I was thinking if it could run boxee with netflix support it would be great for behind the tv that is already mounted to the wall with the vesa mount. Or in the kitchen to drive a touchscreen. Give me this with high bitrate VC1 and h264 and DTS decoding and I'd gladly shove one in the wall behind my TV. The way it is i already need a small switch in my living room... TV, PS3, HTPC, xbox360, If i had a separate bluray player, some receivers have Ethernet connections. very quickly i hit around 6 connections in my living room. being able to stick one of those behind a wall would be nice for the cords.
Also it looks like you could just cram it in a standard depth double gang outlet box here in the USA. A bit of plexi/polycarb and you have a vesa mounted system.
not all safety standards need to be met for "road legal", motorcycles are road legal, and are missing air bags for example. Mass produced production cars have crash test requirements. Kit cars or customs do not have to meet them all. Tings like safety belts for example I believe are required even in kit cars.
I would say you car more about acceleration more than you do about top end speed. No good having a car that can go 300mph, if it takes it 20 minutes to get there.
I for one would love a car that went 0-75 in say, 4 seconds, and topped out around 90-100 a minute or 4 later. 0-30 should be in the first 2 car lengths.
I think you are greatly underestimating the amount of people that travel over holidays. My inlaws are ~700 miles away, for those of you in Europe, think Berlin to Paris. Parts of my family live within a few blocks, but others are 50-100 miles away. Now how many cars would rental companies have around simply for the peek demand over holidays? would they have enough, or would you need to book them at the maximum allowed time. Also it's just about impossible to rent a car at 18-21, and 21-24 is hard was well. Of course all of that would be solved if we had a working train*/bus system. If we had one of those i very well could have no reason to drive.
* before you mention Amtrack, the only route to my inlaws includes a bus, and a 3am drop off in not the nicest of neighborhoods. Not something i want to take my kids on. Nor do i define that as "working".
By contrast though, an "automatic" lawnmower to me is like a deadly roomba. So what is a riding lawnmower, a self propelled lawnmower, a powered lawnmower, and do we make distinctions based on fuel/power type?
and how to memorize arbitrary unit conversions....
quick, how many kgs is 1672mg?
right divide by 100, so 1.672kg. By having all the units be powers of ten, it makes it easy to do unit conversions. Just try cutting a recipe in half some time, how do you measure 1/6th of a cup of milk(2tbsp + 2 tsp). 40mL on the other hand is easy to measure.
sounds like he wants to use an amount of gravitational force a something causes. Although I thought gravity was also effected by density, see black hole.
You are assuming that all this software was written by "developers"... As an mechanical engineer i have written things using vba and autolisp that are likely now totally depended on. A lot of this sort of stuff is written adhoc with no guidelines but simply to automate something. Hell, a former company had a terminal based turbopascal (maybe) app that no one knew how it worked. i was told "I think we did some tests a while ago, and made a set of data points and fitted a function to those curves, and we use that function now", but of course nobody remembers what it is, and the people that wrote it had moved on as well.
but you missed, re-training, lost productivity, re certifying, supporting, and probably a few other costs as well. Re-training and lost productivity are going to have major $$ values with them. If your app handles sensitive data and needed to be certified, any re-write will cause you to have to pay for that again as well.
This would be true if it didn't present any new data to any new poeple, but Facebook has a record of totaly fucking up new features. Like the one were you could chat as anyone else, or the one where you could stealth friend people.
Any bet son if you can type in any 2 names and get back more info than the privacy settings would let you see looking at their page.
But it's not just me i have to make sure that doesn't post idiocy, but everyone that i do anything socially with. Since facebook has no way for me to remove photos of me posted by other users. The best i can do is remove the tag, but not remove me from the photo or my name from the comments, or have the photo taken down entirely.
Okay, so you charge a bank of good caps during the day slowly, and then when you get home you charge your car from those caps. Whats the problem? sure you can only charge 1 car if i did my math right, 31 hours. Looks like we'll(the USA) need to step up home services to 480V 3P. That should cut your "charge your charger" time down to a manageable 5.5 hours. Charge one car when you get home, and the second while eating breakfast in the morning. Not only that, but ho often do you do 300 miles in 1 day? so even if it took your home charger 2 days to be ready to charge your car again, It would likely be ready when ever you needed it.
ohh haven't..... For me, i'd like to be able to run flash from a webbroswer claiming to be IE on windows 7, so that places like hulu or A&E can't lock my TV out for being a TV and not a computer, granted my computer can receive TV signals so i'm not sure what the difference is.
Basicly with more and more content showing up online, I need flash + something claiming to be windows 7 and IE. The later is easy with squid, but i still need flash.
I can see around 19 APs from here, in 5 years if this takes off, i'll have 20 APs, and 30 TVs... that leaves -30 channels free. There may be enough room if you keep transmitters far enough apart, but that only works out in the country.
Slashdot Mirror
There's an app for that. Unfortunately, it wasn't approved by apple.
FTFY

i was thinking more like cars.thepiratebay.org and trucks.thepiratebay.org and appliances.thepiratebay.org and ... you get the idea.

i know, that $5 buys me 1/2 a small soda. or maybe 6 M&Ms...
XFCE for the last few years now... before that was IceWM, and before that was GNOME 1 or at least GTK1 based GNOME.
I think the GGP means a "real mower".
By contrast though, an "automatic" lawnmower to me is like a deadly roomba. So what is a riding lawnmower, a self propelled lawnmower, a powered lawnmower, and do we make distinctions based on fuel/power type?
at which temp and pressure? how deep is the 1000 cubic centimeters, as the bottom will be at a higher pressure than the top.
you missed, inches in a feet, feet in a yard, and yards in a mile, lbs in a bushel.

I thought Haiku's needed a seasonal reference and an expletive, counting "frelling" you still need a season in there...

I understand that money is tied up with these old application but how long do you want to sit there on IE6 and stop any chance of updating.
2014, when XP is no longer supported.

If anything looks different you will need to re-train staff, and if it had some 3rd certification that will need to be re-done if you touch the code.

In short it's not dev costs that are the issue.

Tape, camera, gimp, printer, copper board, and gelatin...
Now if you want to do 20 prints it should be doable on a medium sized hobby copper board.
perhaps that school is using students as a form of currency...
