I think this is the only place where men brag about how short theirs is... ;)

Not even "math" so much as arithmetic. Not that it isn't a rational approach, minus said flaws in the source data.

Well, to argue semantics if we learned how to regrow a lost arm, we'd have "reversed" amputation even though we can never restore all the lost opportunities to scratch one's ass.

But your general point that people should not expect the alzheimer's patient to necessarily start to remember everything they have forgotten is well taken.

I'd give the word choice a 'B' in that they could have done better but reasonably intelligent people will understand what is meant.

Plus, decent sized onboard flash. Bought one of these for home (radios off, just wanted a router) and never looked back. Had work buy another and a bunch of USB serials on a USB hub as a console server, both running OpenWRT. Rock solid.

Wow, to get that upset about someone else's appearence and habits you must have deep psychological problems. Maybe you should be the one seeking therapy, to realize the world isn't a fashion show or beauty contest put on for your own aesthetic entertainment. Your rant makes me want to go back to wearing white socks and sandles just to piss people like you off.

Oh come on, you think your little niche is the whole world? A modern day "real programmer" wouldn't waste any time on a shitty 8bit processor.

I did my time in the 8bit 6502 days. I loved them. Those days are gone.

If you're not coding 64bit then you are stuck in the past. Tell yourself anything you want, but if you are still coding on a 8bit processor then you are horribly obsolete.

Now there's something I haven't heard about in a LONG time...

Really the wristwatch is a silly example; there are better ways to harvest energy on a wristwatch than RF leaching. Stationary objects that can't rely on kinetic energy harvesting could utilize this technology, though.

Anyway, they did test for the interference potential of this, and it was indeed very little at the rates/distances acheived.

I think they should see how much they could *increase* the effect of the reflection on WiFi signals. Then they could look to market passive devices that, instead of being purposed for the "internet of things", are purposed to work in cooperation with MIMO/spatial multiplexing to dynamically adapt the RF environment to increase the overall bandwidth of WiFi devices, allowing an access point to turn them on and off until it gets just the right reflections. Then license that to WiFi vendors to sell them lithographed by the thousands into wallpaper or just thrown helter skepter on top of drop ceiling tiles.

That's pretty much it. Or they think the $1000 is buying them some special features like running quieter.

The prices in this market are downright crazy, probably because it's a quasi-medical application. Yes there are some that offer things like UV sterilizers and engineer the air flow such that it goes through the UV sterilizer at a rate that actually allows it to work, but even the ones with features that actually work are completely overpriced, and that doesn't change as long as it's a small percentage of desperate people that need it. It's no surprise to me that once the need for the product becomes mainstream, gouging the hell out of the consumer gets harder, and no it has nothing to do with mass production, just exploitation of the sick.

While there are almost definitely some sort of lesser consequences than those who smoke during pregnancy, what will happen to them is they will be wrongfully blamed for all society's perinatal ills for the next month or so due to the fact that journalists cannot choose their language carefully.

This suggestion would probably be the least work to set up and then tear down. Assuming the existing hardware is running a supported platform, it's just packages and a small amount of configuration and can run in an unprivileged account. When you get towards the end of the unplug date, start disabling new jobs from tasks with long-running jobs so you don't leave too many unfinished ones. And yes the WCG does have tasks that need storage, not just CPU.

...If they are not allergic to dust mites like some tens of percent of people, or if they spend even more energy heating their water to 140F, or buy a bunch of chemicals to kill them with cold water, they can, Oh, and then there is the allergy to pollen from the clothes line some other tens of percent of people have.

As to the OP, there is only a small sliver of people who are perceptive enough to realize their impact on the environment, but not perceptive enough to realize that it does not do much good to cut their own emissions for the most part because the vast majority of people will not. There are productive things to do that help push technology forward, like buying into advanced auto technology or alt energy systems if you can. The rest of the stuff just makes energy cheaper for the glutton across the street, so he can have more kids raised without your environmental values.

HTML5 is enough of a language that it is supplanting Flash and Java, and I think this is what they are referring to. Declarative animation can get you a long way and if all you are using ECMA for is to fill in a few gaps you can arguably classify it as a language for the purposes of this survey.

To be fair their argument is that the environmental life cycle and economics of spinning reserves/baseline for backup generation, or of mass storage, needed to be taken into account. Not that that makes it any less of a peanut-gallery "rebuttal."

I for one, in that situation, would want to see the bears from a distance. :-)
