May this requirement and/or company find the irrelevance they deserve. I have nothing to say that hasn't been said before, just another "uservoice" you can ignore.

I was just thinking something similar - given how constrained the movement of the legs are, you could probably get a convincing effect from a single gyro/accelerometer pack that goes around each ankle. If someone wanted a headset-based solution, I don't see why they couldn't just add an additional camera facing down... since that's roughly where you're seeing your own legs from anyhow, and modern image processing software seems to be up to the task of basic mocap. Extra points if you just chroma key in the user's own legs.

I would've been significantly more surprised if this wasn't the first comment.

I should also note that this car has a fairly basic information console, and this sort of thing is entirely unsurprising at its age.

Same symptom on a 2004 Toyota Avalon. "Fixed" by setting the date to 2011, which has the same pattern of days (so as to correct the day name display, as it seems to serve no other function beyond providing that information).

I find 1.75x, if the player has it available, to be a very good balance with very little need to ever rewind.

A sufficiently large number of small rats might be trainable as an emergency blanket. I'm sure the rescuees would enjoy the company.

To hell with compromise. Dog-mounted rat launcher.

That looks like it really hurt, Bob. Now on to sports.

Weirdly, all of my dabblings with Vista (many years after 7 came out) were broadly positive. Trying to stuff that onto coal-burning single-core NetBurst machines and low-clock Core CPUs was a bad idea, particularly without a hard push for big RAM and 64-bit. I also suspect the poll would be pretty split between ME and Vista if it had been on the poll. Also why 7 and 8 were lumped together... no clue.

Very early on, when vastly less was know, I feel the fear was reasonable in the face of (globally, not referring to anything specific) chaotic responses and exponentially expanding case counts (it tends to unnerve me a bit when a log-scale graph becomes appropriate for representing data of potentially mortal concern)... but I have to agree, people have been running with these sorts of one-parameter fears for too long (and it's not just with respect to this context).

I'm going to envision this software in my mind as being built with a UI similar to the 1990s pre-flash "punch your boss" and "pie billgates!" games, with the current CCP chairman poorly animated basically just saying "NO" and making angry faces.

Lisp machines come to mind as well (in context of OS-language duality), though came along much later than the Lisp language (1958, Lisp Machines Inc. founded 1979, the concept having been developed throughout the 70s, namely the MIT Lisp Machine).

Maybe I'm off-base, but in the context of the article, AS/400 Control Language programming also comes to mind (being deeply ingrained in the OS and seemingly oriented towards management task, but still relatively general purpose)

Nah, they're too busy removing the useful things like split-screen capability and other things to make macro/vba/vsto development even more obtuse and clunky.

Just call 1-900-MICROSOFT! And it won't work unless you dial the last two letters too!
