Bad math. 60000 miles at 0.85 CENTS/mile would be about $510 for those tires. Not great for a small car, but much less than you'd spend for a larger car or something that requires performance tires.
Not if you're beaming all that energy down to Earth anyway. It still ends up as waste heat (minus some losses outside the atmosphere, before someone gets pedantic).
Well, laceration is an English word, but if it makes you feel any better, doctors around here were forced to stop using Latin abbreviations on prescriptions a few years ago. For anyone not familiar, there used to be commonly used Latin abbreviations for things like "take twice a day".
It's simply a different interface. Your suggestion is no better.
I personally like that applications stay open. Why should closing a window have anything to do with whether an application quits. Th best example is Mail. I close the window, but Mail continues to run and check for new messages. It changes it's dock icon to indicate that there are new messages. When i switch to it, it will reopen the window. In the meantime when I don't need it, there's no useless window cluttering up my screen or the dock.
Just because your used to Windows operating one way, that doesn't mean it's any more right or correct than another method.
Really? I graduated a few years ago with a Bachelors in Computer Engineering. I'm more in the hardware field, but when I was looking around $50K was basically the floor. This was for offers in Maryland which is rather expensive, but also in upstate NY, which is not. In fairness, I did have a little over a year of work experience from co-ops during school.
This was like ten years ago, but I've had a similar experience. We were booking a trip to Israel and wanted to stop in London for a few days on the way over. Adding the London stop to the trip raised the price by thousands. So we said screw it, just book us straight through to Israel. The flight we got had a stopover in, you guessed it, London. So we asked for a 5 day "layover" which they were happy to do at the much lower rate.
The first dedicated programming class I ever took was BASIC in high school taught by a woman named Grace Hopper. She wasn't quite old enough to be the same one though.
I thought my voicemail was like that. Then i pulled out the little card the phone company sent me when I signed up and found that you can hit a couple keys to jump to the end (I think it was *3 on mine).
While this may be done for large CPUs from Intel, AMD, etc., it's not standard practice for these kind of smaller SOCs. It's not worth the effort to lay out small peripherals like UARTs as separate blocks and tile them together. The CAD tools that are available can do it automatically and yield a much faster design when they're allowed to smudge the boundaries of blocks when it makes sense to do so.
I can tell you for certain that AT91SAM7X are not done with the method you describe.
I don't think that's the case here. It looks like those labels are really just a rough block diagram superimposed on a photo of the die. For example, most of what is below the label "Image Processor" looks like it is probably the cache for the ARM11. (Hard to be 100% sure since I mostly do chips with ARM7s and ARM9s.)
It wouldn't be a problem for the new species to reproduce. What you're missing is that it's not a single individual suddenly changing species. It's two separate populations of the same species gradually drifting apart until so many small changes pile up that they are no longer capable of interbreeding.
The change in any single individual must necessarily be small enough that it may still interbreed with those around it. But all these small changes can spread through the generations until the population as a whole has changed significantly. If two populations are separated, the changes will not spread between them and they will evolve in different ways.
That was basically my read as well. It sounds like there may be something interesting in the automatic error detection, but the writeup is much too vague to be useful.
I really don't see this going anywhere in the near future simply because of cost. You've just taken a $10 ASIC and replaced it with a $600 FPGA. ASICs may cost more than FPGAs in upfront design costs, but it you're going to use more than a thousand and can wait the extra few months, it's always going to be cheaper. Big FPGAs are expensive.
Funny you should mention the ATM example. I, embarassingly, did exactly that. And you know what. My bank did reimburse it. Bank of America if you're interested. In the long run, they'll end up making a lot more from em and my money than the $200 the incident cost them. It just makes sense for them to do it.
I certainly agree that this guys 15 pounds in two days thing is total bull. And I really don't think I'd want to try eating the 15+ pounds of food that would be required in two days to evemn attempt it. Conservation of mass and all that.
But you can gain muscle weight a bit faster than you suggest, without steroids. When I first started doing some weight training, around my 17th birthday, I went from 185lbs to 205lbs in a little over 2 months and simultaneously lost about an inch off my waist. No steroids involved. Frankly, I wasn't even trying to put on weight. No dietary changes, and not much of a structured weight regimen. Basically, just whatever I felt like doing that day.
You wouldn't happen to know if they plan to add King's Quest 6, would you? That was my favorite game from all of childhood and I've never actually seen the end.

And you should make every road a toll road and see the true cost paid directly by the users.

Whether or not he pays property tax on his car is going to depend a lot on what state he lives in. Some do have this.
Since it's a SALT flat, I think it's a safe bet that it's tied up in lithium chloride or some other SALT.
I think that's exactly the point they're trying to make. The prey overheats and stops before the man dehydrates.
NYC is in the Boston to Washington corridor.

Back in college, I, on multiple occasions, booked round trip flights with a return scheduled for "I don't care." just because of this.

Perhaps because "he" is the correct default in the English language?

In my experience, they sometimes actually were LAN parties. Quake 2 ran decently on the lab computers.
