I seem to recall that some of the first Boeing 777's manufactured with the standard (non-folding) wings actually had a seam in their internal wing structure so that they could easily be converted to having folding wing-tips at a later date. It also meant that most of the main wing structure was the same between the two versions.
The Last Unicorn was animated in Japan by a studio named Topcraft. Rankin-Bass had used Topcraft for their earlier television productions of The Hobbit and The Return of the King, and this was their most ambitious collaboration. In 1985, Topcraft went into bankruptcy, at which point a team of its animators bought the studio and began a new one, including many of the same Topcraft employees. That team was made up of Hayao Miyazaki, Isao Takahata, and Toshio Suzuki, and the new company was Studio Ghibli.
Be careful replacing the oven lights, LEDs contain plastics and can't handle high temperatures. I have seen special replacement LED bulbs for fridges though.
I have a Philips 13 Watt, 1055 lumens LED bulb in my bedroom light which I installed on 1 July 2013. I have the light on for many hours at night and it is still going strong after close to 5 years of usage. I am thinking of buying the newest version that now only uses about 10.5 Watts to see if there is any significant deterioration of light output. We have had an all-LED house for about 3 years now and we have not had a single one fail.
When I was at university in the 1980's the main printer of our Prime 750 supermini was known as pr0. When I see posts on Slashdot saying things like "your pr0n collection" my first thought is of a large dot-matrix page printer.
I laugh when I hear people saying that a restaurant has freshly-made lasagna. In Italy they like to reheat and eat it the day after. After it has cooled down and dried out, it loses its sogginess and has a richer taste.
This approach is the way New Zealand went, and now you have parents pumping their kids, and as a bonus, the country is now gained status as human trafficking hub.
Really? I do not hear many stories of that happening. Most of the human trafficking happening in New Zealand is where people from poor non-english-speaking countries are exploited by unscrupulous employers. Over forty years ago when I was at highschool, one of my classmates had a neighbour who worked as a prostitute from home. She had a teenage daughter who worked with her. He used to get woken up by dirty old men knocking on his windows asking for them.
There's also the Nucleus RTOS from Mentor Graphics. Here in New Zealand, it's available in feature phones such as the Mobiwire Dakota, Doro 6520 and the ZTE R350. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
Reminds me of a story that I've read a few times in my life - I'm curious if anyone else here has heard about it. The story goes that a university was working out a list of which students would be granted scholarships. A senior official had a list of the top students that would then be further reduced to the top half who would then get the scholarships. The story goes that the list of the half of the students that failed the final selection was accidently used to grant the scholarships. By the time the error was discovered it was too late and the students were already studying. The story ends with the university later comparing the grades of the students who were mistakenly granted scholarships to those who should have received them and it was found that there was no significant difference.

That's not been the case in New Zealand since prostitution was legalized a few years ago.

I can see what competitors to Vodafone will be saying in their ads "Our network is faster, more responsive, NO LUNAR RELAY LAG!"

I see what you did there. The reference to pocket watches and Jules Verne gives it away.

For less than 80 New Zealand dollars I can listen to FM radio on these two feature phones without using headphones as antennas. https://www.thewarehouse.co.nz... https://www.thewarehouse.co.nz...
You can't fit a decent FM radio antenna inside a phone
Yes, you can. Literally in the last few minutes, I have been listening to FM radio on two feature phones without using earphones as antennas. They both have built-in antennas. https://www.thewarehouse.co.nz... https://www.thewarehouse.co.nz...
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what's for dinner.
By using a similar analogy, the USA's solution is to have one wolf''s vote overrule that of two sheep on what's for dinner?

Knitting stitch instructions remind me of C code. I would tell knitters that programming code works in a similar way.
