"It actually talks to the computer which manages the engine, and it tells that computer to limit the available fuel to the engine so that it will not exceed a certain speed, whatever speed limit you're in," Dr Jobe said.
And if you are in heavy traffic? The guy behind you hits the brakes, the guy behind him slams on them. Then you have a pile up behind you. Sorry, but I have seen enough accidents caused by a disabled car on the other side of the freeway. Folks rubberneck and don't pay attention to what they should be. I can easily see something like this causing a chain reaction accident.
If you want to do something like this for commercial vehicles, it is much smarter to have a monitoring device with reports that go to supervisors. I mean can you imagine a bus barreling down the highway and having the power suddenly go off? How many folks do you think would be hurt or killed?
No weakly typed language can be fully object oriented. Sure it implements SOME of the paradigms of object oriented code, but not all. VB6 implemented SOME of the paradigms of OOP but got slammed for its shortcomings (and rightfully so). JS was never intended to be a full fledged programming language. Now it is being used as one. It is deficient for this purpose.
In all seriousness, when I worked for a bank, I would go outside with a legal pad and start drawing out the logic in terms of pictures. Away from the phone. Away from the co-workers.
At lunch one time, a coworker half jokingly said I only work 3 hours a day. My manager was there and remarked "Yeah, but he gets more done in those three hours than you do all day".
I tried to keep from smiling... however, in all seriousness, coding is 30% of programming. too many coders consider themselves programmers.
I then took the whole drive, and consolidated it into a 5 minute video, compressing 2500 miles driven in 2.5 days. Not bad reducing it down to 8.3% of the original drive time.
You drove 2500 miles in 60 minutes!? And I thought I drove fast.
And when your project is spread out of several, or many developers? And the project is added onto over a period of years? The paradigm of object oriented programming was born out of necessity. JavaScript is a horrible language to lay the foundation of a new generation of web apps.
JavaSCRIPT. Notice the script. It was never designed to be a full-fledged programming language, just a quick easy way to get some desktop style functionality into a web app. Now, we have turned it into something it was never designed for. No weakly typed application should ever be used for larger scale apps.
I have worked on apps with hundreds of thousands of lines of javascript. What a freaking nightmare. It is the equivalent of the earlier Visual Basic editions. Nice for writing a quick, dirty app. But scale it up to larger apps and it was just awful.
Mozilla claims on its Design Challenge website. "Today, 20+ parallel sessions are quite common; the browser is more of an operating system than a data display application; we use it to manage the web as a shared hard drive.
And here we see the next step in FireFox going down the drain. I want a browser not an OS. FireFox is bloated and crash prone, even more so that IE7. If Opera had the plug-in capability of Firefox, I'd move back to it.
I think there is a difference between "the smell of the diaper made me hurl" to "the smell caused me to go to the hospital". Maybe I am wrong, but I would tend to think some folks might have overreacted a bit to the stench. Sounds to me like one person became ill, and then the programmed herd instinct took over. Then, the cynical side of me wonders how many folks wanted a day off of work.
Untrue. The article explicitly states that the person cleaning the fridge was not affected (effected?) due to allergies which prevent her from smelling. Allergies do not give you superhuman resistance to chlorine gas.

Would there be any danger of using this in a confined space? Any clue on how much oxygen this thing is churning through?
... if you add a sixth dimension (time), you can store a near-infinite amount of information!
Retrieval is a bitch though.
As I always tell my passengers "tuck and roll... tuck and roll".
Yeah, it does:

Actually, considering his orientation, I might have.... but I really prefer not to think about it :)
You *think* before you code? WEIRDO!

And one more thing. Javascript the lingua franca of the web? It makes me ill.

I found the unknown Russian author's name: Steveski Ballmerski.
Since you cannot be bothered to look it up yourself, here is the source.
I dunno. Maybe we should ask the wife of their marketing executive.
between 29 and 850 picogram per cubic meter of air.
FTA: "between 29 and 850 picogram per cubic meter of air. "
We don't even USE metric over here in the States! DUH!
you can't win the game of whack-a-mole.
Actually, I believe I read about that game in one of the "requests for erotic services"...

Am I the only one who translates "fixed that for you" into "I'm a dumb, annoying fuck"?
Enterprise? You mean the 525 episodes where they couldn't come up with their own story so had to go back to WW II for their material?
My attitude on companies who insist on weird capitalizations in their name is "fuck them". Same for E*Trade.
