Their consumer products may be crap, but their commercial printers are pretty impressive. There are two of these in the building I'm working in right now.
I agree with getting a DSLR. I bought a canon powershot S5 IS a few years ago, but now I wish I had gotten a DSLR. It's a nice enough camera for my needs, but I don't want to buy any lenses for it that I won't be able to use if I get a DSLR in the future.
One cool thing about Canon cameras is CHDK I'm not sure if there's anything similar for other brands. I was disappointed that the S5-IS didn't have a bulb exposure setting, but you can enable it with CHDK. And it doesn't modify the firmware on the camera, it's just stored on the SD card. When you put in an unmodified SD card, the camera is back to normal.
I wonder what the percentage really is. I don't think I know anyone that would find a middle finger picture offensive enough to complain to Google about it.
What if the criminal is using his credit card to rent cars from companies that keep records on who had each car and when? Do ISPs keep logs of who had a certain IP on a specific day? Maybe they delete the logs once a month.. I have no idea, but in both cases, wouldn't that be enough to prompt an investigation?
IANABK but aren't the cells containing honey capped with wax? Maybe excess honey drains to the bottom, but from what I've seen on tv, the bees do a pretty good job of containing the honey
but I was hoping this upgrade would include "not walking like it's trying to suppress an explosive diarrhea incident".
That would be my first priority.
That's a really cool idea..
I just saw this video the other day where they use a device to deliver precisely timed drops of water which could be used for that. http://youtu.be/cNI-LIVs-to
The lasers could be positioned so any drop could be illuminated at any time without being obscured by other drops. You might have to have a laser scanner between every other row, or use mirrors to direct the laser to the row to be illuminated. I don't know if mirrors are fast enough
Where I live there are highways that go for a hundred miles or more in a fairly straight line. Driving at night there aren't many other cars on the road. I can rest my foot on the accelerator without depressing it, or I can bend my knee and put my foot flat on the floor. That said, I still don't find many opportunities to use it. I'm sure people that live in the midwest US use it frequently. There are very long stretches of highway out there with very light traffic. It sounds like you don't live in an area where it would ever make sense to use it.
I'm going to have to double check, but I'm pretty sure my car doesn't let you turn the key to the steering lock position unless the auto transmission is in park.. maybe neutral too. (99 acura tl)
If you find yourself managing the speed of the car with with the cruise control, you're not in a situation where you should be using it. Driving on winding back roads at 25 mph definitely doesn't qualify as "cruising". It's for long stretches of highway when there's few or no other vehicles on the road.

the c64 and the zx81 actually launched at about the same time
It's called thermal pollution.. And you're right.. it certainly can cause problems.

it's the Ship of Theseus paradox
I'm pretty handy with a sword myself

Even if the person that found the printout was that stupid, I'm hoping think the government translators would have picked up on it.

Star Walk is pretty cool.
I was just able to get FIVE tennis balls into a container that usually holds three after applying this algorithm.

fucking Van der Waals force. How does it work?
Where did I say it's better?
they could have sent out the wrong version by mistake

With modern vehicles, letting the engine rotate while powered off may damage the catalytic converter when it is reached by non-burned/liquid fuel.
If the ignition switch is off, the fuel injectors won't be injecting.. Still, it's probably not a great idea

1. Since when is a major accident preferable to a blown engine?
2. When did they stop putting rev limiters in cars?
