Speeding is travelling to quickly for the prevailing conditions. That speed may or may not be above the speed limit, whatever it is set to.
The speed limit is not "the safe speed". It is the legal limit of speed. Just because you are legally permitted to travel at up to 30mph on a street, doesn't mean it's safe to do so.
Take a look at any speed limited (typically ~70mph or ~120kph) motorway in Europe, take a look at German Autobahn without speed limit... Same. I would hardly describe them as special. I'll also point out that the unlimited autobahns are not 100% unlimited or separated from other autobahns. They are simply sections of the regular autobahn which are without speed limit, and those sections have no worse Killed or Seriously Injured figures than any other section; once you get past 50mph it doesn't really make a difference, you are mince anyway.
There is really nothing terribly strange about it. Lane discipline and driver alertness are generally good because unless you are doing 150mph, there *will* be someone coming up behind you at 150+.
Having said that... 80mph, 150mph. How much time are you really saving? I mean, how often do you do Berlin to Frankfurt, and wouldn't you rather use an ICE instead? At least you get to relax and do something other than stare at motorway.
Well, that's the key isn't it. You have to have a market which understands and cares about quality. So far, there isn't really any evidence for that. The evidence is generally for faster/cheaper.
What market exists for quality is only sufficient to sustain some old 19th century technologies.
However, the behaviour was predicted in 1912 by a non Nobel winning economist who remains out of fashion, largely because he says you can't have a cake, and eat it as well. Something which doesn't go down too well when the elites are trying to keep the plebs in line.
English is missing a third person singular - unknown/indeterminate gender personal pronoun. "he" is masculine, "she" is feminine, "it" is impersonal. "They" is plural.
There's something missing from the language.
It comes about from dropping cases over time. Or you could always use "sheit" instead.
ignorance and vanityfirst there were spirits everywhere, then as we learned to understand the world, these became pantheons of gods, then as we learned more, reduced to the one god. God is then just our ignorance of the world and the vanity of those who cannot answer 'i do not know'.
Leave the country, move somewhere with a 21st century mobile infrastructure. Learn to smoke, casually. Lose weight. Wear better clothes. Talk with an accent. Use a Nokia.
Most developers simply drop their application scalability problems down to the DB layer and/or OS layer. Then bitch that those DBAs are dumbasses, the DB server doesn't scale.
So, that might give you an idea what they think good quality map data is worth. They're putting GPS and Ovi Maps into every new phone.
Google are out driving the streets, correcting and putting stuff on top of Tele Atlas data. Also an expensive proposition.
Mapping, is expensive.
Here's the thing. What is a map for? To find out where you are and what's round about you. So... In an urban context, people are looking for things like public transport, restaurants, shops, each other etc etc.Golden opportunity to put advertising services on top of the map data. Hence Google, an advertising company.
What does Nokia get out of it? Well, they already have a handset in every pocket. Add a GPS, and you have a massive geolocation system.
How do you make money as OpenStreetMap to keep running? Get in touch with the Open Directory project http://www.dmoz.org/ they have a directory of things, you have a directory of places.
boot the server to a ramdisk. That way you know it is byte for byte identical.put all configuration in svn and distribute it using cfengine or similar.you get guaranteed identical performance . An os image can be as little as 100mb using a normal distribution.

Business 101 teaches us that "cheap shit drives good shit out of the market"
That's down to the national culture.
Actually I have a theory it's related to the true rate of inflation (as opposed to the published level) within an economy.
If there is a market for it.
Well, that's the key isn't it. You have to have a market which understands and cares about quality. So far, there isn't really any evidence for that. The evidence is generally for faster/cheaper.

Yes it is. It introduces ambiguity and makes communication more difficult. In a language, that is broken behaviour.
Other languages have the required set.Or they have explicit cases where the ambiguity is removed. English has long since lost the cases.
It was funny. Laugh.
it is missing a required pronoun.

What can I say.
Leave the country, move somewhere with a 21st century mobile infrastructure.
Learn to smoke, casually.
Lose weight.
Wear better clothes.
Talk with an accent.
Use a Nokia.
In short, become European. Life is better.
Most developers simply drop their application scalability problems down to the DB layer and/or OS layer. Then bitch that those DBAs are dumbasses, the DB server doesn't scale.
americans are still using imperial measurements .

doh. digital cameras would have bombed in 1975... And for 20 years after . Go look up the word ' market '. jesus , geeks are so narrow..
Imagine the meeting. Sitting round the table and the next item on the agenda is insurgency and road side bombs.
How do we avoid the casualties?
The best answer?
"I know! We make the humvees fly!"
Everything else is small potatoes.
actually micheloß pronounced michelossenglish could do with a spelling revamp . 42 phonemes and 1400 different spellings .
lots of them around . They typically aim for positions of power .
have skype already . Have wifi already . Have maps which know local businesses already .so why are they doing this?they are building a network effect

The US dollar is backed by Saudi oil. US world dominance is dependent on this.
Something like 3%. it is horrendously expensive for that 3%.
