    You should be fine, the 510nm band is unlicensed.

    Ham licenses don't grant authority to operate on cell frequencies or interoperate with stations in other services (like cell towers) in non-emergency situations.

    Actually, I think that 4chan is useful, and does add value.

    I consider it a sort of overpressure relief valve. Go read The Shockwave Rider (feel free to get it from anywhere you like, including libraries), compare 4chan to Hearing Aid.

    My personal webpages, on the other hand, exist primarily for me to experiment (badly) with HTML and Apache configurations.

    I have a feeling that it's the same way with honey that hasn't been stabilized and dough-conditionered.

    Fresh? I thought honey lasted for years.

    The honey may last for years; it's likely however that there are delicate flavors that get lost as it ages.

    Bread may last for a few weeks, but when it's fresh, it seems to taste better (or at least different, if we're not going to make assumptions about flavor preference).

  10. Re:Buy local honey on Laser Intended For Mars Used To Detect "Honey Laundering" · · Score: 4, Informative

    I HAVE to try coffee honey.

    That sounds interesting, but the coffee honey is likely to taste of coffee blossoms, not roasted coffee seeds. You may not get the flavor you're hoping for.

    That's only likely to help with new construction.

    Duck & Cover warnings just need a way of informing the populace, not making everyone rebuild their homes on a proactive whim.

    I don't know anyone in security that doesn't want a continuous recording of the video.

  23. Re:Recipe for disaster ... on How Not To Launch a Gadget · · Score: 2

    You can already get "quick turn" circuit boards in a few days from real board houses.

    I don't see 3D printing speeding it up any, especially when the boards produced may not be continuity tested or have 94V-0 approval.

    Besides, once you make the board, it needs to be populated, soldered, functional tested, and possibly safety tested (hipot).

    Slowing it down can save money - standard turn & assembly may take a few weeks, but the cost may be 1/100th of quick turn (economies of scale, no expedite charges, standard freight instead of expedited...).
