    Plus, any sort of arabic writing looks scary to westerners.

    I don't know how true that is.

  2. and be great friends in the end

    Trump and Hillary are great friends already. I am just waiting for Trump to get the nomination, then concede the election to Hillary.

  3. I thought it was always a blue and red wire.

  4. I agree with Colin, I would just use the tablet, it can even be cleaned afterwards if it gets grease or oil on it.

    Also, look into a headlamp, they are invaluable when you are doing things with your hands, as it frees up both your hands for the activity rather than holding a light with one hand.

  5. Trump would fall into that category.

  6. Please, name a single product that Apple invented since the original computer that Woz designed and built.

  7. My answer was to not replace the coffee maker and continue buying my pods from Costco (where they are 30-40c per cup).

  8. That is a good point. It fits the definition of what was being asked, and was a pretty shitty thing to do. I think they did it so you could only use one extension cable, and not chain multiple cables together.

    Thank you for suggestions for my next few purchases. Do you have any suggested models of these items?

    Reflow ovens look particularly difficult, most of the ones I am finding are $5k and above, if that is what I have to look forward to, I likely won't add this to my home bench.

    I know I heard this somewhere, but now I can't find anything about it. Supposedly, the limiting factor on the ISS for longevity is the seals between the modules. When those start deteriorating, the station is pretty much over as they can't be replaced in space without depressurizing that section of the station to replace the o-rings.

    Now I can't find where I read about this, I seem to remember it being around the conversation about extending the lifetime past the Russian's selected deadline.

    That isn't what a security profile is.

    If nobody is interested and NASA really is keen on abandoning it, I'd hope that they'd launch a final mission to boost it into a high orbit before doing so so that it doesn't reenter any time soon. There's a lot of good hardware up there.

    Unfortunately the seals between modules are deteriorating, it won't stay pressurized for much longer, and once depressurized, I am not sure how much of the technology will be useful.

    So, you are going to double down on that one. You feel that everything prior to the iPad did nothing to move the technology forward.

    All those devices that predated the iPad had nothing to do with the invention, and only the great Steve Jobs could have invented it. Yeah...reality distortion at work.

    So, it was Apple's invention of the tablet in 2010 that caused the tablet revolution? You are an odd sort.

    For many years, Android tablets existed before the iPad, it was to the point that I knew many people who wondered why Apple didn't release one yet when the announcement came that the iPad was being released. Acting like Apple invented the tablet, and they were a niche product before Apple is what requires distorting reality, but I shouldn't expect anything different from someone with a handle of macs4all than to be an Apple fanboi.
