Doh, the american Sicilians, they forgot the millennial tradition of growing the spaghetti in the vast plantations of Po valley, to be further processed at a tremendous scale by Italian industry. Of course, the fact they haven't paid attention to vacheval education didn't help them either (and caused the current AGW situation).
Convection - it's not like the heat extracted from the tent will start forming some kind of ponds outside, is it?
Now, look, I know what I'm saying is sound from the physics perspective. I also know that the problem is the cost (for the PV mainly), this is what it makes the solution impractical.
I'm betting at a max to a 30 centigrade between the hot and cold side. Say a 25-27C on cold to a 55-57C the hot side - not that hot to burn one when briefly touched.
In regards with the increased temperature outside - that's an opened system, with the convection eliminating most of it. Anyway, the balance of incoming energy is the same: the Peltiers are powered by PV-es, this the total heat eliminated cannot be higher than the incoming solar radiation.
Peltier elements are not only expensive, but not very effective at cooling areas.
Not that expensive (certainly lot less expensive than the PV - I reckon these are the bottleneck).
It is going to be expensive anyway - you are fighting 1kW/sqm incoming flux, with an outdoor temperature that makes a heat transfer against entropy a pain - with water not quite easily spared.
Mount the Peltier elements outside the tent, with the cold side on the tent canvas (wasn't it evident?). Have the canvas wet to have a better heat conductivity.
umm no. it wouldn't.
I'd rather have the dust of the flag that went to the moon, then a piece of flag that never did.
The eternal question. Is it better to live life or just survive it?
Now, here I can see a good reason for not wishing to have either of them. If you choose to live your life and unless you are one of the 3 that landed on the Moon, owning any of them doesn't bring any plus to your living. If you just survive through your life, owning any of them won't help you.
I guess owning memorabilia is for the inbetweeners (which have they vanity living for them).
Another piece of cloth that was made from material that was grown on the same field as the one that produced the material for the flag! Bid starts at $10000
Why would you want to own The most underachieving part of the flag
It's like being proud of the child that never left home.
If is the only child that is still alive... would this change your perspective? (you know, nylon isn't quite renowned for sustaining UV and cosmic radiation + over 100 degrees variation of temperature. I expect that the flag now on the moon is just dust now).
“They were throwing it all in the trash,” Mr. Moser recalled of the remnants in a recent interview, “so I picked it up out of the trash can, mounted it and had Neil Armstrong sign it.”
Not everyone agrees that this constitutes tool use, says the article, in part because the "tool" isn't something that the fish can actually manipulate.
Otters whack shellfish against rocks they put on their stomachs while they float on the surface. They have hands to carry the rock around and need to breath air. Fish don't have hands but can breath underwater. Seems like the fish adapted. What would you do without arms and legs?
I'd download an iPhone app (there is an app for that, isn't it?)
A fish beat the crap out of a clam by hitting it against a rock? I'm not quite sure this qualifies as "tool" use. Now, grabbing the rock, and beating clam with it, or using it to pry open the clam... that would sound more "tool-like."
What you suggest would not be a sign of even proto-intelligence.
Have you ever tried to swing a hammer under water, while holding the hammer with your mount only? Neither had I, I'm not that stupid.
The daily minutiae of our digital lives are so culturally valuable that the Library of Congress is on the eve of opening a research archive of public tweets.
Now, now... what??? Is LoC after some extra budget for archiving all the crappy twits? ('cause filtering them will be much more costly).
Games are spread amongst an incredibly diverse range of tastes (unless you're a PC gamer, then your taste is just shoot-em-ups...;) ), there is no 'only on smartphones' in the future of the video game market. The concept of it even becoming a majority of the marketshare is far-fetched. It's like predicting the death of pizza because cheeseburgers became available cheaply on every city block.

Microsoft and bot net operators... sorry, I am lost. Where are the good guys that were mentioned?
They're characters of the legends and folklore... the mention was ""To say that it can't be done underestimates the ability of the good guys," (like in "the abilities of the good guys must never be underestimated" they are demi- or full-time Gods or at least Spiderman).
A more apt joke would have been, "Who needs game consoles now that Facebook has games?"
That's what I was implying. I just picked the worst example (in my opinion) of Facebook games I could find.
Really, all they're saying here is that the hardware platforms that iterate more frequently will eventually outpace the ones that hold still for the better part of a decade, which is no surprise, given advances in miniaturization and power efficiency. And that effect does matter, because contrary to your analogy, not all mobile games are simplistic and mindless click-fests. A small but increasing number of them are decent titles put out by capable teams who can produce games with solid gameplay that stand up well against their console counterparts.
I got also this gist too. But as you noted (by your reference to Gen8 console), that shouldn't be a reason to throw mud at Nintendo because still wants no part of it [it = smartphone gaming].
why? So I can save a few bucks on some shit PCB's while giving the knockoff capital of the world the blueprints?
If you are real maker, than 't'll be more important to you to make your stuff that who is getting the money. And if nobody else (but the Chinese) is making what you need, you aren't a real maker if you drop the idea just because somebody may get richer.
I know... just teasing. Even the reference to the too-tightly-controlled Love Parade 2010 doesn't mean I think of Germany as a country were such incidents happens on regular basis and nobody cares.

Water will help as well... drink it plenty.

Somebody wouldn't settle for less than $100K for a scrap of cloth that almost was sent to the moon?
I'll settle for a much more reasonable $10K for a scrap of cloth from underwear resembling the underwear worn by Neil Armstrong.
Just make sure is is authentically autographed before and you may find buyers.

</small_dose_of_sarcasm>
they are making bad boards and metal slugs fake chips, I think I will be fine
That's a better reason than "won't use them, their are going to make money of me"
How come common-sense is still manifest? And so often? I've seen like 2-3 times it this year already, this must stop.
I have a very hard time with new spoken languages. This is a diagnosed disability: auditory comprehension learning disorder.
Will there be accommodations or will I and people like me be tossed aside?
Aside? No, that'll be a waste - there's always soilent green.

Should I understand that you agree with the OP when saying: "Being afraid of what can fit into a palm is idiotic"?
Really? A bomb... that's a danger to people on the street... yet small enough to fit in the palm of one's hand?
A charge probably twice the one that fits on one palm can penetrate 650 mm of armor
They criticize pirates but can't keep their hands out of the booty.
Making them privateers outside the bound of their letters of marque, then? I say... hang them.
It's perfectly controlled.
My bad, a confusion... I intended to make a reference to Love parade 2010
And that wasn't the type of party I meant...
I know... just teasing. Even the reference to the too-tightly-controlled Love Parade 2010 doesn't mean I think of Germany as a country were such incidents happens on regular basis and nobody cares.
