Nice story, but I have a question. How did you change the resolution if the OS was not being displayed on the monitor? Did this computer have screen resolution hotkeys?
It would take a company with the clout of Google to lay down new infrastructure here to give an option to the duopoly we have. I wish they would do that
That's not brake fade. That's depleting the vacuum. You usually only get a couple of pumps before the vacuum is gone (if the engine is WOT or off). The brakes are still there, you just have to push *much* harder as you are getting no help from the induction vacuum.
Still the same end effect though, essentially the 'feeling' that the brakes are gone even though they are not. If you take the effort to understand how car systems work then you would know you still had brakes (Can people stop typing breaks too please. Far too many people have done so in this discussion). Unfortunatley people don't seem to concern them selves any more with the workingg of these missiles they drive around and blindly rely on them to 'just work', until they don't.
Sorry, I took "the car can decide shift points better than a person can." at face value.
I guess you meant "the car can decide the most economical shift points better than a person can."
It's just a shame it can't be in the right gear when exiting a corner.

I can't expect my wife to mess around converting every video she wants to watch, and why would I even want to do that myself given that PMS will do it for me on the fly?
Also, how can I use Windows 7's features if I do not have (or want) Windows 7?
How does the car know that I am about to overtake someone better than I know. Do they have brain implants now so that they can predict what you want before you are consciously aware of it? Clever...

PMS is the awesome.
It's very 'wife friendly'. 99% of stuff just plays.
It's running on an ubuntu server with a very old Core2Duo which can keep up with anything I have thrown at it yet (just), although I am thinking of getting a faster Core2Quad upgrade so that ffwd & rew on live-transcoded titles is more responsive.
Oh man, I had that 2nd book as a kid (albeit with a different cover). Studied it cover to cover many times, alas we didn't have the resources to build anything from it:(
Interesting. Not sure I get the leap second though. From what I can see,

So there is no way of identifying the leap second in our normal representation and unix time just seems to map to that. The leap second has been 'ignored' in both cases. Maybe I am not getting something about leap seconds. What is the correct way of unambiguously identifying that leap second in a conventional time format?
And about the epoch limitations? Maybe we just need a new standard (ha!). 64 bit unix time with an epoch of 2000, or 0000 and just use BC like our conventional formats.
I keep hearing this, and I understand that this is the energy for a single proton-proton collision. But the fact is, they have a LOT more than 1 proton circulating. There is in fact a LOT of energy circulating in the LHC. So much so that they can't just 'turn it off' without highly destructive consequences.
As such, they have huge beam dumps to absorb the beams. See here. http://lhc-machine-outreach.web.cern.ch/lhc-machine-outreach/components/beam-dump.htm
However, I guess the only energy levels that really matter are the actual collisions themselves which is, I guess, just a proton-proton collision with the above mentioned low overall energy.
My question is this. Is it only possible to have multiple proton-proton collision events, or is it possible for multiple protons in the same bunch to become part of the same 'event' such that there are more than 2 total protons in the collision event.
If the former, then sure, yep, we are safe. Also my understanding that there is so much empty space in there that the proton-proton events are the only ones likely to occur.
But what if it's the latter and multiple protons (>3) could create a larger event. I guess that not that many would be able to join in with the event, but could they 'feed' a MBH or somethign like that? (Not that the MBH would be stationary at the point of collision anyway).
I'm not a physicist but deeply fascinated by it all. Just rambling out loud:)
It seems to have been reset. I wonder if the creator de-activated it, or if the FrameChannel guys have been deleting the newly registered 'hacked' ones due to excessive traffic or something...
The people with visible signals may drive like this, yes, but the ones with obscured signals will be treating it as a stop sign so this won't be an issue. They will only proceed when it's clear (just assume that no-one else is going to stop for you - unless they actually stop). In this case, people carelessly driving through their visible green light will not be a risk to the obscured-lights driver.
Maybe they are only making ~21 million phones like they did with the current generation (according to the article).
What about the other 20 million cameras you ask? Well surely one facing the user as well as the rear camera, so that you can video call - functionality still lacking from the current lineup.
