I might add that there are hot spots inside the oven (due to standing waves), and you need to move the food or the waves (using stirring vanes, which are usually hidden), to more evenly heat food.
I am a microwave engineer, although I usually limit my work to radar transmitters.
Serious answer: it's a long story, but it's like how a organ pipe turns a stream of air into an oscillating one, except using electricity instead of air. I left out the part about thermionic emission and crossed-field magnetic and electric fields, but you can read that in many radar textbooks, like "Microwave Tubes" by A. Scott Gilmour.
I have some friends a couple miles outside of a city in Ontario who were paying over $200 for satellite internet, and finally said to heck with it. Where is wimax for these people? They might be able to turn their dish at the local Tim Horton's or motel and steal theirs, though...
A couple millimeters of silicon cells is not going to weigh your car down much, but you need glazing over it, presumably coated polycarbonate. And you're not going to get a lot of mileage out of that, if you do the math (left as an exercise to the student).
I was in the mountains of Uganda last summer and brought a few Linux CDs just in case I found somebody who could use them. I visited a school in Sipi Falls and talked to the "computer teacher" who took them gladly. They had a whole roomful of XP-era machines and flat screens, which was impressive. A classroom full of adults was learning basic computer literacy. (And I mean, basic, not Basic.) I asked what they were going to do with their knowledge? Well, nothing really, he said, most people don't even have electricity, much less being able to pay for internet (over the cell phone). But there's always the future.
Lately we got a Nielsen rating diary and our entire TV viewing for the week was 40 minutes total of news and 2 hours of Downton Abbey. Our antenna brings in some 30 channels (including the subchannels). We've never had cable TV (40 years) on the principle that we pay to have trash hauled away, why should we pay to have it delivered.
If you put the XP background on it, they probably wouldn't notice it wasn't Windows. Interestingly, the Tails distro has a "XP" mode that copies the whole desktop, icons, start button and all. That would be a great prank...
People who get a modern OS for free are not going to pay for Office or Photoshop, they're going to use Gimp and LibreOffice. Only suckers who are convinced that free = worthless pay for them. Or have the boss pay for them. So, it wouldn't pay MS to make an Office for Linux. And if they did, it would mean Linus won, as he said.

All those snakes and mosquitoes will be moving north, though.
...it would have installed Windows 8.
Finally, somebody got it right.

No, sorry.

They have the New York Times, MSNBC and Fox News now, so HAARP is redundant.

I'll stick with Upstate NY.

...that the more you spend on schools, the worse your results.
Find the sweet spot.

Supercapacitors can recharge lots faster. Right now they're limited in power density, so there's lots of research ramping up on that. Stay tuned.
I bet I still have some of the little red, green, and blue stickers. Let's see, K, Q, X was the command to exit...
Funny, I just threw out one of those hole punches. It hadn't gotten much use lately...
So folks learn LO on their own time? Then it's a win-win if the business dumps 365 and installs LO.
Wouldn't the same logic apply?

Take a walk in the woods with your kids.

Last week I saw a new Kodak scanner that would do a hundred pages in a couple minutes. Zip, zip, zip. Both sides, nice quality. I was impressed.
Just sayin'.

So? You can open PDFs in LibreOffice. And for compatibility, I think LO is better for opening Word 2003 docs than the new Word.
So get a rolling release if you're too lazy to type "sudo apt-get upgrade" every 3 years.
New York.
No, the real, New York, where we keep the mountains, trees, cows, and stuff. And we have Starbucks, but no place is perfect.

The car I want is open source.
