You had Ethernet cables? Luxury! We had damp strings between the phones! We didn't have modems, we had to make the noise ourselves! A terrible racket it was, but we were happy with it!
In which state would this be the case? In Virginia, all it took to get a motorcycle license was a few bucks, a photo, a permanent address, a written test a 3rd grader could wing and a ride around the block. In Sweden, where you are subjected to a full day of practical driving tests (in addition to the mandatory half day navigating a hazard course with either real or simulated ice on the road) after completing the 100-question written exam, there is still no such thing as education on how to control a vehicle if the front tire blows.
I'd actually be interested in knowing if it's even possible to give general advice on what to do in that situation. I've had a rear tire blow once (on a bike doing 140 kph) but never a front.
the vast majority of accidents are caused by human error and not mechanical failure
Mechanical failure can easily be bundles in with the human errors - after all, humans designed, built and maintaned the road, roadside and car. If a deer runs up on the road, a human didn't shoot it the previous hunting season. Right?
Not to mention trying to ACK the received packets/droplets... I wonder what transfer speeds he gets, around 1 dps[1] maybe? Would it be possible to modulate the droplets to achieve higher speeds? Or add a squirt gun to pass water upwards/sideways? The possibilities for getting really wet are endless!
I think this is an attempt to put a good-for-the consumer spiel on something that would primarily be used by law enforcement.
Swedish car maker SAAB (owned by GM) has developed a system like this for their own use. Both Volvo and SAAB have had their own crash investigation teams for many years now, using data they gather from crash sites to build better cars (for the good of mankind and the advancements of their profits at the same time). There's been a minor debate in Sweden regarding the privacy issues and the current stand is that SAAB will not share the data with insurance companies or the cops unless directly ordered to do so by a court of law (not very likely to happen since our legal system actually works fairly well).
Why do you assume a blow out will cause an accident?
Because they often (not always) do. A little over a year ago, not so far from here, a truck rammed into a school bus and killed six kids because the truck's front tire blew out.
Why do you assume blow outs don't cause accidents just because you got lucky once?
Oh God, I can smell a crib case mod coming up. With hay fluttering in the breeze, sticking out of the fan and three Fedex guys bringing Athlons, DDR RAM and water cooling pipes while admiring the neon light in the east.
I've copied a few partitions from within PartitionMagic with no problems, but PM's kinda touchy about some partition tables and the version I got (7) won't touch ext3. I've just used Ghost this once, but like I said, using the sector-by-sector mode locally (I have Lian-Li removable IDE bays on both workstations) was a no-brainer. Haven't tried image files or the network stuff (yet).
I can now beat any speeding ticket by claiming to have the equivalent of more than one car!
I do so NOT want to pay insurance for the truckload of motorcycles I would have to claim... I'd rather just pay the fines (or "fun tax" as I like to call them.:-)

Ghost. I recently changed my workstations from 18GB IBM SCSI to 80GB Seagate IDE Barracudas (a lot quieter for starters) and just Ghosted the old partitions (2G FAT16 for DOS6.22 and some recovery stuff, a 5G NTFS5 for WinXP, two ext3 partitions (Gentoo/boot and/root) and two more games and storage NTFS5 partitions) using an old Norton Ghost 2000 or 2001 (don't remember which, the box is in the office). It didn't grok the NTFS5 and ext3 partitions so I just ran it in sector-by-sector mode (-ia). No worries.

When there are no ordinary citizens with camcorders around.
Seriously, Microsoft will go after him, just like Adobe tried with Dmitri.
I wish I could mod you +10 Funniest sig this year. :-D
I sense a case mod in here somewhere. :-)
Eeeexactly.
Controlling a blowout is basic driver's ed.

Care to leave some room for the sidebar? Or maybe for the people that actually do not run their browser in full-screen mode all the time?
Try this one. They are a web hosting/design company... (Warning: The page RESIZES your browser window to roughly 800x600.)
Only downside is 1280x1024 res
I'd really like the 1600x1200 since that's what I'm used to (19" ViewSonic GS790) today.
A friend of mine has one of these babies. 20" Dell flat screen @ 1600x1200 for under $850 USD.
It's out, but it's a really expensive upgrade / TC-mod to GirlFriend.
I really tried to resist, but in the end, my evil side won. Sorry about that.
Note to self: Stop creating monsters.
What Christmas?
Are you really? Or did someone else beat you to it? ;-)
You're among nerds here. The space counts. :-)
