I hate it when people camp beside me. You are supposed to stagger out so you have room to maneuver if something happens. This is where speeding is required to get the heck away from stupid people. I speed when I spot suv wielding idiots on their cell phones with a kid their head out the window and dogs jumping from seat to seat.
I tend to downshift a gear and just let the engine exhaust blare near cell phone using drivers. Anything over 3000 rpm the truck emits plenty of noise that I cant carry on a phone conversation in my own cab (therefore I quit answering calls years ago--if you get voicemail oh well). I may carry a bluetooth headset, but I use it while carrying on with tasks at home or at work.
Tailgating prevention is really needed, it happens to me all too often. I got rear-ended once when a semi decided he was going to cut off 3 lanes of traffic to make a right hook turn on a freeway feeder amongst moderate traffic. I had to stop so hard the abs corrected the left front wheel then smoothed out next thing I know abs is kick all 4 tires after a lexus goes up under my right rear corner and picks up the truck. The guy had bald tires and thought he could lane change faster than stopping. His momentum carried us almost into hitting another vehicle.
Also need something to keep nut jobs from cutting right in front of you after they pass you.
Heck just throw everything out, tell everyone to hang up, grow up and drive reasonably, use signals and keep their vehicles maintained.
Yep. The snap to road thing is annoying. If I go under an overpass and have to stop while under the overpass my gps will snap to the HOV lane which I never take. The GPS virtual car gets trapped in the HOV and tries signaling me to get off at weird points and reroute my entire route wrong. Joe user might not know the road as well as I do or know how screwy the gps is to know when to ignore it.
I end up using my GPS only for the last 10 miles in urban areas and to get out to the highway.
I agree, I hear all the echos. I cant understand people talking if there are too many echos in a room. I'll have to visually focus on them or ask to go somewhere with less echo in order to converse.
When I was a teen, I worked with the church operating the sound board. I could usually hear feedback before the adults could and start cutting and trimming eq to try to kill it without sacrificing the volume for the mix before it becomes a problem. Usually the hyper-cardioid mics over the choir needed adjusting because the minister of music would swing them out of position for larger choir groups and swing them back for smaller groups thus moving them between monitors fields.
Sleep deprived driving is scary. I have a hard time staying awake sometimes while driving home from work or to work if I'm really lacking sleep. I've taken to eating sunflower seeds on the way home from work to keep me awake. It's a scarier drive to be driving sleepy on the way home as it is rush hour traffic. Mornings, I usually do ok till the last 8 miles, but traffic gets thick then and I have to sit up and pay more attention then. Sometimes I challenge myself to cut through traffic, changing lanes to keep me looking around.
Yep it's too hot in Texas to ride bike reasonably. Im sweaty and stinky by the time I get home and I drive a light pickup with a small cab, tinted windows and a/c. It's hot just leaving the parking lot and hot sitting in traffic till I get to the suburbs and drive 60-65mph where the a/c starts being efficient.
No.. wrong way... dont charge to view, charge to post content. Otherwise viewers will just wander away. The good content providors will have the dosh to pay for higher video quality postings. This will also cut down on the creators of low quality content and infringements because people posting content will think twice about putting something up if they have to pay to upload it. I keep noticing how many duplicate videos there are on youtube differing in quality. You dont see the same thing on flickr or at least I havent noticed it.
Could go with flickr's design, limit videos to 3 a month for free and require a pay subscription in order to unlock more uploads/mo.
I wonder if putting the payload into a rotation around the shaft of the elevator would help with stabalization, or two rings running opposing directions. I also wonder how the base would be attached, after enough length of elevator shaft, you may end up with centrifical force pulling the entire thing off the earth. Another thought, by putting it on one side of the earth, would it alter the axis of the earth or would oceans end up balacing it out?
The more I think about the space elevator, the more I think it's a bad idea and only workable in sci fi novels.
I agree with the tag. I have a xbox 360, lasted 3 months. Last night after playing a dvd the video went bad at the power down menu and has not came back. I spent half an hour trouble shooting. Defective by design, I belive so. Innefective cooling = dead components. The gpu probably has fried.
The guy ought to go to using commercial accounts and financial software compatible with his bank that allows him to issue check numbers and amounts authorized as batches. That's how accounting does it.
Google the email addresses individually, learn who their customers are and contact them in another manner, individually. Im sure out of a few hundred email addresses you can actually find a few with other contact details listed somewhere on some website.
We must have a good voip system.. Our entire shop is ran by a pbx on a voip over cable system. That also includes the three fax machines on three separate lines on the pbx. One goofball knocks out a main switch and we lose all internet, email and phones. The faxes normally run just fine except to one company who has some hp all in one fax printer scanner contraption that they say has trouble with faxing a few other companies as well. We have a cheap laser brother fax and a gigantic ricoh all in one copier/fax/scanner. I also know these faxes are on the pbx because I randomly give out my phone extension as my fax number (accidentally) and just forward the call to the fax's extension on the pbx. Works like a charm.
I have the shortest piece of code that is running on a number of computers I have cleaned up. I usually go through computer's startups and add c:\norun.bat to the beginning lines of anything that I dont think is useful at startup in autoexec, the registry run keys and a number of other odd places. I then just write a zero byte file named norun.bat in the root directory. It gets called with the offending program as arguments. It has no instructions and does absolutely nothing. It is essentially/dev/null executable for dos/windows machines.
With an ups, when the grid is up, you will not use any battery power/solar power. When the grid is down, you use the battery/solar. When grid is up the ups usually charges the battery too.
Not anywhere what the OP wants.
OP wants to be able to sell off excess power while the grid is up, and use some of the power himself. Ideally disconnect local generation from power grid when power grid goes down and only locally run on the local generation.
We are talking the difference between pic microcontrollers and a beowolf cluster.
Im considering setting up some outdoor lighting like this but feed it solar by battery. I dont need much lighting and may just consider doing dc only with a short run.
Blah, have they even looked at street view? The images obtained are a joke. Unless the vehicle drive right up within 15 ft of something the images are grossly unfocused beyond 15 ft.
You've got it all wrong.... You build the replicator then charge the people that own ip on things to allow their stuff to be duplicated with your replicator!

Aren't there shareware systems that work like that? Enter a registration key to unlock all features.

Is this what the graphics department is talking about bump mapping?

Have you tried changing the Gnome or KDE Theme manager?
Clarify? Could ask the same about windows.

Look into the restricted drivers. There might be one available for your chips.
I got mine for 24 bucks at palm harbor, an import hardware store.
I've seen them at frys for 29.
A coconut tree is a tropical plant so it would have to be african kW.

Use their list, but use it in another manner.

Step 1: Build replicator
Step 2: Arrange replication contracts...
Step 3: ?
Step 4: ?
Step 5: Profit!?!?
