also... if you actually read into the design of roadways, one of the major
issues is water getting under the sealed surface and eating it away, the
other is heat expansion/contraction ruining its integrity. Without some
sort of (endlessly maintained) seal, the road surface will only last for
short times.
