I can drive, and prefer brakes that can lock the wheel on dry asphalt at highway speeds.
Yes, I like scaring tailgaters too.A quick sharp punch of the breaks should leave them in a cloud of smoke. This is also one situation where you wouldn't want the breaks to automatically cut the accelerator!
So yeah, the real problem is between the pedals and the seat.
This is undoubtedly true, but from what I have read people often don't do the obvious and try to stop the car. If someone is cruising at 70 and the car starts accelerating some people will try to break to keep the car going at 70. Whereas if they immediately braked hard they could stop the car with no problem, if they try to maintain speed for a couple of minutes they won't have much breaking at all. They probably only realise their mistake when the car starts to speed up again.
I think you are missing the point, throwing away 90% of the image was a demonstration of the capabilities of this algorithm. You would use it where you have only managed to capture a small amount of data, not capture the lot and throw away 90%.
I am a bit worried about the "fill in the shapes"

The algorithm then begins to modify the picture in stages by laying colored shapes over the randomly selected image. The goal is to seek what’s called sparsity, a measure of image simplicity.
The thing is in a medical image couldn't that actually remove a small growth or lesion? I know the article says:
That image isn’t absolutely guaranteed to be the sparsest one or the exact image you were trying to reconstruct, but Candès and Tao have shown mathematically that the chance of its being wrong is infinitesimally small.
but how often do analysis like this make assumptions about the data, like you are unlikely to get a small disruption in a regular shape and if you do it is not significant.
on the bright side, when Moore's law allows real-time processing we can look forward to night vision cameras which really are "as good as daylight", and for this sort of application the odd distortion really won't matter so much.
The FCC may have something to say about that though. If he is close enough, his mesh may block enough of the signal to put the antenna out of use.
Any passive blocking that he puts on the walls or windows as an owner is something that he can't he held liable for(as opposed to active blocking or putting up a billboard or similar). I'd love to see the judge's face when the cell phone company tries to explain how their antenna requires his apartment to be non-shielded to operate properly(ie - we need to beam the signal *through* it because we put it in a bad location).
Good point. Also if it does become useless and they relocate it you probably increased the resale value.
But in today's world, being without tv, radio, wireless, and so on in such a place in NYC would be horrendous.
No, because they think someone should be paid for everything, and if you are using open source software, you aren't paying for it.
That explains why we hear about so many of them getting caught with prostitutes. It is an ideological position, if thy only had sex with their wives it would be tantamount to piracy and could undermine the sex industry.
Bad article summary. It doesn't make you a "pirate" but it does make you a Special 301 Suspect who may have tendencies towards piracy (oh no). It's kinda similar to police profiling black drivers as potential criminals, except minus the racial overtones.
I wonder why Russia is not on this list? They encourage open source software as the preferred option for schools. Maybe we don't want to annoy our new ally.
I'd like to see some evidence of that. Because I run open source means that I don't have to pirate software. I know someone who brought a computer with Windows installed who then borrowed idsk and installed Microsoft Office, Photoshop, and all sorts. My system came with Open Office, Gimp, etc. and I cal easilly install thousands of open-source products via package manager legally for free.
Most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. If an ethnic community should decide that woman not wearing a burka is obscene then all photos etc. on the internet not showing a burka should be considered pornographic. I've lost an enormous amount of respect for our judicial system with this decision.
Well it should not be hard to find someone who would go beyond that:

All you will be allowed access to is the Government website, that tells you that everything is just fine.
No, your running is just confined to a treadmill connected to a generator.
pedometers?
Pedometers! Think of the children! Don't let these meters anywhere near our kids
And don't sciken me with your "Bluetooth Special Interest Group", I don't want to know about your special interests.

According to a test done by Car & Driver, brakes can easily stop cars even against full throttle

Eh, let him try to find investors. Anyone who is dumb enough to invest in his company needs to be separated from their money anyway.
You are assuming that they are investing to make money. Microsoft might well invest to prolong the FUD against Linux.
Now they're going to try to cut my pay.
damn that pico-payment technology
Doesn't matter anyway. Everything revolves around me. I am the center of the universe, and I can prove it.

Well, I guess that rules out its usefulness for Creation Scientists.
They have the opposite problem. They want to take a lot of real data and process it in such a way that the result bears no resemblance to reality.

maybe not if you have cable.
My mom is The Doctor's mother.
Well my mom is the doctor's mother's mother and father. Its a long story involving time change and gender reassignment.
Um ... a "friend" of mine wants to know. Can it be passed to humans. Just out of curiosity ... yes of course it is. Oh and what are the early symptoms/

I must have missed this perverse threesome when I watched the film.
I really wish Opera would just go away already. I'm quite happy with IE8/Safari4/Firefox3 lineage no more players needed thank you.
Have you tried Chrome yet?
If I had mod points I'd mod this insightful. I think you've hit the nail on the head, this is a cheap "toe in the water".
In the real world, the only limit on any government's reach is how many guns it has, and how many guns everybody else has.
I think that it might also be limited by the light cone too.
