Actually, it turns out the problem is moot. Despite what the summary says, your engine will not stop. It will simply reduce power output until you are at same cruising speed.
But, if you think having your car cruise down to zero on the highway without a good chance of an accident occurring, then I don't think you have been on the highway very much. I've seen accidents caused by rubbernecking which wouldn't happen if folks were good drivers. It only takes a small percentage to throw a system into chaos.
I see nothing like that in the application. Granted it was long, and I did a quick scan, but nothing jumped out at me as being more complicated than checking for numerals and hyphens.
Where are you buying your hard drives? Granted, we buy business class at our company, but of thirty we have purchased over the last two years, one has had a couple bad sectors, certainly no failures.
In that you could easily make dozens or hundreds of copies of the data, store it and play the numbers that several copies will survive over a few millennium. Not sure how much stone you would need to do that with tablets...
Unsolicited advice: If you aren't going to do the work, don't second guess the tech doing the work. Likely you are right. However, say something does go wrong with the drive... now you are the one who takes the blame. Best to go "uh huh... yea... sounds good" and leave it like that.
Ummmm. yea. You try writing an operating system in such a way that it can run applications that were designed for an older version of the operation system. Then throw in apps that don't bother with standard application programming guidelines. I have seen so many commercial pieces of software that write user config files to the program files directory or do something else equally stupid. Then Windows actually makes some gains in security and these apps break. Then it is Windows' fault.
I finally figured out the point of idle. You see... when I am logged in, I cannot see the idle section.l I have it blocked entirely. But when I am logged off, I always see a stupid picture or the article on the front page.
So, I log in so I don't see the crap. Then it hit me. If you are trying to get all the metrics you can on a person, it helps to have them logged in. Before idle, I stayed logged unless I wanted to make a comment. now i am in the habit of logging in just to avoid the assault on my senses.
Sorry, I don't think this is entirely true. I know my grandmother owned several hundred acres in Alabama. A company contracted with her to use her land for wood. Part of the contract was that it would not be clear cut, and trees would be planted to replenish. Part of that contract also stipulated that they would exclusively have the rights to repeat the process a number of years later under the same contract.
I agree that there needs to be a federal ban on clearcutting and regulation on how it may be cut down. But based on my grandmother's experience, I don't think this would make it unviable.
You can burn a tree and use the energy for something useful. Then plan another tree and remove the carbon from the air. You'd almost think it was a renewable source of energy.
But, wouldn't you ultimately be using the same amount of oxygen regardless of the concentrator? i think your lungs are simply not having to work as hard to get the same amount of oxygen. Otherwise, you'd be hyperventilating. Or maybe I am not conceptualizing it correctly...
That might be interesting on an airplane. So the question becomes, if this battery is so awesome, and it is used in laptops, then what? Do the airline begin banning laptops on their planes? Only ones that have this type of battery? How do they check?
So, getting back to the original question which TFA does not answer: how much 02 does this thing consume?
What about a services that would let you rent a game for two days for a couple bucks, then if you like that would go toward the purchase of the full game. I know when I was into console gaming back in the original NES days, I would have loved that. I remember buying a couple games that I beat inside of three days. $50 bucks back then to a kid making $20/week... that really sucked:)

Perhaps it should be Web 2.0 RC1?

I can quote it for you now and make you R-O-T-F-L-O-L
By defeating the Iron Sheik.
What are you talking about?
Horsepower's units are feet, pounds and minutes
Watts are Newtons, meters and seconds
All of those units directly convert.
Based on my almost non-existent understanding of French, it looks like each engine produces 2*100kW. Why it is reported this way, I do not know.
Your days must me significantly longer than mine. On mine there are 86,400 seconds per day.

Only if it is stored properly. There are plenty of other inscriptions on other stone tablets that are lost to us due to erosion.

I have idle blocked intentionally. Why am I seeing this crap?

Kudos Slashdot on a brilliant plan.
Please show me what part of that page makes you believe plants consume oxygen.

They consume carbon dioxide and release oxygen.
CO2 + 2 H2O + energy becomes CH2O + H2O + O2

Ummmmm... I am more referring to its consuming oxygen that might otherwise be used for breathing.
You are in luck.
