Codes should need tied to the unit serial number. When RS buys there inventory with the NetFlix deal, the website should require the device model/serial number pair to match the devices purchased by RS to be validated.

Intel in Oregon was slammed in the Oregonian, the local metro paper for hurting the schools due to the tax break they negotiated to build D1X there and hire 900 new employees. Their arguement was Intel was getting a break that the schools needed so the cost to the community was higher to pay for the taxes Intel was not paying.

This is a Glass half empty arguement. It's a big glass, a multi Billion project.. that without the break would have located elsewhere. Think of the children.

The tax structure in many locations is designed to keep large business out.

Most people do not realise Intel is taxed on not only income, but property. Employees pay income tax. Property includes buildings and the manufacturing equipment inside the buildings. A grocery store has property of the building, and a few shelves and freezer cases. Intel has property of wafer manufacturing tools valued as several million each. Intel needed the tax break to even consider building in a location where their equipment is subject to Property Tax. A wise move by some is no tax breaks to the rich, make them pay their full fair share.

As a consequence of the tax, any tool that is of marginal use or obsoleted is immediately packed up and shipped off. Think of the tax as storage facility monthly fees on steroids on your property. If you are not using it, get rid of it.

Oregon did need to negotiate to attract a large manufature to the area. Too bad the local socialist newspaper only sees the burden of not getting the entire full glass.

Actually the panel can be removed, and engraved in the machine. Remember to not watch the engraving with the covers removed so you don't engrave your vision. The covers do block the IR of the CO2 laser.

A laser printer does a much nicer job. Look for Laser Engraving services in your area.

A simple EMO button could work wonders. Power down the fuel, inverter, and computer would kill the accelleration and fail safe. Manual steering and brakes still function to maintain control.

If you want one cheap and don't want to wait for delivery for your Sony, simply check your area thrift stores. They are almost as common as Guitar Hero Guitars, Microphones, and Wii Balance Boards.

FYI, the Rock Band/Guitar Hero microphones show up on a PC as a decent Logitech USB Microphone. Not a bad mic for under $5.

I am behind one, on DSL. I did not bypass it, but have admin privilages on the router section. I still use a consumer router after it because I don't know how effective it is. I could have used a simple switch to add more physical ports as the modem only has one LAN port. The DSL modem provides DHCP in the 192.168.0 range and my rounter is 192.168.0.2 to use the gateway in the modem.

I did forward a port used by my PAP2T-NA so I can receive phone calls. Other than that, I left the firewall intact in both routers. I did turn off remote admin of the router and UPNP. I presume the ISP still has admin privelages of the modem section to set QOS on their end.

If you have a home router, is it protected if it is behind the router built into many DSL or Cable modems? Your ISP may be protecting your firewall router by placing it behind another firewall router in your modem.

A quick test to see if this may apply to you. view your router's status page and look at the IP address of the WAN connection. If the WAN connection is a 196.168.x.x number then your modem has a router too. Has anyone pen tested your modem router?

You lost me at the slip on synchronous motors. They may lag in phase, but not speed. Once 180 out they no longer function as a motor. The drive electronics does drive them in a torque mode, not PLL speed locked mode. They are traction motors in cars. Drive electronics does vary the frequency to match the wheel speed to maintain commutation. Phase angle and current are regulated to provide torque in either direction as needed. Electrical phase is kept in a narrow range of the armature magnet to operate it as a traction motor.

I;ll feed this offtopic thread with the answer to the question. The author assumes a hard clocked stepper motor type drive. This is the fault of the question. The answer is the motor is not clocked for speed control,but intead is driven as a Traction motor, where speed is largely ignored, and current is regulated to control torque. With all wheels on the ground, they all turn close to the same speed. Applying equal torque to acellerate positive or negative is simply a matter of regulating current. Controlling current can be handled by the accellerator or cruise control. I anticipate the next question.. AC motor.. Google Communtation. Any PC cooling fan of DC brushless design has this. They are not dependant on a fixed speed, but a fixed torque. They don't massivly torque up if slightly slowed.

Is this a case of default password, instead of a "Linux" vunerability?

This is called Overt Intelligence. Covert is spying on the hidden. Overt is gathering public info.

Drunks with impaired judgement will still get caught. Sober night shift workers can avoid unnessary delays.

The box looks like it is based on the Intel Next Unit of Computing, but at a much lower price point. A bare "kit" of an NUC without a drive is more expensive. It should be able to run Linux after the Chrome bootloader issue is addressed.

I think if I read the original news articles correctly, you are spot on. NSA did not compromise Angry Birds. They however did spy on the marketing info the program 3rd party advertising returned. This 3rd party info was intercepted. Block all advertising and this may have been a non issue.

Free app.. Supported by 3rd party adverts .. Advert demographics information scrapped on the way back through governemtnt internet checkpoints.
