    Why on Earth did TFA call it 'illegal and dangerous'?

    It's only dangerous to the drone. There are no humans up there to crash into.

    The US has no problem trading a few prisoners to secure the release of their operatives. Surely they can find 6 Germans in US prisons.

    What is wrong with storing variables in the data section? Isn't that where you're supposed to keep data?

    In my dealings with the FCC, I've found them to be anything but an honest broker.

    There's a one-bitten-twice-shy issue though.

  22. Re:the real question is... on Nathan Myhrvold's Recipe For a Better Oven · · Score: 1

    >My ideal oven would be able to do that plus have easily-maintainable steam injectors for bread baking. Plus a good way to ensure heat doesn't build up in the kitchen during the Summer.

    Yes. I looked at a Philips oven that did steam injection, but it was tres expensive and a compromise on other things.

    I also want feedback. Let me plug in a temp sensor probe and set it to do a PID thing. So you could for instance maintain a set temperature in a liquid, or cook until meat reached a temperature. We hack these things manually today with thermometers, but the control isn't as good with a human in the way.

    >not counting salamanders

    What the hell is a salamander? I've heard the term, but never coupled with an explanation of what it is. The word 'salamander' suggests lizards, which I don't think have much relevance to Western kitchens.

    Steak? The OP talks about a better oven design - who cooks a steak in an oven?

    This is how many people do it.

    > BTW *you do not want* a truly rare steak (125F). It is inedible.

    You have to hang it, first, to just before it rots. It's tough to get a steak that way in the USA.

    This.

    The extent to which the FDA makes US food crappy is ludicrous. Cheese, milk, cream, meat, yogurt, kefir, sausages, beef, eggs, I could go on. They all are subject to bizarre, counter logical regulations that do nothing to improve quality, flavor or safety.
