Many people used to work in factories in these conditions. It may not be pleasant but its doable.

Fahrenheit just makes more sense to most of us. 30s = cold, 40s = chilly, 50s = cool, 60s = decent/might need a windbreaker, 70s = nice, 80s = warm, 90s = hot, etc, etc. Celsius is no where near that intuitive and was as arbitrarily defined as Fahrenheit was.
Absolutelty. I thought it would be like a sauna, when in fact it is just a warm room. I have been in computer rooms at 40 C (after cooling failure) and everything still ran OK until the cooling was fixed.
He was dicking arround with his iPhone ane "somehow" managed to bring up the tethering preferences. The only thing useful is now people know it can be done. Full points to the first hacker who can give step by step instructions.
Ireland are considering changing, but they're going to do it in stages. One week the cars, next week the buses and then if that works OK the following month they'll do bikes & trucks.
This is a joke, right? I honestly can't tell. :/
Lets put it this way, Paddy has volunteered to pilot the project a year before everyone else is due to switch.
conditions where ABS helps you to stop faster are not uncommon. If the wheels on one side have less grip than another (going through a puddle, mud at the side of the road, tyre incorrectly inflated) tests have shown that ABS copes better than an expert driver. Also rapid changes in adhesion of the road (patchy ice or oil) will be handled automatically, and only the very best drivers can match this. Good drivers will reduce breaking when hitting the slippery patch but most will delay re-applying hard breaking for quite a while after the hazard has past.
A good many drivers will not have hard of cadence breaking, and therefore would not be able to cope with situations where you need to steer under emergency breaking without ABS.
"Its speed is best over thye hundreds of metres," he said. "But beyond 1km you will find that ADSL2+ is actually faster."
Which means that it will do nothing for the people who complain about speed now, either being unable to get broadband or only get a slow link. Actually it will probably make things worse for them as the web designers in "connected" cities decide that they can have high-definition video on their web-site front pages. Many people have to wait five minutes to see the existing flash pages.
Maybe I'm being picky here, but why does Slashdot's icon for this story depict a caterpillar? Don't the editors know the difference between a caterpillar and a worm?
If you can sue via facebook I will sue Jesus for religious discrimination, Christopher Columbus for genocide of the native Americans and King Charles II for usurping the British Republic.
And wouldn't the exact percentage change slightly as sea level rises and falls?
I was thinking the same thing, but I don't know. Certainly when tides rise in some parts of the world they fall in others. Does the area change during seasonal floods in the Amazon, or is there a corresponding drop in ocean level?
If you asked a scientist who works on calibrating the leap seconds added to UTC to make up for irregularities in the rotation of the earth he might well answer "we don't know exactly".
If you take a scientific basis that times should be measured in basic defined units (SI second) then saying "it takes a year" is roughly equivalent of saying "it takes as long as it takes".
You very often find that what might seem to be a trivial question to someone with basic high-school science is actually difficult to give a clear-cut answer to.
"Only 15% of respondents answered this question with the exactly correct answer of 70%."
Only it is not the exact figure. Googling gives lots of results for "about 2/3", many "about 70%", a couple of "70 to 75%"s and a very authoritative sounding but un-cited 71% as a yahoo answer.

All the experiments worked with Firefox, so I think their is a fair chance that Explorer 8 works,

Its not intuitive, its just what you're used to

What they need to do is threaten to release a patch removing the DRM to avoid copyright infringement.

At least in Denmark, you can drive a little ways and get your Internet uncensored.
