While I agree that the 80% figure is a little out there (maybe they mean 80% of low-visibility crashes?), I disagree that they're adding information to the pilot's input. It sounds more to me like they're preventing the pilot from losing information he already had when it gets foggy - virtually everything in the article sounds like it's intended to be meshed into a full HUD that would basically let the pilot see a virtual groundscape.
The devil, of course, will be in making it as easy and natural as regular vision, so the pilot is not distracted by the artificially enhanced nature of it.
Insurance companies are private. Imposing a tax on gasoline would require the government to get involved and fsck everything up. The key to saving money is keep the government out of it completely at all costs.
Exactly. Somebody convince those poor bastards in Venezuela, where there's only the government gasoline company. They're getting shafted totally - gas is almost 15 cents a gallon! Damn those inefficient government monopolies!
Unfortunately, in talking to one of the main programmers (Hi Rick!) there's almost no likelihood of a Linux client. There are some folks who have got it mostly running under Wine, though.
Did you not notice the "Confidence ratings" in there?
SirBruce is a stand-up guy, and big on accuracy. He only puts an A there when he knows the numbers are for real. I met him playing WW2Online, and I know that his A there comes from the fact he's a good friend of many in the company (and I believe a not-insignificant investor).
The publisher just going "We've got 400,000! Yay us!" would merit a C, maybe a B if the past history of insider information and announced subscriptions meshed.
And yet, cyanide is found in cyanoacrilic adhesives, which were developed (IIRC) for the military in Vietnam to instantly bond flesh back together on nasty chest wounds, to stop bleeding.
They get away with it because it's basically correct.
If a 25mpg car is driven 10,000 miles a year instead of 12,000, it's annual emissions are 1800 pounds less. That means it's still pumping out 9000 pounds of CO2 a year. 9 000 pounds = 4.08233133 tonnes (metric) according to Google.
That gasoline mass has to go SOMEPLACE after it combusts. CO2 and H2O, primarily.
Then the more actively developed browser (Firefox) will still be better than IE, which has been left to languish except for the most critical bugfixes.
The sensible (and arguably the best) method of putting tracks on it is iTunes
In this age of ubiquitous USB storage, I would disagree. The sensible, simplest method is "Copy, paste to Ipod". Have it automount just like USB storage.
Gentilly-2 was built in 1983, which is probably inspired by the oil scare. It's in the village of Gentilly in Quebec.
Pt Lepreau (New Brunswick) went live in 1983. Probably the same deal.
No plants have been built in Canada since the mid-80s that I can find, although CANDU reactors have been built in lots of places around the world since then, but that's not really germane to the discussion.

As you now know, posts like this work too. ;)

They mean instantly, btw. Some "Zap-A-Gap" almost bound my fingertips together with brief passing touch.
That oxygen is incorporated from the atmosphere.
Congrats!
You just know the editors are going to be mystified by why this topic has such an insanely high reload count.

I'm sorry, but you're incorrect.
The COMPANY buys licenses when the programs are not open source. Their employees, as MEMBERS OF THE COMPANY, use the programs.
The employee is not given the program personally. He cannot take it and leagally install it on his home PC instead.
The "individual" in the sense of internal corporate rollout is the corporation. Not the employee, not the programmer.
It's not developed by an individual and distributed to another individual.
It's developed by a company for it's own internal use. That's not distribution.
Interesting, I didn't realize Mozilla let you move that up there. I'm giving it a try now. :)
What if a method was created to allow a small portion (pointer and serial) to be excluded from MD5sums? Would you then object to that?
You may want to look at the article. It uses the (generally unused) space to the right of the File / Edit / etc / Help entries.
Glue? GLUE?

What kind of n00b uses glue?
Duct tape, baby!
No, he hasn't. That's the point.
The hydrogen fuel cell is just as much a "bomb" as the gas tank in the car - IE: not much of one.
Ugh. Add an h in there.
I think the AC may be referring to his third (and maybe final) attempt to graduate from High Scool. ;)

But they're just not worth the loss in FPS!

I use "declined@declined.com". Clear in intent, and not likely to be bounced as an obvious fake.
