If a Sun CD-ROM works, then you might need to change a jumper on a commodity drive, to select 512 byte sectors. (You did with 1990s Sun hardware like the SS20).
You should report your county-line call drops if they are repeatable. Unless there is no reception at all, calls should not drop; they should hand off from cell to cell.
I go away for a couple of weeks every year where there is no cell coverage, and I just get an Iridium "pay as you go" card. Coverage anywhere you can see the sky, including low earth orbit.
Cars are now largely controlled by CAN bus - Controller Area Network - or similar tech. This is kind of like an ethernet LAN in many regards, but not running TCP (something a little more like IPX, but it's a priority-arbitrated bus mastering system). Every thing on the bus is a node in the network, so if I had to take a wild guess, I'd say that probably the brake pedal position sensor reports its position via one set of messages, the throttle pedal position sensor reports its position via another, and so on.
To continue my completely wild speculation, I'd guess that the data recorder is probably your basic packet sniffer.
So, in order for the problem you describe to occur, the brake pedal and throttle pedal sensors would BOTH have to fail at the same time, in complementary ways, and somehow un-fail again later. The probability of that happening is probably very, very small. Probably even smaller given that the throttle sensors probably continued to update continuously due to jitter (induced by vehicle vibration, driver imperfection). And even smaller yet given the braking system is almost certainly still backed up by a direct hydraulic connection (otherwise, the brakes would stop working when engine vacuum failed, which I believe is not allowed to happen by FMVSS).
No, I think his joke is that not only are they beating a dead horse, they're taking a perfectly good horse, ignoring compiler warnings, and killing it first.
His second point is that gnu-c-style style looks funny no matter the context.

If that had happened, it's possible that the MAFIAA would have authorized the creation of good music after 1990. As it stands now, they are still sampling copyrighted music from the 1970s and 1980s for their new "works".
Minor nit -- it's not that you need a different phone to get tethering, you need a better carrier.
My Rogers iPhone works just fine for tethering. All I have to do is turn Internet Tethering on in the preferences, then plug it into the sync cable. Leopard pops up a dialog box which says something like "Hey! New Ethernet Interface found; would you like to use it?" -- click Ok, disable any other active network interface (or tweak your routing table) and bam: you're surfing on 3G.
I don't know how to do it in Windows, but it can't be much harder.
We're doing out-of-browser JavaScript (à la CommonJS) and want to move into the web server at some point -- sort of like mod_perl, or maybe mod_php. An experienced PHP coder knows the web-server/CMS/package-system/yadda-yadda-yadda ropes, and you already know the core language -- but you don't have to put up with the DOM... making JavaScript fun again.
We've got lots of rough edges, a dearth of documentation, no release candiates (soon), but a solid core product that is used daily by a handful of folks to do Real Work. The right outside developer(s) could push this project into a being a major hit by scratching the FOSS community's itches, rather than our own.
I answer nearly ever pollster that calls me. Note that I tell telemarketers to fuck off, but pollsters can have 15-20 minutes of my day almost any time -- and if I'm busy, they'll call me back at whatever time I tell them I'll be free next.
I think it's important to have my opinion counted, especially when they're asking me what kind of food I want in my local supermarket. You know those nutritious, tasty, inexpensive frozen dinners we've been seeing more and more of? Yeah, you're welcome.
I didn't read TFA, but strabismus (which I have, BTW -- severely until surgery at age 8) isn't going to be caused by these glasses. What's COULD happen is that somebody who wears these for long a time at too early an age might not learn how to fuse images properly in their brain, which means stereoscopic vision never develops normally.

I don't understand. Under what basis can they bring a lawsuit? It is not illegal to treat the federal government the same as all your other customers!
Not just in the US, also in Canada.
And it had an extra K of RAM!
I've thought that this must be the way it works, too.
Kind of like Mercurial.

I saw an outfit like that a couple of years ago, I didn't even realize they were selling car washes at first.
It turns, "Hand Job" is also a method of washing cars. Whodathunkit?

From an anonymous computer in the library, e-mail your old e-mail account a picture of yourself playing in the tub at age 3.
Wait for them to access your e-mail account again.
Call the police, and report an incident of downloaded child porn.
They will get your laptop back FOR you.

Somebody should send some to the SCOX lawsuit principals.

You'd miss me, then.
I took forever, because I was holding a full-time job, either in my field or a closely related field, the entire time I went to school.
That, and I find it very difficult to go to boring classes, so I'd take them, drop them, take them, drop them, ad nauseum.

Now, you sound like a perfect candiate for my project, GPSEE -- http://code.google.com/p/gpsee.

Not a bad idea. Radio-controlled neck rings already exist, Pet Smart makes a pretty good one.

So, how's the view from the closet?
0x401a70 - 0x001a70 = 0x400000
So, yes, they differ by one bit.
