"Ok, YOUR job will be to drive as sloppily as possible around this track... I'm talking lots of smoke, tons of ass-waggling, absolutely no intent on a fast or smooth lap here... maximum shaking. YOUR job, will be to make a godawful mess with some markers and try not to get carsick. GOT IT?"

I agree about the danger, but it's also just as likely that those spots are from a previous (un-taped) attempt. It's completely plausible to think that the dialog was like "Holy shit that was funny, let me fire up my cameraphone and do that again!"

Look through the shelves on the right hand side and you'll see another truck of some sort. Looks like it might be a loader or some industrial vehicle. My guess is that the Dodge is trying to pull it, but to no avail. It certainly behaves like it's on a leash.

True, but do they run off of the USB bus?

Not mentioned: Displaylink peripheral screen, like the Mimo here: [www.mimomonitors.com]

SPIT!

Most people also can't tell the difference between a CD, a high quality rip using flac or ogg, an mp3, and the shit 56k sirius feed either. But that doesn't mean there isn't one.

So I'm assuming that the soundtrack to this commercial was done by the technology right?

Well there's your rub. You can't really have rugged headphones that sound good and are cheap. You get what you pay for.

Also: Spacebar invokes QuickLook, which will display just about any kind of document from images to .eps files. Select a group of files and hit space, you have the option of a slide show. Select a sound file, .mp3 or video, hit space and preview it right there without opening it.

Except that, as I understand it, they weren't promised that by the hospital.

You're right, I don't have a lot of experience with the internal workings of most law firms. I was basing my comment on the tone of yours, which was painting a picture of a freelance worker who had the freedom and ability to select or reject their clients.

Your analogy between nursing and law is tenuous at best and fails due to a major flaw:

If they're going to cite religious discrimination as a reason for them to not want to care for women pre or post abortion, then they should also be suing so that none of them have to work on Sundays either, or wear those cotton/poly blend scrubs.

I think the best use of this would be for headphone cables. That way getting snagged on something won't result in your ear canal getting ripped out unexpectedly.

That's fair, but not really what I'm talking about. I was refuting the author's assumption that if 2 cars collide they would each sustain the combined total force of the crash, and that's just physically impossible.

It's the sum of their velocities divided by two.

No. They don't. There is (as I mentioned above) only a finite amount of energy involved in any given crash. There's the energy that Car A brings, and the energy that Car B brings.

Crash forces don't combine when 2 cars crash head-on. Each is subjected to the exact same force as if it hit a solid wall at whatever speed it was going.
