Wheelbase
Looking at the article, the wheelbase is 160", but that's not the width. The wheelbase is the distance between the axles.
We Americans have big cars, but even a 1965 Lincoln isn't *that* wide.

""Note that the vibrations can be generated in a non-audible frequency range (less than 20 Hz or greater than 20K Hz) to prevent users from hearing the acoustic charging signal," the filing says, answering the question that we're sure was on your worried mind."
I dunno, what's on my mind is I don't really want ear buds producing more emag fields next to my brain.
"I'm still so going once they've refilled it, filling up on the poor excuse for beer that they have, and taking a pee in the biggest flushing toilet in the world! :D"
You clearly haven't had Oregon beer, or frankly any of the other non-mainstream beer in the US.

There's another way to read the results, since the company that did the survey is selling cross-platform tools. Perhaps they're seeing a downtick in interest in Android due to developers giving up on cross-platform and just coding for Android directly. Android is starting to pass everyone in market share, it could very much be that giving up on the other platforms.
The 3G service on Verizon wasn't all that useful unless you were making international calls. It dialed a number (408 area code) and then did some Skype magic to connect the phone to the Internet user. What was really awful was you needed two apps, the 3G 'Skype Mobile' and regular 'Skype' if you wanted to use Skype on both Wifi and 3G.
"I'd say this is more of a challenge than what they did before; mathematically I don't see what they can come up with beyond the effect of a diorama filled with flat cardboard cutouts, so I'm intrigued if it's better than dire."
If the special '3D' version of Harry Potter 5 I saw in a theater is anything to go by, yes, it'll be a set of cardboard cut-outs in 3D.
What's the point of using an SD card, other than it being a bit easier to hide? I'd think to be leet[0] she'd use Live CDs.
[0] I use that word to demonstrate how un-leet I am.
Paris, because I'm trying to make some tenuous joke so the people on the internet think I'm cool, interesting, and/or funny.
"Kubuntu? Xubuntu? They are both extremely competent distros in their own right. what happens to them?"
Neither of those are, strictly-speaking, Ubuntu distributions. They're official side-project 'spins' that don't really come into this discussion. So I think the answer is, 'they stay the same'.
"Is there anyone who is in the market for a grand's worth of laptop who has any need for a permanently fitted DVD drive? What do people use these things for?"
I'm in the middle on this one: while I don't really use the drive in my laptop all that often, I'm pretty sure I don't want to carry around an external drive just in case. So I guess I'm saying I'd rather carry a little extra weight/size than a seperate item.
"Using iSCSI over IP is a much better solution. One of the reasons being that, unlike FCoE, it can be switched. It also as a lot of other advantages over FCoE. That allows for MUCH easier scalling of large SANs."
Unless you're doing something relatively deterministic since TCP (not to mention routing) can't guarantee delivery in a specified amount of time.
"Can we have some sort of alternative CSS cookie that stores a preference which renders the site in Comic Sans or Default depending on our choice?"
Firefox -> Preferences, Content -> Fonts -> Advanced, Uncheck "Allow pages to set their own fonts".
IE -> Tools -> internet options -> general -> accessibility, ignore fonts
Just to correct some of the folks above: there's plenty of decent American beer from the smaller breweries; we just keep it for ourselves. I'd put a micro up against any of the English beer we commonly see on this side of the pond (Bass, Newcastle, and sometimes Boddington). But, I know there's better ales in England that don't make it here. See how that works?
And as for cans, they have their uses for things like camping and boating. The trick is find a micro that cans stuff. A local one here (Sly Fox) cans their Pale Ale, IPA, and Weiss for a contract with the local sports teams. You do NOT want to give Philly fans bottles to throw at people. Caldera IPA from Oregon is also a fantastic canned IPA.

"So there to the language prigs, anyone would think you French insisting on an unchanging language."
Which dictionary, Urban? :)
I'll just complain that we should not be intentionally adding completely non-logical elements to the language. What next, 'ax' becomes a valid replacement for 'ask'?
It's funny, when having friends via computer (dial-up BBS, early internet) wasn't 'average' I seem to remember folks justifying how awesome it was because they interacted on intellect and whatnot. Now that everyone is doing it, it's lame and shallow and everyone is fake.
Here's a hint: most of the people on Facebook are, for better or worse, exactly who they appear to be. The few I know that use assumed names are teachers (avoiding school district snooping) or extreme privacy worriers. Of course, I have met every single person on my friends list, so maybe I'm not average.
"The only problem with that is the code that decides whether you have crashed in enemy teritory, or just taken a heavy landing on a carrier!"
Have it erase after it touches down every time, just to be safe. It's not like you couldn't just re-flash it down in the hanger before the next sortie. But, you could always have a GPS or proximity sensor flag. If ("on the deck within a mile of X" == FALSE) erase_memory; self-destruct;
Wikileaks broke US law by releasing apparently classified documents. A US company suspended their service, just as they would for any illegal activity. How is this news?
Here's a hint: if you plan on pissing off *any* country and break its laws, don't rely on services based in that country. Duh.
"Browser figures don't help either as Linux users may fake their user agent."
That may hav been true in the past, but I for one haven't bothered in years. Generally, web sites have woken up to Firefox so most sites work fine without bothering.
That said, I'm probably one of the only people (perhaps THE only person) I know who doesn't have a Windows or Mac machine at home. I *do* know more than 100 hundred people and only a couple have a Linux install, so the numbers probably aren't that far off. I do have a work XP laptop, but I'm very strict about not using XP for anything other than work.
