Normally I don't do this but I was curious. I RTFA and it seems that the studies were all about preventing pooling/jamming. It may be true that by creating disruptions one can reduce jamming but how does that affect the overall traffic flow. I would suspect in a perfect system each car abiding by the rules would have the greatest flow. What is hard to determine is that in the real world what would be the best.

Actually I don't think it really matters. Even if the study shows that driving 65 and leaving 5 second gaps can prevent 50% of traffic jams the social change necessary probably wouldn't happen.

I trust Microsoft to make money. Knowing that makes it easy to know where they are going. Google makes money too but only on adwords so the rest of their offerings are a bit harder to decipher.

How do you propose we arrive at 3rd and 4th generation reactors? Personally I am not a big fan of hybrid cars because I like cheap used cars like my 94 honda but someone has to pay for the R&D that will help make my next used car that much better. You don't learn to run by sitting down. You learn to run by standing up, falling down, getting back up, walking, falling down, and getting back up again. I don't see the whole world uniting behind this and making some otherworldy nuclear expirement.

I think you are underestimating the need for a game engine. The better the game engine the easier it is to develop for and the more time they have to work on content. It is hard to have good content when your engine fails to enable you to express it.

Part of the reason for your reasoning though is that today it is more marketable to have nice screenshots that look cool on boxes/tv/websites/tech demos/etc and thus a disproportionate ammount of resources is directed this way.

Even SCUMM as dated as it is holds as a good engine because it lets the developer express his content effectively.

Wait you mean to tell me MTV is playing music videos again? This really is a blast from the past.

There must be a bug with some machines. My Asus eee pc 1000h installed from a USB drive in about 17 minutes to full ready to use W7. Two other newer desktops with new intel CPU's took almost an hour. Both Asus mobos ironically enough. The VM install on Fusion took 1+ hour as well. There is a write up on HardOCP and their install was quick.

Not sure what the deal is but hopefully some larger data sets can turn up something.

No, my friend you are way off. This is much bigger than a VHS tape.

I agree, when I was a kind I could eat all kinds of candy and feel fine. Now that I eat candy about once a quarter I can barely finish a pack of skittles. As a matter of fact I can't I have to give the rest to my two year old, who I know can eat a pack on his own. Thanks Grandma.

Granted this is just me but I say try it. Once you get used to no salt or sugar or butter etc it actually becomes hard to eat those things.

Really should say NOBODY from Oklahoma.

Stop trying to pretend to be an Okie. Anyone from Oklahoma doesn't call themselves and Oklahoman.

In addition you need to cover the FV of your extra 8k down at purchase over 10 years. Minus the tax break 5k over 10 years with even a simple investment of 5% is worth over 8k. (net is 3k)

This works with some kids and not others. Some kids refuse to sleep at nearly all costs. Personally I thought going to sleep was a great idea and almost always was in bed around 9. My son hates to sleep and being 2.5 needs to be told to go to bed and made to stay there. He will be so exhausted that he will be falling asleep eating, being held, and all kinds of other weird positions because he hates to sleep. Sometimes at night we let him stay up when we go to bed but most of the time he needs to be taught this is you tired and now you go to bed. Sometimes it is nice to have a teacher.

Thought they were moving from windows security cameras to *nix security cameras. Looks like just plain nixing cameras altogether is the best move. Further proof that nix is better than Windows.

I work in radio so even if you have Friday off as part of the IT team you will be on-call for something.
