Network specialists? My a$$. They are no more network specialists than bloggers are professional journalists (yes, I feel your pain and anger and feel free to think yourselves to be anything you want, which won't change a thing).
A blogger is a professional journalist if they're making their living at it. It makes no difference how trivial the material they cover is, it's a matter of definition.
Fuck that poor schlub. My current WISP uses static setup for at least some users. That poor schlub should have just coughed up the information, and if he doesn't know what he's doing, he should have a job answering easier questions, like about which end of the hose you connect to the spigot.
Next time, after the third time you tell them what you want them to tell you, just demand to talk to their supervisor. The "supervisor" you get will probably just be a fellow employee who will give you the info. Barring that they will maybe be a tech lead who will give you the info. Either way you waste the time of an employee who costs more than minimum wage, and thus help to motivate a change.
The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (whose name you didn't actually know when you went looking for a citation, I notice) is not a charitable organization, it is a vessel for spreading evil and oppressive IP law across the globe while pretending to do something about Malaria and other diseases which cannot possibly be wiped out without access to more countries than they will gain access to under their terms.
If you want immunizations from the Gates foundation you will have to grant strong IP protection to pharmaceutical companies. So strong, in fact, that should your people be dying and should you be able to manufacture the drug that will save them yourself, you will find the WTO and the world bank up your ass in a second if you do so instead of paying Big Pharma literally any price they demand for it.
Meanwhile, the foundation makes many investments in corporations and industries which are killing many of the people they are claiming to try to help. When they were caught doing this they issued a press release saying they would review their investments for ethical content. Then the press release disappeared from their website. Then they issued a new one that said that they would not be reviewing their investments because it involves time and effort. This conclusively proves that in fact they do not give one tenth of one fuck about anyone; not you, not me, not people dying of Malaria. Their goals are entirely commercial and they have suckered not just you, but millions of others.
What on earth made you think that Bill Gates suddenly was not a willful repeat criminal, essentially a real-life super villain? He's a persian cat and a monocle away from trying to fry people's nuts with fancy cutting equipment.
If you really wanted to know about the gates foundation, you could ask google. Instead of just searching for their name, which is how you get a bunch of official PR and the crap that the mainstream media has decided to repeat ad infinitum, try prefixing it with "problems with" and see what happens. It's amazing what you can find out when you actually try.
So by your definition or by everybody else's, comparing a car to a house is like comparing apples to oranges.
If you're making comparisons that don't require discussing mobility, you can make a meaningful comparison between a house and a car. But if you really think that is parallel to what I've said (both fruits is parallel to both vehicles or buildings which is not the case here) then you need a tighter grasp on English, logic, or both.
And it prevents you from accidentally killing a family of 7 in the minivan in the next lane that you didn't have time to check for.
If you don't know whether there's a minivan in the next lane already, you're not driving correctly.
So just to be clear, your system disables when you need it the most, when you're building up speed on a straightaway while you're asleep? That sounds really, really stupid, but maybe I have less imagination than the engineers at Honda. What problem was the auto-shutoff supposed to solve? And as an aside, is your Accord a Euro R? Always wondered if those were any fun to drive. The Accord is very good to drive, but I never found it to be actually enjoyable.
According to Oregon law, you're never supposed to veer out of your lane to avoid an accident, you're supposed to maintain enough space in front and behind that you can stay in your own lane while making an emergency stop.
How do they propose I handle someone coming at me head-on in my lane, for example deciding to make a passing move at an inopportune moment?
If you really thought you were going to need to lock up the brakes it would be beyond easy to modify your vehicle to allow it to happen. You add a switch into the circuit which powers the ABS, done and done. I believe you can even get a wirelessly activated switch which takes the place of a fuse, but seriously, if you need this feature you can make it happen, and if you can't make it happen you don't need this feature.
I'm sure he meant high-powered LEDs. If you're using, say, a 20W LED module, then you're going to need a heat sink capable of dissipating 20W. Socket 7 heat sinks are popular, probably because lots of us have them sitting around.
That must be nice. All of mine are pulsed DC and they look like dookie. They were cheap as heck, though. How much more could it have cost to use a full-wave rectifier, anyway?
Both of these make DC power transmission cheaper and more efficient than AC, but it's not like it's magic. In order to connect to the power grid, you still need to convert between the two, which results in massive losses and makes it not worth the effort
Uh no. It results in massive expenditure for modern, expensive equipment, or massive losses. Converting to a lower voltage is cheap and easy and converting to slightly less than twice the voltage is also easy but slightly less cheap. There's no reason we couldn't have DC in our walls. In fact, a lot of the AC stuff we have (though not all of it!) will run on DC just fine, namely stuff with switching supplies. These days even a lot of wall-warts are switchers.
The reason we use AC for things other than long haul, other than the fact that's what we have an installed base of, is that it's convenient to wire. In order to convert without massive expenditure, AC motors and heaters aside, we would have to use the same voltages in homes and in an industrial context, because we wouldn't be able to use transformers on the poles any more. But new long-haul links are definitely going DC, because there is less loss. Yes, it costs more for the endpoint equipment, but on a long haul you may be saving a lot of wire in between, and that might make the overall system cheaper.
Imagine what would happen to the oil price if the US would get their efficiency up to the level of the other industrialised countries.
Why would the oil barons with the votes want that to happen?
Maybe you should use fluorescent lamps instead of flourescent lamps, I find that powdered wheat does not emit a lot of light unless you set it on fire. That might help you see your ductionary.
I don't use fluorescent lights anywhere I don't have to because they give me a headache.
Also, I've never heard of organised motorcycle tours
What do you call Sturgis?
A nominally organized motorcycle rally.
Kleeneness is next to Godelness.
