Unsprung vs sprung weight was literally a homework assignment in an introductory engineering class. It was a toy problem at that, mainly used to teach us how to use the mechanical simulation software.
Why do people still get moderated informative when they lie about the Obama campaign doing the same thing? The article you link to refutes your claim and its own thesis.
The Obama campaign: a) said it was collecting data instead of doing something else, b) said it was the campaign and that it was collecting the data for the campaign, instead of pretending to be some other organization doing something else for some other purpose, c) made it obvious what it was collecting, and d) collected the data only when the user volunteered it after deliberately downloaded the app.
I am tired of the continuing lie that the US DoJ got a warrant against a foreign entity. The warrant named Microsoft USA, which is an entity wholly within the jurisdiction of the United States. Microsoft USA was ordered to turn over data that Microsoft USA said was within its control. Either Microsoft USA was lying about having the data within it's control or it was deliberately flouting the order to turn over the data.
It just so happened that the reason that Microsoft USA could not turn over the data is that it moved the data to Microsoft Ireland which is under the jurisdiction of EU law which did not allow that particular data to be sent back under those particular circumstances. However, Microsoft Ireland and EU law are not relevant to the US DoJ. That Microsoft USA lost control of the data that they claimed to control is relevant to the US DoJ and it should be relevant to customers of Microsoft USA. Microsoft USA desperately wants to obscure the fact that by transferring things to offshore business entities they might lose control of the data of their paying customers.
"2001 is a prime example of a movie that doesn't age well.... I'll never forget the spaceship landing scene where a model of a space ship descends at a glacial pace towards a moon base or something while music builds and build and builds... until nothing happens and we cut to the next scene."
The point of that scene was to show how banal space travel had become by 2001. Looks like it does still hold up.
Life was significantly *different* in the old days. But in the old days you would have grown up around adults who were performing under those conditions and learned from them over your entire life, not just dropped in cold.
"Stop using twitter, problem solved" A URL in Twitter counts as 23 characters no matter the length of the actual URL, so URL length is not a problem in Twitter.
"Email isn't Twitter. There is no reason to not use the full link" Even in Twitter there's no reason not to use a full link. Twitter already adds it own layer of URL shortener, and a URL counts as 23 characters no matter the actual length.
"China can even the playing field by dropping their own tariffs. If not, well. . . too fucking bad. They have the means to fix this, they just elect not to."
The stated reason for the US tariffs is intellectual property theft, not offsetting Chinese tariffs.
'At a lot of these places, the term "power outage" actually doesn't make sense - the population have never experienced more than a brief flicker of light. '
I.E. the pedestrian that has already entered the roadway does not have to yield to vehicles. This is analogous to a vehicle already in an signaled intersection when the light turns red has the right of way even though a vehicle may not enter the intersection after the light turns red.
However, clause (b) of the Georgia law you link to does identify a case where a pedestrian already in the roadway must yield to a vehicle.
10 seconds of power loss is still fatal to wafers in process. Toshiba had a power loss of *70 milliseconds* at a fab in December 2010, that caused material loss and a measurable drop in flash output in the following two months.

"Americans will never learn a PIN number"
Americans use PINs for debit cards reasonably well.
Either put on trial, or run for president.

You could have done the math yourself.

In Soros's case, that would be pretty much none.

If you already knew it worked perfectly, you wouldn't need to test it.

It's a crack several miles long that wasn't there a couple of weeks ago. That is, in fact, pretty damn sudden.

Don't worry, Facebook has an account to keep track of your data anyway.
Every single contact I have on Facebook is someone I know in real life.
"It may be nice to copy good ideas but some manufacturers also insist in copying the bad ones. e.g.: Headphone jack removal"
Android phones without a headphone jack predate the iPhone removal.
Deleting your facebook account is easy for people with no friends.
Idiot. Do you not understand OOP?
You declare the variable as the superclass when you want polymorphism. In ChatHuant's example, only inheritance is desired.
If China's trade barriers are so egregious, how do they manage a trade deficit with 4 of their 5 largest trading partners?

So one company captured over 1% of the worldwide market selling no units at less than $249.

And yet they still build fabs in the USA.
There are 30 states of emergency in effect at the federal level. Take your pick.
