Very impressive feat. I'm just amazed its no FWD, being a Peugeot and all.

Its theory, but still.

Also,

Despite the self-contradictory way this sentence was worded, they benchmark nearly the same.

The android app actually has a "high quality" option, which IIRC sets the stream to 96kbps.

Or have to dodge a driver who pulled out in front of you, avoid a child running into a street chasing a ball, correct a slide on black ice so that you don't spin the car into a tree, etc...

Knowing how to handle those situations is admirable. Claiming you shouldn't have those skills because you shouldn't be in the situation is not what I would describe as "driving defensively". Full disclosure, I have played GT series since the first one came out and I have been driving for 8 years now, 0 accidents, 0 tickets.

Yet we have been expecting self-driving cars since the 70's. Man is driven by the irrational fear of being not in control. Our minds are programed to think we can do better for ourselves than relying on another to not screw up.

Self driving cars = public transit. I highly doubt we will see self driving cars for individuals for at least another 50 years.

Endangering one's self is freedom. Endangering other's life abuses other's freedom.

Absolutely. Leaked punch lines and secrets are only going to server to generate publicity. If anything, I would chose to film the first ones live, even if the rest of the series wouldn't be.

Supposing we built a large wooden badger...

If plans were taken as you suggest, then the plans were stolen, not the IP. Building their own aircraft from those plans is still infringement, not theft. I suggest it is you who is playing semantics, not the GP.

Part of the reason our IP laws are so useless and convoluted is because people call it theft and piracy, to elicit an emotional response, instead of calling it what it really is.

Among experts, thoughts are that statistic is flawed. Men are less likely to seek help and thus less likely to be diagnosed.

Try writing "fuck the police" on the police station with chalk and see if they think its vandalism.

Your never going to start the car with the engine at -40 though. A block heater will be more than enough to warm up the ambient temp in the engine bay I would think.

This this case, the merchant, or distributor IS the person who is ripped the CD and uploaded it. Just like if you unknowingly purchase stolen goods, you are not prosecuted as the thief.

Theft of a car is property theft, you deprive the original owner of selling it to someone. Distributing music is infringing of copyright, therefore not depriving the RIAA of selling it to others.

Try again, your analogy is fallacious.
