If they do not allow for imperfections in speedometer readings, they will overticket the population.
I can't say for sure about the US, but over this side of the pond speedos cannot read less than the actual speed i.e. if you're doing 30mph the speedo must read at least 30mph. I would think it safe to assume the US has similar requirements.
One thing I've been unable to do in Win 7 is get the default 'play' context menu item to accept my preferred player.
I can 'Play in VLC' from the context menu, but the bold, top of the menu 'play' refuses to be anything other than WMP. I might be able to fix it by enabling autorun and setting the autoplay to VLC, but I don't want autorun enabled on my system.
I've always been able to get it to work fine - you must have missed an option or something.
I found that here in the UK, doctors tend to develop shorthand just in case anyone (like a nosy relative) looks at the patients notes in hospital... a nice one that stands out in my mind is "NFN" which is taken to mean that the patient is mentally impaired and thus requires extra care/attention when being spoken to. When I asked a doctor friend of mine what "NFN" stood for he chuckled and said... "Normal for Norfolk".
There's another one, I think it's a US one - GOMER (Get Outta My Emergency Room).
To use the traditional car analogy, hospitals are much like body shops. You really don't need to know every point that was inspected, every noise source that was considered, or the internal notes from the mechanic about how you question every repair so he should make sure to only finish work on days the manager's available.
True, but I'd expect to get that information if I ask for it. Same with medical records.
it's the unequalness where mega was procecuted but youtube allows to steam on
YouTube is owned by Google, and their pockets are deeper than the Mariana Trench. Dotcom's pockets are more like the Grand Canyon: big, but not that big.
The main difference being NASA software runs on fixed hardware, but Windows has to support a near infinite variety. So you'd have to certify on an unbelievable number of systems to be sure. Also, even NASA software occasionally has bugs;-)
Building your own site with 99.999% uptime is really hard, Amazon's cloud has outage problems as well, where exactly are you going to host your site in a way that doesn't go down?
There are Cloud providers other than Amazon & Microsoft.
None of which can claim to be better than 99.999% uptime, since it's practically impossible to achieve.
When you charge an arm and a leg for an OS and your company basically has unlimited money, then there is no excuse for not delivering perfect software with no bugs. So yes I was expecting a perfect version of Metro.
The cost of certifying a modern OS totally bug-free would exceed the GDP of the entire world, hundreds of times over.
Nobody said Obama was bombing citizens on US soil. But when asked if he thought he could do that, he wouldn't answer. It would have taken him much less time, effort, and energy to say no than to not say no, hilariously. Why couldn't he just say no?
Maybe he genuinely doesn't know if he could or not. And unless the need comes up, he may never know if he could or not.
Anyone who "needs" a watch in order to save the three seconds it takes to take your phone out of your pocket and put it back needs to purchase a gun, put it to the roof of their mouth and pull the trigger.
So does that mean I can just view these sites using my mobile broadband connection from Three, and then after getting the torrent file or magnet link I can carry on downloading the torrent on my Virginmedia home broadband?
Yes, since the block only applies to the Pirate Bay site itself (as far as I know).
"Java is the best cross platform language in the world"
If you had a clue, you knew that C++ and cross-platform libraries such as WxWidgets, Qt, STL, boost and so on are the "best" cross-platform stuff.
Depends on the application. If it's a line-of-business app (stock tracking, payroll, etc), Java's probably better, as it abstracts away enough details that you just get on with developing a useful program. However, if you're making something that requires heavy lifting (CAD/CAM, games, 3D modelling etc), then C++ is better, as you can squeeze more performance out of it at the expense of some ease-of-development.

Start braking a bit earlier.

Mars is much cheaper to get to.

From where?
The Prime Meridian. Dividing East from West since 1851.
Yes, I declare the following are dead: ... turkey burgers ...
I'd hope so. Last thing I want is my burger walking off before I can eat it.
Reporting from Europe. Can confirm life. Intelligence yet to be confirmed.

The network as a whole may achieve better than 5 9s, but I doubt any of the users are experiencing less than 30s downtime a year.
If the president doesn't know that it's not okay to assassinate US citizens on US soil without the benefit of due process
Never said anything about due process, so I'm not sure what you're arguing with here.

You first.
I know it's a joke, hence I made one of my own :P
How about investing in buying the real products instead of pirating them.
Hope you like a challenge - find all 78 episodes of Sonic X on region 2 DVD.

Not so fast - MathML's in WebKit already.
Google just decided to remove MathML from Chrome 25, so much for "great competition and rapid evolution" for academic e-books.
Looks like it's going to be restored as part of WebKit though.
Actually, scratch that - not sure that's exactly right.
You can go back farther than that - http://odf-converter.sourceforge.net/download.html
