I take BART into work and sometimes got a ride home, and sometimes I'd forget to pick up my car. So , I realised that location based alarms were a technically feasable feature using GPS units or the newer cellphones that were location aware - so you'd be able to setup reminders to pick up your car when the bay bridge was crossed, or pick up milk when you entered a supermarket.

Back then there was no iPhone and getting the location info on most phones was just too much trouble so I abandoned the idea after a couple of weeks poking around.

$130 for 2TB external isn't cheap?

I heard drives are going up in price but they still look pretty cheap to me.

I have a reputation for being hard on candidates, and I do like to push them way out of their comfort zone, I like to use red ink on their resumes when I think a skill they claim is unjustified.

But, I'm more interested in how they attempt to do things rather than whether they really solve the problem. Some people crank out code instantly which has bugs, others just freeze up and I have to go elsewhere, but it's all part of judging the person.

Also, I feel the need to point out that this is a public charter school in Oakland, I don't pay any fees to send them there, but positions are limited. Most Waldorf schools are private. Truthfully I wasn't looking for specifically for a Waldorf school, we were just looking around for schools that were most likely to provide a good education.

They're pretty tech Savvy (Skye is even e-famous for playing Eve Online) but we felt that the school environment worked well for them. They're learning knitting as part of the hand skills but it's not just picking up some needles and yarn, they started out making their own yarn and needles - it's like those crazy hacker types who want to build their own computer and operating system :)

A lot of the player anger was driven by the fact that this arrived as part of an 'expansion' that managed to take away popular features and forced players to use the Walking In Stations interface even though said interface was incredibly resource intensive and melted GPU's. Also, they screwed up several months previously when at the last minute they dropped support for older CPU's because the library that simulated clothes and hair needed SSE3 extensions. The deployment of the new avatar technology has just been a mess and actual 'flying in space' features have been left unmaintained at the expense.

It should also be pointed out you didn't need to spend real money for microtransactions, you could buy PLEX from other players (who wanted to convert real money into game money) and then, this being Eve, you could troll other players by flying around with MT items that cost more than a capital ship.

I did some consulting for Apple, but never met Steve.

I have to say, that he affected my life more profoundly than any other person I never met.

RIP Steve.

Many years ago, both the Americans and the Soviets were discovering the difficulty of writing in space. A few civilian Americans developed the Space pen. Called the AG7, the ballpoint is made from tungsten carbide and is precisely fitted in order to avoid leaks. A sliding float separates the ink from the pressurized gas. The thixotropic ink in the hermetically sealed and pressurized reservoir is claimed to write for three times longer than a standard ballpoint pen. The pen can write at altitudes up to 12,500 feet (3810 m). The ink is forced out by compressed nitrogen at a pressure of nearly 35 psi (240 kPa). Operating temperatures range from 30 to 250 F (35 to 120 C). The pen has an estimated shelf life of 100 years. They are very, very expensive, as you might expect.

The Russians used a pencil.

Magnets? Incantations? Sand?

Dude. You know what a splitting maul is? It's a combination sledge/axe that splits logs.

1) Place drive on log

2) Apply high velocity force vectored through the head of said splitting maul in a 180 degree path.

3) Pick up halves and repeat step 2 if desired.

4) Drop quarters off the end of the dock into LI Sound.

Why get all complicated?

Both these movies came out when I was working on my Thesis, which was about the impact hazard, so being something of an expert on the subject I knew I had to see these movies, and I knew I'd probably get annoyed by broken physics in both of them.

Paradoxically however, I loved Armageddon way more than Deep Impact. Armageddon just threw out any notion of reality right at the start and instead distracted me with stupid stunts and amusing one liners. Deep Impact kept trying to get things right, and kept just missing and had 1/3 of a good story which left me bored and uninterested.
(Deep Impact's worst sin was having the comet perform a 90degree turn just before impact, but you needed to be an astrphysicist paying a lot of attention to notice) .

Getting physics wrong is a lesser sin than crossing your own internal story consistency TBH, you can excuse writers for not knowing physics, but if they setup a rule in one scene and then break it in another then that's entirely their own mistake.

Um, how do you prepare the dog food? Do you try and disguise the taste, or just add water and savor the "meaty gravy?"

I'm used to preparing for serious winter storms. (Fairfield Co, CT.) It's weird to be preparing for one when it's warm, and a hell of a lot easier.

Twinkies do not have a shelf life, they have a half-life.

Just can't seem to get away.
