"only" one of the 2 available gpio's on the esp8266-01 controls the boot mode, and only at boot time, then it's available for regular use... The other pin is free for general use.
It's still kind of restrictive:-) , but what I've found these (the -01's) really useful for is with i2c modules... i2c needs 2 signal lines and uses pull up resistors, so normally (including @ boot time) the 'program mode' pin is high for normal boot up... Add a pushbutton switch or jumper on that pin to ground and if it's closed during bootup, it goes into programming mode instead.
There's a bunch of interesting i2c modules out there; realtime clock , demux, pwm, flash memory, light intensity, temp/humidity, barometric pressure and a bunch of other modules that can all be chained onto the same pair of wires for i2c... There are even i2c modules with extra gpio's to make up for using the only other 2 pins it has for i2c:-)
Add to all that support for MQTT publish/subscribe and you have a platform that can collect sensor data and publish it to a lightweight message queue via wifi... Pretty cool stuff...
I wouldn't use (IMHO) the delivered AT "modem" command firmware, or the nodemcu/lua stuff... The Arduino environment now has support for these modules and works really well. Going back to BASIC doesn't really appeal to me:-)
Fraud is a deception deliberately practiced in order to secure unfair or unlawful gain (adjectival form fraudulent; to defraud is the verb).
Fraud - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F...
How about lying about false and massive penalties in order to extract payment for an alledged offence that hasn't been proven to have taken place? Sounds like fraud, which is certainly illegal...
Run the numbers... If you are lucky enough to be in the top 1% of income earners you are likely to be paying more into the system than you are getting out of it.
Only if you neglect to account for the value you received from a system that allowed you to reach the top 1% of income earners...
Or is it totally different when your survival is on the line?
But that's just it... your or my survival is not "on the line".
The response is totally skewed to the risk and in many cases the measures taken are ineffective to boot.
Compare the number of passengers who travelled by commercial air last year to the number killed during a terrorist act's on commercial air flights. Even the comparison over the past decade should make clear how much more your survival is on the line during your drive to the airport, or your morning shave than on the fight itself.
the water isn't getting pumped all over the motherboards of these computers or something drastic like that. What they mean is that they keep super-chilled water on hand at all times.
Nope, they mean that if there's a fire, they're dumping tonnes of water directly onto the computer cabinets that are burning... Once the computer's on fire, water can't hurt it much further...
This is a pre-action water system and they're becoming more popular in computer rooms now that Halon is falling out of favor. They start out dry (uncharged), then if smoke/heat is detected (or other combinations of pre-action's) they charge with water, but still don't 'go off'. Then, when a fire below a sprinkler head gets hot enough to melt the fusible link, that sprinkler head goes off dumping water onto the fire below (and around) it.
In this way, false discharges are rare since it requires a pre-action before there's even any water in the lines above the equipment, then the heads only go off where it gets hot enough to melt the fusible link. The rest of the room doesn't get wet. (assuming the floor drains the water away effectively, and this place has a 6' raised floor!)
Imagine if the UN decided to pull all the.mil domains, harming our ability to respond to a crisis.
Imagine if the UN decided to pull the plug on the US internet because we pissed them off, like not ratifying the "Rights of the Child" act because we don't make spanking one's brat a federal felony.
Imagine if the UN decided to pull the plug on Christian churches because they were considered offensive to other faiths.
Imagine if the US decided to pull the plug on.uk because they pissed them off...
I think this is the crux of this... The EU wants some control over their own Internet infrastructure since, as with most places, more and more daily business (government and commercial) is dependant on the Internet.
"Natural selection" is simply the consequence of a series of "good" mutations.
And hence, it's not random... The genetic mutations (an aspect of NS) are random. NS as a consequence of a series of good mutations is therefore not random. If it were, NS would have roughly as many bad and good mutations...
what ever happened to the plain ol' combustion engine, rack and pinion steering, pnuematic brakes and a throttle cable?
Bah, throttle cables and rack 'n pinion steering... In my day, we steered with a crack of the raines, and we were better off for it! You kids and your hippy pnuematic brakes...
A friend of mine was kicked back on his couch in his boxers watching a movie (home theater type setup)...
There was a knock at the door, he opened it a crack to answer it (he was in his boxers). The door was forced open and he was pinned to the floor by a bunch of heavily armed cops!
It seems a neighboor had heard somebody yell "Everybody get down!" followed by some gun shots, put 1 and 1 together and came up with 3...
...with no notion of error bars, relative size of margins or any other of the statistical basics that are necessary to make the slightest sense of the results.
As another poster has mentioned, the confidence interval for the data in the graph you refer to is 95% (not the large 5th-95th percentile range plotted around the mean score).
But for a clearer view, look at page 92 (page 90 in the pdf). It shows country comparisons and whether the differences between them are statistically significant or not... (synopsis: they are significant outside of a small band along the diagonal of the table...)

No... Back then we only used 2 digits for the years... Sadly, he was only 1... It's amazing how much he accomplished in such a short time!

_This!_ so much...
Near miss? They oughtta call it a near hit.
*boom* Look... They nearly missed...

Both are to be considered "dwarf planets"
We prefer the term "little planets"... (you insensitive clod!)

I told Microsoft I wanted a simpler user interface, next thing you know... Windows 7 black screen of death!
I'm a PC and Windows 7 was my idea...
Yes it is...
Hmmm, now that was a damned unfortunate place to stick a typo... Now, wasn't it?
