Have been to the South Pole twice. Yes, it's flat and white but it's also at high elevation - those who are susceptible to altitude sickness may need an oxygen tank the first few days. Everyone is advised to take it easy until they acclimatize. Maybe the altitude is factor in the cerebral shrinkage. Winter overs got to attempt to join the 200 club - go from a 100 degree sauna in the dome to the pole marker outside when it was 100 below with just their boots on - talk about shrinkage...

When Comcast did a modem upgrade they just cut (literally) all the cables going to a digital antenna, wall outlets, etc. to make it simpler to do their single connection. Cancelled all tv the next day and get along fine on Netflix, the digital antenna, and Kodi. As soon as an economical alternative is available to their "high" speed internet, that goes too. Suggestions are welcome.

The plan is probably to eventually have a small fleet of drones attached to a self-driving (probably electric drive) vehicle where they can return to recharge after making the delivery hop locally. The drone fleet could also hop to a new vehicle that was dispatched from the local warehouse with new deliveries. I would not be surprised if the vehicles will also be able to recharge themselves at their own charging ports at the warehouse or somewhere on the delivery route.

Oops - even worse than DB9 serial, it has a gameport connector. Oh, well.

I kept two of the Logitech Cyberman II controllers, one unused, just in case this game was resurrected. I'd need to have a D9 to usb serial port adapter and driver that works. I'd contribute to another kickstarter just for that.

Apparently then I'd never have to see the name Kardashian in print again.

Hopefully Google will devote some of the cash in it's deep pockets and some of the resources at Boston Dynamics to pushing the technology for a powered exoskeleton for paraplegics. Without some philanthropic funding or medical plan coverage the market will never have enough numbers to bring the price down to an affordable range. Just being able to stand up, let alone walk, is life changing for someone in a wheelchair.

Exactly. Unfortunately, most Americans don't know or ignore this. The other problem with not knowing the rules are the drivers who stop before entering when they don't need to. New rotaries should be posted with basic signs until they're more common. They recently installed several in my area and they greatly relieved congestion and peak gridlock. The Atlanta area is a prime candidate for rotaries but installation would probably become a Tea Party issue.
