I didn't check your link. I just wanted to let you know that when I was a kid, I had a crystal radio that produced sound in the earphone solely off the energy captured in the RF received. It had no batteries or external power source.
Can't think of much. Maybe this:
What has eight legs and a fish?
A Spider!
... How about this.
Moe: What is big and hairy and has eight legs?
Joe: I don't know, what?
Moe: I don't know either, but it's on your shoulder and it has a fish!
Note to self: Don't quit day job.
Your point would be better taken if you (and I mean the generic you, not you specifically) did not risk others lives by the actions that you take. I'd be perfectly happy to let you do whatever you wish in your vehicle but when a mistake on your part can kill me, then I'm happy to have the government interfere with your ability to do so.
And woe betide any zombies who eat his brain!
Where are the APPLICATIONS ??????????????????????
Here's one: http://entertainment.slashdot....
I suppose this only counts if you count Pixar as professionals.
Putting e10 in a Stihl 2 stroke and pulling the cord voids the warranty.
Bullshit.
Someone pointed that one out to me when I started working on a framework to manage timers, digital I/O and so on on the Arduino platform. Apparently Joel feels that abstractions are not useful because they cannot be perfect. He points out that stream sockets hide the errors in network transport by 'guaranteeing' packet delivery order and retransmiting dropped packets but cannot mask the problem when the cable is pulled. So what? If someone needs to read this to understand that the network is not going to work when the cable is disconnected, they're probably in the wrong business.
Golf is dying because it's boring and pointless.
As an avid fisherman I hope to see the popularity of golf grow.
Come on, I refuse to believe that these entities are actively working to put more people in prison for no good reason.
I think it's more likely that private prisons advocate for more prison time, etc. That would be the American thing to do
Are you suggesting that money is not a good reason?
Prison operation is now private and they want to grow the business.
... Does anyone know how good their test coverage is?
Not obvious to me if by "their" you mean OpenSSL or OpenBSD (*) but it seems to me the answer is "not sufficient." I'm sure it will be enhanced to cover Heartbleed.
(*) OpenSSL, OpenBSD
What annoys me is that this is happening on a weeknight. Seriously??? Can't anyone think this sort of thing through???
Very poor planning IMO. Whereas we had temps in the 80s a couple days ago it is presently 27F when the eclipse seems to be at totality. Oh well, at least I got to see it and capture some crude images before the clouds moved back in.
There are faster, cheaper boards than the Pi.
Can you suggest any? My google-fu is not up to the task...
Why not Hydrogen? Must utility generators are hydrogen cooled due to hydrogen's low viscosity and high thermal conductivity.
That said most apps work if you say No. I wouldn't call it an unnecessary request to ask for permission.
On Android you cannot install the app if you say no. The question is asked during installation or update.
AFAIK I have Comcast and Netflix. Most of the time when I watch Netflix it wavers between 280SD and 480SD. On a good day I get 720HD. On a bad day - which is all too frequent - I get 240SD. Anything from 280SD and below looks like crap on a modern HDTV.
And yet, at the same time I can run a bandwidth test which shows I get great bandwidth (speedtest.net, local test server.)
I suppose the bottleneck could be beyond the portion of the network between my home and the local speedtest.net server. Or Comcast is throttling Netflix. Either way, Comcast has a vested interest in not solving the problem.
