The people I end up behind on the surface streets might be able to do 0-60 in less than 10 seconds, but for some reason they won't even do 0-45 in less than 20, if they get there at all. Even when I'm getting on the interstate... less than half the people seem to use the onramp to accelerate up to the speed of traffic, they go slow the whole way and only speed up where the lanes actually merge.
That's because there is often a slow poke in the right-most lane that you can't see until you are about to merge. I like acceleration as much as anyone but I really hate hitting the brakes after I burned all that gas getting up to speed. But I still agree with you. I often find myself nearly hitting the brakes some long merge lanes with good sight lines because the bozo in the front won't accelerate until the very end.
Your example of gears is bicycles? That's cool, I guess. But, you know, *cars*...
Sure. Cars have gears. But they are only visible if you work on them to the level that you actually open a gear box. Not many people to that. Bicycle chain rings and cogs, on the other hand, are fully exposed. They are impossible to miss even you don't work work on them at all.
Wrenches, gears, magnifying glasses, screw drivers. These are not obsolete tools. Kids still ride bicycles. Bicycles still have gears and near screw drivers and wrenches for adjustment and repair. Magnifying glasses aren't the most useful of items but they are still cheap and as often seen now as 20 years ago.
What do you think the USA would do if Russia began installing a "Missile Defense System" in Cuba and Venezuela?
The CIA would start looking for whatever it is the Russians thought needed defending. It would cause great confusion in Washington since there isn't presently any reason threated Cuba or Venezuela with a missile attack.
But it wouldn't be enormously more confusing then the current Russian behavior. The cold war is over. MAD is over. There is no reason for Russia to consider firing missiles at Europe or visa versa. So why are they concerned about a missile defense that isn't capable of deflecting a Russian missile attack on Europe anyway. If they had a reason to mount or threaten such an attack. Which they don't. The whole thing is just anachronistic right wing posturing. It has no relevance to the present day except to cause diplomatic trouble and appease right wing elements in Russia nostalgic for the glory days of the Soviet Union and the cold war.
In a sense, yes. Organs are always in short supply and priority is given to the young and healthy (aside from needing an organ, that is). The second recipient was a 67 year old diabetic. Through normal channels, he probably could not get a kidney at any price.
I stopped using Lonely planet for travel advice because everything they suggested was congested with other Lonely planet users.
I think your problem isn't LP. The problem is that you keep going the same places that everybody else goes. There is no "Lonely Planet Effect" is Madagascar.
Most SOC's do a lot more than a direct translation of the c coded alogrithm would suggest. I guess if you had a "wrapper" platform that was good enough for many applications you could streemline the process. My guess that this platform and the links to C synthesis is most of Algotochip's secret sauce.
C synthesis itself can't handle most programs writen in C. Essentially you need to write Verilog in C in order to make it work. Any dynamic allocation of memory, whether directly or indirectly, is a problem. IO can not be expected to work.
So it boils down to: If you C source is uncharacteristicly just right and your application fits a pre-defined mold then you can make it a chip real quick...as long as you don't ecounter any problems during place and route or timing closure...
From the company's perspective, they would hardly get anything done if their key staff members were switching sides all the time.
If your key staff members are always taking the bait then you are doing something wrong. Either your "best" employees are mercenaries, which means that more loyal types with options are not willing to come work for you or you are facing widespread discontent in a team that it expected it would be different. Maybe the irritation hasn't risen to the level that they are willing to face the ugliness of the job market but it will. You might even be better off if they left earlier.
Whatever you may think of the expansions of the name space so far (.mobi,.info, etc) rest assured that it won't be happening again. By turning the root into another free-for-all (really pay-for-all), ICANN has guaranteed that there will be no space in the root to implement any new ideas that they or anybody else should come up with.
The camp, begun in 1959, was abandoned for good in 1966
Its a victim of soviet h-bomb development. The planning phase was "more or less" before decent soviet h-bombs (around 1960-ish) so everything was too close together, and/or proper spacing in a h-bomb era would make it unscalable. It would have worked pretty well as designed in a pre-h-bomb environment.
It was common in the 50's for multiple competing solutions to be implemented in parallel before exhaustively studying whether any of them would work. No one was sure that ICBM's would really work so they also started work on supersonic bombers, nuclear powered cruise missiles, and, apparently a plan to put shorter range missiles closer to the enemy.
By 1960, Titan I was available with enough range to be launched from anywhere in the continental US. They made the case for a Greenland missile base less compelling, though presumably the IRBM's in Greenland could have been launched quicker. Starting in 1963, the Titan II could be launched immediately from the silos, eliminating the 15 minute pause at the surface for fueling. Building a ice base in Greenland must have seemed like a great deal of effort for no military purpose.
Every other email client supports identities in the same clumsy fashion. Each and every identity must be individually configured in. That's fine when you four and they never change. It is nearly useless when you have 400 and add several new ones each week.
Mutt lets me define identities with regular expressions. I can set alternates=(.*@foo,example.com,.*@bar.example.com) Now every user @foo.example.com and @bar.example.com will match as me, even ones I haven't thought up yet.
When sending a new message, I can type in whatever I want in the From: field. When the reply comes in, it is automatically recognized if it matches an established pattern. I haven't had to change my alternates in years even though I have added hundreds of identities.
Prostate cancer tends to strike late in life and is very slow growing. It is so unlikely to kill that there has been considerable debate on whether it makes sense to screen for it. On average, the treatment is worse than the disease. Left untreated, victims usually live long enough to die from other things before the cancer can become a problem.
You could ask for a specific waiver. That is how researchers have been able to fly their drones. I am skeptical though that the FAA would be willing to issue a waiver for something is just a hobby.
In ancient Rome, they would always say that food prices were too high, and there were ships full of Egyptian corn offshore, just waiting for the price in the marketplace to rise.
Egyptian corn? Corn is a New World crop, It was unknown in the Mediterranean region until the 16th century.
It is vaguely based on pre-clearchannel broadcast radio regulation, which worked pretty well but was not corrupt enough, which led to our current previously-profitable wasteland.
Maybe I don't quite understand what you are saying but it sounds a whole lot like land line service. The result is that the local carriers with the largest starting base and least ethics will bribe enough congressmen to eventually overturn all the restrictions while maintaining their guaranteed income.
I mean, it is nice to know that Google's fastest route is a disaster because freeway traffic that was assumed to move at 50mph is actually doing only 5mph but when is Google or any other map service going to use this information to calculate a route that works well now?
It would even be a nice touch to update the estimates based on a projected time. Right now, I can change the map to show traffic conditions at 9:00am Monday morning but the time estimate is still based on 11:00am Saturday.
Actually, my wife has just said to me that paracetamol has more documented cases of causing psychosis as a side effect than Lariam...
Other than pointing out that paracetamol also has potential for psychosis, what does this tell you? Paracetamol is vastly more widely used than Mefloquine. Even if the risk from paracetamol was only 1% of that from mefloquine, you could still see more documented cases of psychosis.
That's true as long as it doesn't take any time to detect and decode a signal sent with neutrinos. Neutrinos are not electrons and trying to extract a signal from them is challenging enough that, in the near term, the computational latency would likely dwarf the transit time.
Making repairs is a going to be major undertaking.
Looking at the map, latency could be reduced further by routing via the North Pole. Of course that makes the troubles with laying and repairing the cables even worse.

ISCA was a "fork" from Quartz BBS, which itself was a replacement for the ill-fated Cavevax.
There ware other Internet BBS's. Samba comes to mind.
The lack of line of sight is the killer. From one of many articles on the subject: FAA regulations developed in the 1970s to cover the amateur use of radio-controlled planes, which also apply to today's DIY drones. Those rules include restricting their altitude to 400 feet (120 meter), requiring them to always be in view of their controller on the ground and prohibiting them from being flown over built-up areas.
You could ask for a specific waiver. That is how researchers have been able to fly their drones. I am skeptical though that the FAA would be willing to issue a waiver for something is just a hobby.

Use the accelerometers such that the entire phone is your paddle.
It's like the old Steven Wright joke about putting instant coffee in a microwave oven.

If not, they would have been laid off!
