No it doesn't. The reason the bank exerts a sideways force on the car is because gravity pushes downwards, there's an equal and opposite resistive force from the road (Newton's Third Law), and since the road is not perpendicular to the gravitational force this has a vertical and horizontal component. Without gravity, there would be no horizontal component of the resistive force.

So what if the sheet is curved? Banking on a race track corner works due to gravity, not because of the shape of the curve.

No, it'd explode or melt the cables as the current draw would be too high.

Obviously.

It's not a solution. It's a bare minimum requirement that doesn't solve for bitrot.

Oh what I'd do for usable upload bandwidth and reasonable data caps...

No, it does not have the same data-checking features. Yes, it has a performance hit. Worst of both worlds. I've used it, and junked it as it was literally an order of magnitude slower than RAID5 via mdadm on Linux and didn't actually add any resiliency over RAID5 or flexibility as to grow an existing pool, you need to add multiple similarly sized drives since it doesn't rebalance. This is despite their marketing claims that you can add mismatched drives in an ad hoc fashion and have it "just work".

The only way to get Microsofts unproven resiliency benefits is to use ReFS in conjunction with mirroring (not parity) on the expensive server editions. Windows 8/8.1 does not support ReFS.

Don't PC games have DRM to prevent piracy? It's not bulletproof.

They are essentially just locked down PCs. They're tuned for memory bandwidth, but the fundamental architecture is largely the same.

I was under the impression Wine only did DX9c and that DX10+ was a work in progress.

I just tried GT4 on it the other day and it's fairly buggy. Letters from menu items missing unless I manually enable some emulation clipping hacks, the ghost cars don't work at all, and the audio engine has popping noises fairly regularly. It's playable, but not even close to flawless.

Hardware wise, I've had way more issues with NVIDIA. Software/driver wise, they've both had their fair share of issues. Don't go near AMD Enduro systems...

Alternatively put the disposable income in a savings account or some kind of investment scheme and statistically come out better off.

Ask customers of the Zune, music covered by PlaysForSure, the Kin and various other products that I'm sure Microsoft thoroughly supported after abandoning them.

An x86 mobile phone already is a thing.

A luxury. Myki typically takes 48 hours when topped up online.
