Note, too: you completely ignored my procedural point. Another "conspiracy" cop-out. *sigh*

Because the Iranians have always been so honest and stuff.

I mean, I stipulated in the JE that I doubt I'll actually see it. Why would I pay someone to waste ~2hrs of my life?

Oh, I already have, baby.

"'A liar AND a thief'? There may be an uncertainty principle at work here," said Heisenberg.

We really have to put some newspaper under you, for moments when you overflow like this. To drop the current egregious example, the Iran deal Congressional shortcutting, and taking the sell-out straight to the Untied Nations is not even "kinda" conservative. In a rational time (and this sure as balls ain't) this particular stunt would be more impeachy than simply peachy.

You've got to understand: it's unlikely I'll watch this. The real pleasure is watching the usual suspects melt down.

Is that like when you try to typecast #OccupyResoluteDesk to "conservative", or do you have some other meaning in mind?

Shorter d_r: "It is better to whinge on about peripheral matters than face the reality that I have supported abject cretins."

Of course the best part of all this is that to keep with the bazillion different cable channels out there, and the limited (125 or so) RF channels that they also have to share with cable modems, they try to cram as many sub-channels on the same RF channel as possible, at least 10 or so for SD channels, re-compressing them to lower quality. Meanwhile, my antenna gets a full-quality HD signal that maybe only has to share with one or two SD channels. (FWIW, I think cable QAM gives twice the bit rate per channel as antenna ATSC, but still.)

Actually, more batteries is probably more important than better batteries. You can only make so many cars per year until you exceed battery manufacture quantity. Hence the battery factory that Tesla is building.

Sounds good to me. They certainly enjoy laughing at Americans for not having any kind of decent passenger rail service. If theirs is so much better, then they should use it or shut up.

Some of those systems will crash if you do something like plug a tone generator in to locate a wire.

I've configured this sort of system with pfsense, using old PC's or preferably an embedded system, like alix. Stay away from cheap stuff from the big vendors, it's junk. Stick with the Linux/BSD based stuff.

I'm pretty sure most of those DC-DC converters (the modern efficient ones) work by converting to high-frequency AC internally, running it through a transformer (higher frequency = smaller transformer), then back to DC.
