  1. Really? on Did Stuxnet Take Out 1,000 Centrifuges At Natanz? · · Score: 1

    Well Doh!!

    The malware seems to have specific code to target the centrifuges. There is reportedly sub par performance and high replacement rate for the centrifuges.

    Do you need a diagram too?

  2. Re:New Delhi on Autonomous Audi TT Conquers Pike's Peak · · Score: 1

    Yeah, the metro in New Delhi is driverless, too.

    Uhh ... I live here (New Delhi) and no, the DMRC trains aren't driverless.
    Included are some links that tell about an accident that happened when a driver did something stupid.

    And you get to spell the name wrong? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohandas_Karamchand_Gandhi I'm not just invoking wikipedia as an authority here, as an Indian, 'Gandhi' is how that surname is spelt.

    If shortness of documentation was the sole metric for language popularity, shouldn't we all be programming in Brainfuck - http://www.muppetlabs.com/~breadbox/bf/

  6. Re:A bit overblown on Bugatti's Latest Veyron, Most Ridiculous Car on the Planet? · · Score: 0

    Except in airplanes, power to move is not being transferred through the wheels. They are their just to support the plane's weight till the wings take over. And another thing, all those cars that are built by amateurs to go faster than this ... are not built to run on roads for 10+ years.

    To quote from the Top Gear show which quoted the engineer who designed the transmission :
    "Yes, F1 cars do something similar, but the transmission in them need only last a few races, this has to transfer 1000 hp to the wheels at 400+ km/h and last atleast 10 years"
    Apply that to all the various components in the car.
