Brakes are nice too. unless you're planning to go slow enough to brake with your foot.
All of which are required by law, and would obviously be features. In all fairness, though, cars do need many of the sensors in order to keep the engine running at peak efficiency, thanks to fuel injection. And if you say you'd rather have carburettors anyway, you've clearly never owned a carburetted vehicle for any length of time. Ultimately, data is good, and more sensors means more data.
Most college students purchase a computer before their freshman year and intend it to last throughout their entire four year program. That means they are still at home, still largely unphased by the costs of college, and living far more dependently on their parents' income than they will on campus.
I really don't understand how those sentences are logically connected. I agree that I bought my laptop with the intent of using it for the duration of college, but I don't see why that implies that I live at home, mooching off my parents. I'd actually say that most of the people I know who mooch off their parents a lot tend to go through a new computer every year.
I'd be more concerned with handling in corners, with the extra battery weight. Going fast in a straight line is a simple trick, anyone can do it. It takes a lot of engineering effort to make a car turn well.
I understand that the device couldn't reasonably store all of Wikimedia Commons, but then it certainly can't hold all of Wikipedia either. Obviously, there would need to be some editorial work to make sure that the included information is useful, and I think that, while the effort is being put in, good photos to illustrate articles could be a very valuable addition.
I'm not entirely sure where you're disagreeing with me. I'm not saying that I want them to use old National Geographic articles, I'm saying that the format is good for drawing people in to the reading. The format doesn't require that the device be massive (though it certainly would require more storage), and it certainly doesn't need to be out-of-date.
The wikipedia articles are alright, but it seems to me that having photos with short articles would make this much more compelling. After all, people don't love reading old copies of national geographic just for the articles. The pictures are generally what make it interesting and exciting, which is exactly how we want to portray learning to third-world children.
The case has nothing to do with who was being put in danger. To be fair to the rider, he has accepted the consequences of his speeding. The problem here is that the officer refuses to admit that his behavior was not appropriate to the situation, and is now trying to destroy the evidence of his mistake.
If I remember correctly from a previous posting about this case, the officer claimed he pulled the gun because the rider was backing away from the car. Personally, I'd do the same thing if an unmarked car pulled in front of me like that. This rider can consider himself lucky for having such a calm, collected response, though. He could have easily panicked and put his hands up. That would have made the bike lurch forward as the clutch engaged, which easily could have resulted in him getting shot.
Most of the Planet can't even change their oil or tune of their car! ( And yes, I can do both )
I'm really curious what you mean when you say "change [the] tune of their car". It's a rather broad statement, much like if you were to say they can't program their computers. While it doesn't compare to what a professional does, it can't be argued that writing a simple program in basic is "programming your computer". To the same effect, "tuning your car" could mean anything from changing the air filter to a high-flow model to developing a custom high-performance fuel injection system and grinding new cam profiles to maximize bsfc while maintaining horsepower. And there I'm just restricting myself to the engine.
What I'm trying to say is, programmers play an important role in the development of many things, but don't discount the engineers that provide the advances in hardware, the designers who make it useful and attractive to the consumer, and the countless others involved in the process. There just aren't any major single-discipline projects in industry anymore; it's all about specialization.
Not really. The viewing angle hasn't changed, but rather the way that the glasses and screen interact. On a 120Hz screen, you could manage two full-screen players at the same time. Each player's glasses would block their sight when the screen is showing the other player's content. On a 240Hz screen, each of the two people's eyes would be assigned a frame in a four-frame sequence that allows each person to see two different images, just as with 3D. It doesn't really have anything to do with viewing angles, but rather frame sequencing.
YaST is a good enough system overall, but the software management feels like an last-minute addition. The only system I've used that's slower and more frustrating for me than openSuSE's is "Add/Remove Programs" in Windows. It just can't compete with apt or portage, on any level.
Along with cost, durability needs to be taken into consideration. If it costs more, but lasts longer, it isn't too much of a problem. If it breaks apart more easily, especially in colder climates, you could be looking at replacing a road more frequently and at a higher cost.
I think he did. "Elevated partial pressure" refers to an abnormally high concentration of one ideal gas in a mixture of them; in this case, oxygen in the air you are breathing. In this case, it has nothing to do with the total pressure.
Those people have the right to use the road, but that doesn't give them the right to recklessly block the road from being used by others, especially if that use is to escape from a life-threatening situation. At that point they become as much of a reckless driver as someone texting while driving or going excessively fast.

If we run low, the law of supply and demand should make it prohibitively expensive to waste the stuff on parties and get-well balloons.
RTFS, dammit. The law of supply and demand is not at work here because the government is making the price artificially low.

I'm shocked! I had installed it thinking it would defrag my hard drive.
That's ridiculous. If it did that, there wouldn't be a linux version!

Actually, a negative film's higher exposure latitude would make it a much better choice for this.

Somehow blaming Google for this (or making a snark about an "open OS") isn't appropriate at all.
That's why we're blaming Motorola, the ones making the locked-down hardware. The OS is absolutely not the problem here.
I believe a more appropriate response would have been, "Woosh".

I don't care if I sound like a troll: Fuck Avatar.
Every minute spent watching these is a minute not spent watching the expensive pro stuff.
Or, instead of watching TV, you could get out and enjoy the real world.

You say that like you're well experienced in the matter.
Not an expert, but I do know that ultrasound is only good at solid, soft tissue. Bones and gas-filled areas cause weird echoes and distortion that lower the image's resolution.
...but Dec21,2012, is a little too close to the end of a long solar slumber to be completely ignored.
I disagree, I'm not having any trouble ignoring it at all.
What if I've always felt that urge?
