I just spent 3 or 4 days trying to find some decent, simple transcoding software for windows. Google was little help. It's only chance that I found your post on "SUPER".
By comparison, If I was using debian or Ubuntu I'd just do "apt-cache search transcode" and see what results I get.
Under load the bearings compress a little and spin freely. If the span freely when jhacked up they'd be too loose and would wobble and wear.
The brake pads get sprung back from the rotor a little, but they dont want to be too far as it would significantly affect braking responsiveness. I bet the drag on them scuffing is small compared to other losses in the car.
1) The first time they're used, the claw will pierce the skin 2) The claws may not retract, and even if they do the wound may or may not heal 3) If they do retract, subsequent times they might come out the same open wound.
We have the 100ml liquid limit on international flights from Australia, primarily because it's mandated by US and UK airports.
It shits me to tears for several reasons:
1) If people wanted to bring in something dangerous, there's plenty that would be less than 100ml. Sarin anyone? 2) Even if there was a zero liquid policy, there's plenty of powders that could also cause havoc. Anthrax anyone? 3) Cabin air is very dry and it messes with my contacts. Unfortunately the smallest lens solution bottle I can find is 120ml. 4) Airlines dont hand out enough water and taking your own on board is very good for your health
It's such an absurd and arbitary requirement. For the last 20 years we've been allowed to take in litres of strong alcoholic spirits (and you still can if the duty-free shop is in a sterile area) that could cause quite a significant fire, and yet there's almost never been a problem. Just because one angsty idiot wanted to make a weapon out of a couple of liquids, we're all suffering.
From what I've read, the energy payback on windmills is quite reasonable - around 3 to 6 months. It's less than one month for Gas / Nuclear, and more like a couple of years for solar.
Fortunately in Australia the government broadcaster (ABC) puts out some pretty good content and even does digital multi-channeling, all without commercial advertising. There are some internal ABC promotional bits, but thankfully they're between shows.
The rest of the time I stick to downloaded series where someone else had cut out the ads for me.:)
Plenty of modern 4WD's are 2000kg or so. Older cars, with a greater metal content (instead of plastic) are also quite heavy. Just imagine an old saloon car - it would be twice as heavy as a new compact, which themselves are around the 1000kg mark.
Forget the cameras. Put in an alarm system with lots of PIR's (I have them in every room that has valuables), and make the internal siren(s) loud enough to make your ears bleed. Same with the car - put a 120dB siren (or two) on the inside.
Unfortunately sirens and strobes on the outside get ignored by the general public, and the cops dont care about the petty crime as much as you would like. When the internal sirens are so loud you nearly vomit, the crooks will leave prematurely and unsuccessful.
I dont see your problem. Burning enthanol from cellulose sources is a closed cycle - even if it's 10c a gallon, consumption is matched exactly by plant material production, which is a sustainable and carbon neutral activity.
There's also pleny of arguments to say that using renewable hydrocarbons as a transportable fuel has many benefits compared to toxic battery chemistry too.
The fact is, people are importing more powerful (50 to 200mW) lasers and are pointing them in the sky. The fact that they are already regulated doesnt help - the police need a a way to get it off you if they suspect something. Classing them as a weapon if you dont have a good reason is a great way to do that.
Not so much efficiency, the main benefit is reduced weight.
Simply put, they dont have "fuel" in the conventional sense. They use electricity (which can be sources externally or generated oboard from a nuclear source) to exject a reaction mass at high speed. Over time this reaction mass will be consumed, but get far more benefit from it that they would with normal combustible fuel.
You could also describe it like audio does via distorion (eg % THD).
Compare the compressed screen to the origonal source pixels and count the number and size of the defects. The final score or % can then be compared amongst any feeds.
I've probably got the same Toshiba DVD player as you, and have found a fix for burned disks. Basically you need to change the "BitSetting" feild in your DVD burner so that the disks get marked as "DVD-ROM" instead of "DVD-R" or "DVD-R/W". This has fixed nearly all of my issues.
There's several different bitsetting programs around depending upon the drive manufactuerer - try google.
Umm, the acronym "WAN" in the article refers to Wide Area Network, as opposed to Local Area Network.
When you consider IPv6 it's clear that we could head in that direction - *everyone* could have an IPv6 allocation and it would just be firewalls seperating local groups from the rest of the world.

Thank you captain obvious. If you wanted to be really pedantic:
It's the motors DRIVing it
It's the servo controller CONTROLing it
It's the AI SUPERVISing it.

Once concern I have is the cost of repair would be huge. Composite fibres dont crease/dent - they shatter.

I thought that too at first, but then realised:

Complete theatre.

Umm, how is the UK Data Protection act going to apply when you're landing at US Customs?
Seriously, is it covered/enforced in a Free Trade Agreement or something?
I know what you mean.

If you RTA, it says that's how they currently do it - sounding rockets, parabolic flights and drop towers.

And how many unsuccessful tests did they not show?
Dont confuse TV for science or evidence.
Linear as in "not discontinuous". Diodes and transistors have knees, gaps and other discontinuities in their voltage / current functions.
They're probably smarter than you think - they get paid by the hour to hold that highlighter pen after all.

Supposedly at those sorts of instances, the laser has spread out over the windscreen and flashes the entire cockpit.
As far as I am aware, the pilots themselves have reported this so I assume they think it's bad.

I'd say there is plenty of value behind forms. They're not just for submitting an application, some places use them as a navigation front end.
What about online stores with combos / search fields, but no direct index?
What about forums with a guest login?

That's very narrow minded thinking. Even with touchscreens, you can still provide meaningful feedback via alternative methods - eg a speacker "click".

Get a Home Theatre PC and put it in your lounge room. Hook it up to an LCD/Plasma TV with DVI input and you're set!
This has made all the difference for me, I barely watch TV anymore.
