I think solracer is referring to the fact that interlaced video typically has twice the refresh rate. E.g. 60 fields per second instead of 30 frames per second giving better perceived smoothness. However this was simply a limitation of technology at the time, and newer hardware (even the several year old GoPro

And yet the neon lighting makes it look like a cheap Bangkok whorehouse.

Initially he took a good look, probably saw a train but it was far far away. You see his walking pace accelerate as he goes, which was probably the "oh shit" moment when he realized the train was going a lot faster than he thought (hard to judge speed from a distance looking straight on). He was very lucky to escape

Exactly. The majority of glass users are using it as an information device, they are no more likely to record a video than your average cell phone user. Plus it is pretty obvious when you say "OK glass, record a video". The insinuation that it is a high-tech device for spying is total BS. If that was the intent

You have to qualify first by beating the qualifying time threshold in your age bracket in another recognized marathon. For under 35 the men's qualifying time was 3 hours 5 minutes, +30 for women. First round they take all the applicants that beat the qualifying time by 20 minutes, if not full then those that beat it

They keep crashing those.

In the tech industry suit and ties went out of fashion about the same time as IBM.

That's an unknown until he fully regains consciousness and the state of any brain damage can be assessed. It could be learning to walk again, learning to talk, who knows.

I have to agree. Loads of understeer seem to be present judging by the way he was yanking on the wheel trying to get the car to turn. It was only when he forced the car sideways that the understeer would be converted into gobs of drifty oversteer. More than likely this was because he couldn't get the car to go

Yes. The deductible amount is the "donation amount" minus the fair market value of what was received. Anyone that has bought anything from a PBS fund raiser should know this :)

Boston replaced 14 (North and South considered separate) bridges on I93 in 2011 over the course of 3 months. They did one bridge per weekend, closing down the one side of the highway on Friday night and the bridge was open for traffic on Monday morning - thanks to modular prefabrication. They estimated it would have

For China I would suggest Stinky Tofu, a very authentic Shanghai dish, although it may cause an evacuation. For a less offensive meal, maybe Scallion Pancakes and Spicy Cumin Ribs? I'm also a sucker for Stirfry Shanghai Noodles and Pan Fried Pork Dumplings (Shengjianbao).

Car & Driver uses rollout in their 0-60 measurements as do most of the manufacturers. Effectively their 0-60 is a 5-60 for high performance cars since the car has traveled a foot when measurement begins.

Rural Australia is pretty much that.

A slightly better version of this perhaps?

Actually this problem affects ALL Infiniti's including the G37 and even the Nissan 370Z. No recall for these vehicles though despite numerous complaints from owners. Rough roads or loose surface (sand etc) cause the rear axle to slightly lock under hard braking (thanks to aggressive rear bias) resulting in the ABS
