Than I'm not sure that the metod would resolve impurities (of course pure speculation; feel free to prove mo wrong). Collisions...I thought also about this "cubic km", suggesting large objects...which would "drove" bigger "projectiles" to them (but of course many factors would have to be considered - how it's dangerous for given mass/area of "target", how easy it is to "shut it down"; so ultimately I'd opt for no jumping to conclusions either (terrifiying - I'm realising that not much can be said without some research on the matter:/ )). Microgravity - yes, of course, but it would make the cost higher.
Sure, mod down without arguments (I'd really be glad glad to hear arguments that prove I'm wrong). Or perhaps someone dosn't believe something I say about me...that believe...almost anything on/. (oh, and one disclaimer I forgot about: by "fun" I don't mean the same as "interesting/entertaining for selected few individuals")
Don't jump on my most minor point. But if you inssist: not fast & dangerous != not fun. As for the rest - then DON'T use so called "reallistic" games. As i pointed out in parent, RR is more realistic, in the sense that more closely resembles real experience, in parts that can be resembled at all. PS I'm a student too, moreover without my own car at all (never had, won't have in some time). So please don't tell me I'm biased or something. I simply know what is fun.
The parent is joking, but seriously, the concept from news story is trash. Apparently the authors of this "controller" don't realize that the only thing you can "simulate" about driving this way are the irrelevant surface details - because the true experience comes from the physical sensations of high-speed cornering and battling with the protesting steering wheel and the frisson of genuine life-threatening danger. i personally like when authors of game/controller abandone the idea of technically "accurate" realism straight off. Instead give me a videogame that knows it's a videogame, and is proud of the fact - like for examle ridge racer or wipeout. With that conceptual hurdle out of the way, RR's designers have been free to go to town creating a work of sheer unadulterated gameplay, released from the constrictions of reality and hence - ironically - able to create a game so tense and fast and rewarding and flat-out exciting that it's a lot closer to the experience of racing a real car than any statistic-obsessed trainspottery "simulator" could ever dream of. I like to keep real life and videogames separate. After all, if you want a precise and detailed experience of what it's like to drive a real car, why don't you just go out and drive a damn car?
This has been done SEVERAL times where I live for promotional purposes (Subaru Impreza + some rally game). I'd guess in other places too. Why bother reporting?
When you would want to move robotic arm in space in a speedy fasion, inertial mass is still there (but of course such arm could be lighter than on earth, so less mass, so quick movement; but it would tend to cancel out if you want to move it really quickly). Storage: problem with radiation and collisions with junk. Cleanroom - in case of microbes we have more reliable methods...as for dust I can imagine its share of problems And producing perfect spheres/etc. can encounter problems from microgravity from spacecraft itself...other than that many uses you mention could be viable of course.
Hmmm...1999 Megane 1.4 (new model from that year) - almost 7l (well, practically you have to count as 7). Perhaps it's because of mostly city driving... Oh, and I'd say those are SI, it's simply 0,00007 l/m given in more practical form, utilising short way of writing "1000"; if it used some units derived from SI units than one could eventually argue that it isn't SI - but OTOH such unit could be as well written as mathematical relationships between basic SI units so one could argue that it's the same...overall: uninteresting issue, it's accepted here that units derived from basic SI units simply are SI...
Uhmm...I suppose the visits to psychologist didn't continue after diagnosis? Because he should teach living in the family with ODD, and certainly would oppose use of it as argument...
I'm glad such diagnosis in my country can only be done be specialised psychologist/psychiatrist...(overall - it's just completelly different landscape, we don't afraid to oppose wishes of the parents, among many other things)
Well, everybody know what to expect from AC, but...funny, engine of my Megane is way past 150 000 km and it's in absolutelly perfect condition - I don't have to care about oil at all, I can simply wait with supplement or replacement (I do the latter) until scheduled major servicing. Furthermore, somehow most experienced drivers/etc. here suggest braking this way when you can (lack of them in US probably means that automatic do make a difference...or that such style of drivirg isn't suitable for other then technical/rational reasons). And...such practice should in theory lead even to lesser stress on the engine...more uniform wear? (but don't hold my word for that)
That's a problem with SUV...because, for example, I in my megane would have much greater chance of survival in collision with modern truck (and I mean real truck; and "modern one", not just "produced now") than SUV...in the first case safety cage with what's left from the engine compartment (if anything) would bounce off the truck (seen crash test - megane vs. renault truck); in the second case I would partially drive under the vehicle...which isn't that nice
The concept of slow braking comes from this: modern cars, when you brake with the engine, detect the fact and practically cut off fuel - it isn't needed to keep the engine running. But when you stop with brakes, engine at idle consumes considerably more fuel to keep itself running. Plus, as others posters noted, you stay at lights longer (you arrived earlier), thus the idle work of the engine is longer. Note: I'm not sure if this works the same in automatic transmission; here everything is manual...
Hmmm...that could be tied to his moviemaking easily. Especially movies full of emotions on many levels. Yes, he could have problems recognizing them as usual people...but that could learn him to percept them more conciously...and thus direct them better in others on the plan.
Well, I'm not sure how to pronounce "sh";) But seriously - you're right (and btw, I really wonder how the ones who can pronounce only English read my nick on/.:> ). As for Poland & electricity - when the largest brown coal power plant was beeing built (which produces ~half of our electricity), it was meant to be temporal: the nuclear was planned. Unfortunatelly after Tchernobyl there was mass hysteria about it (the plant wouldn't have been like in the Tchernobyl = dangerous), which mostly preserves to this day. Basically even though a little over half of the population would agree for construction somewhere in Poland, 90% of them says "no f***ing way in my backyard" (I wouldn't mind...nuclear powerplant "softens" the microclimate:> )

I'll keep the convenience of clean messing inside my current, completely quiet, oil-free PC, anyday.

They're getting closer and closer to the real thing...maybe some day they'll have an idea to simply use normal card, start the engine and drive...
Oh, and of course current delays aren't bacause of cooperation. But the opposite is true.
And that is how ESA Hopper will be launched (if ever...)

Well, I'd argue the cooperation went really well: if US had it's own station, it would be abondoned by now.

Parent post doesn's say about actual cases, but about overdiagnosis.

Why you people so hated/hate SI, I can't get into any meaningfull conversation involving comparison ;P

Actually I'm not even sure if braking with the engine works as effectively with automatic transmission :P

AdAware & Spybot weren't that good lately. And surprisingly, MS antispyware is very good (although slow)
Technically I have DSL, but it's only 128kbit. Do you think there's any point in installing GWA?

If some ISP would be doing this, the customers would simply flew to another...
