It might very well slam on the breaks, but the car won't and can't alter the laws of physics. Deceleration takes time so you might still get run over. I don't see how they could possibly prevent something like your scenario. Unless they make the speed limit 1 km/h or whatever speed you can more or less instantly stop at without causing harm or death.
Zero divided by anything is infinity
Perhaps in bizzarro-world it is, but here in our universe zero divided by anything is still zero.
Example; zero cookies divided among 5 people is
Do they taste like chicken?
According to them it was probably the entire world, since the rest was just barbarians.
Not really. The only thing Sweden learned was that it's hard to try and conquere half of Europe when you don't have the population required to sustain an army large enough for it. The country might be "large" in size but it's quite small in population. If Sweden had been smart they should have stopped with Norway, Finland, the baltics, northern Poland and northern Germany, but apparently that wasn't enough. That plus they made the mother of all misstakes; a winter war vs Russia. The "empire" just went downhill after that. Winter wars vs Russia just never ends well and yet every other European power tried it to afterwards and failed just as horribly.
Beyond lots of other reasons such as the state of the roman empire at that time or our current godlike technology (compared to them) there might be a slight issue of logistics here, conquering the world on foot/horse vs parking the fifth fleet outside someones country.
Not so sure, there is always the "what the heck is this thing
Cause muppets don't get paid?
So they (the chinese) want to do IQ tests, big deal. I guess it's just the way they do things over there. I'm fine with that since I'm good at seeing patterns and filling in missing numbers. But that and $5 gets me a burger at McWhatever.
But here in the "west" we are now scared of IQ for some reason, I guess we dont want to hurt the feelings of people that do badly, so instead we do personality tests such as variations of Myers-Briggs instead. I can't belive I'm the only person forced to fill in a few of those as you have applied for various jobs. I have been given these for the last two or three jobs I had and applied for. Your basic "rate yourself on a scale bollocks" tests and then we (me and the HR queen) talk abit about it later on. So it's this instead of "complete the following sequence", "fill in the missing gaps" or "how many squares are there in this picture".
Are personality tests really that much or even better then some old fashion IQ test (a very diluted term)? I think the HR department just wants a piece of paper that you didn't send them that they can somehow use to quantify things into a little number.
She scored connections with people in the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the CIO of the NSA, an intelligence director for the U.S. Marines, a chief of staff for the U.S. House of Representatives, and several Pentagon and DoD employees. The profiles also attracted defense contractors, such as Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, and Booz Allen Hamilton.
What the F*** are these people even doing on Linkedin, Facebook and Twitter anyway? Is the CIO of the NSA looking for a new spy job or what?
Just another indicator that "social networking" sites are complete bollocks and that (stupid) users (are everywhere and) will click on just about everything. "Friend? Sure
They are all giant douches, is there really a need to find out if one is a bigger one then the other? Have we really resorted to just picking the lesser douche?
But to invoke copyright laws to hide past campaign slogans and stuff does indeed score lots of douche points on the douche-o-meter. On the other hand to dig up old things and use them in the here and now as "proof" of something is a fairly big douche move to.
But
"sex" are English words that have no meaning in other languages
Sex = 6 in Swedish. I thought this was hilarious when I found out --- OTOH, I was a bit tipsy at the time.
To really make your day then
SEX (uk) = 6 (swe, number -- as in
Same word, same spelling, same pronounciation, different meanings. Tricky langugage.
That is the thing, there are a lot of them out there - full or partial mods of various kind. Most of them are not that good thou. I can only think of a handful that are even worth the effort such as Orbis. That mod won't be converted at the click of some button since features it relies upon will be gone from the game. I can only gather that that will hold true for most large modifications of its kind.
So what you'll end up with is a bunch of various maps at best, maps that will most likely be included anyway in updated form such as the one of the earth and focus maps of the continents. Which leads me to belive this is such a non-feature I doubt it will really amount to much. Massive amounts of crap content gets converterd that more or less nobody will use anyway. Perhaps it will make some of the content conversions easier and faster but I wouldn't hold my breath.
With that in mind I can hardly see this as being a big selling point. It's not going to be the big content modifications that get converterd this way, those will be recreated later if at all. Just as all the good Civ3 once didn't make it to Civ4 but some where recreated later or evolved into new once.
Neutrinos have bad breadth.
