I wonder if this is a case of what Iain M. Banks called the Outside Context Problem. Sometimes you meet a situation so far out of your comprehension of the world you have no reasonable response to it.

It's quite easy as an outside observer to see what to do, but as someone in the situation it's horribly overwhelming.

Is he wearing Teflon shoes?

No, I just like them. It's about the only channel I subscribe to that doesn't have 100 billion views and is gets posted here already.

I found them via this: http://videosift.com/video/Star-Wars-Throne-Room-Without-Music

It's some of the same guys doing the music I think.

It's extremely hard to explain how happy this video makes me, or how many times I've watched it.

The Father-Ted shout of "Flo-rida" in the background get's me every time.

Yeah... but it tickled me, and I couldn't wait another 9 months.

At the risk of starting the usual cyclist vs. motorist discussion (as if people are never both):

Risky cycling rarely to blame for bike accidents, study finds (http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2009/dec/15/cycling-bike-accidents-study)

The study, carried out for the Department for Transport, found...

Wearing dark clothing at night was seen as a potential cause in about 2.5% of cases, and failure to use lights was mentioned 2% of the time.

...police found the driver solely responsible in about 60%-75% of all cases...

...80% of casualties happened during daylight hours.

So the product looks interesting (I'd like to get some), but putting the focus on the visibility choices of the cyclist probably doesn't make too much sense from a statistical point of view.

You can be flashing like a christmas tree, but if a driver isn't looking in the right direction, or you cycle under a bus, it won't really help.

What it does do is position your company as trying to help, while also re-inforcing the idea that your customers are not to blame.

The tiger doesn't care if you believe in him, or even if you manage to convince me he isn't there; he'll still eat us both.

Hey ChoasEngine, yep, you're right on the money. In a normal vector space, the dimensionality is pretty much defined by how many perpendicular (or orthogonal) lines you can have. So to get 7, you'd need a 7 dimensional space.

You can do it other ways, but the most common way of expressing things in a vector space is as multiples of the "standard basis", which is a bunch of lines all perpendicular to each other and one "thing" long, as you describe.

Mathematically speaking, there's nothing particularly interesting about 2, 3 or 7 dimensions, although you'd have a real hard time drawing lines in a 7 dimensional space on a 2 dimensional board.

Incidentally, a hypercube wouldn't cut it as it's only 4 dimensions. Maybe a wonder-mega-super-hypercube?

Ok, I sat through the mostly flat increase in funding (against a backdrop of exponential inflation, meaning a real world decrease in funding) and thought, is this going somewhere?

Then I thought... ok, how many more comedy scare tactics are they going to use.

Then... then I got to 'Floride is the main ingredient in sarin nerve gas'. Yeah. I'm done.

You know what else is in Sarin gas? Carbon! We must cleanse our bodies of carbon, to protect our precious bodily fluids!
