because you and 3000 friends are holding signs and walking from somewhere to somewhere else while shouting your message (commonly know as a protest march). Typiclly 3000 people will not fit on the sidewalk, and so you end up holding up traffic. Yes you are breaking some laws, jaywalking for example, but to me as long as you are not damaging property you should be free to march and shout if you like to.
As for the two somewheres, pick two important buildings to the opposition of your cause and walk between them, or think "around the roads of the Microsoft campus.
meaning cell phones, are not papers or persons... nor are your computer, digital camera, mp3 player, e-reader, your call history(all digitally stored these days), your amazon purchase history, Google search history, or your current pay if it is direct deposit... should I go on? So yes there needs to be some spirt applied, or just about the whole damn thing needs to be written.
As far as i can tell it does not provide any rights to hermaphrodites when read literally as they are neither man nor woman. Also of note that if one were writing a literal document, shouldn't every term be defined in a non-ambiguous way in the document itself?
I do agree that literal is better than just the spirit, but there are some holes in it for this day and age then.
How much energy in the gas consumed actully makes it to the wheels? Maybe lighting it on fire isn't the way forward, or maybe a more efficient burning process should be used. If you could extract more usable energy out of the same volume of gas you could keep several of the things you listed and still get better gas millage.
Anyways, I generally agree with you, although there are several cars out now that get >40mpg highway and they seem to be selling well. Golf/Jetta TDI, Cruze Eco, prius, Focus, insight for example.
for SSDs and other such OS independent stuff, i like http://www.silentpcreview.com/ Ony site that i have found with a load cell to test manufacturers claims on PSUs, including the efficiency ones, same goes for fans (both CFM and sound)
As for video cards, Assume that non-bleeding edge desktop cards from nvidia just work, as do intel "cards" but with poor performance. AMD/ATI cards may or may not work, and even if they do only sometimes with the right versions of the kernel, X, and catalyst.
Printers are at openprinting.org (if it is back up), but you could always just get an HP and expect it to work.
I use google to find newegg comments about hardware if i'm looking for something else. Gennerly if it works on ubuntu, i can have it working on gentoo without issue.
Sorry, I started dismissing it when they sat on a fairly major bug/regression for a week, and then had a big article about how bugs/regressions do not get fixed in the kernel.
If you find a bug/regression report it to LKML, don't expect the linux devs to watch the output of your little test suite. Don't get me wrong, I really like the testing, just that when they see something like this, and have it narrowed down to a few commits, freaking report it so it can get fixed.
I'd love to try out SpaceChem. I downloaded the linux port. It crashed, and gave me 0 error message as to why. It did create a log file, but that was not in plaintext and it was too much work to figure out what it is/was.
I then tried the windows version under wine, it needed the.Net framework, which as expected failed to install. Anyways looked like an awesome game, too bad i can't play it. I was all ready to shell out $5-$10 for a copy.
Yes because all businesses should avoid filthy profit and work for the betterment of man...
Most came out a winner with iTunes. We got a sane price for music, a legal avenue for purchase, and access to a huge collection of high quality tunes, but no linux support, direct support for other non-apple devices, or a simple way to recover/backup the collections.
could you find me a production car from that time with >=500 cid? that had roughly the same cost (as a percentage of median household income) as a 25K-35K modern sports sedan?
to be honest with out car racing many of the "efficiency" improvements would not have been made in road cars.
1) There are a lot of racing classes that require stock production cars simply fitted with harnesses and roll cages. 2) Making the fuel more dense, and the engine/motor more efficent means taking less fuel for the race, which means a lighter car, which means faster.
as for your bicycle comment... let me know how you would like to do 16 miles one way at -20F while taking you to work and your kid to school. Assuming a good clip of 15 MPH average, my one way route would take right around an hour... so 1 hour to eat/shower/dress + 1 hour to work + 4 hours of work + 1 hour lunch + 4 more hours of work + 1 hour of ride home + 1 hour to eat, check the news, etc + 8 hours of sleep == 20 hours of my day. sweet! that leaves 4 hours to spend with my kids, wife, etc... anyways, make a stop at the store on the way home, get a flat time, stay late a work to finish a project by the dead line and that 4 hours goes damn fast.
seems to me that someone missed lemans and world rally of the 60s and 70s. None of the Detroit muscle cars even participated, the ford GT40 did, but it was purpose built to win lemans. I don't know about you but where I drive I hardly get over 70( and that's above the speed limit), but I know of some fun twisty =40 and =55 MPH roads. Taking a high torque low top speed car on one of those at near the speed limit but getting to drive all the corners sounds more fun to me than a short blast down a track on a day that I paid for...
One of these could be a blast in a 4 motor all wheel drive lightweight electric car and i really couldn't care at all about it's top speed(over 80 MPH), or it's 1/4 mile times. The 0-60 is interesting, but what are the 15 to 45 or the 10 to 45 times, and how many G can it do on a skid pad(note there seems to be a limit around 1G right now without major areo effects)?
i'd bet a roll cage, harness, helmet and HANS device, weigh less than the air bags/safety systems in most new cars. Lighter cars mean better performance and less accidents due to better maneuverability and stability. I would expect the devices I listed earlier to be safer as well. Just as a thought, the best way to make sure the passengers in a car don't hit anything damaging is to simply make sure they don't move, instead of trying to make a pillow appear in a few microseconds.
I'd love an electric car, but i'm not sure where I would plug it in at my apartment or at my work. Also what is the range when it is using electric heat to make -25F air something at least above freezing, say 45F or better yet 80F.
I'd bet that a good 1.6-1.8L turbo diesel is about the same cost as a 70's big V6 and may be about the same speed. I'd bet that an equally expensive 3 phase motor would be faster than that 70's big V6. anyways there is more that one route to get from A to B.
find me a game that makes use of more than 2 cores...
Or better yet do a "while re-encoding this 1080P source(link) using these ffmpeg/libx264 settings(link) using n-1 cores, here is the FPS of ${GAME}" or even simply "we started a virus scan and then decided to play ${GAME}"
Can we please move past the single and dual threaded benchmarks? go look at the x264 encode times using all the cores for both chips, I'll wait... yep the AMD wins at a given price point. I don't know about you but i usually have $X to spend on an upgrade, and I try to maximise my bang for the buck. When $X is 3/4 the cost of that shinny i7-${BIGNUMBER}X it might as well not even exist.
I also find that doing OOP means a folding editor is just about necessary for me to work efficiently. Folding methods and classes makes others code much easier to glance through, as well as things i wrote a few years back.
well how much do you thing a falcon can carry? now how many do i need to life my 200LBS ass, and my 40LBS of gear 200 miles in 2 hours from a standing start on the ground?
I somewhat agree with your for the drone/UAV market and if this article had been about that and I had mod points i may have given you a few.
As a note flexible/flapping wing planes are under development, but it turns out they are hard to control. Perching UAVs are as well, with both solar and peristic recharging methods.
I wonder how far a goose/crane/swan/arctic turn flys per "leg"? I'm betting it's a damn long way.
Sure I can create and load my own keys, how do i do that without an OS? I go to newegg and buy a bare motherboard that says "made for windows 8" and has the sticker. Explain how I load the key needed to boot my livecd and use that to make a key for my custom built Linux kernel? You have to do this with nothing but the one CD you got from a friend how is out of town now.
tell me about it. My android tablet keeps getting the mobile version of sites, even when google has said that user-agents without mobile should get the full view.
I'll likely keep this rig for 3-4 years. I do plan on buying two to three more "computers" in that span. I'd like a new server, smaller, lower power, add a few more 2TB drives to my 2 disk raid 5. I'd also like a boxee/XBMC computer in the bedroom to hook up to the TV. To be honest, I'm considering slapping the TV tuner in it and keeping the standard def cable. I wonder is the HD comcast stuff on clear QAM or not?
for an example of carbon fiber + Ti and carbon fiber + Magnesium see a modern F1 car. The "survival cell" is basicaly just a Ti bath tub held together by carbon fiber.
please please stop assuming that when you say "H264" there is a single version. for example my old phone and PS3 did not share a level. My current phone (htc glacier) might share a level i haven't looked.
PS3 requires level 4.1 main or higher, and my old phone stopped around level 3.0 base

lol, i love the ubuntu people, that don't know they can just log in as root to do a bunch of things and then log out...
sudo foo
sudo bar
sudo start foo
sudo start bar
su -
foo
bar
start foo
start bar
exit
here is a thought...

They should port it to android.

I was wondering the same my self. I tend to go for the 720P stuff over the 1080i for the same reasons. It scales up nicely.

I imagine other smaller things like washers and rivets will be 3rd party as well, copper wire, hydraulic hoses, etc.
no, but the DSP does, you are forgetting most ARM CPUs have extra hardware to handle video/audio/etc decoding.
Depends, my tablet is mostly backlight usage even when watching movies, so not much.

sorry rant over now...
