Last time I checked, TiddlyWiki was the best out of three "single-file-based" I found. The other two were Lively, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lively_Kernel#Lively_Wiki and Stick Wiki (from "you'll have it on an USB stick"), http://stickwiki.sourceforge.net/
I think only Tiddly has an efficient search function, for instance.
Then if you want "serious notetaking that scales up", I fear you'll have to abandon the single-filers.
But then there are many other wikis still -search in the related "lists" on Wikipedia for instance, only avoiding the ones that didn't evolve recently...

The first Apple webcam did feature a mechanical obturator, that closed the diaphragm in a very visible way (also shutting off the LED).
That was at the time cams were external and big (even though Apple's was twice smaller than the rest).

Now, Apple's way of doing is close to the tablets way: the cam just should not even be visible, and not bother me.
And I agree with that.

I'm not paranoid about the cam light being shut; I even sincerly think anyone spending time about this is wasting a time that would better be used to think about open source and linux alternatives to Apple.

Tell me about Mint vs Ubuntu, not about minuscule cam-LED features, I'll follow you more carefully...

Well, I did try it when they were launched, 10+ years ago here in Europe.
The difference was, my ordinary VW car ran longer with higher octane, and in my actual test, over months, on the same average daily commutes, things was about equilibrate: go refill less often but paying a bit more each time -at the time of my test that was indeed equivalent.

I kept on with lower octane (refilling slightly more often) because I feared high-octane prices would raise faster. But I'm not even sure this happened, indeed.

Maybe I need another test...

I remember the time in Apple when there was only one model of (desktop) Macintosh, with a B&W screen; Apple at this time announced switching to color screen was definitely useless to the customers.
Indeed, switching to color screens was maybe the only step they took well behind "Windows"...

This works, but provides verrry small torques or forces.
FWIW, a couple of years ago, with my (european space industry) employer and a neighbor astronomy lab we designed a device involving a large and rough telescope concentrating light on mobile smaller mirrors, so as to provide torques or even forces, but very low, to light and very slowly moving spacecrafts. We wanted to deploy a flock of these, coordinating them to form a very large, multipart space telescope. Then, well, money went on missing. This will certainly come back some day.
Also, as mentioned around here, when in low earth orbit the multiple eclipses per day raise a situation where you lose control too often : this is really for when you're quite far from Earth.

I own a camper van whose underlying truck is a Mercedes. Fine craft, with among others a fuel-based heater that can preheat the motor (and the rest) before ignition when weather is cold.
Some day, years ago, a guy in Mercedes told me I could activate the heater even without switching the contact, just for heating the "van" side (and myself) automatically at night for instance. Boy was I interested. Setup just had to be modified, and this was very easy.

Only, at one point in time, the guy told me he was now waiting for Mercedes Germany Central to approve the software setup change, which had to be *signed* by them before being accepted by my truck's computer.
The change took 10 mn plus some hours before Germany Central accepted and numerically signed it.

So, what Renault does is in part what Mercedes have done for years. That's only the bit about refusing battery loading that's new, and I see this much more related to the presently enormous cost of the batteries (that imposes renting, which in turn moves responsibility from you to the battery owner, who in turn definitely wants them not to overpass some boundaries after which his own insurance company won't follow)

The day batteries are cheap enough we'll just buy them to the first auto maker that will sell them, and Renault will quickly follow with a Zoe-2 model ;-)

And, mind you, that day may not be so far away: I already own an electrical bicycle with a 800W motor plugged to a 17A-36V battery, that gives me some 60 Km autonomy *in mountains*. It just costed me twice more than a normal bicycle, and this I can afford.

Don't worry. You have already lost much more eyesight due to the small-factor car headlights you cross every night.
Fashion says headlights should be smaller, because this is nicer. So, the same amount of light gets out from a twice or four times smaller area.
Mind you, this same energy also lands on a four times smaller area on your retina.
You are already burnt, just because nobody thought about headlight size (there are laws on the total power, but not on the surface).
See, you don't need ultramodern retina head mounts...

Opt-out indeed is a scam in 99% of the case (and most of the time, an extra spammer confirmation indeed), but in some countries there are laws about that --in France for instance, just any ad *must* provide an opt-out link that does work, not only for mails but even for SMS for instance (for SMS you reply "stop" and sometimes receive a confirmation your address has been erased)
H.

Here in France *all* electric cars come with a contract for batteries replacement. Otherwise it'd be catastrophically costly. And boy will you replace them. Having the whole car structure to replace instead of changing batteries to me is a kind of industrial suicide, unless you decide to throw your car away every two years...

I'd say yes, this progress is terrific, butr concerning headstart I thought the NIF started maybe 10 years before Iter?

With a denser atmosphere (rather than none), it'll become easier indeed to brake and land.
When for instance you compare atmospheric entry and landing within the Earth atmosphere and the Martian one, the main difficulty on Mars is the much less dense atmosphere: aerobraking, transonic parachute deployment, end-of-trajectory thrusters all happen in a matter of dozens of seconds on Mars, while on Earth you have many minutes at least.

The denser atmosphere the best for safe arrival ;-)

(and that explains, too, the many crashes on Mars)

I participated in the Titan landing for Cassini/Huygens : I clearly remember the Titan atmosphere as a "thick" one, like on Earth (now we had other issues at the time, among others the terrible uncertainty on gas composition itself).
But I'm close to consider landing on Mars, though, is harder than on Titan.

How exactly will it be on Pluto, I hope to see ;-)

I fear relaying Sun towards Titan is at least as vain as the famous James Bond sun-focussing sat in whatever episode it was: very simple calculations starting from the Sun diameter show that given the distances involved, with ordinary optics you at best double the ordinary power (1 Kw/m2 -> 2Kw/m2 on Earth -nothing like an explosive setup).
If anything, given the huge distances and our not-huge-satellite-size capacity, this factor would be lower on Titan. Now, as you say, there remains the laser. But then you have to factor conversion losses in, unless you find a way to directly use sunlight as the exciting light.
All of this sounds very theoretical IMHO I vote for your nuclear generator ;-)

friended ;-)
