A lot of people think Nokia should have done something rather than being hollowed out by a Microsoft plant and then bought for far less than they used to make in profit per year just so that Microsoft could have a handset maker for winphone under their full control. The even more ridiculous thing is despite being driven down to a fire sale price the ruins of Nokia were still worth far less than MS paid for them.
Android was one of the things seriously considered before Elop's "burning platform".
I'm actually far more interested in how they can "enhance the signal by reconstructing high-frequency waves". Maybe that is the real story underneath the required hype for mainstream science reporting at the moment. Low frequencies travel very well (turn down the bass you bastards next door) while high frequency information is lost very easily.
use a vibration motor as a microphone is a technical curiosity, but it's not at all surprising to anyone familiar with basic electrical and electronic concepts
Geophones for recording seismic data are still not very different to moving coil microphones from the 1930s so the idea is not very different despite different geometry.
From your story so did the police so it doesn't sound very "actual". Which parts of your story am I supposed to believe or not? From your current version I should ignore it as a big deal while your original letter to penthouse description makes it as a big deal.
Unreliable witness problem - see also "I know how to defend myself" and other bits that make your stuff read like a confected letter to Penthouse instead of reality. You've already called slander a rape accusation. How am I to know what you are calling your "actual rape" really was especially since you say was never tested by any part of the legal process? I only have your word which hasn't held up at all with you calling slander a "rape accusation". From here I am very sorry to say you just look like an utterly pathetic whiner pushing an agenda like most of the other "men's rights" weenies that complain about things like women being cast in Mad Max. Do you really want to come across that way in public? Is pushing your agenda really so important that you are willing to be only taken seriously by the gullible and naive?
Their first instinct was to slam down on the brake pedal, but you would be amazed at how many managed to hit the throttle by mistake
In "The book of the Ford", a "missing manual" type book for the Model T Ford written some time around 1920, it mentions that the Model T Ford was designed to stop when both pedals were pressed down at once due to this instinct. I say both pedals since there was no clutch pedal. It used brakebands instead of a clutch and all gear changing was handled by hand instead of hand and foot. I've never driven one of the things but I have played with a gearbox from one - epicylic - not so different to a modern automatic transmission as would be expected.
A lot of technical drawing is not 3D loser, thus qcad is on the list along with things that can do 3D for when constructive solid geometry and similar is required. Would you use a 3D tool to draw a map? If so you are going to waste a lot of time for no gain.
If that is all you are doing the MS Paint is a viable replacement for Photoshop
Indeed it is for many. Need a few more features and then it is not enough but GIMP is enough. Need the stuff that is only in photoshop and that's what you need, but most people don't need those features.
What do I think? I think that if the police were not involved at all in the declaration then it's not an "accusation of rape" but instead a heated argument where someone has insulted you by calling you a rapist. MASSIVE DIFFERENCE. This "men's rights activism" shit is 99% whining from weaklings IMHO.
The post you link to is misleading if the legal process is not involved at all. Whining to drinking buddies is one thing but spreading poison in the minds of those kids, who unlike you, are not old enough to know better, is another thing.
For most people faced with having to actually pay for Photoshop it most definitely is and those extra features don't seem to matter so much any more. How many people actually need to do colour separations to prepare for professional printing these days? Do you really want to spend enough to buy a whole new PC just to crop photos for personal use when other software can do the job?
Besides, don't "real" graphic designers use Macs anyway which renders this petty Win vs Linux tactic meaningless?
use AutoCAD
Yes, I've used it as well, from version 1.2 (on two floppy disks) onwards. It's funny how that went from the cheap option to run on PCs instead of on *nix workstations to just about the only game in town for a while. Now there is qcad, some dassualt thing and all the rest.
There are people in my workplace that like an old version of AutoCAD from before a major interface change. We run it in linux under WINE because it will not run in Vista/Windows7 and later. There's some annoying 16 bit stuff in there that prevents it from starting on a 64 bit MS Windows.
Funny thing is when MS Windows 7 came out with those little window snapshots instead of just icons is that it made me think of the Enlightenment Window Manager doing that in 1997.
A lot of it about - check out the utter weirdness with the Goldman Sachs exec parties, the Enron stuff and plenty of others. Prancing around to the strange whims of their bosses like a fantasy of French Nobility before they got the chop. They think they OWN people as seen how they dictate social life outside of work hours.
Personally I think you are utterly full of shit and not worth crying over - 3 women falsely accusing you of rape and one raping you? Stuff of twisted fantasy. Penthouse letters to the editor from virgins territory.
I make statements about science, engineering and mathematics here all the time without linking to the universities and companies I've worked for. Why should the AC do as you ask? Neither of us are doing it.
For the purposes of that page it is. For a wider discussion it's not, unless, like with that page, it's mentioned right at the start that all forms of sexual assault are being discussed.
Word redefinition is as annoying as hell - Uber with "ride sharing", even RMS with "free" but declared upfront it's not so bad IMHO, especially in this case where some sexual assaults may be failed rapes and even if not it's a nasty crime.
Very much embellished to push an agenda very neatly or you've had a LOT of weird shit going on and High School teachers that should be locked up among many other things. The "I'm capable of defending myself" especially looks like you are casting yourself in a movie instead of referring to reality.
So yes, I really find the above unlikely as written despite living near a few mentally ill people who nearly fit the stereotype you are using. Reality often comes off as not so perfect as to easily push an agenda.

I should add that you do have a point about them being an AC, but asking for offline identification is going a bit far IMHO.
One that I know hides his address and phone number because of credible death threats despite only handling wills and divorces.

No it is not. It's just slander and you are just a whiner pushing an agenda.
That's what airlines have been saying for decades and now similar technology is in cars.

Thus not a rape accusation at all let alone a false one.
So some women insulted you by calling you a rapist? Grow some balls and get over it.
What the fuck is it with these "men's rights" whiners?

You have put words in my mouth that are not there.
Not just a poor observer but a liar as well.

A 60GB SSD will give you enough space for about eight of them.

I've seen plenty where the people in real estate are very close to people in politics or even directly in politics themselves.
