That's a good point; I started thinking about how I currently compensate for this, and I realized I do it by holding onto the steering wheel and shifting my weight. The steering wheel has a secondary function as an anchor, you can push on it, pull it, and lift it without altering your course. I can't picture how I would do this if the only thing I can put my hands on are an "oh shit bar" and the joystick. A centrally located joystick console, which I will call a 'nut-buster' is no good, for obvious reasons. A 5-point safety harness could work, but, while safe and functional, would probably discourage seatbelt use.
Disclaimer: I am an aggressive driver at times, but making this less safe does not punish my bad habits, it just makes the car less safe when you (the defensive driver) are already in danger and forced to drive like me.
And dimmer switches, cordless drill battery charges, and even a really annoying slice of whatever frequency god damn bats chatter at. In short, my super power is above average HF hearing. Hooray for me...
Now, I like this idea, it's neat, I just really hope it operates well over 18khz so my head does not explode all Scanners style when I walk into a room full of laptops.
If chip makers are looking to go 128bit during the projected life-cycle of Win8, it behooves MS to get started on compatibility now; or would you prefer they try to patch it in later?

Well I'm being facetious in my defense of drunks, but what I'm saying is that texting is nigh indefensibly stupid. These are people, fully functional people, who probably DO know better, and do it anyway. A drunk driver only makes the one decision, they opt to drive when they know they shouldn't. A texter makes the conscious decision to stop paying attention and stare at their lap over and over again. On some level this repeated and willful negligence irks me more.
Is a drunk driver more dangerous? Yes, but I'm not prepared to say they're any less negligent than someone who says "Never mind these cars moving at 70mph, someone just forwarded me a funny joke and I have to type l-o-l right this instant!". At that moment, they have surrendered a portion of their ability to control their vehicle accurately. Not all drunks blow a.2, perhaps more than texters who careen into oil tankers that are inexplicably full of orphans; but on hazard gradient I think the two groups definitely overlap.
The big gripe I have is comparing texting while driving to drunk driving. They simply are not remotely the same.
Indeed not. A drunk driver's judgment is only temporarily impaired by toxins, it isn't fair to lump them in with people who's unimpaired judgment is so poor that they think texting while driving is totally ok.
I do, but either I disabled it when I tweaked the UI, or this "ribbon" system isn't what I think it is. That, and Explorer is really the only native MS app I use; maybe I'm just missing it.
1. Who should be shot for spending the USA into a $12 trillion debt?
We the people.
I don't know that anyone should be shot, but we are all at fault. Your (Our?) impotent rage is built upon decades of indifference by the general public.
The general thought process is that as cars get better gas mileage, the revenues from the gas tax will decline.
I personally don't see a problem with continuing to use the gas tax, but increasing it: It encourages people to drive more fuel efficient cars. I don't see this monitoring technology as being useful.
Taxes shouldn't be used to encourage a particular lifestyle, especially not this one. Once everyone goes electric, what have you got left to sustain road upkeep? You're either going to be charging truckers $5,000/gallon for their gas, or no more roads.
A mid-sized electric car puts the same wear and tear on the road as a mid-sized car that runs on a mixture of gasoline, coal and the blood of the unborn; and it should be taxed the same. A mileage tax, using GPS data to determine where you drove, how you drove, how much load you were carrying, etc, would be the most effective means of providing the appropriate amount of tax revenue to keep those roads working. That should be the point of a tax targeted at the act of driving.
If you want a tax to undo the damage from emissions, I get that, but we're talking road maintenance.
Not only could this replace revenue lost from decreased gasoline consumption this would allow us to have variable tax rates on various roads. Higher congestion could lead to higher taxes encouraging people to car pool, use mass transit, etc.
It would also necessitate a federal law against tampering with your car's GPS or in any way modify or interfere with the radio signals emanating from your car.
Car analogy:
Its like if the federal government said you could no longer tampering with your car's GPS or in any way modify or interfere with the radio signals emanating from your car.
hey can take uranium and convert it to uraninite, a nearly insoluble substance that will sink to the bottom of a lake or stream. Wall is looking into... how long the changed material would remain inert.
Emphasis mine. It sounds to me that the bacteria are just converting the top layer into a uraninite shell; which insulates the radioactive material? "Nearly insoluble" suggests that it will eventually be broken down by the water, exposing the hot core once again.
Am I reading this correctly? If so, it would seem a method of grinding the material to dust and feeding it into vats/barrels in an O2 free environment might lead to a more permanent solution. Granted, this dust is probably just as dangerous from an inhalation/water contamination perspective...
But if one were to siphon off the CO2 output from the Coaler plant described, could you further increase efficiency of the boiler by running the exhaust through the solar/TiO2 system and feeding it back into the boiler?

He's a danger to their network only if no one has yet changed the passwords on the routers and other equipment.
I know they changed all the "dangerous" VPN passwords they accused him of hoarding. Of course, after entering them into the public record; they kind of had to. It took them two days to react; and subsequently caused the only network outage related to this incident; but they got changed.
I've tried it, but its apparent lack of bookmark keywords and, by extension, search keywords were a major drawback for me. "imdb dagon" gets me the entry for Dagon on imdb. "gf goog" gets me a stock quote on GOOG, etc. Has Chrome implemented anything like this? Did I just miss it?
Why are we even continuing to ask this question? IE will never go away, and we all know this. As long as Microsoft has adequate competition, they will devote adequate resources to develop an adequate browser. And IE8 is that; perfectly adequate. Is it great at Acid3? Absolutely not. Does it do what most people want it to, most of the time? Sure; and the end result of that is that most people will never care enough to switch.
Will this deal be the beginning of the end for IE6? Now that's a question I want an affirmative answer to. I'd hope so, but it wont. That pos is being kept alive by the needs of organizations who are stuck using internal web apps that overworked programmers kludged together for IE 6. And it's going to take a whole lot more than a new Vaio (That will be slicked and re-imaged before the suits even notice this 'Chrome' thingy), to penetrate the rancid cloud of decay emanating from their decrepit web browser of choice before they pay to have those reworked.
Fair enough then. Apple did their job, consumer didn't. Nothing left to see but inevitable complaints to the FTC about larger, more obnoxious, warnings.
Certainly it's possible, they just need better shock absorption. The current design transmits too much of the shock to the skull.
This problem is actually caused by the helmet's method of not transmitting shock to the skull. FTA:
To protect soldiers from bullets and shrapnel, modern helmet design maintains a 1.3-cm gap between helmet and head; in the simulation, the blast wave washed into the helmet through this gap. "The helmet acts as a windscoop, so the pressure between the skull and helmet is larger than the blast wave by itself," King said. While the ACH's pads mostly prevented this underwash, they also passed on forces to the skull.
So the trick is keeping the overpressure out of the helmet, while keeping it separated from the skull. Perhaps a dual helmet design; Rigid outer shell to absorb and deflect impact, and a second separate inner covering to resist overpressure. Either that, or in place of ACH pads, some type of system relying on fluid dynamics to redirects force forward, out the face of the helmet, rather than inward toward the skull.
"I've also seen one coworker's device outgas in his car, marking up his dash, and he was lucky it didn't catch fire. Dumbass left it running in a parked car that was off, doors open and music blasting through the stereo, and apparently left the GPS enabled, parked it in the sun not far from a friend's backyard pool. 6-7 hours later, music stopped and smoke was billowing from his car. Do you think he blamed Apple? nope, he forked over $600 for a new phone though..."
If an iPhone (or any phone or GPS for that matter) can't run for 6-7 hours with the GPS on in the sun but in a ventilated area without exploding, it is defective.
If you're using a small, thermally sensitive, explosive charge as a battery, you should consider linking a thermometer to the Off switch.
It would also behoove you to make sure your customer knows the product may double as a plasma-torch under certain conditions.

This sounds exactly the sort of thing warning labels are intended for. If the nature of a device's construction is such that it may explode after prolonged use in the summer sun; I'm not sure it demands a recall, but a warning label would be appropriate. The device is, for better or worse, behaving as intended; it is the user's understanding of safe operation that is lacking.
Is there any kind of "Do not expose to temperatures over x degrees" warning on devices with this type of integrated battery? My laptop battery says as much, but while I have to remove it to see it, I'm sure the paperwork the laptop came with mentions it as well.
