Maybe there should be an amendment to the constitution: "The gut feelings of people posting on Slashdot always overrule the congress." Well, maybe we should exclude low-scored postings.
That's not the way I've learned it. The way I learned it you do not use the break pedal at all, but release the hand brake while releasing the clutch. Indeed, operating two pedals with one foot sounds rather dangerous to me: Too easy to slip from one of the pedals (esp. the break pedal).
Well, usually cars are built for driving in normal traffic, not for racing. If you want a racing car, you should buy a racing car (and don't drive in the normal traffic with it).
Just need to solve hills where the driver may need throttle and brake simultaneously to start moving, and it should work.
I've learned that for this you use the hand brake. If your car doesn't have automatic gear, it's the only way anyways, because your feet are already used for gas and clutch. Since for stopping you use the brake pedal, the simple solution would be to stop the throttle only for the brake pedal, not for the hand brake.
Well, maybe all-electronic cars should be required to have a highly visible button labelled "Emergency Off" - I think I don't have to explain what this should (and shouldn't!) do.
I think the data speaks for itself. There is a very high correlation between a low birth rate and longevity/low risk of infectious diseases.
However, the data doesn't tell you the causality. It would be an equally reasonable theory that in countries where illnesses are common, people get more children because many children die early. Also note that nothing decreases the life expectancy more than high infant mortality. A more informative statistics would look at the life expectancy of those who already reached a certain age, say 18, and correlate it with the number of children per woman reaching that age.
Wrong on two counts: First CWD is Convert Word to Double word (into DX:AX, because it's a 16 bit instruction; CWDE would extend AX into EAX). What you are thinking of is CBW. Second, both CBW and CWD do sign extension; that is, they copy the most significant bit of the source (AL for CBW, AX for CWD) into the upper part of the destination (AX for CBW, DX:AX for CWD), so that when interpreted as (two-complement) signed value, the value is unchanged.
I just ran the text through ndisasm, and that's what I got (actually there's an extra 0A from the line end; this would actually be the first byte of the mov instruction after the text; of course, the meaning of the other instructions would be changed as well by this.
You can get 1024 levels of pressure sensitivity for $99. The next product line up offers MORE pressure sensitivity and can detect pen tilt as well.
So, yeah, I'm not seeing the innovation here.
The innovation is the way the pressure sensitivity is achieved. If I understand the article correctly, it's cheaper to manufacture than the alternatives.
I know that sort of test in the form that 2-4 are questions, not instructions, and the instruction at the end is to not answer any question. Which IMHO makes a lot more sense.
Is there any truth to that part in the Fantastic Four movie, where the human torch went so hot that he almost ignited the earth's atmosphere?
Any danger of this scenario happening with that laser fusion experiment?
There have been plenty of bomb tests utilizing hydrogen fusion; I'm quite sure they have produced more energy/heat than this experiment. So if the atmosphere would be ignited by that level of fusion energy, I'm pretty sure that we wouldn't exist any more.

The brake button didn't work, and the accelerator button was stuck in pressed position?
Which opens up a task manager, where you can decide to kill the engine?
Press down 3 seconds to switch off? Are their cars powered by ATX computer power sources? :-)

Well, maybe we could just simplify the rule to:
Don't trust!

If he doesn't even know the basics of research on the internet for himself, why the hell should he be asking the kids to do it?
So that he can learn from them.
How many people have actually been fined?
If the danger of being fined is high enough, people will change their behaviour. Otherwise, they won't.
You forgot about the secret plan on making the vaccines only effective for Windows users. :-)

They are Google. They are supposed to find that information. :-)
(BTW, what would they need my SSN for?)

Let's try: Google, please give me a billion dollars.
OK, I said it on Slashdot. Let's see it it works.
I don't see a division sign. Division signs look like this: /
But yes, it's still a small number, compared with a googolplex.
Given that Google is an advertising company, this is no surprise (actually it's a surprise that they actually offer ad hiding).
If an anonymous tip was given, wouldn't they have to prove that it wasn't you in order to convict you?

But think of the brain power you would then have!
