I'd love to get this for school.

Get out of my head!

I'm sitting at MIT right now, and there are plenty of females around. As a side note, that electric bike parked next to me last week, and I've seen the porsche being driven around. They are both very impressive.

you won't lose out on much, but you will lose some energy through any of these systems. Whatever losses driving over asphalt amounts to would not likely be significantly more than this surface, so the addition of whatever means to generate electricity this system uses would be an even less efficient tax on your gas tank than regular driving. It will benefit BK, but not net useful energy. Many systems can efficiently generate voltages, but none so far can recover current any better than a car's engine.

@ sacapuntos I've used most of Grado's lineup, and own a few sets of my own. the iGrados sound fine, but Its worth it to step up to the sr-60s. As with any audiophile setup, you'll be chasing diminishing returns as you pay more, but you won't get more bang for your buck than with Grados.

The only way for the economy to be fixed is with a real, value-backed dollar. This fractional reserve bullshit is just that. Banks wouldn't have done what they did if that were the currency, and people wouldn't have been lured into sub prime loans. It would be hard to get back to this, but its the only way.

if you were truly using an industrial model it undoubtedly uses SQUID's which this does not. If you were giving the lecture I'm surprised you don't understand the difference; even if this isn't closely related to your study, some one in "psychophysiology" ought to understand the differences between how differing systems "read" the mind, or at least be able to infer why a hundred dollar toy wouldn't incorporate said technology.

Judging by all the hatred microsoft fanboys dump on the wii, I can't really see this appealing to the xbox demographic. Then again, if MS is moving ahead with it, They must have a significant enough base outside of those trolls for this to be marketable. If they can pull it off without it being gimmicky, kudos to them. Personally, I doubt the accuracy will live up to the demands any FPS designer would have for input accuracy; integration into those games would be pretty key for me to see it as a success.

Engadget Classic, by far. Most of the readers probably don't even know about it, but its my personal fave. I might have the title wrong, but between all the old atari gear and bitchin ascii graphics, it was a hilarious post.

I put this below, but everyone seems to have the same question.

The solution is tacking the vehicle. lets say the wind blows due north at 30 mph, and we know this car is going 126 mph. In an ideal world, this means that the final vector must be 126 mph (obviously) at a heading of 76.2 degrees ENE. Where does the 76.2 come from? The cosine of the record setting angle must equal the ratio of the wind divided by his speed. Hence; cos-1(30/126)=76.2. Considering losses due to friction, his tack must have been greater than 76.2 degrees off of the winds direction. More than likely, his approach started directly aligned with the wind. As he approached the winds 30 mph, he would have slowly turned his vehicle while keeping the sail perpendicular to the wind. Assuming a steady wind and gradual steering, his speed would have peaked at 126 mph. He would then make slight adjustments until he was at his percieved maximum velocity. (this heading, as stated above, would be >76.2 degrees, and less than 90 degrees for obvious reasons.)
Is everyone on the same page now?
