Most years I'm busy New Years Eve making chili for the Margarita and Chili-Fest on New Years Day. Unfortunately a bit under the weather this year so that's been delayed.

If they make an artificial boy lifelike enough they might get some orders from the Vatican.

Back around 1976 I was working in a group that used Intel 4004 processors and 1702A EPROM. They found they could get more program/erase cycles out of a 1702A if they periodically baked them in an oven.

I use ROT-256, much easier to read.

Honestly I think the ultimate solution is 2 or 4 independent brushless wheel motors. Eliminate most of the drive train components.

That's what I would think. And apparently if you have half a million to spare you will be able to get that configuration soon:

Why does it have a 5 speed manual transmission? I thought that one of the advantages of electric motors was the low-end torque, eliminating the need for gear shifting.

Pascal's retarded cousin. The bane of my life but unfortunately it's normally the only language available for micro-controllers.

Unfortunately some GPS vendors don't get it right. I was testing conformance of a IT530 from FastRaxGPS which uses the Mediatek MT3339 receiver.

It put out the sequence 23:59:59, 23:59:59, 00:00:00 repeating second 59 instead of using second 60.

I remember going over to Atari in 1979 or 1980 so we could see how they made membrane switch panels. At that time they were made pf 3 pieces of mylar sandwiched together. The center had holes and the two outer layers had silver plated pads for the switch contacts.

A Hoovering woman might be more useful.

OPB (Oregon Public Broadcasting) had video for the test on their TV station but no audio. Here's what they said on their Facebook page: "As the hub of the emergency broadcast system for the region, OPB is responsible for sending signals out to all other regional broadcasters. We received the test signal as planned, but a software problem prevented the signal from being sent out to the statewide network of broadcasters."

Is the only one on the list that tried to screw me. After a year of them trying to get me to pay for the same airline tickets twice I finally had to get a lawyer after them.

That's not an inventory tax (there isn't one, see ORS 307.400) but business personal property tax. I think that all of the 4 states I've done business in have that tax.

Good thing I'm still on version 1.02, my one-time alarm yesterday morning worked fine.

I saw a presentation given by the president of ARIN recently on the Research Channel. He predicted that IPV6 and IPV4 will run in parallel for about a decade, so I don't see corporations giving up their IPV4 address space anytime soon.
