Sorry man, that's not a highlight. It's a link. I, uhm.. think you may have missed out a bit on the Internet. Here, I'll give you a link to start with: http://www.bing.com/ -- happy binge!
Besides, the mentioned "bullshit" was half way into his post. If you just read the first few words, I think he's happy.
People missing limbs learn to use their feet. The severity of your injury is no different. Get a plastic carpet protector and a large laser mouse set to 500 - 1000 dpi.
...although I guess it depends on what limbs they're missing.
I know that there are demonstrations in some locations around Europe, but calling them "riots", that's a bit of a stretch. I'm in Denmark. Even if my backyard covered Sweden, Norway, Finland and Germany I haven't heard about any events that would qualify as a riot.
If NY cab drivers stop working in protest of something, is that a riot as well? A riot across the USA?
Note that the AP "blurp" doesn't even call it riots, only protests.
As the AC parent sibling is getting at, just explain them it's really made of tubes, and try to avoid any questions about why postage around the world still takes at least a few days, "when I can play Farmville with my cousin in China in seconds".
A better analogy is water pipes. Bandwidth is width (the bigger, the bigger throughput), latency is pressure (the higher, the faster "it" travels). Of course, this being/., your almost-car analogy is probably better suited.
and some off-the-shelf air quality sensors (about $10 each)
From the article (sorry, Instructable):
- Air Quality Sensor from Figaro (I recommend the VOC or the diesel/exhaust sensor, $10/$20 each)
I guess it was just too hard to copy/paste two prices.
The article is just as bad. I mean, this is Carnegie Mellon University. How's this for science:
Data sheet for both sensors suggests 48 hours of preheat to make the elements most stable. I've run them for about 24 hours and it seemed to work fine.
Oh, so your sensors "seem to work fine". Here's a quote from the datasheets:
[solvent vapor sensor] Standard test conditions: Conditioning period before test: 7 days [gasoline and diesel exhaust sensor] Standard test conditions: Conditioning period before test: 2-7 days
No calibration whatsoever. Dumbasses.
I hope these wankers create an air pollution scare and the local population starts wearing gas masks to defend themselves from horrendous air quality because the people who'll build this kind of thing has no clue, follows the Instructable without question and makes the same mistakes as the UNI-FUCKING-VERSITY people.
Found the Wikipedia article on the Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird after reading your comment (last paragraph in "Titanium structures and airframe"): "To allow for thermal expansion at the high operational temperatures, the fuselage panels were manufactured to fit only loosely on the ground. Proper alignment was only achieved when the airframe heated due to air resistance at high speeds, causing the airframe to expand several inches. Because of this, and the lack of a fuel sealing system that could handle the thermal expansion of the airframe at extreme temperatures, the aircraft would leak JP-7 jet fuel onto the runway before it took off. The aircraft would quickly make a short sprint, meant to warm up the airframe, and was then refueled in the air before departing on its mission. Cooling was carried out by cycling fuel behind the titanium surfaces at the front of the wings (chines). On landing after a mission the canopy temperature was over 300 C (572 F), too hot to approach. Non-fibrous asbestos with high heat tolerance was used in high-temperature areas.[20]"
Next time spice it up with links for references and further reading, but you' could on your way to/. fame if you keep up! Who knows, one day you might even append your initials to your comment like all the oldtimers and people who think they're something does!;)
And your point is moot. If you don't fight for other peoples rights now, why would you do it later? If they censor 4chan now, who knows what they'll block next time? I'm pretty sure the German people during WW2 would speak up as well, given that they knew about it, weren't placed under a strict censorship or weren't brainwashed. The whole point, of course, is that this might just be the beginning.
...but if it runs Android, it will soon run Mer (Maemo), some Ubuntu variant, Windows CE and so on. That's the real deal with MSI's alternative to iPad, at least for me.

Oh, the irony of a website dedicated to nerds being such a mess. Where's my unicode support?
To add to the discussion, using tabs over spaces saves Slashdot some bandwidth. Have a look at the "menu" ul -- li's are seperated by 6 lines of 4 tabs. That's 24 tabs, or what would be 96 spaces to seperate items. Have a look for yourself, Slashdots filter makes a mess of it. At least in the preview...
You see that? Just think of how many bytes would go to printing spaces if they didn't use tabs!

Right click menu bar, "customize", drag address bar to menu bar.
Another pro tip: the "start" button in Windows is not just for starting programs -- there's also an option for shutting down Windows!

I think you need to adjust your smell-o-vision -- sounds like something has burned out.
No riots where I'm at.

Why don't you digitalise it and put it on archive.org for archival for future generations?
I'm certain you'd be able to do it anonymous in some way...
I'll thank you in advance just in case you do it: thanks!

Hi,
Do you know if the whitepaper available somewhere for free?

Thanks for the link, it seems like a good read for a cloudy day.
Do you know if anything has changed since the article in 2007?

Slashdot apparently even manages to create new data while still backing up the old data...

Oh, right. Just like electronic voting is more safe than old-school pen-and-paper-ballot.
It all depends on the implementation and those in charge. Neither is automatically more safe than the other.

Thanks for posting the link. On a 24" widescreen (16:10) LCD, it's so much better to have the tabs organized vertically.
