Yes, those people standing there were very slow on the trigger. In a situation like that 3 seconds is a lifetime and I'm shocked there weren't people in the water before the splash stopped.

They planning on resurfacing their track soon? Only reason I could think of for allowing this. Rubber can wreck a race track...let alone a bunch of steel ice skates on cars.
Just bought an '86 BMW 325es. Five in the floor...and it's brilliant.
I think the biggest problem they had this year was the tire barrier on the chicane. Thankfully during the Indy race they finally just gave up putting it back in place, but the amount of time they took to replace it during the ALMS race was ridiculous...and of course it got hit again within a lap or so of the restart.
Yeah, I thought the asshat with the Kia took the cake.
First off, great little project for us hackers to follow.
One of the folks that died didn't die in the crash, they were hit by a truck.
Man...I'm going to Baltimore to see the BGP with a buddy over Labor Day weekend...so wanted this movie to be out that weekend.
...and I am/was mistaken about iTunes. Looks like they're streaming now. Took 'em long enough. '-)
iOS is nothing to really crow about...and Apple didn't come up with multi-touch. The behavior of the OS is inspired as much by the technology of the device as anything else. Just because Apple combined other's multi-touch technology with the decades old concept of icons does not make them a brilliant innovator. …
I doubt any of this will change until harsh criminal penalties for the abuse of these systems by their operators/politicians are put in place. Several municipal politicians in the United States under investigation for camera enforcement shenanigans. The people we put the most trust in, the police and government…
That judge that did what for on the kids got sentenced today, the other day, recently, whathaveyou. 28 years and a million dollar fine. I hope he's got a young cellmate.
Oh, they know it. Know exactly what they need to do to get around it. These guys I suppose...hard to say...could just be horribly corrupt and not just stupid. I think that since individual police departments get paid by the federal government to make drug arrests, their motivation for making drug arrests could be…
Depends on what color you are and/or how much money you have....though that's changing. White people (me) are starting to get a taste of what it's like to deal with law enforcement as a non-white person. Police departments get a lot of federal cheese for each drug arrest, so rules get bent/broken a lot to make that…
X (current version X11) was introduced in 1984. I wonder where Apple got the name for OS...X? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_Window_…
Considering that OSX is just Unix...I'm not gonna give 'em much credit for that.
Apple is good at tiny, shiny little devices. Something you can hold in your hand or put on a desk. That's about it. Ask them to do software or something beyond that...I wouldn't expect much. Siri hasn't really changed the world, and Apple's maps fell flat on its face when launched....iTunes *STILL* isn't cloud…
