Please consider that the oil warning light is actually a low oil pressure warning, which can have a wide variety of causes, low oil levels being a common one.
If your car doesn't have an oil contents sensor in the oil pan, only newer cars tend to have one AFAIK, your engine is operating in damaging/dangerous conditions whenever the light comes on
Of all the lights on the dashboard it's the worst one to ignore.
A loss of lubrication will sooner or later result in a piston seizure, which is pretty dangerous. It will block the power wheels...
According to some stats found via google, australia has about 15 million computer users.
According to some aussie goverment site a drivers licence costs about 100$ in fees, and 100$ each year for renewal.
OTOH it only buys you 1% of a Bank of America, so maybe we should make up some other fees too, how about a CPU Fan rotation speed based environmental preservation fee or stuff....
Maybe because they tend to get worn off quite quickly?
I only recently changed them on both my cars, they were in really bad shape, the good news is, the cost about 6-12$ each, so if you are comfortable fixing it yourself thats even better news.
Just saying.
Because that kind of "compass simulation" is a major PITA.
It doesn't even work that good in a car, where you travel at far higher speeds, so the system will get way better datapoints for a far better projection.
When you are on foot it will take quite a distance until you pick up enough good datapoints so that it is meaningfull.
And it would be most usefull if the map on your mobile is just oriented correctly, and when you turn hold your mobile the map is now correclty oriented again. Thats completely impossible using GPS.
The problem with package inserts (at least here in europe) is that if there is even a small chance of a rather uninteresting and non-dangerous drug interaction it will end up in the package insert, why? liability! And at least here the package insert usually doesn't specifiy which interaction has been encountered, and the same goes for the doctors version of "package inserts".
Same goes for side effects, I'd say anything you do, eat, take or otherwise endulge in can have effects on your body that are undisirable.
In my opinion the pill (well there are differenct kinds, i think we are talking oestrogen based) is a very save medication which has been tested for decades, and I often have to wonder how high the correlation (not even speaking of causality) between pill and sideffects realy is.
Still in this case, the humans would also get the wrong data and act accordingly.
Speed indicator failure is one of the worst instrument failures that can happen to you.
I suggest this self experiment: drive on a long borring highway and don't look at your speedometer for lets say 30 minutes.
Now imagine the same thing without any windows and your car rocking in all directions.
GPS won't help anyways because it gives you your speed relative to the ground, which is pretty useless for actually flying the airplane. It's like swimming in one of those counterflow swimmingpools, you know that your speed relative to the groud is 0, yet you will have to swimm at a certain speed or crash against the back wall.
-) Not pressing TOGA early enough (Take Off / Go Around reduces the engine stress limitations and thereby powers the engines up quicker)
-) The citing of "OEB 06/2: Baro-Setting Cross Check" at Wikipedia is a real WTF, why would you look at the baro altimeter at this altitude when you got a radio altimeter which is way more precise when you are this close to the ground.
But it has always been that way, I don't think breath tests are accurate enough to prove a case in court. They are only an indication if a blood test is needed or not. And often somebody is just above the limit in the breath test and just below the limit in the blood test.
It's a tax you pay for owning a TV and so becoming able to watch the public TV services.
GEZ is the agency which you have to pay, and which controls that everyone who has a TV pays.
And yes the german people are not very happy with this.
If you have got the normal Adobe Acrobat Reader, you can just use the "Select Image" Function and than copy the image out of the document, without the Specimen...
Only when he gets a public IPv6 adress;)
maybe your embeded fridge operations system will be based upon Windows and have the messaging service running;)
You will get a popup "got milk?" when you open the fridge *g*
And the tornado just hit the city!
And the city has gone down in flames;)
But IMO it should look like the web page grew from a town to a big city *g* just in a few minutes/hours.
Would be really interessting to see what it looked like before and after slashdoting, if the program is able to handle it anyway;)

This being slashdot i think along the lines of:
Chicks dig the airforce boys and! we got dark basements you can work in.
...then I'd rather just use it to buy the songs legally, which makes the whole issue moot.
No it doesn't!
You are pressuming that everyone charged is guilty. Thats a pretty bad attitude!
Wait until someone cracks your network or computer to do something illegal and you'll think twice about statements like that.
This beeing slashdot you should know what the current state of computer and network security (especially wireless networks) is.

What came to mind when I read the name:
;)
Bing sucks - Because Its Not Google
One has to wonder how the creators of the name feel about it *g*. I mean didn't anybody think of it or what?

Another interesting read btw.:

Depends what you mean by 'metric' system.
;). But volts are volts :)
If you are talking about the SI units, then the correct unit for an angle would actually be radian.
It is the arc length on the unit circle. So it ranges from 0 to 2pi.
And to nitpick the unit of time is seconds
Still in this case, the humans would also get the wrong data and act accordingly.

Main problems for AF296 (IMO):

And the answer will be: zzaappp!
;).
Pro: Someone will finaly stand up to the MPAA/RIAA
Con: Earth will be in ashes, well maybe it's not that much of a con
I guess that depends upon your choice of axioms.
:/
If you build an algebraic structure with just one element 1==0...
okay I am offtopic now
... it tries to come up with a technical solution for a social problem
;)
No I'm not talking about the porn
And of course its also violates the human rights...
Here in Austria its the same, and in Germany too.
