As sibling posts said, pico is under 1kg. You'll be disappointed to hear that I'm part of a team working on a femtosatellite. That is, a satellite under 100grams. Buzzword that!
Cubesats are generally chucked in LEO, and as TFS says, generally don't have propulsion. For this reason, they fall out of the sky very quickly. A few years tops. Once you introduce propulsion, you can keep them up longer, but then you can also have the ability to de-orbit at EOL.
I almost crashed until I realized what was happening and put the car into neutral. (unfortunately, I overshot and put the car into park momentarily, which resulted in a slow leak of my transmission fluid that cost about $600 to fix).
Quick protip, since this is a pet peeve of mine: Automatic transmissions will shift from drive into neutral without the button pressed. This is to prevent exactly what happened to you. Also, you can shift from reverse into drive without pressing the button. Or even looking at the transmission readout, just slap it up or down, and you'll get where you need to go.
mencoder has the single most terrifying man file I've ever had the pleasure of attempting to use. 8552 lines. Online tutorials are the only sane way to get started.
Grandma and grandpa likely won't be wanting the fakeraid ggp was referring to. For normal apps, you can just click through your package manager. Ubuntu makes it surprisingly brainless.
Less weight = less inertia = greater accelerations upon the hard disk.
Depends what its running into. I'd figure the most common impact would be with things like tables and floors. And I can't imagine your floor or table will deflect significantly unless the heavier computer is the mass of a fridge.
We know it to 10^12 digits. That's a pretty bloody small margin of error
Not to mention the radios of wheels are a perfect constant because tire-tread never wears out, and nobody ever uses non-standard wheel-sizes.
Correct, wheel diameter changes
Also, wheels never skid even for a moment,
Generally they don't on the highway, or during any sort of steady-state operation on pavement.
when turning there isn't a moment where two wheels are actually going the opposite direction....
I don't know of any car that can turn this sharply. Either way, it would all work out if we could invent some sort of device that would let the wheels move at different speeds (even in different directions) such that they average out to the speed that the drive shaft is trying to drive the car at. I'd call it a differential. But that's just madness.
Either way, my point is the measurement error is mostly just due to the speedo, and generally they are correct to better than 5%. They just aim high cause the government tells them to. The allowed tolerances are something like -0.5% to 7%, i forget exactly what, you'd have to look it up. So they aim in the middle of that range and you always get a few percent over.
Does the circular pad actually do anything? I can't tell from that page. It looks to me like the buttons are arranged in a circle, but that the circle they're contained in doesn't do anything (e.g. scroll through lists or act like a jog wheel).
I owned one of these. No the circle does nothing special. It's just four buttons.
It was a good player, especially considering it was the second mp3 player to market. The only serious fault (that i found) was the battery door was mechanically secured to the main board alone by a solder joint. This joint would eventually break, and it wouldn't get power. Likely an easy fix, but i had a warranty, so they just replaced 'em. I later got a Nomad II as a replacement, which also had a circular button panel on the front.

Both 'embiggen' and 'cromulent' were coined in the simpsons episode Lisa the Iconoclast
I agree this is about AI and not derbies, but I don't see how these rule changes make the game a better AI challenge.
The damage resetting rule is the only one I see as obviously beneficial when competing algorithms.
he says everybody not everyone.
Fail.
And I thought Edward Winter was dead!

Kinda like the ion thruster on Deep Space 1

Yeah. i personally like the PPTs that zap teflon. I like the idea that i can fry my eggs and keep my satellite in orbit using the same material.

Now try it when you're moving at 100kph.
Put the accelerator to the floor, and try to stop.
You might not be so lucky.

By googling his name, the project appears to be. Enano CMS
Indeed, I'm friends with a stuffed animal, inanimate carbon rod, a car, and jesus, and I run a profile for a robot.
They are nowhere near on the ball.
Sadly my hypercube got its profile deleted.

Another example: Rockbox.
It now runs on several mp3 players, and adds additional codecs, crossfeeding, better EQs, better battery life in some players, etc, etc.
Yep, and we have *such* and exact value for Pi.

gps? traction control? automatic braking? daytime running lights?
Chances are that person isn't really that ignorant, raceist [sic] or bigoted. They just say things like that to get you riled up.
I've looked into this, and tried many of those. I didn't find anything that does a satisfactory job.
.doc output that reliably looks as good as the .pdf i could have sent instead.
That is, I've yet to find one that will produce
At least they're not using the verb "squirt" to describe sharing content.
Here, try this book *skeet* *skeet*
