1. it is a small state, with about 1.3 million residents
2. it is a rich state, #6 on per-capita income and household income
3. there are jobs to be had, the state has a favorable economic climate
4. there's a lot to do, mountains, lakes, the ocean.
5. no sales tax, no income tax (OTOH property taxes are very high)
oh, it's not so bad.
Just October, November, December, January, February, March and part of April.
Visit your local surplus stores and buy stuff. Let's keep these places in business.
Or when traveling. If you go to Orlando, you should visit Skycraft. You can spend a long time browsing in there. And buy stuff the TSA is never gonna let you take on the plane.
ESS in Manchester NH is a good place for some odd stuff, too.
And as one other poster mentioned, there are a lot of components and other oddities to be had at hamfests, especially the bigger ones.
OOOOH. Down-modded because I slammed Apple. Must not piss off the fanbois!
News flash: Apple is more proprietary than Microsoft.
Here come more down-mods. ROFL.
More proprietary stuff from Apple, and is anyone surprised? This is bad for the consumer, but great for Apple's stockholders.
What happened to their D-shaped 3.5 mm plug they patented recently? another proprietary connector that nobody's headphones -- except Apple's -- will fit.
Don't even get me started on the patented and essentially single-source MagSafe, and the MagSafe to MagSafe 2 converters.
uggh.
30 mA will light most modern LEDs screaming bright. Or very bright, at least.
Deciding that the camera is not uploading images to the cloud based on power consumption is like deciding that water is wet by looking at clouds... I did not see any mention of ethernet packet capture in TFA. You want to see if the thing is uploading? show me some captured packets.
The argument is specious at best. It is a wireless camera, administered over an internet connection. In "power down" mode it still needs a way to be powered back on -- so it needs to keep its microprocessor and wifi radio on.
The researcher says that power down mode should reduce current by 10-100 times. Let's see. 1/10 of the 322 mA cited for 360p "video record -- no motion" would be 32 mA. I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say you cannot run a microprocessor and wifi radio at that power level. And the 1/100th? 3.2 mA? NFW.
TFA is a troll, perhaps by a shill. it is a crock of shit, and it stinks.
DECterm: the closest to a VT320 you can get on X11
I call dibs on the ones on the moon.
There's three of them up there, just waiting to be salvaged.
that's not what TFA said. Follow the link and read before you comment.
It's like what Margaret Thatcher said:
“The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money.”
My social security retirement benefit at 65 years old is going to be over $32,000 a year.
You try to pay me $10,000 for my social security benefits I've been paying into for over 30 years and I'll be coming for you with pitchfork, torch, and 12-gauge.
Let's print money with a perpetual motion machine!
The problem with this idea is the basic fact that the government has no money of its own. All the money the government gets comes from levies on the taxpayers. That's taxes.
The best indication of how naive this idea is comes right off their own page: http://www.basicincomeaction.o... -- Let's increase the money supply! If we print more, then we can give away more! Never mind that printing more money devalues the money that has already been printed. A death spiral.
To quote our friends from Monty Python: "what a stupid concept."
if your first criteria is what the lady looks like, then maybe you have some issues.
I always wanted to know if she was rich. What's wrong with this guy?
Me too. In 1970. I brought a box to school, all taped closed, with a switch and a blinking light. 2nd grade. Teacher asked me "what's that?". I answered "It's a bomb."
They called my mom. "XXX says he has a bomb. Does he really have a bomb?". "No, he has a vivid imagination." That was the end of it.
This really happened.
