Back when the 486dx4 was out, I'd tune my FM radio to ~100mHz
Wow. You have a radio that tunes that low? What signals did you hear? Nyquist tells us that the highest frequency you could modulate on that would be 50 mHz, well below the range of human hearing.
Who said I was human?
In High School, we had a program we would run on the IBM 1620 (this was in ancient history...) that would play a song on a transistor radio placed on the console. Somebody figured out what instructions to run to create different frequencies.
We used to just leave the radio there even when not running that program.
"That's a loop!"
"Whoa! A "FORMAT" statement!"
One can easily see how A leads to B.
Back when the 486dx4 was out, I'd tune my FM radio to ~100mHz and listen to the weird whirs and buzzes that occurred during disk access or mouse movement. Many years later, during a security class of all things, when I suggested using this as a method to leak information out of a secure room, the speaker said using radio transmission to leak information was much too sophisticated to be a viable attack for anything but the government and military.
Web Audio API actually is an interesting feature.
See some of it in action: http://mohayonao.github.io/timbre.js/
This is the feature I've been waiting for since I like to write games and port them to HTML5. I have an audio-only game that only worked in Chrome until today because I had the audacity to require left/right panning.
patton trolls be all over this and I'll be stuck down fast
"The more I see of Arabs the less I think of them. By having studied them a good deal I have found out the trouble. They are the mixture of all the bad races on earth, and they get worse from west to east, because the eastern ones have had more crosses." - Patton trolling.
It's not so much the cost of the hardware. There's almost no use for it outside it's niche so there's zero chance any publisher or larger developer will be interested in using it. Up front they should have known they were on their own developing the product, complaining that no one else wants to support it shows total cluelessness.
For the sort of swordplay I like, with medieval weapons, $100 wouldn't come near providing any sort of realism. Restricting it to lighter weapons and sports like fencing removes any chance of wider interest from the gaming public.
Based on the gameplay video here, I'm wondering why they didn't just go Kinect + nerf sword.
Frankly said, this whole thing is just stupidly blown out of proportion. Who the fuck cares that gmail or something like that is down for a couple of minutes, especially that it's quite rare that those services are down? It's not like cash registers at Walmart run on it and there's ten million bucks lost every minute it's down. Sheesh.
The interesting bit isn't that Google was down. The interesting bit is that when Google went down it took 40% of all internet traffic with it. It illustrates how big a foothold the company has on the internet as a whole.
Wouldn't work here. I'd have an almighty mess after the first 20 degree night.
Have you ever actually frozen a soda bottle? They survive just fine through many freeze-thaw cycles even while being exposed to UV. My mom used a wall of water-filled soda bottles as a way of regulating the temperature near some of her plants. They sat outside for years of winters before we got rid of them all. We also used some as ice-blocks for the cooler when picnicking - just made sure there was an air-gap for the water to expand into when freezing. I once tried filling a PET shampoo bottle with water (same plastic as soda bottles) and then freezing it to expand the plastic. I'd then top it off again so the next time it would freeze-expand bigger. The bottle got to about 150% normal size before I just gave up.
Although they [tt-rss] don't officially support it on shared hosting servers, I've had no problems with it on Dreamhost.
I tried it on a private server. My biggest problem with TT is they don't officially support much of anything. Over half my feeds were broken when I tried it. When I went to the forums, I kept finding the developer telling people it's not TT it's the RSS feed itself and that he's not going to accommodate broken RSS feeds. Yeah, he's technically correct, many RSS feeds fail miserably at conforming to the standard, but every other RSS reader out there manages to at least work. When your RSS reader doesn't officially support half of the feeds I read, it ceases to be useful (to me at least). I'm using inoreader now. Yeah, I'm not in direct control of my data, but at least all my feeds work.
I've been using The Old Reader ever since it was first announced that Google Reader was shutting down. I checked out all the options I knew about and decided to go with The Old Reader as they seemed to support my needs the best. My needs are basic; I follow a few blogs and their comments.
I signed up at the same time. While I didn't quite like the interface, it was the best I could find at the time. However I did keep looking and actually settled on inoreader just before Google Reader shut off. It's gone from good to exactly what I was looking for. My biggest concern on inoreader is there's no monitization either, so....
If their goal was to make a fresh universe, to give them room for brand-new story lines
Their goal was to cash in on the Star Trek brand name, nothing more, nothing less. And, honestly, it showed in the first movie with the "that's not a knife, THIS is a knife, err, collapsible battle axe" and giving Scotty an Ewok. I haven't yet watched the second, though I know I will eventually, it does have the Star Trek name after all.
When the Model X comes out, we will still have this same problem so now you're just buying an SUV just because (you're not taking it off road, and you're not going on roadtrips).
Very few conventional SUVs can be taken off road, unless by offroad you mean the maintained gravel road out to your favorite trail head. SUV hasn't mean off road for many years now, SUV generally means minivan-without-the-stigma.
But nobody knows what those limits are, since we've never hit them.
One could speculate that the hard theoretical limit is when it's not physically possible to shove another person into the space because every empty square cm contains some part of a person. We know the practical limit is somewhere below that number.
This is interesting, especially coming from freshmen in high school
This is the real news here. It's not "OMG access points sterilize things!!!!", it's "wow, in this age of school experiments consisting of celery in food coloring, here's a bunch of kids that did an actual experiment. Oh, and they got interesting results that require further investigation." I'm not going to move my router based on this experiment, but I sure hope someone does the follow-ups, because that is science.
They should have used a control, and put cress near a lamp bulb that gives off the same amount of heat.
Or not. Nothing in the scientific method says your first experiment has to be perfect. They did one experiment, with a control for one variable (router/no router), it showed unexpected results. So now you look at things that could explain those results (heat? VOC? EM?) and revise your experiment to prove them or rule them out. Seems to me it's not a "should have" but a "let try this next".
So basically your stance is - if you mail a letter in a sealed envelope, it's fair game, but if the letter is written in code, it's not.
I'd argue it's slightly different. An unsecured packet is more like a postcard than a sealed envelope.
OK, then, here's an example: I just sent an email to my wife. If intercepting and reading the message is as trivial as you posit it is, then feel free to do so and post the contents of said email here.
If you can't, then your point is moot.
I just sent a postcard to my sister. If intercepting a postcard is as trivial as you seem to think it is, then post the contents here.
If you can't, then your point is moot.
