Humm, I recall that the "duplication of functionality" clause referred only to Apple's applications, not to any 3rd party applications sold on the store.
It is wider by a long shot, which may present a problem. On the other hand, it does 1920x200 and is about the biggest you can get for under GBP 1000 (and $1000 I'm guessing**).
Dang, that is what I would call a wide monitor, 19:2 aspect ratio quite extreme:)
I might be remembering wrong, but I thought they shot at the same velocity as they do in the real tests and the thawed chicken only broke couple panes of glass whereas the frozen went straight through. That would make the myth confirmed, though they listed it as plausable as they couldn't confirm if the myth actually happened.
And remember, falling from high enough doesn't mean one dies, many people have survived falls from altitudes several kilometers.
Noh, they repeated the experiment until they didn't make any mistakes, eg. in the first episode they used windscreen that wasn't rated to be bird strike resistant.
I recall that they revisited the myth couple times and on the last time they did find a difference of penetrating power between thawed and frozen chickens.
Cannot get to the article you linked to, but the text you quoted doesn't say that they did the test in vacuum, just that they stored the sand in vacuum before testing it to get rid of any moisture.
And I can imagine a situtation where this might actually happen. Some famous designer makes a unique char and he makes you sign a contract where he limits how you can use the chair, like only allow you to use the cushion he designed as it otherwise wouldn't be as aesthetically pleasing as he would like. Some people would gladly sign the contract so they could say they own a chair by this famous person, others might not.
Ofcourse the government can (and does) limit what the manufacturer can require you do to, but I don't care as long as there is a better option to choose from. Which is why I have several Nokia phones that allow me to install any app I want and the SDK is free. I also have Openmoko phone and an iPhone and paid for the Apple SDK. 99USD wasn't that high price to pay to be able to run any kind app I want on the iPhone.
If it was clearly marked that you can only use manufacturer approved GPS units with the car, I think it would be ok. I would just buy a car that hasn't got this limitation. Or get my own GPS unit approved. Or jailbreak the car..
You are 100% free to develop any kind of application with Apple's SDK, there are no limitations on what you can compile and run on your own iPhone/Touch as a developer. What you cannot do is get it listed on their store unless you follow their guidelines and quirks.
Oh, and I did manage to do that several times while I was having the mandatory economical driving lessons while back. All I needed to do is to keep the car on gear, depress the accelerator totally and let the car go on with momentum it had and the engine cuts off. The 'liters per 100km' measurement on the car computer display goes to 0 (infinite MPG).
Some cars do seem to inject minimal amounts of fuel to keep the catalytic converter at operating temperature.
One person measured the difference in this case and when in neutral the engine used.43-.59L/hour and while coasting in gear it used.03-.05 L/hour.
No no no.. I don't know what kind of cars you have there, but here all modern cars actually stop injecting fuel when you don't press teh accelerator pedal and the car has forward momentum. The moving of the car keeps the engine running and once the revs go too low, the injection system puts just enough fuel to keep the engine on idle.
Modern fuel injected cars don't use any gasoline whilst rolling down a hill. Actually as long as the car is moving forward and the driver isn't pushing down the accelerator, the injector doesn't give the engine any fuel. Once the revs go too low, fuel is injected and the engine begins to idle.
Brazil is not Sweden and mining regulations are much thougher in Scandinavia compared to many other nations. Here the mine could never be just a dozen of meters from residental areas.
That would kill many many birds, which can be a good thing. And that many wind turbines would also change the weather somewhat, but change is for good I've heard.
It basicly is the same thing, just that the accelerating and recompressing proxy is hosted by Opera and works even if your ISP doesn't offer similar service.

Just heat aluminium to 2500+ÂC and it becomes transparent.
In Europe, the maximum permitted radiated output power of a wi-fi device is 0.1 Watt.
Theoretical?
Hah, when I turn on my monitor, I get a screen for choosing a computer I want to use.
Ah but Opera will rename their browser to Recommended Option or Select This To Continue.

Robots.txt maybe? or make all the content to require registration.

Haven't played a good singleplayer ID game since Wolf3d.

By default Opera has 'Automatic RAM Cache' enabled, that probably is one reason for the memory usage difference.

BTW, children in Sweden have cancer too.
Atleast part of this is due to 'not in my backyard' syndrome and general ignorance and fright over anything nuclear.

Maybe not ethernet but one could run Phonenet with the copper wires and use Appletalk over it.. *hhrrrrr*
