If I'm driving a simulated vehicle, I doubt I'd act the same way in the simulation as I would in real life. For one thing, I have no skin in the game in the simulation.

I stopped watching Mythbusters last year when I found myself fast forwarding every episode to the end to see what happens. Too much fluff, and in some cases not enough rigor in their tests for my liking. I don't blame the hosts, though - they put a ton of effort into making the show and tried to make it entertaining.

5G wireless gives me almost 30 megabytes/second which is faster than a 100mbit ethernet connection. Only trouble is not a lot of devices support 5G.
I do have most of my house wired with ethernet, but most of my networked devices are portable. BTW, I recommend the D-Link DIR-868L wireless router - great performance, reliability, and range.

My top Internet Explorer annoyances:
* secure browsing. Trying to download a file with that enabled is frustrating.
* startup delay. IE shows the UI and lets you start typing in the location bar but shortly after loads startup pages over top of what you may have just typed.

Agreed, a very impressive trailer, maybe the best one yet. I've only got an hour or two per week to spend on games these days - I'd probably play if they had a usage-based subscription option instead of a fixed monthly rate.

I agree that Slashdot's commenting system is good but it could be better. For example, I spent half my mod points a week ago on very long copy/paste spam touting someone's antivirus software. And there were many more copies that others had already downmodded. A couple possible ways to combat this: a) If someone posts something that's mostly a repeat of something else they've already posted, it should get automatically downmodded. b) if they are getting lots of downmods in succession, stop them from posting for awhile.

I've heard worse recordings, although I'd prefer a transcript.

Sorry, return type is boolean, not floating point.

Men don't lament about not having power. If they want power, they _take it_. By force if necessary. Until women understand that asking for power does not result in _real_ power, they will play second fiddle to men.

What constitutes sexual assault and sexual harassment in this study? Sorry to be cynical, but phrases like these are too often used as weasel words trying to get a shock out of people (or in this case, more grant money).

I'm waiting until there's a smart watch that functions as a feature-rich health monitor. Tell me about my white blood cell count, blood pressure, vitamin deficiencies, and so on.
