Also phones use digital pulses.

Umm, no they don't. For example:

What the heck is all this nonsense?? Nobody was "fired". WTF is that all about? The Apache Software Foundation is comprised of 99.9% volunteers. Some of those volunteers are put into a decision-making position -- added to a Project Management Committee (PMC).

All that happened was that the Foundation Board removed one person from a PMC.

That's it, people. No firing. No censoring. One simple change of "who get's to decide" on that project.

And do any of you know of his behavior over the past five years? On the private backchannels? Hmm? Yah. Didn't think so. Don't get all judgmental when you don't even know the history. When you hear just *one* side of the story. Simple answer is that the other side of the story is "no reason to explain a minor decision about altering a PMC roster". And definitely do not talk about a person's behavior, in public.

Get off the high horse. The Apache Software Foundation still has 9000 other volunteers and 200+ other PMCs doing incredible work. One dude does some unwelcome shit on internal lists, and y'all go crazy. Lighten up, and find another topic to rage about.

Bandwidth still matters for mobile, so smaller images of the same quality are quite welcome on mobile sites and apps.

Given that the developing world is likely to get online via wireless solutions, bandwidth is going to matter for a lot of people for a long time to come.

Potential investors were warned ahead of time in the 2004 Founders' IPO Letter which was part of the S-1 Registration Statement approved by the SEC.

Specifically:

"Do not be surprised if we place smaller bets in areas that seem very speculative or even strange when compared to our current businesses."

Sigh. That would be "During the heating season, we don't...".

All of the geothermal heat pumps, connected to a horizontal flow field ~6 feet (or ~2 meters) under ~2 acres (or ~1 hectare), that heat and cool my house have desuperheaters installed that exchange some of the waste heat in the summer to pre-heat the hot water heaters.

Given that the house has three ~90 gallon (or ~340 liter) hot water heaters, the 6 heat pumps (5 water-to-air zones and one water-to-water unit for radiant floors) are quite helpful in the cooling season when they are constantly dumping ~95 F (or ~35 C) waste heat into the tanks before the resistive electric elements in the tank need to heat the water further.

(During the cooling season, we don't have the usual complaints about heat pump heat being "lukewarm" because we have 7 wood-burning stoves with blowers and years of split firewood, thanks to the 2011 tornado super-outbreak.)

(NOTE: I tried to use the ° symbol or ° with the F and C above, but either Slashdot or my browser are not rendering it.)

Electric ranges (oven and cook-top) are 220V 50A .

Electric ranges are pretty common in U.S. homes, although, just some like clothes dryers and hot water heaters, some ranges use natural gas.

The most common receptacle for this in the U.S. is NEMA 14-50R .

Larger RVs also use this receptacle for "shore power".

So, installing malicious software means your information can be accessed? SHOCKING.

That code looks like the bastard child of Dart and Go.

Everybody in that issue, except for three, .. were part of our coordinated effort. Two people threw in comments that we had to delete (and if you look closely, are in the history). The third was likely aware, and his several comments supported our ruse, so they remained.

Our various tweets, including the two from @TheASF were (of course) coordinated along with the movement on the issue.

It was about a dozen of us, spanning around 14 hours. Many April Fool's pranks are "fire and forget". Keeping it *live* was our key. Many people, many voices, and many hours.

Hope you enjoyed :-)

Man, here I was hoping helm's deep would reinvigorate LOTRO. And yes, I had even pre-ordered it.

This is not actually true. The Level 1 "emergency" charger (120V 8A) that came with my Mitsubishi MiEV works just fine on an extension cord. The gauge of the extension cord has to be reasonable for the length of the cord itself, though. The charger works at the end of a 100-foot extension cord if that cord is 10 gauge (these are readily available at major home improvement stores). I have used a 12 gauge extension cord that was 25 feet long with no ill effects (voltage drop, etc.) as well.

To keep from losing existing charge due to climate control of the battery pack, the Level 1 charger would have worked just fine. It certainly isn't a good choice for charging for range, though. (The MiEV only has a nominal 62 mile range, and the Level 1 charger needs 22.5 hours to charge it to that range from empty.)

Actually, no, this should not be a violation of copyright as it seems very much like a parody of the original work, which is recognized as a form of Fair Use.
