Oooh, we are like yang and ying. My interest seems to be declining with each revision. 3.0 was really exciting and new, 3.11 had shares and stuff, 95 wasn't all that fantastic, 98 was like a bugfix of 95, 2000 was a hugely pleasant surprise, XP meh, Vista pah, 7 is barely registering at all.
Interesting. My parents and grandparents were manual workers leaving education about age 13, I never went to university and I support the evolution and scientific method, where my forebears didn't have much scientific understanding but still maintained 'religion is all a load of bullshit' or words to that effect.
Heh, all the time is right. I spent about £25 on a keyboard when I built my 286 in approx 1990, and it has been used on every desktop machine I have had since. Which is more than can be said for the serial mouse and the 40MB hard disk.
I don't _want_ to see the best quality that my connection and system load can spare at any given instant, I want the best quality available so I can store it locally and transcode it to a less cpu-intensive format if necessary.
Basically, set up an FTP server and fill it with quality clips and let the fricken end-user worry about how to view it once he has it.
Sounds neat. I shall get it immediately. Well, right after I get Windows 7, which will be after I get Vista, which will be after i get XP which will be after I decide microsoft have done anything worthwhile after Windows 2000.
It seems the more elegant solution, to turn the analogue amplifiers way up to compensate for an un-normalised weak digital signal, right up to the point when you get an email and the speaker cones hit you in the face.
Your comments seem reasonable just so long as you are the fastest vehicle on the road and thus can alter road position without disappearing under the wheels of a vehicle approaching from behind. But it is your life, so you have to go with what you think works best. Good luck. (This is not sarcasm. I wish you well)
Heh, if the "can only run virtual apps" processor is insufficient to run linux, I will be very surprised. My guess at the requirements for WINDOWS 8 PRO CLASSIC FOR CLOUD would be quintuple quad core at 5.7GHz.
This sounds like it could be even more useful with further development. You could make the reflective area into an actual mirror and mount it on the handlebars. You will never get cyclists to turn their heads to look behind them or give signals before they change lanes or before they suddenly veer into the centre of the road because there is a parked car 600 yards ahead, but with proper training they might develop enough responsibility to use a mirror.
Inventor: Hey, bicycle enthusiasts! Want to buy a neat safety device?
Cyclists: Sure! We are all about safety, look at the styrofoam on our heads and these lycra shorts! We care about safety because many of us are killed or injured in the most baffling circumstances.
Inventor: Ah, ok! This is a device that projects a cycle lane onto the road so that traffic behind you is made more aware of your presence on the road.
Cyclists: 'Be-hind'? What is 'be-hind'? Is it something to do with my shorts?
Inventor: Not shorts related. Behind you. To your rear. The traffic coming up behind you.
Cyclists: Traffic coming up behind us? What are you talking about?
Inventor: You know, when you look behind you and..
Cyclists: LOOK BEHIND? Are you crazy? Your words don't make any sense.
Inventor: Well, when you turn your head..
Cyclists: TURN the HEAD? You are nuts! The head doesn't turn! The head looks down at the front wheel spindle. You are a crazy man!
Darwin: Dude, you are wasting your time with those cyclists.
I think you are too harsh. The forty year old lashed-up crapular cine film of a broadcast mechanically converted from analogue slowscan is much better than any realmedia one-iframe-then-buffering-then-crash movie.
Meh, I have been bored by Michael Jackson's lame music and antics since the mid seventies. You don't have to be part of the 'current young generation' to dislike him.
OMG! Could this be a way to make linux the most widely used OS? Write a GUI that looks like the computers on TV? Although you would need a monitor that projected the text onto the user's face.
Oh no, they dropped windows classic menu option? Lame. If I can't turn all the crap off, I don't want it. Not that i particularly want it, but if and when it arrives preloaded that will be a big incentive to get rid.
Why not just pump 10 bar of pressure into the space scuttle so that the gap opens up again? It is supposed to take 1 atmosphere of pressure more than the outside, yes?

My only chance is to filter my air through this huge pile of empty pie wrappers!
What's to stop your relative being undercut? I am sure I can not-grow corn a few bucks cheaper than him. Maybe I should write to the gubmint?

... but my butt crack only has one colon. :-(
WTF? How do poets afford to eat?
I think that the crux of the matter is that the audio signal in the problematic film clips had _not_ been normalised.

I see them on the roads every day.

Stupid question. A forest is a thing, therefore it *will* have at least one woman interfering with it.
If so, you just need a home page full of ads since almost everyone will hit the back button as soon as they see it.
You had sewers? I had to use field mice to nibble the holes in punch cards.
