The problem wasn't on the voting machines with the "paltry" amount of memory:

There is nothing wrong with a simple dedicated system that is based on proven hardware. Most of the computers in use today have even less than 1MiB at their disposal. It is a fallacy of thought that you have to have an extensive operating system with virtual memory and other elaborate support systems to accomplish a simple task.

I think GP was referring to gutless European econoboxes.

It also causes plastic fuel tanks to expand causing all sorts of issues remounting them after tinkering inside.

NASA should automate their operations so that it requires less manpower to manage these instruments.

The GP is talking about Wacom's support for detecting the tilt angle (and other parameters) of the pen on their more sophisticated tablets. This isn't done with accelerometers but through extra signal processing in the sensor array which permits a battery-less pen. Wacom has all the relevant patents on this. They just don't want competition for Cintiq.

No longer Agilent anymore since the life sciences division is the big money maker and they spun out the true HP T&M group with the stupid name of Keysight. I dream of HP going bankrupt soon and Keysight buying back their rightful name at auction for a pittance.

H1B jobs are all publicly disclosed. You can search for them and see what areas of expertise "can't" be fulfilled by domestic workers.

Memorial day pricing, but gas here is $3.80 to $3.90 and diesel is $3.70. Sometimes it is cheaper.

That's pretty hypocritical considering how much hardcore porn is indexed by Google image search.

DDT isn't banned around the world and it is still widely used to fumigate villages on a limited scale.

Who the hell writes up slides with Comic Sans as the font.

They don't always go away. One troll amazingly sat on the rec.bicycles.* groups for years and hastened their decline with his ceaseless vitriol.

This is pointless since patents are administered by federal law. Any troll wanting to extort money is going to sue in an out of state venue (preferably Texas), immediately stepping up to the federal courts.

That doesn't apply to bicycles and motorcycles because they lean and the center of mass is moved so that you don't depend on the width of the contact patch to provide added traction to prevent sliding.

How else are people going to listen to his remote satellite uplink?
