I believe Harley-Davidson has already introduced a system for informing other drivers about nearby motorcycles. They just leave off the mufflers. And I can see you just fine, now put on some leathers instead of that damn t-shirt.
I've been riding motorcycles for 26 years (more miles riding than driving cars) and my body of experience tells me this: it doesn't matter how many fancy gadgets they come up with, the average automobile driver just plain isn't looking for and doesn't see motorcyclists.
At least some people who don't drink also do the exact same things. This is just like the cell phone laws. If people are driving erratically, charge them for that. If people are killing other people, do the same. We don't need to keep inventing new laws to take care of old problems.
As Dave Allen used to say, since one third of accidents were caused by drunk drivers this led to the conclusion that two thirds of accidents were caused by the sober who should get off the road and leave the drunks in peace
At least some of the people who drink subsequently (or simultaneously) get in their cars and kill other people. Some of the people who drink subsequently beat their spouses or children. Some of them get involved in rowdy street riots after their favorite insert-sport-here team wins or loses a big game, breaking into shops, turning over cars, and starting fires
I don't know about that. My 30 year old Toyota gets pretty good mileage, all without any of these 'computers' you seem so fond of. Besides, I'll still be riding in style after the EMP hits. My 53 year old Dodge doesn't, but I needed something that could haul our fat tank of juice after the lord humongous leaves the compound. I shall take your broken AM radio and raise you a 'no factory radio'.
to buy a car that's been built at some point in the last 30 years, then. Browse the classifieds in your local paper. It's almost certain that you'll find something which has a computer already, which does what you're looking to have it do, for under $1000. Maybe even under $500. The savings in gas, alone, will make it worth your while. Bigger up front cost, but much better long-term savings
Lets see, 350 equipped Yugo? Someone get Jay Lenno on the phone, I've got another car for his collection. He can park it right next to his Ford Festiva (SHO powered).
And yes, yugo = a tubbed shell at that point.
1) A 350 is a small block.
2) Built correctly, such a combination would scream, but very little of it would be from the former Yugoslsavia.
It's the middle ages. Chances are you're a peasant. (Some 80% of the population was, after all, so sheer probabilities point that way.) work dawn to dusk just to feed your family, but you're still badly malnourished since last year's war saw most of your crop looted. Half the village just died of plague, and the survivors are screaming in agony all night
Why would a Wookiee, an eight-foot tall Wookiee, want to live on Endor, with a bunch of two-foot tall Ewoks? That does not make sense! But more important, you have to ask yourself: What does this have to do with this case? Nothing. Ladies and gentlemen, it has nothing to do with this case! It does not make sense! Look at me. I'm a lawyer defending a major record company, and I'm talkin' about Chewbacca! Does that make sense? Ladies and gentlemen, I am not making any sense! None of this makes sense! And so you have to remember, when you're in that jury room deliberatin' and conjugatin' the Emancipation Proclamation, [approaches and softens] does it make sense? No! Ladies and gentlemen of this supposed jury, it does not make sense! If Chewbacca lives on Endor, you must acquit! The defense rests.
And to think my power guild took off from EQ almost 5 years ago now.

Those companies had very little choice in the matter. When the Japanese government, with a significant trade surplus ($63b USD as of 1996) refused to remove their own import tariffs the USA imposed quotas on the Japanese imports in 86?. Units produced in the USA were exempted, hence the relative 'happiness, and willingness to build cars here', albeit with imported parts exempted from the tariffs.
]
This is hardly without precedent since Japan had been imposing huge tariffs on imported vehicles since 1953 or so.
Honda, Toyota, and Subaru seem happy to build cars in the US. Of course now that we have this killer NAFTA thing, Mexico is the go to destination for foreign importers.
And why is cpu power efficiency the goal? Powerful local machines are dirt cheap, bandwidth is unreliable, limited and expensive. The Sun JavaStation called me from the year 2000 and it wants to tell you this idea failed.
You're missing the point. Local machines are relatively inefficient; so you could have a local machine that's effectively a thin client with all its processing offloaded into the cloud.
I am not a DBA, but one of the more useful differences is that you can perform block inserts against each of the RAC nodes independently. That means that you can perform your big table loading scripts in parallel instead of running them against one machine and mirroring it.
Oh, and if you want to enforce query timeouts, that is supported in the user profile via CPU_PER_CALL (non-conforming queries are terminated and resources released)
I must admit I don't know that much about RAC -- but it doesn't really seem to me THAT different from clustering a SQL Server
Consoles in the 1970's had paddles. That's not really the same thing.
The earliest mainstream console with an analog stick I'm aware of was on the (82?) GCE Vectrex, though from your link the infamously terrible 5200 stick predates it by a few months.
Anyway, this patent is about analog sticks with built in rumble packs. Previous controllers (N64,DC) used plug in modules instead. Building one into the controller itself, wow, go go patent trolls.
Analog sticks?? The first generation of consoles (as in 1970) used them almost exclusively, see: This link.

I'm a TrueCrypt user, but not a DFS user, since I care more about the encryption than I do about plausible deniability, but I'm interested in trying this out. The test case might be along the lines of:
If you were able to talk to hispanics in their native language, you would learn quickly enough that they are typically far less ignorant (and less fat) than the average American.

I don't know about that, back in college I used a mac 512e with dual floppies for all of my papers. For general use it was hardly a beast but WYSIWG and a GUI was rather revolutionary at the time...and onto an Epson dot-matrix mind you, not an Apple printer.
The Lisa (a good machine, but too expensive because the parts cost was too high back then) was a commercial flop. The original Mac (not enough memory, no hard drive) was too weak to be useful, and the Mac was a commercial flop until it was built up to Lisa specs of 1MB or so and a hard drive. (Understand that there were UNIX workstations with graphics years before the Mac came out. Cost, not innovation, was the problem in the early days.)
OMG, I can run my car on caribou oil? By all means start the drillin' immediately!
In all seriousness, what does drilling for oil under the ground have to do with wildlife above it? Not that I necessarily agree with doing it, with gas at absurd highs it seems high time to start exploiting our reserves, which include massive amounts of oil shale.
Norway seems a roughly similar environment, did drilling for oil somehow extinctify all of their wildlife?
he Porcupine Caribou herd relies on the land in ANWAR as they migrate every year drilling in ANWAR will lead to the demise of the 120,000 caribou herd not to mention all the northern communities who rely on the herd for sources of food, clothing and materials
I'm fairly certain that passwords are not protected by lies. You can create additional dummy partitions, but each one of them takes up a certain (assuredly known) amount of space on the media.
You could certainly lie about anything not digitally recoverable, but then we'd have to hurt you, again. As long as we preserve the illusion of democracy that is enough. And who can stop us? A handful of malcontent software engineers?
Any information that you get from threatened person is worthless, because person would do anything (lies included) to avoid being killed or tortured.
Right, that's why we'll ship you to a 'friendly' foreign nation for interrogation and/or torture after we declare you as an enemy combatant. WE didn't torture you, our allies did. Accidentally. We now have plausible deniability, just like you.
Now what was that password again?
Waterboarding is illegal in democratic countries. US constitution has Fifth Amendment. User can be asked to show what is in encrypted volume and he can show it, if he or she wants to help police in investigation. If police claims that user has some hidden volume that file, they would be accusing user without having a proof.
If I recall correctly, the top-end camcorders use 3 CCD's with the lens to help with low light issues. Low light is something that film was way better at, even at decent (Hi-8) resolution levels. The issue is not necessarily more pixels but larger ones to capture the ambient light without F/stopping it to hell.
The 'blad will continue to be absurdly expensive but its that huge sensor size that demands the expensive lenses. The only improvement you get going to a larger sensor size on digital is that your low light performance improves. That is not an issue in the studio which is where 95% of 'blads live. Out in the field you might as well lug full frame format gear round with you. Most pros use 35mm outdoors.
Various studies on US Divorce rate show significant differences when a comparison is made in 1st, 2nd and 3rd marriage, divorce rate in America.
* Divorce rate in America after first marriage is from 41% to 50%.
* US divorce rate after second marriage is from 60% to 67%
* After 3 marriages the US divorce rate is from 73% to 74%
According to a study published in the American Law and Economics Review, women currently file slightly more than two-thirds of divorce cases in the US.[12] There is some variation among states, and the numbers have also varied over time, with about 60% of filings by women in most of the 19th century, and over 70% by women in some states just after no-fault divorce was introduced, according to the paper.
Evidence is given that among college-educated couples, the percentages of divorces initiated by women is approximately 90%.
In their study titled "Child Custody Policies and Divorce Rates in the US," Kuhn and Guidubaldi find it reasonable to conclude that women anticipate advantages to being single, rather than remaining married.
It is something not surprising since there are an above normal amount of people here who have trouble dealing with women. It leads some of those people to dislike and distrust women.
You have to go back to another time. When the world was powered by the black fuel. And the desert sprouted great cities of pipe and steel. Gone now, swept away. For reasons long forgotten, two mighty warrior tribes went to war and touched off a blaze which engulfed them all. Without fuel they were nothing. They built a house of straw. The thundering machines sputtered and stopped. Their leaders talked and talked and talked. But nothing could stem the avalanche. Their world crumbled. The cities exploded. A whirlwind of looting, a firestorm of fear. Men began to feed on men. On the roads it was a white line nightmare. Only those mobile enough to scavenge, brutal enough to pillage would survive. The gangs took over the highways, ready to wage war for a tank of juice.
Your species has great curiosity.
We knew that.
You are interesting in many ways.
But you are afraid.
You present no danger while you wear the collar,
and you wear it as long as you live.
If a mob of 1,000,000 people march on the white house with pitchforks and tourches demanding justice, there will be justice.

That said, I buy phones to call people with, if I want to take pictures I have this thing called a camera. It does a way better job.
One problem with newer titles is online play. It's only fun until the servers go poof.
