Yeah, I've heard a lot of recommendations for this printer. It's really intended for a small business, but I think it's worth the cost for the long haul.
I would say that one is more impressive than the one in TFA, considering the technological hurdles they had to overcome. That mirror on a servo was pretty slick too. Unfortunately, the video isn't of very good quality. But I am impressed with the graphical output of the altimeter.
Much romance surrounds travel by blimps/airships as they float gracefully through the air. But on watching that video, i have to say it it seems to be one of the least elegant take-offs (and landing) around.
The voice sounds professional, yes. However, the audio quality on the raw material is lacking.
I think you overstate the issues of that audio track. Sure, there is reverb, but it sounds like it was added in post. The "P"'s weren't popping and the "S"'s weren't that bad. Just because it doesn't live up to your personal level of perfection doesn't make it bad. The average person can't tell the difference.
I'm betting it's not even that and it's just a heart rate monitor to improve the quality of aerobic exercise.
I actually had to wear a heart monitor similar to this when I was in high school about 8 years ago. No they aren't selling your child's data to insurance companies. They are teaching your child about resting heart rates and active heart rates. How to find your target heart rate and keep it there to maximize your workout.
Gym class isn't what it used to be. It's more like working with a personal trainer these days than being pummeled with a dodgeball. You learn about proper exercise techniques and muscles in the body. We even had written examsl!
As a side note, my gym teacher did tell us what to look for in odd heart rates. She left it up to us to report it to our doctor.
A couple of years ago, a major ISP in Finland had a somewhat similar system. They wouldn't allow infected computers to take any other network access than HTTP and they redirected all HTTP traffic to a page saying "you're infected" and providing short instructions on how to fix it.
My ISP here in The States did something similar when my wife's computer became infected with malware (she wouldn't listen to me until it happened). Once a day it would redirect HTTP traffic to a page warning that suspicious traffic had been detected from our IP and that certain ports would be disabled unless we called them or fixed the problem. I greatly appreciated the message and it helped convince my wife that there was something wrong with her computer.
What I appreciated was that they didn't completely disconnect us, and if they detected a false positive we were offered the option to call them and have our traffic restored to normal.
use the official build of Flash, but do it from Firefox on openSuse! Everything else Flash-based works fine for me, but I can't get past the first page of this "advert masquerading as a tool" because I don't have any boxes to select my gender or age!
Yeah, I've been noticing this more and more with Flash on Linux lately. I think it has to do with websites designed for Flash 10. I think Adobe has decided to screw the Linux crowd and release a version of Flash 10 for Linux that doesn't behave the same as it does on Windows.
There are lots of objects that cause the same types of problems, including rotating radar antennas and buildings.
Yes, I heard this story last week at my local Fox affiliate, WFLD. The chief meteorologist stepped in at the end of the story and explained that there are lots of things that can cause these types of problems. He mentioned specifically that condensation from a cooling lake at a nearby nuclear power plant looks like a thunderstorm all of the time. But since they know about it, they can ignore it.
He concluded that he felt this story was blown out of proportion.
First of all, I wouldn't bury all of your cooling pipe in the foundation. The foundation will likely be slightly warmer due to the heat transfer to your house. You should instead bury the pipe in the ground outside and run it into your house. This is done all of the time for geothermal heat pumps, so I suggest you read up on them.
Second of all, you need to remember that heat transfer is not instantaneous. Just because you expose your hot coolant to 14 Degree temperatures for a few meters doesn't mean you will get 16 degree coolant on the other side. It really depends on how much heat this machine is giving off in the first place. You will have to sit down and do some calculations. Fortunately, if you have some basic knowledge of electronics, many of the same formulas apply to heat transfer.
Precisely! I hear of people swapping injectors and ECU's on diesel Jettas all of the time and claim they make 80 mpg. What they don't tell you is that a tiny puff of black smoke comes out of the tailpipe whenever they step on the pedal.
Why bother using a drive shaft? Put the 4 eletric motors at the wheels and just run electric wire to power them. Otherwise, I like your idea, it is probably overpowered for the normal driver, but a good idea.
The major hurtle there is the large amount of unsprung mass required to do so. Sure, you can do this, and it will work, but it will have worse handling than a Jeep Wrangler.
I'm quite certain the Volt is in fact in production [engadget.com] at this point, and yes I'm speaking of series hybrid drives but that doesn't invalidate my point at all.
Those are called "Production Prototypes" and they are used to verify the production processes, then the cars will be tested for durability, and then crashed in to walls to verify safety requirements. I suppose you could call that "production" but none of those cars will be sold. Legally speaking, none of those cars can be sold because the government hasn't signed off on them being street legal.
Comcast can even argue that Time Warner and Viacom have already set precedents for the acceptability of such a merger and that, in fact, Comcast needs to do such a deal to remain competitive.
Correct, Time Warner had a cable unit. So this kind of deal is not anything new. However, I think the scariest scenario is Comcast owning Disney.
I'm writing a computer program that will figure out every word combination that can possibly be used to form a sentence, and then copyrighting the output. When someone writes something somewhere, I'll sue them for copyright infringement.
Don't even think about stealing this idea. I have it patent pending on it!
Slashdot Mirror
I think I remember hearing that some Samsung laser printers are re-branded Xerox Phasers.
your dream of buying a cheap personal printer that will last you two generations of Windows is simply impossible.
No, it's only impossible if you are looking for one made by Lexmark.
Yeah, I've heard a lot of recommendations for this printer. It's really intended for a small business, but I think it's worth the cost for the long haul.
More like families that can't afford or refuse to participate in their child's education. Unfortunately the rest will suffer under this plan.

They're slate PCs and they're damn good.
They're also $3,000!

Which is why I prefer the Yakety Sax remix of the video linked in TFA.
fiat revolves around far inferior products
The Italians are gonna be pretty miffed when they find out you called their cars inferior!
I like to roll down the street blasting this.

Proper exercise techniques and written tests should be covered in health class (you know, where they used to teach sex-ed), not gym.
The two semesters of health class are totally consumed with drug education.
I'm betting it's not even that and it's just a heart rate monitor to improve the quality of aerobic exercise.

I've created a bug report for this issue.

Thanks again Adobe!
Everybody knows that Google is today's Bell Labs.

Good luck on your endeavor.
"Mr. President, please. Is this why you called us here? We already gave up! You won! We are too busy trying to perfect universal indoor plumbing!"
You didn't read the link did you?
I did and I was speaking from professional experience on the matter.
Have your car's emissions tested.
Precisely! I hear of people swapping injectors and ECU's on diesel Jettas all of the time and claim they make 80 mpg. What they don't tell you is that a tiny puff of black smoke comes out of the tailpipe whenever they step on the pedal.
Guess what? That won't pass US emissions!
