f1 teams are mainly composed of two or more partners. general structure is "real race guys" and "money guys" ie automotive brands you know. havind said this if you look at those brands you can pretty much see all the related products released. for example, renault has produced f1-inspired megane hatchback body called R27 or something like that. mclaren-mercedes slr 722 is an "everyday car" that is most-closer to an f1 car. latest mclaren is also another example.

jetd | 12 years ago | on: Why you should not pirate Google’s geo APIs

I have one comment and one question.

Q: Are OSM/Nominatim good for most countries now? When I tried it was very good to good enough for developed countries like US or UK but for others clearly not.

C: I really dont get Google mindset. They sell geoservices. OK. How much money that would bring 1mil, 10mil or 100mil in over 20bil company. What is the logic? Creating barriers? I dont know.

This movie is like Nap. Dynamite. People either love it or hate it. It seems rather dull till last part. When you see the last part man what an ending... There should have been a sequel, btw. However, EotS is completely different. Former is about individuals with no political motives at all. Latter is all political.

I think topics are mixed up in this thread and more strangely nobody is mentioning it!

1. (120)fps you refer is about the graphic card not the monitor. 2. (120)hz is refresh rate of an LCD is completely different than CRT. BTW, I never heard of 120hz high-res monitor. Mitsubishi or NEC maybe. could you give the brand and model? 3. monitor input lag will _always_be there with LCDs. there is no 120hz or higher LCD panels. they do real-time interpolation with 60hz panels. and that's not natural if you look closely. maybe just maybe OLED will improve response time or input lag as you refer.
