That driver error story goes entirely off of fatality numbers, which could be skewed by the older folks having slower reflexes, being panicky, and possibly having other health problems as a result of the incident, such as having a heart attack. Younger folk tend to have faster reflexes and were taught in drivers ed what they should do in such a case. Older folk may not have.
The story also seems to be "driver error vs mechanical". They completely ignore the very complex electrical systems in newer cars. Many cars are drive-by-wire systems, where none of the controls are mechanically connected to the parts they affect. If there is a problem in the drive-by-wire control computers, hopefully NASA's engineers would find it. Aeronautics companies might be a better choice for a code review, though, since they have been using fly-by-wire for quite a bit longer than car companies. NASA is probably a good choice for checking out shielding and power surge concerns, however, since their stuff has to work without the benefit of the Earth's additional shielding.
I went to a large well-known brick and mortar store to pick up a 2TB hard drive I needed right away. On the shelf, there were three WD 2TB green drives. Two were shrink-wrapped, while the third was not. I picked up one of the shrink-wrapped drives, bought it, and left. I had some other errands to run around town, so I didn't get to it right away.
I finally get home and open the box, and pull out the contents. There is an unsealed (never sealed on the end, not sealed and torn) anti-static bag with a drive in it. inside the bag is also a yellow warranty paper, which is conveniently covering up the model numbers. I take them out of the bag and discover an old 30GB PATA drive with lots of dust and scratches.
Pissed off, I check the store's closing time and find I have just over 30 minutes, which is about how long it takes to get there. I put everything back in the box and bust ass getting back up there. The girl at the returns counter was a little baffled at my claim, and called for a manager. They deliberate for a minute or two in a back room, and I am told to get another drive off the shelf. I go grab the other shrink-wrapped box. The girl at the returns counter opened it, and the contents of THAT box were the same as the one I had taken home. She then tells me to get another, and I do. The last box, without shrinkwrap, contained the proper drive.
I have no idea how those old, used PATA drives ended up in "new" 2TB SATA drive boxes. A month or two later, I happened to notice that all of WD's boxes of that design HAVE NO SHRINKWRAP. Just a seal on the flaps at the top and bottom of the drive. If you're getting a WD retail drive at a B&M, and the box is of the 2.5 by 5 by 7.5 inch size, be suspicious if it is in shrink wrap.
So let me get this right... TiVo is suing AT&T (and has sued Dish and Echostar previously) claiming that they infringe on the "time-warping" feature of DVRs? The "pause live tv" feature? How exactly is this novel and unique once you get the video into the computer that runs the DVR?
While I don't agree with the leap, I think I can kinda see where they got the idea. She prefers chicks and doesn't want anyone to know. Because she doesn't want anyone to know, she obviously has done something wrong, etc.
It is all a load of hogwash. That's the same logic that comes to the conclusion that if you use an envelope to mail something, you must be doing something wrong.
You keep saying that, but then talking about Dora the Explorer, which is on Noggin and Nick Jr, neither of which are broadcast channels. Well, there is also Univision for Dora in Spanish, but that's also a cable network.
Your theory falls apart when you consider people like Dr. Richard Stokes, a Dermatologist that performed unnecessary procedures, re-used sutures, and other such unethical/dangerous things.
The infohash is the SHA1 hash of the "info" section of the.torrent file, in BEncoded form (the form it is stored as in the.torrent file). Private trackers add a parameter to the announce url to uniquely identify users. The announce urls are held outside the info section of the.torrent file, so changing them will not change the infohash. There are some private trackers that have tracked users by IP address rather than announce url, but they tend to not work as well.
The more logical way to go about it would be using the "info hash" value, which you can compute with nothing more than the.torrent file. It is the hash value the client reports to the tracker, and the hash value that clients tell each other during the connection handshake in order to agree that they are talking about the same torrent.
Now, there is the problem of hash collisions, as the bittorrent protocol takes an arbitrary length of mostly arbitrary data and hashes it down to 20 bytes. What happens when you have a linux iso download that happens to have the same info hash as Star Wars XXIII or a kiddie porn pack?
Whatever your feelings on jerks using cellphones at inappropriate times, cellphone jamming is illegal, as you are transmitting intentional interference on licensed frequencies you do not have a license to use. The same is essentially true for all licensed portions of the spectrum. And since the cell jammers have no purpose other than transmitting jamming signals on licensed frequencies, the devices are also essentially illegal.
All this discussion about vehicular speed limits is actually making a poor comparison to the situation.
A more accurate car analogy would be this:
You're leasing a car from some company. That car has a top speed of 70 MPH. The lease agreement you signed was pitched as not having any mileage limits. The lease agreement also does not mention anything about how many miles you are allowed to drive the car in a month. Unknown to you, the car reports via some wireless technology how many miles it has been driven. Then, out of the blue, someone from the leasing company calls you up and tells you that the amount of driving you are doing constitutes "excessive use." You ask them what an acceptable amount of driving would be, but they won't tell you. So you try and drive less and the following month they call again, claiming you're still driving too much and that they must terminate the lease.
Comcast is not complaining about the speed at which people are downloading, but the quantity, and will not disclose what an acceptable quantity is.
I agree. The mods are messed up today... this was marked Troll. another post with an excerpt of the Declaration of Independence was modded funny. All I can say is "WTF?"
It probably does, when there would be a question of where and when those ideas were thought up and developed. They already stole from Activision by using their employees and contractors to develop the demo at Activision's expense. What gives them the right to use those projects that were developed on Activision's dime, and how do you know what else they might have had the employees do? The only sure way to keep them from using the product of their theift is to bar them from being able to use any of it for a certain amount of time, while the rest of the industry is allowed to move forward.
It is far easier for Youtube to control what's on their site but how can they tell if something is copyrighted? [...] To expect youtube to have some magical AI script that detects copyrighted files is lunacy.
Technically, everything is copyrighted when it is created, as per the Berne Convention (with the default license of "All rights reserved"). The question you're looking for is "how can youtube tell if something is uploaded with permission of the copyright owner?" The upload form essentially asks the uploader if they have the right to upload the file. Most people uploading content from Viacom or other companies don't have that right, but check that box anyway. The DMCA protects youtube in this case, provided that they take the video down upon notification from the copyright owner.
Um... Except that you can plug multiple drives into a single SATA2 controller port, using a hub or fan-out connector. SATA2's theoretical max rate is much higher than FireWire800, which allows you to plug in more drives before hitting the cap.
Drives cannot provide locking mechanisms, other than tabs that a cable can lock into. Otherwise you can't use the drive with any of the multitude of SATA or SAS hot-swap backplanes (usually purchased in an enclosure). If the drive had locking tabs on the connector, once you plugged the drive into the backplane, you'd never get it out again, without breaking something.
apparently, based on an ad I had seen recently, NBC has put all of the episodes of "Andy Barker" or "Raines" on NBC.com for viewing AFTER THE FIRST EPISODE HAS AIRED.
I was using multiple instances of a single copy of Firefox 2, with separate profiles. I forget the details now, and have since removed the command-line parameters I used to be able to do this. I found it by doing a search, probably for "firefox multiple instances" or such.

Bell Labs? Perhaps you mean Lucent Technologies (or, these days, Alcatel-Lucent).
Unfortunately, WinXP 64 is still limited to ~3.75GB of RAM. It is a limitation of the WinXP SKU, not the 64bit/32bit part.

One of my friends had an HP desktop system. Inside the case was an ASUS board.
Snow White? I think you have the wrong product. Disney lobbies for copyright extensions to keep Mickey Mouse within their control.
You keep saying that, but then talking about Dora the Explorer, which is on Noggin and Nick Jr, neither of which are broadcast channels. Well, there is also Univision for Dora in Spanish, but that's also a cable network.
Let me rephrase that, as you apparently misunderstood.
If B is receiving from A, then A is sending to B.
A (sending) -> B (receiving)

Here is one example of a SATA2 (eSATA) hub.
