I'm guessing the increased sampling rate will matter a lot more. Look at this page. Scroll almost all the way down and it'll compare between increasing the bitdepth to 24 and increasing the sampling rate to 192kHz.
Granted, the guy's English is a bit odd at times, but the oscilloscope images really speak for themselves.
It's been out for what, a day or two? Longer?
I wouldn't have expected it to die out so soon. Especially because it's an Apple product and they really rule at building up some hype.
The article claims that the bullets would be safe over the entire range. I wonder how they made the bullets strong enough to survive the force of being fired, but weak enough to disintegrate harmlessly when striking flesh at point blanc.
Yes, you might be able to hack around the immobilizer. However, you'd need some hardware and knowledge to do that. It raises the barrier of entry, so less cars will get stolen (that's all the insurer cares about).
And yet, here we (in general) are, gullible as ever, scooping up the bovine waste by the truckload. You'd think we would have learned from that mistake.
(I think) Denmark is good too. I heard have a dual community water system. One with drinking water, and the other with clean, but probably undrinkable water. The lesser water is used to flush toilets, wash cars, do laundry and water plants.
That saves money and energy because they don't have to clean their irrigation/toilet water to drinking-water standards.
Ofcourse, the infrastructure costs a lot more money (dual pipes and whatnot), but it'll pay for itself soon enough.
What's different about people in the Netherlands? We too are lazy by nature. That's why the chemical recycling center sends a truck (called the chemocar) round the neighborhoods every now and then. When it's near, you just take your chemobox with your batteries and whatnot and bring it to the truck outside. They sort its contents while you wait and you get your box back. It takes 3 minutes, flat.
If you miss a round, no big deal. You won't fill up your box that fast anyway.
Sorting your trash at home takes no time at all. For most trash you just need to remember this: If it rots, it goes into the green container, if it doesn't, put it in the grey container. Paper and chemicals have their own box.
Really, it doesn't take time, and AFAIK, the only thing the government had to do to enforce it was have a public awareness campaign...
In the Netherlands, you are asked to do just that.
We have separate containers (and pick-up services) for normal trash, green trash (anything bio-degradable), chemical trash (paint, batteries and stuff) and paper.
Instead of 1 large trashcan, we have 4 smaller ones.
You could, instead of downright trying to see how much it will take, try to get it up to 200% (or something, I'm not an aerospace engineer) and see for how long it can hold up to extremes like that. Might be more valuable data. Maybe someone more in the know can elaborate.
What does that help? All it does is raise the barrier of entry for criminals and it provides a false feeling of security to average people (who will think: "Hey! It's.bank, so it's good!").
You have bigger problems if the funds for a bike path (which is a quite narrow strip of asphalt and thus relatively cheap, compared to a normal road) leave the entire road system in such disarray that you have potholes damaging your car.
Hell, bike paths here usually entail making the road 4 feet wider and painting a 2 feet red stripe on both sides.
I don't quite understand your gripe about your taxes being used for something you do not use. That's the whole point of taxes. I bet some of your other taxes go to stuff you never need as well. Maybe a subsidy for a football team you never watch or played for.
No. Hybrids are also efficient on the highway, because their small gasoline engine has more than enough power to keep it at speed, yet a low consumption (because it is small). The big normal car engines are just a waste when you're not actually requiring all their horsepower, and that's almost always.
You'd see the same savings if a normal car was fitted with 2 half-sized engine instead of one full-size. On the freeway, only one engine needs to be on to keep it at speed, keeping it more efficient.
Honestly. What kind of bike do you ride and what do you ride it on?
Bike tyres are available with a kevlar lining that prevents punctures. Have been for ages too, and (over here) 2 tyres (front and back, inner and outer) with puncture-prevention will set you back about 15 US Dollars.
I'm at work now. It's raining pretty hard here. I rode my bike to work. I'm not drenched, I'm not even wet. And I'm not sweaty. It's called Gore-Tex.
The only problem I see is the lack of bike-specific roads in the States. Which can be fixed.
My parents (I don't own a car) drive a 2001 Opel Zafira 2.0 Diesel manual. It's the same car. It gets a bit worse mileage than yours gets (more than the 0.1L of extra displacement would suggest). Is yours newer?
That looks like what we (I'm Dutch) call a CV-kettle. Those have only been around here for some 40 years or so.
The top-of-the-line HR (high efficiency) models are claimed to get about 90% efficiency. That, insulated walls and tempex windows (double layered glass with some insulating gas between it) keep our natural gas use down. Add in a heat-reclaiming air exchange system (which isn't common here yet but we have one) and you really keep the costs down. Without sacrificing any comfort at all.
I've never been to the States, but I hear this type of construction isn't common there. It really should be.

So stop swallowing it.
I kid, I kid.
Actually, you can.
You can get all the parts from a Built to Order laptop store. For a little extra money, they assemble it for you and you get warranty.
Granted, it's not as easy as getting parts for a desktop PC, but it is not impossible.
I know that. That's what I'm trying to say. I'm not natively English speaking.

Same here. It's not an option, it just comes with the car. Just like steering lock.
Ah well, if the insurer pays for it and it keeps your car that bit more safe, why not do it?

I could have guessed that any part of the structure that's overspecced would be weakened to save weight. After all, weight is fuel is money, right?

The plan is to create a very expensive TLD?

I like it. There are more than enough gsomething or ksomething applications out there.
Yeah. I wanted to crack a "Hammertime" joke but I'm too disturbed at the moment.
I don't agree. What has Vista got to do with it? Linux (and Ubuntu) gained a user base large enough to gather some attention.
I'd rather live on Mercury. The sun has other problems beside a lack of Oxygen. Shooting jets of superheated plasma come to mind.
