Oh, wait, that only simulates turning left. Bummer.
Not quite correct - the rotation direction of the centrifuge is irrelevant.
In reality, a turn correctly taken will result in the internal ear still detecting the vertical (even if the eye will tell you something else) and your body an extra "gravitational pull" (the centrifuge force). In the simulated environ able to recreate extra g-forces, you would only need only keep the bicycle aligned to the "vertical", visually isolate it and replace the view in from of the cyclist with a tilting scenery.
(as a homework, examine how one can simulate imprecise taken turns and acceleration/braking).
Though if you *really* want to get rid of national debt, and if you're like me in the sense that you want to address the single root of a problem and not the hundreds of side-effects that spring from that root, then you need a currency system that isn't fundamentally based on debt...
This I'd like, though I don't think it is going to happen. You see, in a sane amount, debt is not bad: the problem is when the lifestyle switches totally on "living on the expense of the future" (apres moi, le deluge) and "access to credit is a human right".
However, what is(are) the alternative(s)? Personally, I like some elements in the 2001 winning essay of the Utopian World Competition (warning: quite a long essay, save the reading for leisure time).
If he wants any real respect, then yes. Politicians worthy of real respect can admit when something has failed and are willing to stop doing that failed thing and start doing something else.
One may think that getting out of Afghanistan and Iraq and start using part of the defense budget at home would mean enough of a proof.
At first I thought they were talking about left/right tilting for fast cornering... Now THAT would be hard to replicate on a stationary bike.
Theoretically, not so hard... just need to put the bike in an elevator synchronized for the extra centrifugal force (assuming that the cyclist doesn't circle a virtual roundabout forever).
5. Amazon Appstore is a disaster... When attempting to reply to a comment, the system replied with "You must purchase products before you can post comments." (i.e. where's you dialog with your customers?)
6. What's with the price? A short time after the above review arrived, Amazon changed the price of Apparatus to $0.99. We never discussed this change.
This does not surprise me. There is simply not enough actual hardware out there. I mean, more then enough idea's and prototypes. But nothing actually being sold in the stores or even online.
And I'm not talking about the absurdly priced Samsung type tablets, but normally priced GOOD hardware for around $300 through $400 range.
Show me good hardware that will run honeycomb now and one or two future versions for $350 and I'm aboard.
The main factor is that no one has a Xoom, while iPhone and iPad have major markets.
Just FYI (not commenting on your entire post): Xoom is not the only one featuring HoneyComb. See asus eee pad transformer rumors has it to have the same price tag as iPad (or $100 lower if only with 16 GB).
Buddy, that's just a question. I never experienced any (because I haven't own any Apple products), but I'm not saying that there aren't any, just asking.
The only signals that I have (from/.) are:
a. Apple products are expensive
b. Apple tries to dictate minimal prices in the event of promotions or "stock sale"
I have another question, if you are so kind: in comparison with other computer/smart-phone brands, how fast does Apple reduce the prices?
How interesting: It's software, it's free, and it's name Source, but it's not Free Software or Open Source. It's really a shame that with the thousands of words in the English language neither RMS nor Valve could come up with something more identifying.
After reading ^this, the only thing I think fits and that popped into my mind is: " but... does the Source itself want to be free?"
You do understand that unlike the rest of the First World countries the population of the US is growing by leaps and bounds?

Until you provide something else, let's look at some official data: "Net gain of one person every 13 seconds" with "1 birth every 8 seconds" and "1 new immigrant every 48 seconds" (i.e. 6 newborns for every immigrant)
To put the things into perspective: 1 new person every 13 seconds means approx 2,500,000/year. This means an annual growing rate of 0.78% for the over 311 mils of US. And you call it "leaps and bounds"? Gosh, similar calculations gives for Australia an annual growing rate of 1.43% - almost double the US (and I hope you will abstain to suggest that Australia is not a First World country).
We see it as a never-ending cycle in Arizona with stories about the latest rapist being caught after being deported 13 times and being deported again.
Ah, I see. If you think the illegal immigration is the reason for which the wiretap warrants number increased, read again TFS and ask yourself why the hell the most significant jump in wiretapping doesn't take place in Arizona, Texas or New Mexico, but in California, New York and New Jersey?
(I'm stopping short of suggesting that perhaps it would be a good idea for you to go back under the bridge?)
Essentially you are saying that the judges are required to issue separate warrants for tapping into mobile, internet, fixed phones and so on. Because this can be the only explanation for an increased number of wiretap requestsif the number of suspects remains pretty much the same but their communication diversify.
If there is a need of a single wiretap warrant per suspect (no matter how many channels they use) a 68% increase in wiretaps request can mean only that there is an 68% increase in the number of suspects. This increase can be real (if the criminality is growing) or imaginary (if the paranoia of the law enforcement is growing). Question is: which one you want to bet on?

....Germany would already have laws in place for out-of-control parties.
Huh? Really?

Better than a twat, don't you think?

So in general I enjoy the geek factor, but practical use seems limited; as with most things in life, I suppose.
Hang on! Don't go further... it is not a FA about iPhone, Android or Facebook.

Huh? What? Here's a hint.
we could always paint our roofs white.
Just keep away from my penthouse :)
Even more ironic: US measuring energy in British units... (like they never heard of FFF).
Btus? Can't we just stick to standards?
Kilo/Mega/Giga/Tera Watt hours in this case.
Joules.
Horse-power x fortnight
or better firkin x furlong ^2 / fortnight ^2
A BTU is a perfectly good standard..
...
Queue raging Ameri-hate.
Given the context, isn't it ironic that BTU stands for British thermal units?
But apart from that?
4. Impossible to send refund?

I still find the above compelling enough.
Rather a person with no Social Security ID, but still with a driving license. Cannot receive legal benefits, but is still able to drive.
The Honeycomb tablets currently in the market are expensive, many even more expensive than an iPad and yet less polished.
No..??!! You serious?
Guess I'll have to wait until Samsung and Asus release their new tablets and hope, they actually hit the shelves.
Rumors has that Asus had released theirs. So, you only have to hope now.
I posted almost 6 months ago complaining about searching in the market app. In the meantime, none of my complaints have been addressed.

Q: is /. a branch of Google's support? Otherwise I can't understand how would you expect Google to address your complains.

eee pad transformer. Granted, $399, a bit over your $350 bid.
We're waiting for an explosion.....of Honycomb devices.
What do you mean? Weak batteries again? Or do you think HoneyComb will be chosen as a vector for a terrorist attack?
(peace, brother, just kidding)

or maybe, once production is ramped up, prices will go down. Since that's what generally happens with new technology.
How many times you saw an Apple product's price going down?
