One monkey says to a group of other monkeys: "We all need to take one of the 5 bananas we individually have to feed the doctor monkey, the asphalt monkey and the teacher monkey, from whom we receive services." One monkey from the

As a Pebble user, I sleep with my watch on as it wakes me up in a much gentler way than any audio alarm does. However, having a week long charge is also about more than just being able to avoid charging it at night. It also means that the r

People seem to quite commonly write "Mac OS X 10.6", which duplicates the 10. News articles and Wikipedia included. I don't remember what the machines themselves reported, though. I don't have anything pre-Sierra anymore

I think he meant that it was not supposed to be "Mac Oh Es Ten Ten Nine Two", but rather "Mac Oh Es Ten Nine Two" when referring to Mac OS X 10.9.2. Do you think people said "Mac Oh Es Nine Nine One", or "

Well, this is the point. It's really hard to convince people to make a change, especially if it costs them anything (such as synced chat logs), on basis of something they don't care about. I would say that it is a massive prob

An instant messaging platform needs a network of users. I am more likely to use a platform that allows me to talk to all of my contacts, than to use multiple platforms that only allows me to talk to a few each. If I have multiple, I am also

Unfortunately, some Telegram usability comes from a reduction in security. Things like seamlessly going, with full chat-history, between multiple devices is a bit tricky when your protocol only permits one person to receive a message once,

I should try a car with one of those transmissions, then. They sound quite interesting. While I have driven quite a lot of cars, I have never dealt with such a transmission, but it sounds both nice and efficient. How's the comfort trad

1. I may misremember, but I do seem to recall a case where the unintended acceleration happened in a Toyota as the person was parking, with the car accelerating into the wall in front of them. But, indeed, that may be misinformation, so I&#

It's a bit hard to understand where you're trying to go here but assuming that you state it doesn't take fuel to "counter engine braking", you're wrong. Engine braking is just that, using the engine as a brake.

In case of Toyota, the error was not with the driver. Not having ninja reflexes when your car misinterprets throttle input as you are parking is not user error. Reasons that a driver might not simply turn off the engine : 1. Twisting the k

I suspect that your brakes will seize very quickly if you try to battle your engine at full power.

Automatic transmissions back then were quite the hydraulic maze, as they operated entirely on hydraulics. These days, they're electronically controlled. I don't think the failure rate has changed. In a manual, you can of course cl

"We’ve combined the best attributes of conventional automatic, continuously variable and dual clutch transmissions. The transmission locks up to couple directly with the engine over a far wider range than other automatics. This deliver

Well, engine braking to the red light would have been more efficient. :) But indeed, automatic cars are less efficient. They do not know what you will do next, so they often make erroneous gear shifts that waste fuel and time. They don&#x

When you coast with engaged clutch, you will engine brake. Energy doesn't go to the engine for free. Adding the fuel to counter the engine braking is less efficient than letting the engine run idle while coasting due to losses in the p

The lock-up only locks up in very limited conditions, especially older ones. There's basically a few specific speeds with a 10km/h margin that locks up.
