Oops, ignore this!

I wasn't aware of the explanation on the website while posting my first comment. The first part of my second comment covers that. The second part was to explain what I meant with "vertical forces applied to the ballcamera".
Sorry for the confusion.
Neat concept though, I'd like a bunch of these to create "panorama maps".

In reply to this comment by rychan:
There's no freely movable parts inside the camera. The website makes it pretty clear:
"Our camera contains an accelerometer which we use to measure launch acceleration. Integration lets us predict rise time to the highest point, where we trigger the exposure."

So while your original post implies that it somehow detects the top of the trajectory as it happens, in fact the camera measures launch acceleration to predict the length of time until the top of the trajectory.

Actually, no. The acceleration on the ball is roughly constant through the entire trajectory. So it's somewhat tricky to estimate when you're at the top of the parabola.

They seem to use an accelerometer to predict the time of max height as seen on
their website.
I wasn't referring to the acceleration rather to the forces, being applied while thrown, to a possible freely movable object inside of the camera, using the same principle as the seatbelt mechanism.
My train of thought leaves in a couple of minutes.

I had not noticed the traffic lights, I will assume that is what is on the poles, as the cowering driver would be the ones in front not making a move to merge after so many large gaps. But obviously now they wouldnt do that if a street light was saying not to go.

People who cause accidents are many types of people, one of them I know is the type that do not feel comfortable in what they are doing and are unsure of how to properly act on the road, I.E new drivers, old drivers, female drivers,male drivers and clown cars.

You can either fuck up a driving situation by being too much of an aggressive cock or you can fuck it up by being a little cowering bitch.
In this video we see both.


Which driver is cowering?

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

Give it a go. A license is still pretty cheap. It's one of those kind of games that's hard to describe - and it looks a bit lame through videos and whatnot - but play it for a solid hour (through your first day/night cycle) and you'll either be into it or not.

I've never tried Minecraft at all. Maybe I should.

Sorry about that pic, just trollin' from that QI debate we had, ignore me.

Actually, no, I don't think so. He is pretty open about the rassles he gets into with censors and with CBS. It is what makes his monologues so incredible -- he lets us see what goes on behind the scenes.

Of course, I may be wrong, but I don't think so. He is consistent is his depictions of his struggles.

In reply to this comment by rychan:
I'm guessing the censor is a fictional construct in this monologue.
