  2. , what happens when some idiot ... on Honda Crash Detection System · · Score: 1

    A hit from the rear isn't as bad as crashing into the car infront, and you can claim against his insurance.

    Unless your sliding down a mountain path rally style the system will work.

  3. Re:Being cut up on Honda Crash Detection System · · Score: 1

    It would depend upon the aproach speed of the two vehicles.
    The the car that cut you up was traviling faster than you then nothing would happen.

    If you got gut up and the driver slammed on the breaks then the system should kick in.

  4. it should be easy.... on Honda Crash Detection System · · Score: 1

    I'm aproaching somthing at X MPH (radar can do that).
    I'm traviling ay Y MPH (easy enough)

    My breaking distance is Z miles (based on Y, how good the breaks are and the weight of the car)

    Chances are that if your approach speed is to high for your breaking distance then you going to crash.

  6. I have 6 usb2 ports on USB 1.1 Renumbered To USB 2? · · Score: 2, Informative

    But 4 of them use UHCI controlers(usb 1.1) and the other two EHCI (usb 2).

    It was handy since Linux doesn't work to well with USB2.

    The USB implementation in the 2.5 kernel is buggy, if you want it fixed give greg on the linux usb mailing list some grief until he accepts patches.

    Mozilla doesn't have native NTLM support it uses the NTLM support built into windows.

  8. Fight or Flight. on Working with ADHD? · · Score: 1

    It is my belief that psychosis and depression are only disabilities in our current culture.

    Classically there are two responses to a negative stimulus, Fight and Flight. But what happens when you can't fight or leave, or if you want to think about things? the negative stimulus stays and you develop psychosis and depression.

  11. Leave society and become a hermit... on More Incompatible DVDs and CDs Coming Your Way · · Score: 1

    I tried, but unfortunatly, I don't even own the ground I walk on, I'd be quite happy to start up a commune if it wasn't so expensive to do so and get taxed just for living.

    Thousands of years ago ,or less than 100 in some parts of the world, you could be free without being a hermit.

    The comment initially came from the language used in the story.

    "The technology that makes this possible -- known as digital rights management, or DRM -- will forever change the way we CONSUME media and software, experts believe. "

    M use requires nothing to be created or destroyed so I don't consume.

    In the beginning I was free.

    Now I'm a consumer, and all my rights are under control.

  13. passing the buck.... on Microsoft Backs Down on Windows 2000 EULA · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I should imagine that Microsoft's legal people thought that the original clause may make Microsoft liable for any security vulnerabilities in components that connect to the internet without consent.
    The new clause tells the user that the feature can be disabled, passing all responsibility from Microsoft to the user.

    I've never had that problem, so long as the printer's been properly configured in windows.

    Windows likes to kep the paper size in Letter instead of A4 format and different margins are going to screw things.
