  1. Re:In other news... on Tesla Switches on Giant Battery To Shore Up Australia's Grid (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    Recently, the 30% of homes with solar in SA were supplying 60% of the states energy needs.
    Another 30 and we wont need anything other than storage.
    I generate more than I use from a 2Kw high end solar rig that cost only 4k aud.
    When Inget my own battery, i will not use the grid at all.

    Last days in the sun, lol, the Liberal National coalltion is so incredibly hopeless in SA, they will never win government.
    Note for US readers, the Liberal party here is the right wing party.

    Was staying out in the bush this week, both of my companions had service on their cheapo Android phone, my iphone did not, very poor reception at fringes indeed.

    Yeh, what would the leading energy scientists know that some random bozo on Slasdot doesnt. Sad.

  6. Yes, well I would have thought being probed by Missouri republicans wouldnt be nice, those good ol' boys are always the sick ones.

    This is not a new problem, while working for the then Telecom Australia in the early 8o'S, the same used to happen to analog wires and cables.

  8. Indeed. Those old HP lasers were built like a tank. I know of quite a few 4 and 5L models still working great.

    Exactly right, the negative attitude has always surprised me in respect to Musk, who at least is pushing the boudaries of technology.
    On a tech nerd site, its rather ironic. If we had listened to all the negative Nellys in the past, we would still be arguing over what colour the wheel should be. To the B ark with them.

  14. Re:Totally Agree! on Why Are There So Many Knobs in Audio Software? (theoutline.com) · · Score: 1

    Having done thousands of live mixes, yes a mixing board is the most efficient way to group, adjust and display many parameters in a human usable fashion.
    I use a digital mixer with ipad remote these days, but the only reason I do so is to save weight and not use long multicore cables. ( saves 100kg)
    The downside is in speed of pulling a good mix at the start, on a real analouge mixer, it takes less than the first song, whereas the digital desk takes up to 3 songs to get near the same result, purely due to the slow access of the interface.
    Its almost as if all those years of refinement and design by experts were worth it.

    After a recent accident, I was given a combintaion of Oxycodone and paracetamol, it was remarkable how much difference between just Oxycodone, and the paracetamol at the same time was, much better when combined.
    I read somewhere recently that studies had shown paracetamol was ineffective for back pain.

    Not a thing of the left, gun ownership is a right wing cause.
    Tell that to Gabrielle Giford, of Jo Cox in the UK, both shot by right wing nutjobs.
    Then there is multiple killer Anders Breshvik, another far right nut job.
    Luckily, civillised countries control guns properly, and dont end up with 5 year old girls killing their insructors with machine guns. At least it thins the herd.
