Yes, but, strictly speaking, putting a load on your cig adapter means you 're putting an additional load on your alternator, which in turn decreases your gas mileage - probably negligible in this case, but still...

Why do you know things I'd like to know?

But we do understand that the telecom industry in the US is quite a monopolistic (ok, make that trio-polistic), archaic thing that ties you up for two years, and gives you bad service for this...

...or could it be an intentionally false lead, covering the tracks of an updated iPad? Ahhh, wishful thinking...

Good point. And: this is sooo 2011... What you really want is a system where you just imagine the movements, and the decoded EEG drives the robot.

If he's a grad student, it's probably not so much "Jafferis' research group" than "Sturm's research group". Nice work, though!

...

I do understand that - I'm from these times as well (and I still love to look up stuff in books). I intended this to be a caricature of many people I knew who had large encyclopedias, but didn't really use them...

And righteously so - they should have given you a decent spanking for trying! A research paper should be based on primary, scholarly sources, and not textbooks or encyclopedias.

It's made by the unwashed, uneducated masses. The plebs. Because everybody who can click a mouse button can contribute, the results often are accordingly. And yes, I also use it sometimes.

So right, given that an average reaction time to an auditory stimulus is at least ~150 ms, and even more for visual stimuli! Unless you can connect that watch to a light sensor that triggers it, this accuracy is pretty useless.

You mean there's little variable error in your age statement, but a considerable constant error? The sign of which is positive?

You don't actually expect correct grammar in this publication, don't you?!

Yes, these sound like two plausible reasons. A third one is probably the deep-rooted individualism in the US, that makes people rather drive (alone) in their 'my-car-is-my-castle' than using mass transport. And maybe have to walk (gasp!) a block or two to their final destination (ok, yes, here the distance problem…

... which brings me to the much more relevant bacon, hmmmm...

Actually, most Australians don't get used to it either, in my opinion. Through all the advertising cliches they of course know about the 'cosiness' of celebrating Christmas in Winter (after all, all that light/candle symbolism only makes sense when it's dark outside, and cold), and often cities have celebrations in…

Sure thing - lights at night attract fish, biiiiig fish... You can't see them, but now they can see you.

Does it also work for chasing after cheating husbands?

"...webcam sex with a drunk truck driver from Utah...": I'll spend the rest of my day trying to un-think that vision. Then again, a truck driver probably has a hard time getting drunk in Utah...

No worries - there's no x-ray problem (I suppose you mean airports, right?) for films.
