Disable the motor (maybe just remove the carriage), and set it up to take pictures of things going past it. Cameras like this are used at finish lines at athletic meets. Interesting distortion. Might be an interesting project for someone still at school - I was once around the teachers trying to work out who won a 100m dash: some of them were a little bald(er) by the end of the day.
This was a big problem for early ABS systems, especialy here in Australia, with lots of gravel roads. Braking on dirt involves the wheels sliding in the gravel, biting through the surface to gain traction, evin in normal, slow-down-for-the-corner stuff. Many people had to get the ABS disabled, because they simply couldn't stop the car.
When finaly introduced in a locally built car, they readjusted the ABS to allow the wheels to slide somewhat before activating. They also had to make it work POLA when on wheel was on bitumen, and the other on gravel: a common thing around here.
Oh, and everyone with an ABS car should do an panic stop on a deserted road sometime, so they know what it feels like before the really need it.
Yep! And let's be thankfull for the electronic goodness they do have. A few weeks ago I was driving through Cairns, NQ, Australia (and I know that doesn't quite qualify as 'CITY', but never mind), pulled up at some traffic lights, heard a kind of bump behind a few seconds later, and a car parked itself in the shrubbery beside me. Yes, I am thankfull that he had ABS beneath his left foot, or I'd have had an uncomfortable evening. (He beached himself in the pinebark mulch, by the way. For all I know he might still be there.)
No. I'm all for whatever goodies the engineers can give us. Road casualties have fallen ( in per distance travelled terms) as far as they are going too, for as long as humans remain in charge of cars. Give them (and me!) as much help as you can.
Pauliene does little wrong, apart from being shamelessly used by some crooks, and does a jail term, ending her career. (No, I don't agree with her politics, but they only consisted on repeating the ideas of part of the comunity back to them, which is an effective political strategy used by many.)
This is reminiscent of what Apple has done for a long time. They alwasy have pushed Apples and Macs into schools, through heavy discounts and "Apples for the students" schemes (50?K worth of dockets from a certain supermarket would get the school a mac clasic, if I rememeber correctly) aimed to get every student trained in using their machines. It was a good idea that worked reasonably well all round.
So, it's not suprising that they tried to do the same thing here. But I agree that they should have rejected it. Getting the source code into the hands of a few million inquisitive youngsters is a Good Thing, (with out collective mindset, of source: there will be some that will shudder at what they might do with it!!), and Apple would demand DRM to prevent those copies ending up being black-marketed around the world. Still, nice try!
The diference is that pdf/svg files contain instructions for the program made to render them. wmf contains instructions that are passed to the OSes rendering engine. So, a svg file could take over a poorly-written application, and act with that program's permissions. A malicious wmf could take over the system, regardless of the application's permissions.

You may well get somewhere. Remember, a paper waranty is only an attempt to limit your common law rights - and rarely is it a successful one.

I started using adzap to remove popups at the proxy stage, and has worked well. It also zapped ads, but that was a side effect. I have continued to block ads because so many are dishonest. The ads that look like dialog boxes, JS application windows that masquerade as error messages and so forth. With more ad makers finding ways around pop-up blockers, there is really no alternative.
just to clafify: Canon does support mac OSX. I was referring to support in the OS wourld - linux and BSD. That said, they have abandoned discontinued devices fairly early in the past: some fairly recent printers were not supported properly in XP. Users had to cludge with WIN2000 drivers, with poor results.
What this means to current byers is that devices available now may be unsupported in macOSX-intel86, as canon has not ported drivers in the past.
I recently had to replace my old printer, and would have loved to get one of the new canons - The duplex, cd-printing one, probably. But, as canon does not want us non-windows customers, I now have a HP. And, yes, it produces better-looking prints that anything else available in this town - kiosks with over-saturated dye-sublimation printers.
Ah yes. I remember having to find out how to disable that monstrosity on one of my early computers. Just the sort of thing that MS would copy. I'm sure I've still got it on an old CD somewhere. I wonder if it works under wine?
Yes, I did gloss over alot of facts, and, as I stated, it was a trollish title. Still, it trolled up an interesting conversation, which was what I wanted. I believe that many of the replies deserved mod points more than my original post.
Yes, you are right: Climate change wouldn't be stopped by pulling out only electricity generation. Although it is a hugh part of the equation.
US is not the only country where this is happening: I cannot see nuclear energy in Australia. Governments are taking damage on plans to upgrade the only medical/research reactor in the country. Uranium export is also under constant threat from lobyists.
Well, as I stated, it was just a theory. I wanted to see what thoughts others would come up with. And I succeded: some very useful and interesting facts have been produced.
This is what I think to be the key quote from Wiki (yes, mostly because I agree with it):
"Scientists have not yet realized that the term planet no longer belongs to them. But, quite clearly, it does not... The word "planet" has been around much longer than modern science." It may very well be that children will continue to learn of the nine planets in school while scientists work in a solar system of eight, or hundreds, or even abandon the term "planet" altogether. For now, "planet", like "continent," is a word caught between the scientific and cultural worlds, without a clear meaning.
The theory goes like this: Environmental lobyists successfully made nuclear power unpopular. They did this by beating up the dangers of accidents, and the difficulties of storing the waste products until we work out what to do with them. 200 years at the outside, not the x million year half-life. By so doing, they stifled the development that would have lead to much safer, more efficient systems. As an example, the pebble bed systems being developed in China.
With nuclear power out of the equation, we had to turn to other areas. This meant the only viable scheme for baseload power generation: Fossil fuels. Mainly coal. No, do not talk about renewables. Solar is far too expensive and inefficient, wind would require so many turbines it would cause climate change, and, while hydro power has proved succesfull in countries that are geographically suitable, just you try damming a river these days!
Replacing nuclear with coal was thought to be a win, as it would be a decade or so before they gathered enough evidence to prove the Greenhouse Effect. So, we continue to mine, ship and burn coal, a procedure which, incidentally, kills Chernobles of miners every year. (maybe I exagerate: figures, anyone?)
So we reach today. CO2 being pumped into the atmosphere by the gigatonne, the temperature inexorably rising, and the nuclear solution still a dirty word. Well done, Greenpeace!!
Yes, I do that: It's a filter that labels the item, and removes it from the inbox.
The only difference is that I can still view everything in the all mail label, which is very usefull. No, folders are an anacronism that deserves to die.
All I need is a way to filter based on header fields, which would make my filters bulletproof. Yes, being able to filter on label:none would be useful too.
Maybe not. NOx are caused by excess oxygen reacting with the nitrogen. Adding a little hydrogen may well mop up that oxygen, reducing NOx. However, if taken too far, there may be insufficient oxygen to properly burn the carbons, leading to increased Carbon Monoxide. Such are the trials of life.
Of course, the answer is to take images some time apart, and then subtract the two. Then you only see the revealed pixels, randomly distributed. With an hour or two's worth of pixels randomly spread, the picture should be easily discernable.
They realy have to change their script to redo the random noise to make this obvious crack fail.
I Live in North Queensland, have lived through a high force 3 cyclone 20 years ago, and have a father who is a carpenter.
It really suprises me when I see buildings in more southern climes loose their entire roof, with battens still attatched. Such simple things as a batten strap, which ties the battens to the rafters, seem to be unknown. Up here, they're de_regieur.
However, for places like New Orleans, May I suggest a simple, 1 line building code?
1.a. Don't.

A cheif magistrate sends a threatening email to a fellow magistrate vowing to retaliate if they don't stop their (probably just) complaints against her, gets convicted, but the conviction is overturned on a technicality (aparently, magistrates can threaten witnesses with impunity!), she is compensated for her imprisonment and reinstated!

Re wind turbines: quite easily - They pull energy from wind, therby slowing it, and at least disturbing it. Here's the result of a little googleing: http://www.livescience.com/environment/041109_win
Thank you, to everyone who added details to this thread. You have made for an interesting discussion. Mod up the lot of you!

Less Massive = Has less Mass. It's a more accurate way of saying "Weighs less", which would have had us scientific pedants up in arms.
