I thought snow was like gravel, in that you will stop faster by locking up the wheels and piling up some snow in front of them, rather than trying to stop the wheels from locking up?
At low speeds, sure.
At higher speeds (30mph or more) you're looking at spinning the car and complete loss of control.
In Formula 1 there's been a lot of recent changes to reduce the cost of competing, otherwise the team with the most money would always win. eg. Rich teams used to use up an engine in three laps of qualifying just to try and get pole position. Now they're limited to a few engines per season.
The most obvious explanation for that is that most Androids are cheap devices
Android owners are all ghetto-dwellers or truck-driving-hillbillies. They don't mind the physical violence that goes along with shopping at sale time (in fact they quite enjoy it)
Apple owners are smarter and more sophisticated. They shop from home to avoid the Android owners from stepping on their new shoes.

That is incorrect. There was never a reason to ban an aid that allows a vehicle to go faster, it is racing after all
Nope. A lot of it is to slow the cars down because they were dangerously fast.
(Especially in Rally driving where whole groups of cars were eliminated in the 1990s purely for safety reasons).

In a high-end sports car you should definitely be able to turn it off at least.
However did people manage to drive cars before it was invented?
It seems impossible, almost like the superhuman ability needed to drive a stick-shift (I used to know a fighter pilot who couldn't drive stick...)
I think 5% is massively optimistic.
Android phones (which make up 80% of the smartphone market) are capable of spoofing iOS user agents.
They might be capable, but do they? I don't ever remember ever picking a user agent for my android phone (whatever a "user agent" is...)

Let's make sure it can be repeated before celebrating.
(looks around...)
Yes.
Sounds like to me that most Android users are simply too smart to shop on a tiny phone screen when they can shop on a large computer monitor.
Maybe they used large screen devices called "tablets".
Android dominates the 'phone' market but I bet Apple still dominates 'tablets' (though maybe not for much longer).
....assuming they're dead. They might just be going tsk tsk.
I can already think in three different languages. One more wouldn't matter.
Yeah, that's the word. English isn't my everyday language, sorry.
Tape can do that, too.
Tape can be made to act like a great big disk, except some parts of it aren't available until the robot puts the correct tape in the drive.
Probably keep it out of the sterile field
It's on his face.
I imagine they'd be easier to sterilize than a huge-ass monitor.
Huge-ass monitor can be behind a glass screen. Blast it with some antiseptic, job done.
How is this better than a huge-ass monitor?
And how do you sterilize them?
I think the website's logos are blue because the marketing department saw that everybody was choosing "blue" for their password...
No, RED! Aaaaaaaaargh!
Serious question: What value is there in having a low limit on password lengths?
It fits in a database field declared as VARCHAR(8)
Epic fail! Not the correct colors even with a video link...
Tapes use data compression, too.
(In fact most of the "capacity" and "speed" numbers in the sales brochure are for compressed data).
I just cringe the idea of storing long term archived data using an electric charge (flash, HDD, tape).
I think you'll find that two of those use a magnetic charge.
tape has its issues, but sucking up money like a trophy wife isn't one of them
It's OK for jobs like this where it doesn't really matter if you lose a few bits of data every now and again.
What about delivering new 'copters to people?
They've been selling quite a few quadcopters lately and this seems an ideal way to get them to people.
It was snowing last time I was up there, that made it even quieter.
I could finally hear myself think.
You know your grandparents are turning in their graves every time you open your ignorant mouth to correct other people's vocabulary, right?
