With the inrush currents when starting large electric motors instant triggering would be bad, it's continuous draw that's the problem. It takes time to heat wires so short duration overloads aren't a problem.
But the link was to fat man. Fat man was a plutonium implosion device, much more complicated than the simple uranium gun mechanism in Little Boy. You can't use the simple gun mechanism on Plutonium.
So 5 US STATES are each larger than the whole country.
Its mostly a matter of the large areas that would have to be covered for little or no advantage. The small number of towers required to cover the lightly populated portion of finland would get arizona covered, where does the money come from to cover the rest of the lightly populated states?
Actually, a jibe is part of a boat. And "jives" would make sense in the usage presented, as "jives poorly" would mean it doesn't go well together, since two people dancing badly together would be "jiving poorly." Thus "jives well" means it goes together well.
A jibe or gybe is a sailing maneuver where a sailing vessel turns its stern through the wind, such that the wind direction changes from one side of the boat to the other.
My daughter's bus driver knows all the kids on his bus and if someone is missing or extra the situation is resolved before the bus leaves the school. Another good advantage is the teachers and administrators also know each child personally and if they see something going on they can yell names across the schoolyard instead of just saying "hey you".
Anyway, I disagree with this sort of ham handed management of fuel economy. Push the gas tax through the roof, and we customers will roast manufacturers who don't give us good fuel economy. We ought to bump the gas tax in the US up by 10 cents per gallon every month until we've added at least $1, then index it to inflation so it doesn't erode away like it has. No need for government fuel economy mandates. Make fuel economy worth having, and let the market figure out the details.
I think it would be more likely we (the US population) would roast the idiotic lawmakers what passed such an extreme tax increase.
Why? I can see some justification on the strXXX functions where you don't know how many bytes are going to be copied unless you call strlen first, but in memcpy you pass how many bytes to copy in as a parameter. So this is to protect programmers who can't do math?
Bobbin underneath? You need a better machine. My 40 yr old singer has a top-loading self-winding drop-in bobbin. When I saw the nightmare contraption other manufacturers call a bobbin I just laughed, "You mean you have to take the bobbin out of the machine and put it WHERE to wind it?". Newer singers also have made threading the machine easier.
What do you think about sites designed for a 1280 width, or even sillier, 1600 width. Several of the corporate sites where I work only work without horizontal scrolling if you have the browser maximized on a 1600 wide monitor. Unsurprisingly the original designer happens to use just that size screen. That's why fixed width is bad, it allows the designer to not think about how things look on any monitor other than their own.

How many of the top %5 do you personally know? All the members of that group I personally know work much harder than I do. Way more hours away from family, way fewer leisure hours.
I have heard people complain about things like spam and porn on the internet and say "Why doesn't the government do something about it". If you frame the question properly in the US I bet you would get a surprising amount of support for government censorship.
The !@#$!@#$ things were so thick under my trees I was scooping them up with a snow shovel to stop from sliding around on the ball-bearing like objects.

I use a package called "motion" and a collection of shell scripts to handle my cameras and viewing them.

Ever think of just making the uid's on your various machines match?

No problems using data and voice at the same time on my treo on the sprint network, sounds like a BB issue rather than a sprint/CDMA issue.
Too bad it doesn't have wireless networking support, it looked to be the perfect thing to make older notebook computers useful.

As a user of Watcom C 9.0 and 9.5 I can say this isn't true.

Most people have an EZ-pass equivalent in their car.
Not sure where you live, there aren't any toll roads around me so nobody has an EX-pass equivalent. So MOST is a bit of an exaggeration.

Technically a jibe is a maneuver:

Is it time for an open standard for media syncing?
You mean... like some sort of USB mass storage protocol? ;)

other way around, stick an SD in a CF slot.
You do know they make SD to CF adapters.

It's just a drive power switch. I was expecting the actual SATA connection to be switched not just the power to the various drives.
Essentially it is: form -> business rules -> database. Alway, alway, always....
Ever think of writing some sort of engine to handle that rather than writing the same code over and over again?
