Of course it never rusts. Rust is the formation of Iron Oxide. That last word is key, "oxide". Quality stainless steel (as with aluminium and titanium) do not rust, but they most definitely do oxidise, they are just more resistant to it than iron.

See the key part of stainless is that the alloys form a protective coating on it which prevents oxidation. When scratched the coating slowly reforms. However there are many cases where this coating can be continuously damaged and oxidation will occur. It doesn't look like "rust" but it definitely is the same mechanism. Tightening stainless on stainless is a classic case which is also why stainless bolts are very sensitive to galling if you don't use a protective grease when you put them together.

There's no such thing as "crap" stainless steel, and expensive does not automatically mean "good" either. Stainless steel comes in many forms and grades which have different purposes and are used for different things. "Austentitic stainless sucks" is 100% false for many applications, but 100% for others. Your pot is likely 304SS, most good pots are. It's far from the most expensive stainless steel but it's great for cooking applications.

Best place I have seen Braille is on the warning outside the door to a squash-court. Ironically it was a legal disclaimer and a note about wearing safety glasses while playing.

I live in Brisbane with several small inhabited Islands off the cost. It costs Australia Post about $200 to do delivery / collection to the island in transit fees for the barge, not to mention that it puts the truck out of order while it sits on the boat.

I can definitely see a business case for this. A simple small letter does not need a truck to come pick it up. Weekly mail deliveries can be done more frequently and the large stuff can be reserved for a truck when need be.

Aside from the technical limitations already mentioned there's a physical limitation too. Go and have a look at the prop span of a helicopter and look at injuries too.

For an autonomous system I like my blades at high speed and low momentum. Having flown my quad into myself it was no fun, but nothing a few bandaids couldn't fix. On the other hand the last injury I heard using a helicopter involved near complete decapitation. It's a whole world more dangerous having a large prop span.

Also there's the number of moving parts issue. A quad has 4 motors. Motors are very reliable with the only thing that can really fail being a set of bearings (which don't involve falling out of the sky) or electronics failure (which is common to both types aircraft). A helicopter on the other hand has swashplates to tilt blades as the rotor spins, and they are not only expensive, but on a small scale not the most reliable from what I can gather. The only person I know with an RC helicopter of any size says he services his every few months, quite a bit more than the never I do to mine (save for checking the various bolts are tight).

It only uses 400MB of RAM. I think you need a new computer.

I can with the authority of someone who tries, jumps between and uses a LOT of apps say that the one thing has nothing to do with the other.

Crap apps are always crap regardless of language and portability.
Good apps are always good regardless of language and portability.

Specific function apps coded for specific hardware can be good or crap, but force you down a particular language.

It doesn't which leads me to ask why they would collect the inadmissible one in the first place.

Also your post fails Occams Razor but sure let's just keep on thinking that oil companies spend time and effort trawling through obscure sites looking for references and then look up users they can pay to post comments. Because what happens on Slashdot as far as the resources industry is concern really makes a reputable difference... / sarcasm.

Yes but they don't need "fixing" they simply need "deleting".

A guy with a low UID is a paid troll for oil companies on slashdot which feature articles related to oil once in a blue moon, and you came to this conclusion because he thinks the kickstarter is crap?

How about asking yourself if he's right or now. The premise of the kickstarter is to avoid going to an independent lab. Then what? Without going to an independent lab you have evidence that could be tainted, isn't admissible in court, and likely has problems to begin with (many oils in a common region share very common traits).

Have you ever heard of the saying "Just enough information to be dangerous?" That's what this is and if the person isn't incredibly careful could very quickly lead to being in legal hot water for slander and whatnot.

Indeed. Don't call an ambulance. Instead take your emotionally compromised self and jump in the drivers seat of 2T of metal, and make sure you get to the emergency room as quickly as possible.

Actually it is as easy as calling an ambulance. Or do you actually not care about the life of the person you are trying to get to the emergency room, or for that matter the lives of other people on the road?

I for one would like to thank this service with my life.

Due to this woman not being able to start her car there was one less highly emotionally compromised driver on the road. Because we all know when there's a medical emergency we will do whatever we can to follow all laws including speeding, overtaking, stopping at lights etc.

It's almost like there needs to be a service for getting people to an emergency centre quickly which can legally do the above things....

I've been doing this for years for all sorts of passwords. But I take it one step further just write it on things already in your wallet. I write my pin on my bank card and the bank card is in my wallet and I keep my wallet in my back pocket so it's always with me. Now no one can get at my money or password.

I see this as a positive thing if you don't wish to get hit on the head multiple times.

I find this interesting. Both major governments have now supported internet filtering or some invasive monitoring in the past. Recently we've had a government decide to go and join the fight in a war we have nothing to do with because ... well America is doing it. Terrorist threats have come immediately after the announcement and then I was absolutely gob smacked to see our prime-minister (probably the current joke of the world) quote word for word the previous joke of the world (Bush) and say the threats are not because of our actions but because "they hate our freedoms".

Now G20 is nearly upon us and our local city is building giant walls around airports, closing down half the city, and welding bins at the train station shut (no joke) because they pose a threat as a potential place to stash a bomb.

And how do our people react?
A statistically significant jump in the prime minister's approval rating

People get the government they deserve. Hey Canada, you guys still taking Aussies immigrants? I gotta get out of here. Because ... you know, ... terrorists and stuff.

I knew a power woman who always flaunted the same numbers as she was working up the ranks. When she started making a real headway in her career she bailed out and is now at home popping out and looking after an endless stream of babies while her husband has overtaken her in salary and career.

Is it because women want to take this path?
Is it because men can't take this path? (What's the level of maternity support men get in a typically working contract?)

Who knows, but in the principles of Root Cause Analysis you can't start at the end and work backwards in a linear way. You need to explore all possibilities on the way.
