Lead shot is banned here. I think the replacements are steel (cheapest, but much less dense), bismuth, or uh.. some sort of tungsten compound...
tin whisker problem seems overstated to me... I fix electronics for a living and am yet to see any. (mind you a lot of the stuff I work on is old and leaded).
When you drink vodka is there a layer of water, and a layer of ethanol? Of course not, it's miscible.
We always add alcohol to our gas tanks in the winter so that the water (that has shown up via condensation, etc) doesn't freeze, and is somewhat more miscible with the gas.
The alcohol shouldn't pull any water into the tank, as it should be a sealed unit unless it's from the cave era. (you'd lose a lot of gas by evaporation, also).
Fridges use induction motors - no brushes. This provides high reliability and lower noise, at the cost of weight (which is pretty irrelevant in a fridge).
Part 15. I don't think you'd get fines unless you continue to operate once being made aware your device is defective and causing interference, unless it's something blatant (transmitting on licensed/reserved bands, excess power, unregistered device that doesn't meet the regs, etc).
If it's something that is only bothering one HAM operator, FCC is pretty pokey. If it's interfering with big telcos, or the army, or airplane communication, etc, I imagine the response is pretty swift and somewhat more brutal.
TFA says:
Henderson said that in most cases where an external source of interference is located, the owner of that source generally complied and switched it off when made aware of the effect it was having on mobile communications.
Cases where the owner refuses are referred to the ACMA, and large fines can result.
So that would be 80Wh, or more properly 288kJ. So it could run a 60W bulb for a little more than an hour... (well, discharge rate affects the actual capacity - higher rates of discharge will reduce the total output to less than that). So this thing is more inline with a laptop battery for capacity.
288kJ happens to be roughly equal to about 8ml of diesel, just for fun... So even with the poor efficiency of combustion engines, there's just no comparison.
Often it seems outfits have fabs in western countries, but then send the bare dies off to the orient to be packaged (in epoxy, with pins and stuff- wire bonding the pins to the die, etc. I don't mean onto reels or into tubes / trays, though I imagine that is done at the same place).
On my ancient Audi, there was a switch on the back of the instrument cluster. +5, +10, -5, -10% calibration for the fuel economy meter.
I'd imagine modern cars have a calibration factor in EEPROM somewhere, possibly adjustable through the OBD port. Suppose it depends on the car, though.
Quick google shows this is the case on modern audi/vw, no idea about other marques, though...
During 72-75 or so, they added most of the emissions control systems, and removed lead from gas. So they had to reduce compression, giving some power losses.
However, they also made the horsepower measurement system a little more realistic during this time, so that accounts for a lot of the loss.. prior to 72 or 73, they did the testing on the engines with no/different accessories, different headers/exhaust, etc.
GCC does ARM and AVR... which is all I use now, because of that fact.
Never going back to the dark ages of closed source compilers and PIC, some of the moto stuff. I did use SDCC with 8051 back then, but I recall it being a little rough. Perhaps it's improved, now.
The principal chemicals in groundwater and soil are three pesticides, ethylene dibromide (EDB), 1,2-dichloropropane (DCP), and 1,2-dibromo-3-chloropropane (DBCP), which were used as soil fumigants, as well as the solvent carbon tetrachloride.
Doesn't look like it was the fertilizer that caused the problems, fertilizer company or not.
Old military electronics always had wires laced (maybe they still do this, haven't been into any new equipment).
It's laced with a heavy waxed cloth, similar to extra wide tooth floss. Originally cotton, probably something synthetic now. There would be loops every inch or two down the wire bundle, connected to each other. I'm having a hard time explaining that for some reason.
He also happens to be a bigshot lawyer, particularly fond of class action suits.
He has been battling with the tax authorities for years, on and off. There's been some irregularities with him in the past, but news of his $2M account is... interesting, indeed.
"Often?" None of the modern cars I've owned have had a mechanically-driven fuel pump: It is always in the fuel tank (with the fuel), with wires going to it, connected to some manner of switch or relay. (I've owned antique cars with mechanical fuel pumps, but they don't count for any meaningful quantity of "often.")
Diesel. Even modern ones are mechanically driven... Which is over half of vehicles in some places, which I'd call 'often'.
Maybe centuries old traditions of religion and family life are not based on stupid superstitions as many people educated beyond the level of their intelligence seem to think these days, but on the experience of what works and what doesn't that evolved over many centuries?
Jesus christ... I don't even know where to begin. Not sure how shit like this gets a +5.
Oh boo hoo. The big bad communists made us spend all our money on weapons.
Then, after the boogeyman went away... the US still spends more money than anyone else, in fact an amount similar to everyone else combined.
Who will you blame for that?
Under the terms of the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty, the world's only ABM system has been deployed around Moscow.
Is that supposed to be a bad thing? The soviets pick their most populous city to defend - Meanwhile, the US picks a base in the middle of nowhere, North Dakota. Need I remind you who left the treaty, also.
All CR2032's do, brand is irrelevant... 20mm dia x 3.2mm thick. hence 2032.
Lots of embedded boards, laptops, use them like this - heatshrunk and on wires - as opposed to socketed as on a normal motherboard. (presumably to save board space...)
He killed the existing OSes, and bet it all on windows phone. Which was a losing proposition, apparently. He was of microsoft stock, which leads people to believe it was malice causing this decision.
Prior to that there were two 'smart' platforms:
Maemo - Linux based, still fairly infantile but showed a lot of promise.
S60 (symbian) - kind of long in the tooth, long lineage. Designed ground up for phones.. great battery life. Nokia had recently opened most of it up, and was moving to to support Qt applications, which was going to make things easier. The most recent release was supposed to be quite decent, from what I've heard.
Anyway, then elop announced they're both dead, and no one develops for dead platforms...

Which sounds pretty similar.
And FYI, conservatives do not hate fact based policy. That would be the socialists.
Typical conservative 'fact', right there.
Back when I quit using windows, adobe had one, even if you only had acrobat reader, IIRC.
Countless others that don't come to mind right now, though. Uh. java, for one.

I thought it was still the FS of choice for flash drives, because no journaling, so less writes.
Though I think you can run EXT4 journal-less now, as an option.

Sounds like the system is working as it is supposed to. Inspectors found problem, problem will be rectified.
Now had they not found anything, and it fell apart like that bridge a few years back, then that's news.
The facility doesn't sound terribly 'secret', not any more at least...
I see your E72 as a primary phone, and raise you my E71. Getting a bit long in the tooth at this point, though...
To me, hardware keyboard, world class reception, and a battery that lasts a week is more important than most other stuff.
I've been considering getting an android for random computing on, though. (But I'd keep the nokia for calls and text).

You say that like 6+ layer motherboards aren't the norm.
Cartridge is the whole deal too. The (often) brass part is the casing.
Soviets had polymers too... usually bakelite, though.
