Wrong. Most modern cars will shut the injectors off completely when you take your foot off the accelerator and the engine is operating above idle RPM. When the engine is idling with the clutch in, it has to be supplied with a small amount of gas to keep it turning over and prevent it stalling.
As a New Zealander, I can assure you that, despite what has been represented in the media, it is not illegal to smack your child here. What happened was that the defence of 'reasonable force' was removed from the crime of child abuse. What that means is that you can smack you child, but you can not beat the crap out of your child and then claim you were just disciplining them.
hitting the brakes a little too hard can cascade into a backup miles behind. The mathematicians' future research will investigate how automatic braking systems may alleviate the problem.
Little kid runs out in front of my car. I slam on the brakes. Car decides that hitting the brakes that hard might cause backup miles behind and limits the braking force. Kid gets splattered all over the front of my car and I have to scrape the brain matter off my windscreen.
What is the point of a computer being able to know if a user is frustrated? So it can be less annoying? More helpful? Why doesn't it behave like that all the time regardless of how frustrated the user is?
Perhaps the U.S. Navy put a fake propeller on the sub.
U.S. Navy: "Hey you guys do the aerial photos for Google and Mircosoft, right?" Acme Aerial Photos: "Yip." U.S. Navy: "When are you guys next flying over our base?" Acme Aerial Photos: "Next Tuesday. Weather permitting." U.S. Navy: "Thank you. You have been very helpful. <evil laugh>"

You can buy proper hot water cylinder 'wraps' that act like a blanket and prevent heat lose, but they are quite expensive. Instead, go to your local op-shop and buy some cheap blankets or towels. Get some duct tape and go to it. You would be amazed the difference it makes.
Exactly. Sony itself didn't actually create their 'root kit', but they put it on their CDs so they are responsible for it. In the same vein, I've always thought that people are a wasting their time trying to persecute spammers. They should go after the companys that hire the spammers in the first place.
Take your file(s), zip them with a password and email them to yourself. That way:
1. You don't have to remember to grab your USB key or worry about breaking it.
2. You can access your important information anywhere that has an internet connection (I assume that the email account is a web based one).
3. If your email account has a descent password and your zip file has a descent but different password, your data should be pretty safe from bad guys.

Please stop refering to these people as climate 'skeptics'. They are climate 'deniers' - just like holocaust deniers and round earth deniers.
Nobody dies in our natural disasters!

I hate scrapping brain matter of my windscreen.

Nobody said the result would definitely be used. The wiki is just being used to get suggestions and ideas...

Finally! Someone is doing some useful research.
You can buy proper hot water cylinder 'wraps' that act like a blanket and prevent heat lose, but they are quite expensive. Instead, go to your local op-shop and buy some cheap blankets or towels. Get some duct tape and go to it. You would be amazed the difference it makes.
Why not keep your current job and find some interesting open source development projects to work on in the background?

We can only hope.
