Haha! It’s an emergency!

 

Who can blame you, I guess? Nobody wants to fudge in their car.

 

Maybe you could use the bathroom before you leave home though.

 

Maybe you should talk to your doctor.

I’d seen this around for years and figured it was a joke, but no, it’s a real thing. It’s called the Ostrich Pillow, it’s $99.00 and it’s dry-clean only.

MUCAJAÍ - Após vencer as licitações para administrar o Maracanã, o aeroporto do Galeão, a linha 6 do metrô de São Paulo e a BR-163, a Odebrecht faz parte do consórcio que adquiriu os direitos de Roraima. "Não é privatização, é empréstimo", salientou a presidenta Dilma Rousseff. “Roraima evidentemente não deu certo nas mãos da União. A Odebrecht terá a concessão pelos próximos 50 anos, revogáveis por outros 850", explicou a mandatária, acrescentando que o contrato não prevê devolução antes disso. “Se não quiser, tem de passar adiante para algum estado do Mercosul.”

POLO NORTE - Dias depois da Polícia Federal interceptar um trenó voador puxado por renas de nariz vermelho, Zezé Perrela anunciou o cancelamento da tradicional queima de estoque para a família mineira. "Este ano não teremos White Friday", lamentou. Diego Armando Maradona, que vai anualmente a Minas Gerais prestigiar o evento, lamentou o ocorrido.

First time accepted submitter hurwak-feg writes "I am in the market for a new IT (software development or systems administration) job for the first time and several years and noticed that many postings have very specific requirements (i.e. specific models of hardware, specific software versions). I don't understand this. I like working with people that have experience with technologies that I don't because what they are familiar with might be a better solution for a problem than what I am familiar with. Am I missing something or are employers making it more difficult for themselves and job seekers by rejecting otherwise qualified candidates that don't meet a very specific mold. Is there a good reason for being extremely specific in job requirements that I am just not seeing?"

Take that evolution!

mrspoonsi writes "A team of ex-Nokia employees has released the first handset running on a new smartphone platform. The Jolla phone — pronounced Yol-la — is powered by open-source operating system Sailfish, but can run most apps designed for Google's Android platform. The platform — originally called MeeGo — was developed by Nokia, but dumped in 2011 in favour of the company adopting the Windows Phone system. Nokia released just one handset running the software, the N9-00. Antti Saarnio, chairman and co-founder of Jolla, told the BBC in May that MeeGo — now called Sailfish — had not been given enough chance to succeed."

Jah-Wren Ryel writes "In 2012, Canadian Ellen Richardson was hospitalized for clinical depression. This past Monday she tried to board a plane to New York for a $6,000 Caribbean cruise. DHS denied her entry, citing supposedly private medical records listing her hospitalization. From the story: '“I was turned away, I was told, because I had a hospitalization in the summer of 2012 for clinical depression,’’ said Richardson, who is a paraplegic and set up her cruise in collaboration with a March of Dimes group of about 12 others.'"

Hugh Pickens DOT Com writes "David Talbot writes at MIT Technology review that engineers on the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), an informal organization of engineers that changes Internet code and operates by rough consensus, have asked the architects of Tor to consider turning the technology into an Internet standard. If widely adopted, such a standard would make it easy to include the technology in consumer and business products ranging from routers to apps and would allow far more people to browse the Web without being identified by anyone who might be spying on Internet traffic. The IETF is already working to make encryption standard in all web traffic. Stephen Farrell believes that forging Tor into a standard that interoperates with other parts of the Internet could be better than leaving Tor as a separate tool that requires people to take special action to implement. 'I think there are benefits that might flow in both directions,' says Farrell. 'I think other IETF participants could learn useful things about protocol design from the Tor people, who've faced interesting challenges that aren't often seen in practice. And the Tor people might well get interest and involvement from IETF folks who've got a lot of experience with large-scale systems.' Andrew Lewman, executive director of Tor, says the group is considering it. 'We're basically at the stage of 'Do we even want to go on a date together?' It's not clear we are going to do it, but it's worth exploring to see what is involved. It adds legitimacy, it adds validation of all the research we've done.'"

The difference then and now

A Nissan iniciou os testes de um exemplar do Leaf equipado com sistema de motorista autônomo em uma via expressa Sagami, na prefeitura de Kanagawa, sudeste de Tóquio (Japão). A bordo do automóvel durante a realização do primeiro teste estavam o prefeito Yuji Kuroiwa e o vice-presidente mundial da montadora japonesa, Toshiyuki Shiga. O evento contou também com a presença de diversos jornalistas.

“Por meio desses testes em rodovia, esperamos avançar no desenvolvimento tecnológico, com o desafio de disponibilizar logo veículos com motoristas autônomos. Quando iniciamos um novo projeto, é necessário um grande esforço para ganhar e entender todas as variáveis envolvidas. Conseguimos conduzir esse importante teste na via expressa Sagami, e ficamos agradecidos pelo grande suporte oferecido pela prefeitura de Kanagawa”, disse o vice-presidente da Nissan.

O Nissan Leaf usado no teste é equipado com tecnologia que detecta a condição da rodovia e, automaticamente, opera os principais controles do carro, incluindo direção, freio e aceleração, podendo entrar no trânsito, trocar de pistas e manter uma distância segura dos outros carros. O modelo é o primeiro veículo equipado com esse sistema a ter autorização para ser emplacado, ou seja, pode circular livremente pelas ruas do Japão.

DeviceGuru writes "DM&P Group has begun shipping a $39 Arduino compatible boardset and similar mini-PC equipped with a new computer-on-module based on a new 300MHz x86 compatible Vortex86EX system-on-chip. The $39 86Duino Zero boardset mimics an Arduino Leonardo, in terms of both form-factor and I/O expansion. The tiny $49 86Duino Educake mini-PC incorportates the same functionality, but in a 78 x 70 x 29mm enclosure with an integrated I/O expansion breadboard built into its top surface. The mini-PC's front and back provide 2x USB, audio in/out, Ethernet, and COM interfaces, power input, and an SD card slot. The hardware and software source for all the boards, including the computer-on-module, are available for download under open source licenses at the 86Duino.com website."

xiox writes "The European Space Agency (ESA) have decided that its next two large astronomy missions (costing 2bn Euros) will be to study two aspects of the "invisible universe". The first will be a very large X-ray telescope to be launched in 2028. It will study the physics of the hottest and largest structures in the universe, investigating how they formed and evolved. It will also investigate how black holes grow and affect the universe. The second mission, launched in 2034, will be an observatory capable to measure gravitation waves, the stretches and compressions in space-time caused by massive moving systems, such as merging pairs of black holes. Although the final designs are not yet chosen, the two proposed observatories Athena and eLISA are likely choices. BBC News has more information."

O Novo Renault Twingo só será equipado com motores a gasolina. O compacto da marca francesa deverá ter propulsor instalado no eixo traseiro e o espaço no cofre interno acomodará apenas unidades com três cilindros e inclinação de 49 graus.

A Renault adaptou os motores 0.9 TCe e 1.2 TCe com blocos inclinados. A empresa espera que no futuro outros carros possam se utilizar destes dois propulsores com posição mais baixa de funcionamento. O 0.9 TCe terá uma versão sem turbo com 65 cv, enquanto a outra continua com 90 cv. Já o 1.2 TCe vai entregar 140 cv na Twingo RS.

Médicos cubanos contestaram o laudo assinado por cinco cardiologistas onde consta que o deputado José Genoino (PT-SP) não é portador de doença cardiovascular grave e, portanto, pode cumprir pena normalmente na penitenciária.

Segundo os médicos cubanos a situação de Genoíno é gravíssima e ele deve ficar em casa: “Genoino tiene un corazón de oro y no debe estar al lado de los ladrones que pueden robar su precioso órgano”.

Which one are you?

Released in 1993, the Atari Jaguar suffered from a number of problems – it was difficult to program, had hardware idiosyncrasies, and with the CD drive was vastly overpriced compared to the Sega Saturn and Sony Playstation released one year later. Nevertheless, the Jaguar still has a rabid fanbase that counts [10p6] among them, and he’s created what Atari should have released 20 years ago.

In a few forum threads at jaguarsector (login required) and nexgam.de (no login, German), [10p6] goes over his changes to the classic Jaguar + CD combo. He’s stuffed everything inside a new case, cutting down on the amount of plastic from the old enclosure. A proper integrated power supply has been added, replacing the two power supplies used in the original. It’s also overclocked to 32 MHz, compared to the 26 MHz of the stock unit, making this a very powerful system that could have easily competed with the Saturn and Playstation.

[10p6] has an amazing piece of hardware on his hands here, and should he ever want to make a few molds of his new Jaguar, he could put together some sort of kit to replicate this build. He’s still working on finding a model maker and perfecting his case design, but a new, improved version of the Jaguar is something we’d love to see in a limited production.
