Yes it is, among Trekkers. IOW most of those who would read this article about a (sorry Wil) minor actor in a minor role being cut out of the next Star Trek movie.
But "TWOK"? Who uses "TWOK"? Not many people it would seem, if Google is correct - the ten most popular uses of "TWOK" include only two Star Trek related references, ranked seventh and tenth.
You should have searched Google Groups. Or ignored people called "Twok" or who use "TwoK" instead of "2K".
Sure. But they don't have oncoming traffic, intersections, kids crossing the street etc.
IOW you are not alone with a few dozen experienced drivers on your street when you're car-phoning. And I also doubt you have anywhere near the reflexes of a race driver.
You are right, it should be legal to use a cell phone while driving.
And it should be legal to shoot anybody that does. Or uses a cell phone in public, talking loud. Or have it ring on extra loud in theaters and the like.
According to this article (in German) (here is an English abstract), what makes the difference between a believer and a sceptic is the dopamin level in the brain.
Electronically controlled support magnets located on both sides along the entire length of the vehicle pull the vehicle up to the ferromagnetic stator packs mounted to the underside of the guideway. [...] To hover, the Transrapid requires less power than its air conditioning equipment. The levitation system is supplied from on-board batteries and thus independent of the propulsion system. The vehicle is capable of hovering up to 30 minutes without external energy. While travelling, the on-board batteries are recharged by linear generators integrated into the support magnets.
There have been experiments with planes whose hull (via a film) have a texture like shark's skin (wich is full of tiny teeth). It resulted in a couple of percent less fuel usage.
Well, us Mac enthusiasts don't know how Apple customer support is, because we never needed them, everything works perfect from the start. But we always give it a 10 anyway, just to mess those reports up;-)
New Improved Casablanca! Now with more violence and gratuitous sex-scenes! Like you all demanded! See Bogey kick some Nazi ass! See Bergman's tits! Also features new Aerosmith soundtrack, more profanity, and a special appearance by Enimem as "Sam"!
What Heise got on them is probably what you and I can expect when we compile our programs.
Depends on the compilers used.
One might also note that, despite Apple's constant claims about how powerful the G4 is, they have never submitted a SPEC benchmark result for the chip themselves.
One might also note that for years SPEC simply didn't run on Macs (not even running any *NIX). It may still not work too well on OS X (or Linux PPC).
I think the PPC is a dead end for Apple. Lack of a 64bit migration path is a problem.
PPC has been designed from the start to have both 32 and 64 bit implementations. And IBM does consider Power4 to be a PPC chip.
Intel's Itanium doesn't need to fear comparison architecture-wise with PPC either.
If you don't mind only being able to use one and only one compiler. At least if you want any speed.

And the US has also passed a number of privacy-invading laws recently. So what good did the constitution do there?

Maybe. And maybe, just maybe, all "patriots" are Nazis. Think about it.
Fatherland is a translation of the greek word patris, which is the root of patriotism.
You ar gullible if you think the elected government is responsible for things like this.
Bush is against it? Then it must be a good idea.
Imagine a Beowulf cluster of Simpson references in Maglev stories.
Which means they would be off your streets. If you are not willing to pay for that...
Damn, forgott the link. Here it is.

Or rather, they use what doesn't work at the time, and buy from some other maker in the hope that that will work.
But CFCs are greenhouse gases, though this has nothing to do with the CFC-Ozone reactions.
You don't kow much about human vision, do you?

1) All valid benchmarks show that PCs are faster than Macs.
2) All benchmarks that show something else are thus invalid.
Well, that's what SPEC is supposed to be about. But as long as a 1 GHz P3 is 30% (or more) faster than a 1GHz P3 depending on the compiler used...
