Of course they're not everywhere, but there are places where there the strobe sensors are installed. It's not the lightbars - they vary too much. Instead it's a special strobe, often infrared.
. Decent studio equipment will still set you back $50,000 (we're talking good mics, 32 digital tracks, digital console, mixdown equipment, D/A converters, etc).
You don't need such expensive equipment. Michelle Shocked recorded the Texas Campfire tapes on a walkman. Made #1 in the independant charts.
The light sensors aren't for ordinary traffic, they're for emergency vehices to get a green light sooner. Except they don't just respond to any old lights, they've got to be pluse-time encoded the right way. In other words, you've got virtually no chance of triggering them with high beams.
I know a little about gorillas (see userid). A 794 lb gorilla would be a HUGE gorilla. Average weight for males is about 300-400lbs (135kg to 180 kg), females about half this. They obtain this at about age 12 for males, or 7 for females.
My father tells of a story, back in the early 1970's when a majority of people still smoked. He had a meeting with a goverment offical, they were smoking, and the offical ran out of cigarettes. My father offered one of his, and a few weeks later he got an offical letter of complaint about attempting to bribe the offical.
I have a whole pile of CD's in the office, which I listen to on CD-ROM. Perfectly legal. If I can't expect to do this when I buy a new CD, then I'm simply going to stop buying new CDs.

There was a proposal for the 1982 Knoxville World's Fair to do this from a satellite and have the microwave beam land on a mesh reciever.
I've gotta say, I love the idea of fueling stations that need nothing more than sunlight, water and a compressor to generate the product, though.
Won't happen. Electrolysis of Water to produce hydrogen is hideously inefficent. No commerical production of hydrogen is done this way, it's almost all steam reforming of methane. Good link on the process here. The only likely alternative source of hydrogen in the future is bioengineered alge, such as described here. However this is probably still decades away from displacing steam reformation as the primary source of hydrogen.
The first transatlantic communications were telegraph, starting on August 16 1858, with the message "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth, peace, good will to men."
Unfortunatly this cable failed after only 3 weeks. A cable laid in 1866 by the Great Eastern remained in operation until 1872, but since there were other cables in operation by then, there has been continous transatlantic communication since 1866.
I'd say that 6 out of 6 people could benefit from accessibility technology. You see, even though the disabled need accessibility, but we all benefit when it's included. If you make a program speech enabled, then it's possible to use that program over a telephone. If a program can be configured to use large fonts, it can be used on an LCD display. If a program has keyboard shortcuts for mousable operations, then we can use the program without taking our fingers off the keyboard.
It's still the case. The Eastern Orthodox recognizes Patriach Bartholomew I as it's equvilant to pope, and just as John Paul II is the eventual successor to Martin V, Bartholomew I is the eventual successor to Dionysius I.
They have had the vote, and Stallman is not going to be on the board. The register has the story, and Gnome has the results. Stallman got 50 votes, putting him 18th, out of 11 places available. The board will therefore be:
JAMES HENSTRIDGE (125 votes)
MICHAEL MEEKS (130 votes)
FEDERICO MENA-QUINTERO (139 votes)
TELSA GWYNNE (139 votes)
JONATHAN BLANDFORD (142 votes)
NAT FRIEDMAN (146 votes)
JODY GOLDBERG (153 votes)
JIM GETTYS (182 votes)
DANIEL VEILLARD (189 votes)
MIGUEL DE ICAZA (191 votes)
HAVOC PENNINGTON (215 votes)
Of course, America's thinking doesn't let YOU read the words of bin Laden, becasue your government thinks they're too dangerous and has conspired with the media to try to prevent you from accessing them.
The term "Open Source" is much abused, because it lacks sufficient precision
Every term is subject to that. As soon as someone is trying to make money from something, they will twist and bend terms until they become meaningless.
And in those early days, who's software wouldn't run on non-IBM MS-DOS systems? That's right, Microsoft's. Until clones stablized, the standard program to test how IBM compatable a clone was, was Microsoft Flight Simulator.
In that era, there was no internet, so there was no easy way to exchange free software even if you wrote some
Yes there was. Have you forgotten Gate's infamous letter to hobbyists? He was complaining because people were swapping software. Some of that was binary, but some of it was source.
Swapping of software started the day that a single computer architecture was installed at two different sites, and it's continued on to this day.
What's actually relevent is what Apple's lawyers think. It's going to be expensive to fight a legal battle, so expensive that anyone who's been harassed by Unisys has folded, even though there is a fair chance that their patent would be declared invalid if it came up in court.
I think we're looking at the wrong timescale. Anything new takes time to become adopted. You can look back at the new inventions of 1991, and see what ones changed our lives, but seeing what is new today is pointless.
England is one of the countries in the UK. The other 3 are Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Each one of the has unique characteristics and laws. Only Ignorant Americans think that that UK is England.

Decreasing your level of stress in itself probably makes you more productive.

So that's what the Sun Spherethat Nelson knocked over was for.

The classic paper on this is Ken Thompson's Reflections on trusting trust
It would be useful if they went into more details, eg what a turning machine is.
Will the Roos be equiped with stingers?
Why are you requesting it then? It seems to be a completely stupid and selfdestructive move.
