Ok.. Let me clarify... We are both talking about motion yes, but different forms. He was refering to rotation of the wheel, while I was refering to the wheel skidding along the ground. The fricion is higher when the wheel is not skidding as compared to when it is skidding. However a non rotating wheel is going to skid, a rotating wheel is more likely to be not skidding.
Basically with ABS, or a driver pumping the brakes, the purpose is to provide just enough resistance to the wheel to keep it in the static friction phase. This is basically what someone else said earlier about a good driver being able to hold the brake right at that point without pumping.
Sony and Toshiba issued laptops with USB 2 on them when they were the USB 2 that was the USB 1.1
While the devices marked as USB 2.0 can actually transmit a what ever speed they want (Well 1.5, 12, or 480) the hubs i.e. the computer itself must support high speed. Therefore any hub, be it standalone or in a computer must support data rates of 480Mb/second or it cannot be label as USB2.0.
Infact I'll quote from page 297 of the spec(emphasis mine):
Listed below are the major aspects of USB functionality that hubs must support:
â Connectivity behavior â Power management â Device connect/disconnect detection â Bus fault detection and recovery â High-, full-, and low-speed device support
You merely have to increase the ouput power of each node signal or the ability to read weak signals to that which would allow each hop to span several hundred miles,
Several hundred miles?!? And people claim cell phones currently cause cancer.... Just think what will happen when you increase the range by a factor of 10 or so...
The outputed power would have to increase by inverse squares I think? (Or is it inverse cube?)
And say goodbye to any sort of battery run time.
Mind you I'm not entirely sure if the frequencies in question can actually achive those ranges. Could a ham or radio person field that one?
Actually I'm pretty sure that mobile phones fall under Part 15 . So therefore any interference they cause IS their problem:
 15.5 General conditions of operation.
(b) Operation of an intentional, unintentional, or incidental radiator is subject to the conditions that no harmful interference is caused and that interference must be accepted that may be caused by the operation of an authorized radio station, by another intentional or unintentional radiator, by industrial, scientific and medical (ISM) equipment, or by an incidental radiator.
Mind you this is under the assumption that the avionics are not held to Part 15.
Actually the mention of removing error checking is in the/. article summary. The problem is people are just reading the summary and assuming that it is actually correct and accurate.
Conpiracy? Since when is an attempt by a company to make more money a conspiracy? I live in a capitalistic society so I see nothing evil with a company buying out a competitor for any reason, especially to make more money!
Mind you I'm the kind of person who always laughs when some says that they love capitalism but hate Microsoft (or any company or person) for trying to make as much money as possible!
(Then again maybe you were being sarcastic and I just missed it....)
10 characters is just enough to encode the lat/long of any location on earth (including oceans) with 1 meter of resolution. (36^10 codes / 510x10^6 sq. km. = 7 codes/sq. meter)
However, only 30% of the earth is land. I really don't think (At least i hope) that post being sent to ocean going vessels will be addressed this way. (Yes i suppose stationary things such as oil drilling rigs could be, but hey...)
While serial communication does send data in a serial format. The serial data method in question (RS-232 in this case) is definitely byte orientated. All data sent via RS-232 is packaged in bytes of 5-8 bits.
Yes, the power has to come from a power plant that most likely burns some sort of fuel.Though I would imagine that the power plant is a bit more efficient than you average car engine. (Correct me if I am mistaken)

So basically good conditions (that which isn't ususally there) a good driver(which most aren't) can stop shorter then the ABS.
All that means is we need to improve the ABS, IMO.
Actually no...
A sliding object always has a lower coefficient of friction than an stationary object(Static vs kenetic.

But the Poster never actually said what his contract was. Some contracts actually do mention overtime and weekend work on as needed basis.
Failing that, you could find some people who could see into the future and predict who was going to commit a terrorist attack before it happened.
Hmm.. Sounds like a good idea for a movie....
Oh wait they already made it..
Well considering the site is marketing towards the Los Angeles area, I don't think the people there will have keyboards with that character set..
1/60? Where the heck are you getting those odds from? It sounds like you are looking at the failure rate for the Space Shuttle.
What about all the unmanned launches? That should lower the odds some...
On the front page of www.la they have the following site listed:
café.la $100.00
However when you click on it to register it throws an error message becuase of the 'é' not being a valid character
I would feel sorry for any company if they actually registered that domain since almost noone would be able type the 'é' to visit their site.
(Yes I know there are ways of doing it, but most people couldn't figure it out)

The 'Q' looks like a Q. The 'Z' however looks remarkably similar to a '2'.

Good points otherwise...

So couldn't they reduce the code by 70%?

Just quick off-topic question:
How can you achive 3 9's uptime when your upstream can not supply you with that?
Shouldn't what you supply to you customers be limited to what your upstream provides?
Though taking someones finger off tends to be a bit obvious...
"Tis but a scratch!"
"A scratch?!?! Your bloody finger is off!"
Yes i know there are other methods but...
Except inside the matrix (where the scene in question took place) the time is now, or possibly closer to 2000.
Hmmm... I thought he was refering to the programmers...
Except for the most part most software programs are not used is situations where fatalities can occur if things fail.
If a 747 has a problem scores of people will quite possibly die.
If some random office computer crashes... Ya well usually noone will die.
The recalls and groundings happen becuase of the loss of life. Now wiether or not software should be held to a higher standard.....
Hmmm My bad on the type ahead. I actually did look at the link quickly. Though I apparently skimmed it a little too fast.
Actually type ahead is nothing like fast foward.
