Actually, a well-built hydro system runs itself.

But you wouldn't know jack shit about the systems involved in automating such a process, now would you?

On the other hand, I know way more than you or lumpy combined, as it's my fucking job.

I also design new methods of lighting plants in said systems.

And what would YOU know, child?

Yeah, snow can have an effect when you have to go out and shovel out the C-band dish because the snow is half melted and the water is causing a flat spot in the nice parabola.

"I've been pulled over a few times when they get no laser return off it and told to get a new plate. "

And you just ignore them.

Because I'm betting that the statute requiring a plate doesn't mention the condition must be in except that the plate must not be obscured by crud, mud, covers, (even clear covers can be illegal sometimes), or license plate holders. That it must be legible.

KEY LIME!

William, When the game was funded they made a point of promising a 1PV Semi-Simulator that would never include "features" like coolant and 3pv They crowed funded the game as no publisher would touch it Without the founders there would have been no MWO at all. People are upset due to the developer’s lies. http://i.imgur.com/DZatw0S.jpg They have now censored everything on their website to remove anything to do with 1PV "promises" to prevent refunds to due false advertising.

It's an ergotron neo-flex with a mini-tower and a vesa-compatible monitor on the front. It's a computer that I can put away every day.

I used to have gaming laptops for this purpose, but I got tired of them dying heat deaths. I can upgrade the monitor and processing parts separately, and use whatever peripherals I want.

Did you look at the list? This is an example of a bad US prison. The primary reason it is on the list is because the prisoners are kept in isolation.

This is another example on the list. It's on the list because of the conditions, but also because of the physical and mental torture.

As another post said, the primary reason the US prison is on the list is because of Egotistical nationalism, not because of some rational scientific metric.

No prison thinks much of human dignity.

Six forty-year-old Volvos. In modern car terms, that's probably about 3-4 regular cars.

I won't vote Libertarian because they're only for giving the corporations and the rich assholes who run them the liberty to trample my rights, put me in an unsafe work environment, and make the air as filthy as it was before the EPA (as well as dismantling our already almost nonexistent safety nets).

WRONG!

Unfortunately, I haven't seen something like this IRL yet, but I really like the idea. So much so, that if I ever get a tablet in about that profile size, I plan to have a friend make one for me with her industrial sewing machine.

That's a screenshot from an animation set in the near-future. I don't have time to hunt down a more closeup shot, but essentially its sewn from leather, and holds the tablet in the small of your back. Secured by one of those hardened plastic speed-screws with a metal threading inset.

I still have my tabs on the bottom, even with Firefox 22. Here is what mine looks like with tabs showing. http://i.imgur.com/NrqP9mW.png

Because women are never abusive.

I don't know about Britain (where carrying pistols was hardly unheard of in the nineteenth century), but I don't know that I've ever heard this as an argument for gun control in the U.S. It seems an odd argument: It would definitely work to make carrying a weapon more difficult for the law-abiding, but the only way to make it less desirable would be if it indeed made it nearly impossible for criminals to get access to weapons.

And British gun control has led to knife crime and to forms of knife control that look downright silly from this side of the pond.

On Windows7 64bit, my FF currently takes 1.7GB, and I have 23 tabs open. I've seen it do far worse
to me though. Here, a screenshot:

http://i.imgur.com/VuzNwtr.png

Who said I don't use tabs? I use tabs all the time. I just don't need a single tab telling me what site I'm on when I only have one tab open. The Location bar does a great job of that. The tab bar, when only one tab is open, is completely superfluous. It takes up tons of screen real-estate in the process.

One tab open (hidden tab bar): http://i.imgur.com/VwQK7vm.png

Multiple tabs open (visible tab bar): http://i.imgur.com/NrqP9mW.png

It caused minor issues with some new theme they are pushing out. As if I use their themes anyway. Here is what my Firefox layout looks like. http://i.imgur.com/VwQK7vm.png
Simple, clean, minimalistic. And now I have to deal with a tab bar because it messes up their pretty little theme? Fuck you Mozilla.

i remember that before there was iframes there was a cool browser that let you make as many frames from multiple sources and did it all on a 486 with 8mb of ram. sadly aol bought it and killed the tech.

Not sure what browser you're referring to, but KDE's Konqueror browser can do that and is still being developed. Also supports different html engines and can be used as a file manager, too.

For example, here's a screenshot of Konqueror showing the same page (google.com) in three different views: khtml (left), webkit (right bottom), and embedded text editor with syntax highlighting (right top).

Tell me, is a positive longitude east or west? I assume that positive latitude is north.

Go to Google Maps and zoom in on your location. The city itself should be enough. Click on the Link button and copy the link. Open that link in a new tab, and you should get the lat/long coords of your map's center to show up in the search field.

Because I was curious, and don't know how to convert Fahrenheit to Celsius in my head, I was about to enter "90 Fahrenheit" in Google. But after seeing the most recent NSA story on the front page and I just used KDE's krunner (Alt-F2), with nice standard-y, but somewhat unexpected results.
By the way, 90 Fahrenheit is 32.2 Celsius.

there's no way to interpolate in an unblurred fashion.

Actually, there is, but it takes more processing power than a TV is capable of doing in realtime at the moment.

Besides 48+ fps at 4K resolution, it would be nice to have expanded dynamic range (10,000:1 contrast ratio instead of only 256:1) and wide gamut color.

Watching Once Upon a Time in the West, I noticed how the dynamic range in the outdoor scenes was compressed in order to get both shadows and highlights to display on film. Higher contrast ratio displays, and media formats that support them, would allow us to "decompress" these scenes and make them look more lifelike. Sadly, I don't think we could recover lost color gamut in the same way.

I know, right? What a bunch of hippocrates.

They need one of these...

I have no idea what you're on about. There is an "Avoid Tolls" function, and it's persistent if you're logged in. If you're wanting toll roads avoided by default for non-logged-in users, tough. There are very many people out there who don't mind paying small amounts to make their trips faster. I think it's a slim majority, and Google seems to agree.

IE catastrophically mutilating the standard

Oh come on. The standard was that people would choose whether or not to enable 'do not track', without being specific about how that should be chosen.

So Microsoft let users choose during installation, express settings, or custom settings, with the effects of the express settings (including the DNT setting) elaborated above:
http://i.imgur.com/Wo8nG.png

But then people cried foul and quickly suggested that they meant that people would have to specifically choose for that very specific option a 'yes or no' choice, rather than part of a package of options.

But let's face it, if they still put that in the installation screen, on a separate page, asking users if they would like to be tracked by the advertising industry yes/no, they would still catch a lot of flak and they would quickly suggest that what they really meant was that DNT should be off by default, and the option to turn DNT on should never be advertised (hehe) and instead hidden deeply away in a configuration dialog and named something like "Disable tailor-made rich content that enhances your browsing experience." - and if enough people did manage to find their way there (due to people telling each other about it on social media), the advertising industry would quickly ignore it anyway since there's no legal backing behind it that would result in fines for such disregarding the users' choice.

If anything, Microsoft should be applauded for this. Even if the intended effect may not have been to essentially kill DNT by exposing what a horribly useless feature it is, I don't think anybody sane is losing sleep over the fact that it did.

Too bad the W3C hasn't fully caught on yet and is still at least considering a DNT thing. But good on them for rejecting the current proposal from the advertising industry, I guess.

Actions like that are what gives thugs like the TSA the excuse they need to behave badly.

Not when you're in the public part of the terminal. The TSA checkpoint is what separates the public part of the terminal (pickup/drop-off area, luggage pick-up, rent-a-car desks) from the secure part (lounges and boarding areas). The TSA really can't be bothered to care what goes on in the public part of the terminal, as long as it happens far away from their checkpoint.

The notion that your personal firearms are what preserves your liberty is a cute little sound bite that doesn't really stand up to serious scrutiny.

I'm pretty sure he was referring to high crime areas, not martial law. His personal firearm is what preserves his liberty from guys that "run this shit", not the actual guys that run this shit.

Problem there of course is that standard varies from person to person. An ipad mini would count as a phone to some people.

You might want to invest in a newer router anyway.

The thing that limits the old GL's aside from their pathetic RAM and flash space is that they simply don't have enough CPU power. NAT work on the number of connections today's computers and applications require is a lot of work for that aged ~200 MHz CPU. While it speeds up web browsing of course, it's more noticeable when you do more things. As my friend put it when I talked him into upgrading his router from a WRT54G v8 to a $50 dual band TP-Link unit, "I was gaming on my XBox for about an hour, and I came upstairs to find out that my wife had been watching Hulu the entire time. I had no idea..."

They'd never been able to do that before without his game lagging constantly. It wasn't a bandwidth thing either. They have 6 Mb/s DSL.

I recommend this model for the features. It'll run DD-WRT---you might want that too to ensure you have CoDeL support---but the stock firmware works great and has most of the same features.

Here's a screenshot of DD-WRT's system status on the unit. I'm convinced that the version I'm running isn't quite stable.... hence the high load. It's also serving as an AP for me instead of doing NAT work. My NAT is done by a similarly-spec'ed device, a D-Link DIR-825, runs much better and costs about the same, but it only does 300Mbps on the 5 GHz interface. The D-Link might be a better candidate for DD-WRT if you're dead set on using it.
