I only used a Pi (1B) (20$) 4GB SD Card (5$?) case (6$) and hdmi cable (0.5$) My TV has HDMI CEC built in which means my tv remote works with the OSMC / Kodi / etc install. This gets me to a total of 31.5$ for my full HD supporting mediacenter :) (the case is even optional since it sits on the back of my TV, out of sight)

My Samsung TV has a USB port specced for connecting an HDD (for recordings and such) This port provides my Raspberry Pi running OSMC with enough power to work flawlessly.

He's probably talking about a hybrid e-Up. which is around 1200 kg because of the battery and electric motor tech, The normal Up Weighs around 850 kg.

>It's far more likely that the major reason is the non-subbed TV/movies imo

For the current set of people in their twenties I agree. However, a lot more kids TV these days is dubbed instead of subtitled. I notice that English with 14 year olds these days seems less advanced then ten years ago.

> It is clearly the fault of the bicycle if he runs into it.

In the Netherlands, we would say check the street before opening your car door. If you open your car door on a narrow street and a car hits it, is the driver of the other car also responsible?

It can do both, it's up to you.

>Nobody in Amsterdam wears a helmet while biking.

Also many tourists and a lot of expats! I also see more and more kids riding on the front / back of bikes wearing helmets, their parents usually going helmetless.

In the past, in France this recipe was default in country roads, they changed it a long time ago to alternating lanes, there's no divider though..

I'll try,

imagine a road like this: http://lh6.ggpht.com/_gt_enTZIj1g/TMq0zFITxUI/AAAAAAAADo8/Rb...

(not sweden but Netherlands but it works for the example.)

Overtaking is not allowed (except for farm traffic), in a 2+1 situation there would be three lanes all the time, alternating between directions. This means that there will always be a legal spot to overtake within a few minutes. (usually the climbing direction would be two lanes so you can overtake slow trucks e.d.) Therefore you don't have to overtake a slow driver by using the oncoming lane.

By a 'standard 3-lane highway', I assume you mean three lanes each way, these roads have nowhere near enough traffic on them to explain all that extra tarmac.

So when they are under the train they are no longer a 'customer' but a 'passenger'...

I remember an aftermarket immobiliser which required a PIN to be entered, this was in the Netherlands in the 1990's though, haven't seen it since...

>In The Netherlands operating a phone while driving (voice operated carkit exempt) gives you a ~$250 fine.

Sadly you're wrong. Holding a phone is illegal, operating it while in a car kit is officially nog prohibited.

>Artikel 61a

Het is degene die een motorvoertuig, bromfiets, snorfiets of gehandicaptenvoertuig dat is uitgerust met een motor bestuurt verboden tijdens het rijden een mobiele telefoon vast te houden.

It only covers a bit of 'Spain' within Marokko.

>Spain has two exclave located on the north coast of Africa,

When my part of Amsterdam was built (1) all houses were provided with a phoneline (about 6 different providers), Cable (sadly only 1 provider) and Fiber (about 5 providers).

Ditto

I'm running my girlfriends portfolio page on a Pi, nginx + mysql + php / Wordpress with a caching plugin. Works quite well if the pages are cached (which most are), admin stuff is quite slow.

Or a Wankel engine[1]

>You mean, like a turbine?

I think he means like a Wankel engine:

>This only occurs for 'hidden' networks.

Incorrect, this occurs for all networks! I've had some fun with Wifi Pineapples before.

I format the card after about a workweek of riding, (roughly 1 hour a day. My 16 GB card will hold about 6 hours in 720p @ 30 FPS)

> Also, the wider field of view on the GoPro without built-in stabilization works better for skiing than built-in stabilization that can sometimes fail to keep up.

The AS15 has the option to use image stabilization at a 120 fov or without it at 170. The only real negative of the Sony (except for maybe available mounts) is the image caption mode is limited to 1920x1080 images.

>GoPro factor is the only one you can chest mount safely, and the only one you can helmet mount in the middle of a helmet.

I agree on the chest mount, but the helmet? Why wouldn't I be able to put my AS15 on my helmet with the provided stickymount? I prefer long and thin on my helmet...

I actually prefer the AS15's colours compared to the GoPro White (which is closest in pricing), and the Sony cost me €100,- less. (€150 / €250)

> the daily commute (for insurance).

I do the same on my bike, not a gopro but a Sony AS15 though.

Is it actually common to limit users on cpu/memory use this way? I'd expect the limitations to simply be based on the resources made available to your processes...

North Europe would surely by Norway,Sweden,Finland or even Denmark.

Central Europe would be Poland..

There are many stretches of road in the Netherlands which are not fitted with lighing at all, mostly sparsly inhabited parts of the country. I've ridden a motorcycle with a less than powerfull headlight on those roads, would've loved this to exist then!

I'm curious now I've seen the word 'breaks' used quite often in car related topics (instead of brakes), is that a type-o/error or is it a local thing? It was also used in a (non quoting) reply...

That's what I was trying to say with 'sounds quite logical'

also usenet providers might be in the scope of BREIN[$] now..
