Cigarette? There was me thinking a fag was a younger pupil acting as a personal servant to a senior boy at a British "public" school. Certainly a far older definition of the word than anything to do with a cigarette, and older than the USA is a country for that matter. Caused my father some problems when he refused to fag and then more problems when he refused to have a fag while in sixth form.
On the other hand you could have just set up a standing order for the payment. I am travelling so can't make a scheduled known payment is the lamest excuse I have ever heard of.
Though apparently in the third world that is the USA you have a system where the bank automatically mails a cheque to the specified payee (like WTF, really!!!!!!!!!). Either way travelling is no excuse for not making scheduled payments. For more than the last decade I have been able to go online with my bank and setup a scheduled one of payment some time in the future. Never really tried to see how far in advance you can go, but it is a couple of months at least.
Given the worst "air accident" in history could be described as a "taxiing problem" (see Tenerife airport disaster) your view that a pilot getting lost on the taxiways is just an inconvenience is utter bollocks.
No it is perfectly possible to transmit electricity from Nevada to New England. Sure you loose some in the process, but no where near 100%
Anyway wikipedia tells me that as of 1980 (which is like nearly 40 years ago), the longest cost-effective distance for direct-current transmission was determined to be 7,000 kilometres (4,300 miles). For alternating current it was 4,000 kilometres (2,500 miles).
Google tells me that Lake Tahoe to Boston is 2940 miles. Just outside the reach of 1980 technology for AC transmission but well within DC transmission, and DC transmission is a lot better 37 years down the line.
So you are basically talking out your ass, and spreading misinformation.
Besides which power generation would never be 100% solar because there is a whole bunch of hydro in existence that is not magically going to disappear.
Worst case scenario is that you would have to build a bit more solar, maybe a 110 mile square instead of a 100 mile square.
In the USA in 2016, 48% for motor gasoline aka what goes in cars, 20% was distillate fuel aka heating oil and diesel fuel, and 8% was jet fuel. That makes at least 74% being burnt for fuel.
Only about 5% of oil is used to produce petrochemicals. Stop using oil for transportation and domestic production more than covers usage in both North America and Europe (even excluding all the ex USSR states). At that point the middle east is largely fucked.
I once red that the 3% of crude oil that is not burnt for fuel generates 97% of the value of the crude oil to the global economy. Basically long after we are done burning oil for fuel there we will be extracting it from the ground to provide the feedstock for the petrochemical industry.
Except that iSCSI sucks compared to fibre channel. There is a reason why FCoE required data centre bridging and if you don't understand why they you are not qualified to comment on the issue.
The price of a DCB capable network is around the same price as a FC network.
Classic nonsense from the ignorant. The BBC is not state funded. It has a Royal Charter to operate and is funded by a license fee which is collected entirely separate from taxes. That is it goes nowhere near the general consolidated fund and if you dont known what that is you don't know what you are talking about. Her Majesty's government only gets involved in renewing the Royal Charter and in setting the licence fee. It is neither state run or state funded, with every government in my living memory complaing it is biased against them, which is a pretty good indication to me that it's not actually biased at all.
Thing is even if you brought all the manufacturing that has gone overseas in the interim back to the USA, you would never get to that number of jobs because much of it is now automated with robots.
In fact I would argue that many of the jobs where lost because of the inability of unions to accept that manufacturing was going to need less jobs.
Apparently not. So did they issue a DMCA notice, is now the million dollar question, because if they did we might finally be able to get some one for falsely declaring they owned the copyright. Especially given they freely have admitted they don't own the copyrights in a follow up letter.
Because CO2 is toxic to humans at that concentration would be a starting point. More specifically high concentrations of CO2 make it impossible to breath out the CO2 from your blood stream irrespective of the level of oxygen.
Plumbers might do that in the Imperial backwater that is the USA. Elsewhere metric pipe is based on external dimensions.
That said the difference between 1/2" copper pipe and 15mm copper pipe is minimal enough that a 15mm compression joint will fit 1/2" pipe, and while you can get 1/2" to 15mm couplers you can happily just use a 15mm coupler to solder/sweat the two together.
On the other hand 22mm pipe and 3/4" pipe are sufficiently different that you do need to use the right fittings or a proper coupler.
True but 18x24mm is the metric dimensions of some dressed imperial size. It's not a preferred unit metric sized piece of timber. which would likely be something like 20x25mm or 15x20mm etc.
Not really it served no purpose by 18/12/1940 at the earliest when Operation Sea Lion was indefinitely postponed and thanks to Ultra we in the United Kingdom where totally aware of that.
At the latest the commencement of Operation Neptune (aka the D-Day landings) on 6/61944 brought to an end any pretence of the usefulness of the position.
You have been able to get puck's for Wacom tablets since forever. Basically a mouse, usually with a bit of plastic and a lens sticking out the top to aid digitizing.
That said tablets are absolute positioning rather than the relative positioning of mice. However I guess that could be fixed with an updated driver.
Server grade equipment has been specified with max air temperatures of at least 35C for over a decade (that's 95F for you metrically challenged third worlders). Modern stuff is even higher rated.
But really in the home just buy a water cooled PC for crying out loud.
With the grid fins doing much of the work of guiding the stage one to the landing pad, you would not be unrrasinable to thing of it as a very very large smart bomb. It really is impressive the accuracy they have these days.
Really, can you point to a single Tier1 server vendor that is using Intel's AMT for lights out management? Certainly it's not HP, Dell, Lenovo or Oracle. Heck the ASRock mini-ITX board on my self-build home server is not using AMT either.
They all without question using shitty Java VNC based crap that requires me to keep a collection of ancient browser and Java versions to interact with them all. The best is the now old but still perfectly functional Sun servers that won't work with any remotely modern version of Java because they don't follow what was best Java practice when they where new and modern versions of Java will have nothing to do with them and there is of course no firmware update to fix it.
Problem is peak power draw occurs when you apply mains to the PSU and it is charging the capacitors the other side of the mains bridge rectifier. For example an IBM TS3500 tape library that draws couple kW tops when running has an inrush current of well over 100A. Turning the tape library on always upset the UPS which immediately decided to drop from line interactive to bypass mode, then a minute later decide to go back into line interactive mode when the power draw was now sane and clearly staying that way. It was not worth the $$$ to get the much more expensive UPS require to handle the tape library in line interactive mode during startup, which only happened during maintenance on the library, which was couple times a year tops.
Never seen a PDU with an easy to trip switch. All had protective covers or require getting your pinky out down the side to turn off. Don't cheap out in PDU's is the lesson there.
I suspect you will find vehicle thefts are at record lows at the moment. In general stealing cars today is much harder than it was 30 years ago, or even 20 years ago. Here are the graphs for the UK, US and Canada to show it.
No do you have to be a genius to turn on parental controls, and restrict all purchases on your Fire tablets to need a password the kids don't have.
Alternatively just don't link a credit card to the dam device. All four of my nephews and nieces have Fire tablets, the oldest two are on their second none of which have *EVER* had a credit card linked to them. All app/in-app purchases have been made via gift vouchers applied to their personal Amazon accounts. It's not rocket science folks.

For good measure a number of the lead CentOS developers are based in the UK.

Put a pair of ski boots in your suitcase, along with a bunch of other skiing stuff required for a two week trip. Otherwise you are correct.

Though there does appear in all three to be a slight uptick in the last few years. Basically car crime is still *A LOT* lower than it was in the past.
