if you stop before the light, and inch forward bit by bit, you can trip a green light.
Creeping forward works (if there's no cross-traffic) on systems with multiple sensors because your motion makes it think there's more cars arriving thus giving your direction more "weight" and speeding up the cycle.
This is really, really old news!! There have been adaptive traffic lights for years (decades?). Most of them nowadays use cameras but some of the early ones using coils embedded in the road are still around.
(And no I'm not referring to the coils that are right at the light to detect waiting vehicles. You'll find the ones for adaptive systems between intersections at the midpoint of the block...).
So WTF, anyway? Is this guy related to Rip Van Winkle? He's got a hell of a lot more tech than that to discover out there!!!:)
Now why is the parent modded Offtopic when it is referring to tape drives and the topic of discussion is backup servers?
Hello? McFly? Apparently at least one moderator around here doesn't realise that a backup server might, (just might!), have a tape drive attached to it.
(I told Cmdr Taco giving mod points to crack monkeys was a mistake!! But did he listen to me? Heck no! Now we got the little buggers swinging from sigs and flinging mod points any old way!:)
...looking through the recent history of NYT article summaries, the recent ones don't look suspicious...
I did a search on "NYT" and read through the article summaries for the last six months or so and while I didn't actually go through the submitters there was a bit of a pattern, especially in those which had descriptive words for the coverage. E.g. "A well-written article", "excellent coverage", "cogent", "well-rounded" etc.
However, if I were a technologically inclined writer for the NYT looking to boost my standing I would probably look for any number of different ways to drive traffic to my articles.
Hrm, that brings up a good question - is there a pattern in the bylines of these stories?
(I'm at work. Anybody else wanna check?:)
Have you noticed that all of the NYT article summaries have the same writing style? Have you also noticed that the Slashdot User Info pages of all submitted NYT articles have an odd posting history?
Er, no, I haven't noticed that. Care to be more specific?:)

SCO.com Defaced

...the site is owned that they can't fix it.
Update: looks like somebody at SCO finally noticed. It's been fixed.
But knowing that they said it was better, that makes it better. right?
The difference is how much energy is involved per unit of water that is separated. Present technology (such as exercised in the chemistry class) is prohibitively inefficient when scaled up. And, hence, not cost-effective.
Not to mention that 70% of our power these days is from coal-burning plants so we're really not reducing pollution any at all, just changing the source.
All they're really trying to do here is make the separation process more energy efficient and scalable...
3) 2D SDRAM PCI card with contracts with board makers for such thing as blade servers and servers who need minmal video support.
$50-100 dollars.
Er, only problem is this market is already served by generic $20 cards.
Personally, I've never paid more than $50 for a video card and I doubt I ever will. This goes for everyone I know both personally and professionally because, as unlikely as it might seem here on/., a substantial portion of the rest of the world could care less about games.
In the business arena there are only two concerns: reliability and cost. (Granted, there should be a third - compatibility, but it rarely makes an appearance.:)
So yeah, since $100 was the lowest amount I didn't sign the petition...:(
Compiere doesn't do any of the stuff that was requested!
Slight correction, it does do the billing and provides rudimentary support for notation.
Now if there were a package that did all the rest and integrated with Compiere that would be very cool.
Oh, yeah, and ditch the Windows file server! (WTF?WTF?WTF?OMGBBQ!)
Uh, WTF? Compiere doesn't do any of the stuff that was requested!
Granted, the poster shouldn't have used the term "ERP" since that has a very different meaning from a financial perspective (which is appropriate to Compiere).
What they should have said was "asset management" since that what is really what is being described.
Unless you consider Mormonism a cult... Heh!:)
Actually, they are large enough and been around long enough that they are considered a "denomination".
Here's a good description of the different terms for religious groups.
Slashdot Mirror
Is Slashdot posting Howto's now?
:|
Or did an editor slip up (never!) and hit the "post this" button instead of the "delete" button?
I hate being this confused on a Monday morning...

Whew! Yer darn lucky it was only on instead of in, otherwise it might be a reproductive box!!
(Oh, and be sure to test that code throughly - girls don't like bugs anywhere near their boxes...!)

Also a consideration in tape drive head alignment.

'Course around here that might translate to high praise.

What you all don't realize, is that Intel is the #1 manufacturer of NOR based flash memory.
And the portion of Intel's profits stemming from this doesn't even warrant a line item in their financial breakdown. STFU troll!

It's only business when someone burgles your house, too. Most of us still take it personally.

Er, that's also Novell's stomping grounds...
And there's more cults in CA than UT...
