Those 400 ~ 500hp turbo'd 'busas are stupid fast (mine only puts out 115). And I think 'tiny pieces' is routine (although 14k rpm is not that big a deal stock)...no way those things are daily drivers. Way they would be an E+ ticket ride, tho!
The reference is for a 'four point static', not 'system'. The optimal system is described as a tricycle, which is the Embrio at low speeds.
Stopping with the front brake (link is fine for me), is routine...no one with any sense uses the rear at all. We've all heard of 'wheelies'...ever seen a 'stoppie'. No problem up on one wheel.
Physics says you can't exceed 200mph in the quarter mile, where we know that 300 is exceeded with abandon. Those same physics will fall to the wayside when the Embryo hits the road.
Don't worry...by 2025, active radar, proximity transponders and pro-active avoidance systems will be all the rage. This thing isn't planned for today's asphalt jungle, by any means.
this has to have safeguards which keeps that from happening.
You mean like the front gear that lowers for stability at low speeds? Should be trivial to force deployment in panic situations, etc. That and a giant airbag that envelops the rider and vehicle:)
Sure....like Goodyear won't have a run-flat, tubeless (solid core), long wearing, all-weather, uni-directional compound tire that means you'll wear the seat out first. Hardly an issue.
No problem at all...and a traditional unicycle is hardly a basis for an example. The 'propulsion' is hard-fixed to the wheel, and there is no computer to make split second decisions. Try this for more info...
Couple a decent accident avoidance system with an anti-lock disc brake, along with the gyros and the only limit is the adhesion patch between the tire and the pavement. Staying upright is just a matter of not locking the brake...micro-second brake pulses, etc. Or, assuming an electric motor of some sort is involved, you simply backfeed (turn the motor into a generator), and it will do the braking for you.
My sportbike does +150mph, weighs 370lbs and can haul down from 60-0 in less than 120 feet (0 to 60 to 0 inside 5 seconds). I'd bet the Embrio could do better than that, just on less weight alone.
And/or you don't want the HD-DVD Edition of the Alien Series.

More hazardous; more polution; less durability. While the change may come as news, things move fast in industry today, and legacy/smokestack technologies like anodizing are being swept away at a rate that many are simply unaware of.
Follow the link....it's just a matter of time before powder coating costs come down and anodizing goes the way of the dinosaur. For those that want up-to-date materials, etc., cost isn't the issue, and power coating has already replaced anodizing.

Exactly. When will people realize that goggle is tweaked to the hilt, and not a legitimate image of the 'net.
google is just blackmailing the few sites that haven't given them money yet. I bet if they make contact, google will say, 'oh gee, we can make that less painful...for a fee'.
Just wait for the other shoe to drop. google is all about revenue, and not about the masses having a clear view of the net.
They certainly put one over on you....must be an English teacher that 'thinks' they experienced the real Japan.
Let me guess, when you asked, in a meeting, if anyone had any questions, they nodded and said shook their heads 'no'... Too bad you wasted nine years of their time.
...you force me to point out the one critical factor that is driving all of this. Labor rates. Sad but true.
Money in your own econony? 'Your' economy is global, like it or not. Understand it or not. Adapt to it or not. Survive or not. Do it while you still have a choice. You won't like being drafted.
Face time is not a 'western' concept. Since when is human interaction and body language 'western'?
Try face to face eye contact in a culture that doesn't promote eye contact, such as Japan or Korea.... And paper/pen, whiteboard isn't face time. You can do those online just as easily.
As I said earlier, you need to make at least one visit to meet the other side in person...hang out, crunch numbers, drink/eat, whatever. Bond first, then return to remote. Strictly remote is a mine field.
At the risk of pointing out the obvious, you should learn a bit of their concepts and their language....works for me. Japanese, Korean, Mandarin/Cantonese, Indian & Malay.
It's not easy, so don't get me wrong. And it's not for everyone. But again, to survive, we all need to adapt at one point or another. I enjoy managing Indians/Malasians etc. remote, but some days you dread opening email or answering the phone, when it seems like the people on the other end are just never going to get it. But once they do, and all the hassles are behind you, there is great pleasure (and good pay) in remote projects....an E ticket.
I'm not ignoring anything. I've done this very scenario for years. 'face time' can be a Western concept. Offset hours are no different than swing shift. You seem to be stuck in a box, and that kind of thinking risks you being left behind. Jobs have been moving abroad for years and they will continue to do so. You can learn to manage remote or go with them...adapt or die.
doing the "grunt" work on the other side can be very frustrating and impede progress.
Sure...but the truth is the specific issues that surface can happen locally as well. All it takes is patience, persistence and constant communication between both sides. This approach will result in the remote specific issues fading to the background.
Remote administration is routine, and it's not going away. Best to learn now how to deal with it. Find and buttress the strong points while weeding out the weak ones. Visit the remote site at least once and dig into the culture. Learn to train your ear to deal with different accents. Put yourself in the other side's shoes and don't forget to consult a calendar so you know when their holidays occur:)

Exactly...with these bikes, the rear brake is along for the ride.
Gyros....regenerative motor circuits...inertia dampeners, computer controlled anti-lock, active tread compounds. No issue....

No need for re-buying, unless you're bored

Casting is far more elegant...look at the base for the $3600.00 Sun 24.1" TFT-LCD monitor. It just takes talent.
As for anodizing...way out of date. Today, items like this are powder-coated.
....any publicity is good, and good publicity is even better.
MS spends more on lawyers and PR than it does on anything else. The big lie lives.
you know you've hit the truth nerve when you get rated troll for bagging google :)

Seriously, it is and has been one global economy for more than a generation. Get out and see it...then tell me it's not.

When you race electric R/C cars on a serious level, you become quite adapt at building and servicing your own packs.

Popping the back off my iPod and installing a fresh battery, bought off the net for less than US$75.00, is nothing... I look forward to the day
