Don't buy it. Agreed that an RFID "reader" has both a transmitter and receiver and the goal of longer range might be accomplished with either/or a more powerful transmitter or a more sensitive receiver, but it still grates my nerves to hear of "powerful receiver". You'd never speak of a "sensitive transmitter".
Slamming on the brakes with ABS will always lead to a shorter stopping distance than locking the wheels without ABS in an equivalent car.
Not in all cases. Under some road conditions, locked wheels will stop quicker than pulsed ABS braking. The big advantage of pulsed braking is that you can still steer your car not the (sometimes) shorter stopping distances.
Umm, no. Mine is a '99 5-speed. No computer control of AWD at all. It has 3 differentials and a viscous coupling giving a fixed torque split and lockup if one axle spins.
My Lincoln LS, which shares it's platform with the Jaguar S Type, is undriveable in snow with the stability control turned off.
Contrast this to my Subarus. They are an absolute joy to drive in the snow with *no* computer intelligence other than the ABS. Which never comes on. I'll take the Subaru approach any day.
And remember, kids, no stability control can overcome the laws of physics.
Something of which Microsoft has no experience. (When offered the opportunity to sell or license DOS to IBM, they went with the quick money and just sold the software to IBM, right?) Oh, and:
Royalties are indeed wonderful for established companies who aren't looking for a quick infusion of cash. OTOH, at the time Microsoft accepted the quick money, chances are that they needed quick money badly.
Acknowledged. Nonetheless, statements like that tend to make the US look like a bunch of provincial bumpkins. The reality is that it isn't hard to transfer money overseas, now or 20 years ago.
There were problems with working for such a young company, though. Spindler went without payment for almost six months because Apple didn't know how to move funds from California to Belgium."
Give me a break. Ya go down to your bank and do a wire transfer. Was Apple so stupid that someone couldn't have done that? I'd guess that they *did* know how and the author didn't get his facts straight.

Be sure to check out both the Partners and MSDN programs. Partners gets you one license for server software and 10 licenses for XP and Office for about $300/year. MSDN come in a bunch of different flavors and gets you dev tools and eval OS's at reasonable prices.
Leave your domain name registration at joker and move your DNS server to dnsmadeeasy.com. Joker doesn't make any money on their DNS service and it will only help them at this point. I moved mine Saturday and it was a)relatively painless and b)seems to work faster than joker did on a good day.
There's a common misconception throughout the slashdot comments that domain registration and DNS service are the same. They aren't. You can keep joker.com as your domain registar and move your DNS service to a better provider.
My problems started about 2pm PST on Wed. Nothing would resolve, email wouldn't work. I was out of town and number 2 couldn't figure out what was up. Everything came back up that evening. Same problems most of Thurs, Fri and Sat. By early Sat afternoon I decided I had to do something. Joker's "service zone" servers seemed to work so I moved everything over to dnsmadeease.com. The move was relatively painless and all is good now.
Not an experience I'd want to repeat any time soon.
I'll be working on a network troubleshooting handbook this week.
"Over a week ago, a worker bumped the arm leaving a small crack in it. The arm is key to this next mission as the cameras and lasers used to inspect the shuttle for damage are mounted on the robotic arm."
As far as I can tell, the stem cell agency was created as much as a backhand to Bush for not supporting stem cell work on a federal level as it was to actually get some work done. Well, the work isn't getting done.
Personally, I'd like to see some good come of this. Unfortunately, when a public agency is born out of controversy, unified support is hard to come by.
Yeah, well it's too bad you don't get the Discovery Channel.
They had a show documenting Boeing's mechanical design process. Same thing exactly. And I'll bet Boeing is using something other than 35k lines of Java to do it.
The cop can also write down the VIN number. It's on the dashboard visible through the windshield. The cop gets points for the number of tickets he/she writes. The tickets are often a necessary precurser to getting the car towed.
A car owner in California buys a vanity license plate that says NONE. Within a week he's receiving hundreds of parking citations. All the citations have NONE in the license number field because the car had no license plate.
Try using that kind of reasoning as a valid defense in court. The point is not that it's happened so often before; the point is that it's wrong and shouldstop.
Try using that kind of reasoning as a valid defense with your mom.

Even a RFID passport that emits only a few inches can be a danger if the criminals use more powerful amplifiers on their RFID receivers.
Transmitters are powerful, receivers and preamps are sensitive.
Thanks for the coffee spew.

Plus the low CG of the Subaru boxer engine and station wagon body style coupled with a general optimization for less than perfect roads.

See my sig.
Of course not. I was not trying to offer a justification, only my personal observation.
