If I was on a 4:3 display, I'd be with you. On a wide aspect ratio like my iMac's 16:9, especially because the OSX menu bar is almost always consuming the top few percent of real estate, I prefer my tabs on the right (and Dock on the left).

Nine percent of the total fleet by quantity of airframes, I assume? How many percent of UPS's *ton-miles* do the MD-11 fleet represent? I take it the majority of brown aircraft are feederliners like ATRs or Caravans.

I think most importers are looking at models right around the 25-year-old mark, though. It appears to me that most models of that vintage had already transitioned to architectural headlamps, or were in the process.

Adjustment does not change the beam *pattern.* Some round ECE headlamps that go into round holes meant for DOT sealed beams, as I understand, can be rotated so their kickup goes to the correct side, but not so for Z-beam type dipped beams. Google "ECE beam pattern." Obviously, most any composite style headlight cluster can't simply be rotated.

One factor that DOES affect other road users is that headlights on right-hand-drive-market vehicles have the wrong dipped beam pattern for USA highways. I would guess that not a lot of kei trucks' parts bins have LHD headlamps available for easy swap.

How am I, as a pedestrian, supposed to make eye contact with the "driver" of an autonomous vehicle at a crosswalk I'm deciding whether to enter?

Air has a surprisingly high specific heat. It just has a low density.

Most of the stuff I (consciously) put in my fridge doesn't spill out as soon as I open it, either. Cold air does.

My back-of-the-envelope calculations put the energy required to rechill a typical refrigerator's airmass by 20K is in the 10^5 J range, or around 3 watt-hours.

The Nexus 6 is the obvious answer, even if its camera is possibly not as great as the [P|X]. You get pure Android and Qi.

Pickens has been saying this for years. Iran, Iraq and Kuwait, too.

It has happened already.

Thank you sir. iTMW will improve my n810 experience.

Sweet!

So why the fuck would anyone want to be on facebook?

People who can think more than 5 minutes ahead don't want to be on facebook, and they aren't. However the majority of people only care of "now", even if that much. They post a message or a photo because they can't be bothered to think what it can cause in the future.

To make things worse, it generally hurts your privacy to have a social life these days. Even if *you* didn't take the photo and didn't post it for all to see, someone else - out of tens of random people you met - can do so and attach your name to the photo, all that without you knowing. And that's how the data trail grows.

Even on /., formerly a bastion of near-paranoid sysadmins, posts appeared (a few years ago, IIRC) saying "the war for privacy is lost, so abandon all hope, drop all defenses and have fun!" And there is indeed a serious push to abandon all hope because it takes more and more effort with every passing day to keep your privacy, and it certainly puts constraints on how you deal with your friends and how you participate in social events. I do not expect majority of the population, especially teenagers, to sacrifice that much at cost of what they value most [at the moment] - their friends and their social life.
