When brakes get really hot, the pad material starts to turn directly into gas and causes the pads to "float."
This is not true. Brake fade is caused by the hydraulic fluid boiling, thereby turning an incompressible fluid into a compressible one, thereby greatly reducing the amount of force applied to the pads.
Yes, the GP is true. This is why in sport and high performance applications you often find cross-drilled brake rotors. While the holes do provide some additional surface area to the rotor which promotes cooling, their primary purpose is to give the gas somewhere to go & thereby allow greater pad-to-rotor friction.
That's not to say that brake fluid doesn't boil, however boiling brake fluid is usually caused by the demand for braking force exceeding the components' ability to dissipate heat away from the caliper, or excessive moisture being present in the brake fluid.
When they make a better mouse, I'll switch in a heartbeat.
I was, and to some extent still am a fan of the Trackman Marble. At one point it was the only pointing device which I could use for extended periods of time without experiencing any sort of hand/wrist fatigue. The one I use at work is likely of similar vintage to yours.
I've since swithed to a wireless MX-1000 at home however. It is the first mouse which I have found in a long time that is comfortable under my hand. I find that its precision is the same if not greater than the Trackman. The real winners for me though are the lack of cord, and the lack of ball or rollers to periodically scrape accumulated dirt off of.
All experiences are valid on some level, but why anybody would waste their time with a big institution which has no respect for its students is quite beyond me.
Perhaps it's because when hiring noobs, those pretty pieces of paper which universities give to their graduates are considered by many to be a more reputable proof of skill than an individual's claim of being self-taught.
While there is some debate concerning the date of the invention of the rectal cell phone, multiple sources suggest that events immediatly preceeding the invention included the user of a conventional cell phone partaking in an [unnecessarily] loud conversation whilst seated in a movie theatre.
Such a business model assumes that the consumer is willing to gamble his money against an unknown.
At current media prices it may only serve to sustain artists with an established fan base, while making it much more difficult for newcomers to break out.
Neither is right-of-way a carte blanche to make foolish decisions. Unfortunately however, many pedestrians assume that the concept of right-of-way presides over simple physics, and see fit to complain once they discover that they have become a hood ornament.
Probably the same type of "moron" who feels that any hope of a Soviet Russia joke being funny, no matter how relevant the context, was eradicated a long time ago due to over-use.
Strictly speaking, no it has not. While the end result may be similar, TFA concerns the use of a piezo-acoustic system to detect a "keypress"; the URL you provided describes a product which relies upon an optical system.
You can't open several tabs at the same time, one to view the description of the item, one to add the item to your cart, one to fill the shipping address, one to fill the credit card information, etc.
Online shopping is a linear process and tabs can't help that.
I disagree.
I routinely use tabs while online shopping, most commonly to open product descriptions in a new tab will leaving a product index unmolested in another. Additionally I do not recall any of the sites from which I have made purchases getting confused if I open a new tab to view a product description, add that item to my "cart" from the extra tab, then close the tab and continue browsing from the previously loaded index page.
I agree that the checkout is in most cases a linear process, but examining items and selecting them for purchase does not have to be.
...because "I call BS" in this case is a play on the more traditional useage of "BS" against how the 8th character in the ASCII chart is commonly identified.
I also don't know why you think I am speaking for all of Canada, or even how I could speak for all of Canada if that was my intention.

Thanks for the reply, but I'm not sure I understand it. I mean, I think your just being a nob, but I'll need you to clarify.
My reply was directed moreso at the GP to which I was referring, than it was at you. At least you qualified in your later replies that you live in a low-crime neighbourhood. The GP in question implies that locks are not required in Canada at all, which is just plain silly.

Agent BIND, it is imperative that you contact MX immediately. It would seem that the DNSSEC has been found dead.
Is that a prediction, an aspiration, or a promise?

In Ontario, if a vehicle is caught by a red light camera the infraction notice is sent to the registered owner of the vehicle.
Your real name is Prostetnic Vogon Jeltz, isn't it?
That idea will never float.

In other news, anonymous sources claim that Tom Cruise's "missile" is really just an average pee shooter.

For the life of me I can't decide whether you're trying to be funny, or are honestly unaware of the existance of timed light switches.

Good for you. Call me when both your neighbourhood and that of the GP are representative of all of Canada.
