You were doing it wrong. Your engine nor car will really warm up before you are on the road, and it is bad for the environment too. Don't your neighbors hate you?

You should have a heater installed. Clever ones store and reuse the heat of the last trip.

The summary only mentions electrical pulses, it should have mentioned that the local chemical environment is part of the information exchange.

Users of Microsoft software always remind me of the first little pig, the one that builds a house of straw.

This is a way to make a panoramic view touchable.

Imagine a thin suit that has this on the inside, and that projects a processed presentation of the environment on the body of the wearer. You would feel the car coming from behind before it hit you. :)

(Yes, I wrote on this before.)

I always look for communication skills, business sense, math skills, and yes, of course technical skills too.

And at least 5 years of experience, which I agree is not very community friendly.

Bars? On an iPhone? I thought we already gave up on that.

Has the "next" button already been defined? Or even patented?

I like to see a standard [back/up\next] interface that is easy to set from HTML, so you never have to look for it again when a set of pages is structured that way.

For example, I don't like interfaces like the one this has: http://www.htdp.org/2003-09-26/Book/

This is not about solar panels. Solar panels are stupid for anything else but places far from the "mains".

This is about mirrors reflecting sunlight on water containers. Very effective. Much more environmentally friendly than solar panels.

I think this ruling is great. Now we can start charging back the spammers for the work they cause us, and of course send 1% of what we receive to SpamHaus.

I call this "fork and merge" and we have been doing it since forever (1993 at least, but we surely didn't invent it).

The general technique is to have multiple processors work on part of the data set, in a potentially wasteful/redundant way, and then when the results are coming in, perform a merge step to arrive at a clean result.

Multi-threading must die. Forking is your past, present and future.

Processing chunks is also more effective, because you give other processes a chance to do some work too.

(" and in one sentence-alert :)

You don't want multithreading, you want forking.

Wind Mills and Electric Solar Panels are the Alchemy of our Age.

Don't let their green image fool you, the "hidden costs" are big.
Even in the few cases where their appliances are somewhat practical, we have real alternatives available.

Why take energy from moving Air, when you have moving Water?
Why use the thin rays from above (Fire), when you have a molten core (Earth) below?

Let's build (clean) geothermal systems.

Photovoltaics can do some:

but Solar Thermal Power Plants already do it better:

Multi-threading is insecure in itself. Stop sharing, start merging.
