He says in the first 5 minutes that vertical objects are hidden and it will let horizontal patterns through. the top of the rail is too close to the material, but the bottom was placed 8 inches from it and is effectively invisible. notice too that the outlets on the wall disappear as well.

Seems like (i'm over simplifying) a polarized Fresnel lens. think like a fun house mirror, you can distort a particular direction, possibly to the point of making a vertical object thin enough to be un-observable.

Kinda the same thing as a tarp in a snowblower.

Best case, you replace some breakaway pins.

Worst case, you bent the auger to hell and maybe the PTO shaft. Full replacement of the front half of the machine

Saving on salt might be the better of the 2 evils. Madison WI is having a well water contamination issue due to road salt. https://madison.com/wsj/news/l...

Well, to their credit, they aren't (at least according to TFS) solar, just heated. and being porous, they can be connected to the storm drain, maybe with a flow sensor under them, so they only stay on long enough to clear the road/sidewalk/business entrance. I really see this as no different than heat tape in the gutter, or roof heaters. you only run them for a half hour, snow/ice melt fairly easily, and then your good until the next 4 letter event. here in northern Wisconsin we already use those things I mention as well as corn boilers to melt driveways.

I dunno, Budweiser and Monster have figured out the resealable can thing, oh yeah and NOS

Actually, it's the same thing as mastercard/visa tap and go. you just wave the phone/card over the POS and proceed as normal. the android/apple/samsung/lg pay is just the companies going through regulatory checks, then they just get seen as another chase/capitol one clone.

if you see this, it should work. (although i've only seen it without the hand)

x86 up to the pentium MMX level should be out in the open. patents only last 15 years. start with that, add our own versions of the media codecs, we could call it x86-libre or something.

pandora has always had a 30 day trial for plus, and i renew my subscription every year in one payment.

I work for a gas station where my boss is really pushing for the new hardware. We were supposed to have the new hardware last october, and the software this october. also we have a ATM that is SUPPOSED to be chip ready. they won't give us a ETA for the POS (point of sale. aka cash registers) and the vendor for the ATM doesn't have any matching answers either. My boss will get any number of answers depending on who he talks to. Last week, we had a tech from the ATM company who was supposed to enable the ATM for the chip. our understanding was he just had to swap the reader and enable it in software. The tech instead came up (4 hour drive) to tell us he didn't have a compatable reader in stock, and that we had to wait until they did. (or he would sell us a pre-assembled ready to go unit for $5000, ours is 4 months old.)

As for slow, I can tell you that is a function of the connection type. our POS Dealer has a contract with Huges Net (sattelite) for our current system. takes about 8 seconds to negotiate due to ping limitations. if they scan a rewards card, add 15 seconds between hitting subtotal and again after hitting the payment method.

the new POS system, they wanted to originally have it cellular based, but considering the quality of service around here, no thanks. My boss pushed and found out broadband was a option (the on site tech had no idea) but we need a dedicated line just for that (no sharing the current Internet) with a cellular as backup.

Still no ETA on when they will swap the hardware for either company

Oh and the companies are Cardtronics (ATM) and Verifone(POS)

your dropping it wrong.....says apple when "screen-gate" happens

Same here, bottom right, "send feedback" I use it all the time, I’ve sent a few dozen corrections, and i get a email in a couple days thanking me for helping.

mirroring only protects against hardware failure. if you have a software error, you get hacked, the OS decided to implode that day....etc, the damage will be on both drives at the same time. My boss found that one out.

He was in the "drive mirror is the best backup" camp, I'm firmly in the "sync and unplug a USB HD". his version of windows deep-6'ed itself, his drives were past recovery with common tools, and had to start over. lost all his business e-mail, and a lot of important documents, thankfully, he was able to restore most of it by asking others about their backups. now, he still has the mirror, but has a USB HD in his filling cabinet that he syncs once a month.

i find it frustrating that the only cost effective way to backup a current hard disk is via another hard disk.

is it real or is it Memorex?

you can change rotation speed by moving where the mass is located, consider a ice skater spinning. pull the arms in, spin faster, move them out, spin slower

no, sigil. https://github.com/Sigil-Ebook... calibre is wonderful for sorting a finished product, but the conversion tool usually does more harm than good.
