Pretty much. I would've been impressed if he had done it from actual transistors not full-blown ICs, but given CompEng students make stuff like this in school (admittedly, with FPGAs, but the concept is the same) it's not as complex as it looks. I'd say the hardest part is probably the output to monitor. The wiring would be tedious, but not unthinkable.
Hate to burst your bubble, but the no-nonsense attitude from the article is the exact opposite of the liberal mindset which tends to be more "accommodating," and the epitome of the Texan mindset.
Actually, I went and unraveled the legalese in the actual text of the law. You're partially right. They're still forcing taxes in other states to remit taxes, but have exemption clauses that put those requirements on hold until "the enactment of any congressional act that authorizes states to compel the collection of state sales and use taxes by out-of-state retailers."
Funny how they leave that out of the summaries of the bill.
Except they're now forcing businesses in other states to collect and remit taxes for items sold to Californians. This should be interesting because they're creating an interstate commerce tax which should normally be the jurisdiction of the Feds. Given the Feds got bent out of shape about Arizona doing the same with immigration, they either have to push a double-standard, or correct California's overstepping of authority.
No, it's quite possible he is. Most "professional drivers" I've seen and met are horrible drivers because they're used to breaking every law they can with relative immunity and get very lazy about it. Cops are the one group that can, IMO, drive extremely well when they focus. If the grandparent is at all a car enthusiast, it's quite probably right.
Much the same way that many firearms enthusiasts are BETTER shots than the cops. For many cops, qualification is a yearly obligation. For the target shooters, it's their weekly practice ritual and as such are highly skilled.
Except it's not. Treaties don't override the Constitution and any interference between the two would have to meet the same requirements as an amendment addition to be valid in the US. If they're found to be non-constitutional, they're invalidated.
Not really, I've got a 900sq ft place and I have 6 bulbs in my garage (opener + illumination), 6 tubes and 3 bulbs in my kitchen (overhead + stove hood + oven), 2 bulbs in the fridge (freezer + fridge), 7 bulbs in my living room (5 rarely used in the ceiling + 2 niche lamps), 2 in the laundry closet, 1 in the hall, 2 in the bedroom closet, 2 tubes and a bulb in the bedroom, and 4 tubes in the bathroom. That's 35 bulbs and tubes for an apartment, though at the moment I rarely use more than 2 of those for anymore than 30 seconds.
Any stand-alone home could easily have 50 bulbs with extra bedrooms, bathrooms, closets, hallways, and exterior lighting.
If you're shutting off bulbs as you should be, that's just extra wattage being used. If you have lights you like to leave on, replace them with LED and save yourself the wattage. My reading/desk lamp, which is normally the only one on in the place 4+ hours a night, pulls a roaring 3W and lights up my entire area.
Occasionally the engine in your car will throw a rod and knock a chunk of metal out of the block, possibly spilling oil and giving the mechanic oily hands. Oil can cause cancer. Does this mean all cars are unsafe? No, it's an example of an inconvenient failure.
However, some cars (NHRA) can fail and throw a piston through a header at high speeds. That's a damn good example of a design that is inherently unsafe (though very entertaining in the proper context).
TMI is an example of a relatively safe meltdown, where Chernobyl is an example of a catastrophic meltdown. The point is, don't use the example of your sedan's motor croaking as evidence that "all cars are unsafe by design because they can fail." Not all fail catastrophically.
The reputation isn't the problem. The problem is the equipment is expensive. There is at least one teledildonics service in place, but last I saw the equipment was $90 in the bargain bin and requires a $20/month service fee to utilize their servers. It's just not all that popular.
Now, when someone can figure out a $50 toy, or $100 toy set that you can use without putting your credit card into a monthly service fee database then you'll have a teledildonics millionaire.
Sending a message or not, this is abuse of power to an extreme degree. There should be limits on judicial powers, undefined servitude is a good start to the limitations.
Well, to be honest, I feel horribly limited when forced to work at a company that only uses single screens. After years of developing and editing in one screen while referencing data or docs in the other, often multiple windows in each, alt+tab between two windows seems archaic and painful.
Tetsujin nailed most of the points pretty well. As a licensed HAM, I have several hundred dollars in 70cm(440Mhz) gear. Some have thousands of dollars worth of gear. Additionally, there are many people that have repeaters (think radio servers) setup to receive and transmit on the 70cm band. Each server is allocated a frequency (think IP address in this case) on which it is allowed to operate. Can you imagine the storm of rage if a government official decided to revoke the 64.X.X.X IP block and everyone on that block lost their dedicated IP addresses? Except radio is nearly 100% allocated and the repeater hardware generally only works on the one band (imagine if your ethernet card only worked on a given/8!!), so good luck getting another frequency to operate on.
Having attended DeVry (I stopped because I ran out of money 3/4 through) and seeing what passed as senior level students, I wouldn't hire a DeVry graduate unless they had other credentials. I gained some knowledge there, but only because I actively sought additional information from professors and helped with several extra-curricular activities revolving around more advanced topics.
For example: one of my classmates was stumped that she couldn't get her Java project to compile. Instead of a.java text file, she had a MSWord document in the solution. When I told her she'd need to convert it to a plain text file, she couldn't figure out the "invalid character at line Y, position X" errors from the MSWord quotes and hyphens left in the text. And she was a CS major on her last term.
For those making the constructive criticism vs. snarky remark distinction, I specifically didn't use "constructive criticism" for a reason. More than once I heard students told, "With that attitude, get used to asking if they'd like fries with that," "so did you not pass 3rd grade arithmetic?" and similar remarks that would definitely qualify as snarky comments specifically intended to publicly humiliate. Personally, those students deserve to hear the truth. Sure, she should probably offer a path to redemption but many students really don't care.
Agreed, and I DEFINITELY don't want cell phones all over the place in our national parks. People are bad enough in the city, can you imagine taking in a great scene while hiking and here comes someone blabing loudly into their cellphone. No thanks.
I disagree. Some of my BEST teachers (based on the measure of how much I learned/gained from a class) had no problem calling a student out in front of the WHOLE class with a cuttingly honest remark. Why? Because they would point out the faults and pressure you to work towards fixing them. Sure, there was a student here or there that merely gave up in the class after such remarks, but those were the same students that put no effort in elsewhere either. On the flip side, these same teachers gave out praise for exemplary work, and you can bet when you got it you felt great.
At this point, too many students are coddled when they need to be slapped up-side the head with reality. Lazy, disrespectful, and borderline criminal students need not be told it's "okay" but rather need to be told to shape up. Too many are coming out of school expecting things to be handed to them, or to "pass" with minimum effort.

Data is easy, hardware not so much.

Deadly weapon but not considered armament, thus in no way, shape, or form does it have relation to the right to keep and bear arms.

$80k Programmer * 5% increase in productivity = $4k in gain for the company.
Second monitor clocks in at around $300 + energy costs.
Hmm...

Imagine the shitstorm if several names turn up from the recently re-established governments.

And yet if you have a serious medical issue you can walk into an emergency room and won't be turned away. Try that in Mexico.
Sending a message or not, this is abuse of power to an extreme degree. There should be limits on judicial powers, undefined servitude is a good start to the limitations.
If someone weren't already doing just that, I would be scared of that happening.

Only if a survival-minded HAM with locator equipment doesn't get to him first.
