Stupid AC, movies are not games, in games you want the highest framerate possible because this (usually) means quicker response times from keyboard/mouse/gamepad, increasing the feeling of immersion in the game.
This is especially so with the Oculus Rift type headgear being developed, the less lag between your input and the computer's visual output the more immersed you feel, with movies you're simply an outside observer.
It depends on the terminal velocity of what's being fired into the air. Mythbusters looked at that one a while back: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TDB838Vi6hw (warning: the narrator sounds like a numpty - the people showing it on UK decided to have their own narrator instead of sticking with the original US one)
Legal reasons are a likely for the explanation of the motor cutting out at a certain speed. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_bicycle_laws for a comprehensive breakdown of legalities regarding electric bikes speed/weight/motor power in US states and around the world.
One of the places a velomobile would legally allowed to go but access (especially here in the UK) would often make it impossible to enter, which is why I really like my electric bike as it will happily go on roads and cycle tracks without fuss. But I wish the councils would fix the roads, pot holes are a bane (and sometimes danger) to the cyclist.
Unfortunately there's no sure way of stopping someone spreading negative information about you (wether true or not) even before the days of the internet. However the less you act like an ass the less chance any negative information about you that's 'out there' is actually valid and your true friends will know that that information is wrong.
I had a small trackball for my Amiga which I stuck to the keyboard, it was convenient to have it there but I never found it as quick / precise / easy as a mouse, which I have yet to find a better alternative to for GUI control.
Touchscreens certainly have their place (phones/tablets etc.) but they are no match for a keyboard+mouse in many situations - just ask the gamers.
The laptop & USB touchpads with multi-touch are pretty nice to use; two finger scrolling instead using the edges of the pad, three finger for right click, the ability for pinch zoom is also handy, but they're still no match for a mouse IMHO.
FireFox on my Android tablet does this bounce-back thing when I zoom out too far or scroll beyond the edge of the page and then take my finger(s) off the screen. I really hate it. I can't find an option to turn the fucking bounce thing off.
I watched a bit of the trailer and I reccomend nobody should watch it under any circumstances, not because of the content but because the acting is fucking atrocious.
I can't see shit either. On my Nook Tablet I tried the Android Browser and FireFox and both came up with the "this device not supported" crap, and on this PC I'm just getting the spinny thing and then black screen or "An error occured. Please try again later.", but if I try later I won't fucking see it live!

What's a 'field'?
I discovered on at least one site that blocking cookies for them meant that the banner never goes away!
Bloody annoying!
So I hacked up a Greasemonkey script to remove the banners.

I'm going to do the same to ward off other people.

Somebody's going to have to invent some new colours soon before all the major corporations own the current ones...
I was there! It was crap, Ghostbusters wasn't out until the next year.

You shouldn't be surprised when people view it.

There's no fuckin' way I'm ditching my mouse and keyboard for a touchscreen.
So tell me oh great insightful one, why do so many people have problems connecting to their wifi router when their microwave oven is on?

Every time someone uses the word CLOUD in relation to computers it makes me want to CLOUT them, a lot.
Dear Viol8,
Fuck you, you ignorant arsehole.

P.S. I also have karma to burn.

They're using the freedom of speech to complain about the freedom of speech.
No wonder they're being ridiculed.
Found a different feed and powered up the projector, watching it on a 6 foot wide screen :)
I connected to a US VPN and as if by magic I can see the video (but it keeps buffering)... hmm are they limiting access or something?

Drilling is one thing, but actual coal mining on campus? How would that even work?
You know that film The Great Escape...
