I'm not aware of any seats on a CRS Dragon. However, I do remember an astronaut stating that a human stowaway would make it safely to earth aboard one. It certainly has some life support systems, because it carries mice to ISS.
I think since the Space Shuttle program, NASA has become much more concerned with safety. Therefore, a Dragon 1 with seats won't do. They want redundancy, specifically abort capability from the launch pad to orbit. Which is something the Space Shuttle never had. Before Challenger, it was LEO or die.
I wouldn't be surprised if NASA has a secret evacuation plan that involves using a Dragon as a lifeboat.
Which is a stupid cash grab really, as my 2002 tests just as good now as it ever did.
Not really, vehicles deteriorate and may begin to fail emissions standards. You are lucky to have a dependable vehicle that gets the same results after all these years. They are usually testing to see if your vehicle is functioning properly. In Illinois they just do an OBD scan to make sure no fault codes are present for the O2 sensor and catalytic convertor. However, even a perfectly maintained vehicle should show some deterioration in emissions performance.
We're talking about a bunch of sloppy old pickup trucks with little or no emissions controls, usually literally nothing but one O2 sensor, an EGR, a PCV, and a catalyst.
I develop vehicle emissions system for a living. An O2 sensor and a catalyst will get rid of the vast majority of emissions from a spark ignited vehicle. Little or no emissions controls would mean 1970s era cars. Think carburetor and no catalytic convertor.
and everyone arrested claims inappropriate use of force. Unless someone goes case by case, these statistics mean nothing. Both sides are biased, that's why police body cameras and bystanders recording video are such hot topics lately.
No, SolarCity doesn't lease the panels back to you - they sell the power from the panels to you. And they control the rate you pay and have the ability to raise it annually (up to 2.9% per annum).
ESPN charges cable providers around $12/month/subscriber.
The number I've been hearing is $30/month/subscriber. However, it's tricky to nail that figure down, because Disney sells ESPN as a package with all of its other channels. That's the problem. Once it becomes unbundled, you find out how much it really costs.
The reason why diesel engines have problems with NOx emissions is because the high temperatures and pressures in diesel fuel cause the nitrogen in the air to react with oxygen.
The high temperatures and pressures in the combustion chamber cause the nitrogen and oxygen in the air to react with each other to form NOx.
Yes, the controls system appears to definitely know how it wants the rocket to be oriented. It looks like it keeps overshooting it's target though. If it is PID controlled, the 'stiction' would cause the integral term to 'wind up' and overshoot once the valve becomes unstuck. This can happen every time the valve changes direction as it must come to a stop at some point to do so.
I've run into this kind of thing a few times in my career. I'm curious how they fix it. In my experience it is never an "easy fix" as Musk says. There is always some performance tradeoff.
I tried F-Droid for about a year based on a Slashdot recommendation. I wasn't impressed. Most of the apps were not very good. The good ones could be found on Google Play as well. All I got was a sense of insecurity because I was allowing apps to be installed from another source.
I've been watching Tesla stock since its IPO. 1% for some stocks is a lot. However, Tesla frequently swings 10% in a single day. I would say this was less volatility that usual.
I think the tipping point for electric vehicle range would be 1000 miles on one charge.
I disagree. The human body has needs too. Most people want to stop to eat and use a restroom around every 4 hours. If you can charge a car in the time it takes to have a leisurely meal, and then drive for another four hours, it should be fine for cross country driving. The Tesla Model S's largest battery provides just enough energy to propel the vehicle at highway speeds for about 4 hours. Also, the supercharger can charge the battery in about an hour. It's almost like they planned it that way!
I'd like to see Tesla partner with a chain of diners, like Denny's, that's open 24 hours a day.
Let them also use police shooting ranges for free as long as they're in good standing.
Good standing? Let them use the ranges even if they are in poor standing. Provide proper training. The next turf war will decimate the gang member population, and reduce the number of stray bullets. Everyone wins!
My first semester under my university's co-op program I was a human issue tracker. People would contact me with issues and I would track them in an excel spreadsheet. I would then follow up with various stake holders to track the progress on each item.
Thinking back on it, it was strange. I spent my college internship acting as a manager...
Depending on the volume of issues, this doesn't have to be a full time job. One person just needs to be the point of contact, document, and follow up on the items.
That article you are referencing is about a different topic entirely. There is a difference between having public and private accounts, both residing on the organization's servers, and what Clinton did. Kathleen Sabelius's three email accounts were all @hhs.gov accounts. They would have been subjected to the same security and record keeping requirements as anyone in the administration. This is a common practice in private industry, and I expect it to occur in the public sector as well. A well known public figure wouldn't be able to function with every lunatic sending them emails constantly. Therefore you have the public email address forwarded to a team of assistants, and the private email address to conduct day-to-day tasks.
What Clinton did was use a personal email account, like G-mail, to conduct business.
The fact they thought they could resolve the "telemetry problem" without access to the rocket, tells me it wasn't anything on the rocket. They said the rocket was healthy when they aborted the launch. I'm guessing they were having issues with the air-force radar long before the launch was scrubbed. I'm speculating it was providing suspicious data, and then suddenly no data at all. Perhaps they thought the radar system just needed to be restarted, and then it never came back online.
I have a Nexus 7 with 5.0 Lollipop. Trust me when I tell you this. YOU DON'T WANT IT! It's plagued with bugs! It's like Windows ME all over again. There's a reason it wasn't rolled out by major manufacturers like Samsung. It never made it through their quality testing.
Until I looked at this map, I had no idea so much of the planet was inhospitable. Basically all of the purple on the map is a desert, excluding a few places in the southern hemisphere where it was winter.
I was told my clock can be fixed by having the dealership reinstall the OS. That would take about 6 hrs they say, which I can't really be without my work vehicle for that long so I've just lived with it.
My wife's car has an older version of Sync, and I can update it myself by downloading a file to a USB drive and plugging it into the car. It took less than an hour. For some reason, dealer mechanics can't do anything computer related in less than a day.
We emissions-test everything 1967+ that was not exempt at manufacture.
Who is we? The federal emissions regulations don't require testing of every vehicle. That is up to the states. Most of them don't check.
Allow me to explain how emissions testing works. A vehicle is assigned an "end of useful life" by the EPA based on the type of vehicle. The manufacturer then ages the vehicle artificially by running it 24/7. The manufacturer then has to test the aged vehicle to show compliance.
This typically means the emissions from a new vehicle are much lower than an old one. Even if it is working properly.
California added an diagnostic requirement that says your "Check Engine" light has to come on if it's likely you aren't meeting the emissions regulations. How many people drive around with that thing on?
I'm simplifying a bit, but the point is, the great recession has caused a lot of vehicles to be driven past their declared "end of useful life". Even if they are still meeting the emissions requirements. They will be higher.
Industrial applications - Will let Walmart cut a few more cents off their prices and still make a profit. Barely noticeable.
Retail profit margins are razor thin as it is. The reason they make so much money is the volume. If they can shave a few cents off of each of the billion products they sell each year, that's tens of millions of dollars! That's very noticeable!
Of all the possible applications for the IoT, industrial applications are by far the most promising for that reason. Some industries are so competitive that successful companies look at fractions of a percent improvements as major investment opportunities. Industries that don't have that kind of high volume, fiercely competitive market, won't invest in this technology. However, the logistics industry is currently investing heavilyin this technology.

I nominate the Citizen Eco-drive wristwatch. It will run as long as it's exposed to light for at least a few minutes every 8.7 years!

Although TFA does not name all of the routers affected, it does name Ubiquiti routers specifically as being an issue.
$400! In Illinois there is no charge for the test.

The Germans have done similar things since 1925.

You don't necessarily need Cyanogenmod, you could just roll back to the factory image for KitKat.
