Traditional laminated automotive safety glass would add significant weight to the Transition® and could fracture in such a way as to obscure the vision of the pilot in the event of a bird impact. This exemption allows the use of polycarbonate materials that provide comparable protection to the occupants at significant weight-saving without shattering or crazing – improving the safety of the Transition®.
In the exemption text, NHTSA states: “We further conclude that the granting of an exemption from these requirements would be in the public interest and consistent with the objectives of traffic safety.”
In 2010, the Transition® was granted an additional 110 pounds allowance by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in a prior exemption action by the DOT.
I saw this article a few hours ago, bought the game, and finished it just a few minutes ago.
$5 seems about right. While yes the music and art are very beautiful and the narrative intriguing $20 seems to be asking a bit much for a game of such short length and non-existence re-playability.
I like those helmet mounted mirrors, I see them on bicyclists sometimes when they ride by the house. Makes me think of some cool futuristic personal HUD.
...Which I guess is still dorky. But its a good dorky cos it's cool.
Considering that idle for Volt won't be like idle for a normal ICE vehicle I don't imagine heavy traffic or sitting time to affect its range. Consider the amount of torque required for the motor to generate to get the vehicle moving, then the amount needed to say run the gauge clusters, climate control, Nav, its definitely nowhere near. How the vehicle actually handles the power requirements of varying loads is still a mystery, so its speculation.
Also I see you mentioning a two seater, the Volt is a mid-size(?) sedan and with the range extending gas engine it can go as far as you want. From other blogs I've read that the Volt still achieves 50mpg when running exclusively on gasoline (no prior charge) so that's still rather impressive I think at least.
Or to fine tune your analogy: a kid has borrowed their parents car and placed a copy of the tax return, bank statement, whatever, in plain view on the dash or passenger seat and parked it on a public street.
If you never (as in never-ever) went on a trip longer than 40 miles round-trip and recharged to full after each trip, yes, your Volt would get infinity miles per gallon essentially because you would never be using the gasoline engine and thus never use any gasoline.
Ford is in the process of transitioning to using more European based models in the states, or rather shifting to a global-model rather than; sexy European Focus and ugly-stick-beaten North America Focus. This began last year, also in this plan was the use of more EcoBoost (smaller displacement, forced-induction) engines which is already beginning to appear in Fords line-up. http://www.motorauthority.com/ford-lineup-to-be-completely-upgraded-by-2010-six-european-models-confirmed-for-us.html
Me thinks these MIT students have been chugging too much Mountain Dew while cramming for final exams. Unless this is actually for a class...
Subtext being that this WowPod is basically a diorama of slightly higher quality than that of a 5th grader but is deemed newsworthy by being contexted with World of Warcraft and having been done by MIT students.
So you were robbed because a thief stole your stuff, and not because you left the door open?
The blame goes both ways. Of course botnets wouldn't exist without malware authors, but neither would they without that many Windows and IE vulnerabilities.
Ah so just like beautiful women are partly to blame for being raped, because they were beautiful.
In a sane world, electronic music prices would reflect the lack of "manufacturing, transportation, warehousing, or any other costs" as pointed out by mcgrew, rather than the labels going "OMGZ eMusicz we can make 1000%s profitz!!!!"
Anecdote time. Back when I was downloading music frequently I had a simple two-step process for acquiring music. 1st step: check allofMP3.com. As said, I was willing to pay pennies on the MB for music, rather than muck around torrent trackers for whatever it was I was looking for. 2nd step: If 1st step failed, then I would muck around torrent sites. There was no 3rd step.
Point of anecdote, I was willing to pay sane prices for music rather than jump straight to 'piracy'. I imagine most people would be too. 69 cents is still very high for something with near-zero distribution, storage, and replication costs.
File size as in the amount of physical space a song occupies on a server, and the amount of bandwidth needed to transfer said song are the only meaningful metrics here. allOfMP3.com had it right with regards to pricing model, it was a shame when Visa/MasterCard were bullied into no longer accepting charges from them.
Also this is where VBR encoding comes to play. If its just a straight 20 minutes of you screaming, you gotta stop for breath quite a while in those 20 minutes. Ever tried to scream for even 10-15 whole seconds? It's harder than you think. The point being with VBR, those breaks for breath are going to be encoded at a lower bit rate, resulting in a smaller file size than if it were CBR encoded.
Another thing allOfMP3.com did that was awesome, was you could choose any audio format, and even the quality of the file. Want FLAC? It'll cost extra, but you could do it. I always used what was formerly known as LAME --alt-standard though, I think it's known as -v2 now. Gives about an average 190-224 kbs bit rate and was engineered to be indiscernible from the source material.
And like I said, they could charge a small premium for new release stuff to cover your very lofty "quality" metric.
Agreed. The removal of DRM is nice but pricing is still too high. Call me when the price is based on file size with new releases being allowed a slight premium cos they're you know, new.
The documents only state the MS knew that moving or re-orienting an Xbox 360 while it was operating may scratch the disc. As for claims that the Xbox scratches discs while stable and vertical (while it may be true) does not apply to these specific documents.
I dunno.
Because these greater gyroscopic forces are combined with both a weak magnetic force for holding the disc in place, and a tray-loaded design that can be oriented vertically, uncoupling of a disc during normal console use was a predictable result.

What a horrible title but par for the course around here.
From the horses mouth:

So how do the people in Harlem afford to live there?
Rent control.
The problem is if any of your friends used an app or took quiz that means all of your information was compromised also.
Clearly you have not used windows 7 as there is no classic mode anymore
Right-click Desktop -> Personalize -> at the bottom under "Basic and High Contrast" choose Windows Classic.
Then right-click Taskbar -> Properties -> under "Taskbar Appearance" check "use small icons"

The Ford Fiesta is coming stateside, probably in 2010 as a 2011 model, check: http://www.fiestamovement.com/

My guess is the conversations go like this:
Front-line Manager: We need to encrypt our dataz.
Middle Manager: How much will this cost?
Front-line Manager: (insert any number)
Middle Manager: No.

In a business setting I wouldn't be worried about viruses so much as the BSA coming down on you like a hammer.
Could you give some examples? I don't feel like googling for "young one complain language foss project crappy fork code get distro use".
Ok dammit I just did, first result was your parent comment.
I hate you.
Funny you should say that. According to the blogger, the only thing these MCPs are seeing in their heads is Microsoft's cock.
Oh how I wish I had mod points right now. Almost spit out my water.
What did Israel do in South Africa?
...what?

According to your cited wiki it says currently the only providers abusing this extra "X" pin on mini-USB are Verizon in collusion with Motorola.
So hang Verizon for this just as high because I have a T-Mobile Motorola phone that charges/interfaces just fine with my 99-cent newegg cable.

Yeah I remember when my buddy's 360 scratched his copy of Halo 3. Poor guy became consumed by flames and died a horrible fiery death.
