Assuming you actually stay in your car while its parking, which I'm guessing is a requirement, you can probably hit the brakes to stop all the same. My non-assisted car sure wont stop on it's own if a kid runs infront of it, thats my responsibility as a driver.
MX700 uses plain ordinary AA NiMH rechargables. Mine seems to go about 3 days before it stops working if I forget to charge it, and I never have any problems as long as I put it in the cradle each night. This is with fairly heavy use, btw.
Amazing how a comment from someone who obviously hasnt even read the article gets rated +5 informative.
In one final display that left onlookers speechless yesterday, the company showed how the suspension system can be coaxed into jumping -- yes, jumping -- over obstacles in its path. "Can't you just imagine the kids with this going down Main Street?" laughed Bose, who emphasized the feature will be eliminated before it is sold to customers.
It's pretty obvious that the jumping thing was just for showing off, the point was made right in the article...
I was also in the alpha, so I can give you a bit more info. The best part about wow to me, is the quest system. Its very nicely done, and you get a large amount of experience (along with items and/or cash) for completing most quests. The quests vary from killing a number of a specific monster, to exploring an area, and to collecting a number of specific drops. There are also some more interesting quests, such as protecting an npc while he walks from one place to another and gets ambushed by some bad guys, or others where you have a limited time (complete with a timer on screen) to kill a few things. Leveling ends up revolving around completing quests, and you can pretty much always have a goal for various quests, instead of just killing stuff over and over.
I've played a number of mmorpg (way too much eq, played ao some, daoc, ffxi), and wow is definately the game to look forward to. If the quality of content I've seen extends all the way to the higher levels, it should be a great game.
I just finished a game of UT2K4 on my Athlon64 3000 (2000mhz, currently overclocked to 2150mhz). Processor temp reads a cool 34.6'C - and thats air-cooled. Compare that to the new Prescott P4's that are setting records for hottest running cpu's...
The Athlon64 is an amazing piece of hardware.
I imagine this has been said on every single other amd64-related slashdot article, but here goes again... Running in 64-bit mode lets the Athon64/Opterons take advantage of a bunch of extra GPRs (general purpose registers), which enables better performance on applications compiled targeting it.
http://www.interix.com/ has free addon packages for SFY, including bash (with working tab completion), gnu tar (for those addicted to 'tar zxvf', and a bunch of other stuff. They're rather easy to install, a couple of commands, all documented on the site. Cygwin is nice, don't get me wrong, but SFY's integration with windows seems tighter overall, with less of cygwin's issues. SFY also includes a very nice nfs driver that lets you mount nfs shares in windows just like samba ones.
Perhaps just maybe he wants his name to become (well, stay) well-known. It wouldnt surprise me at all to find companies happy to hire 'the guy who cracked dvds and itunes'.
"The helicopter is unique. No other company in the world has succeeded in operating such a flying machine, capable of independent flying without remote control. Many companies have tried, but none of their tests worked."
The interesting part is that the stabilization and flight control systems are completely autonomous. You plug in a gps location, and it flies there.
Theres also a little bit of info at their site.

No, its not. Theres a pretty huge difference between changing logic and simply lowering frequency by a range of dividers.

Did anyone think to compensate for the instability of the naquadria that powers the hyperdrive?
