My buddy who just died had a couple SWTP machines and at least one HP 1000, the ones where you used toggle switches to load code. His sister is getting a 30 yard dumpster.
Sad, that there's this value versus time curve that goes to zero, and that's when things start to appreciate. But who has 50 years to wait?
I expect that the little speck is the MEMS switch chip, and what they do is have an adaptive diversity algorithm that scans for the best signal from a couple different antennas and picks the best combination. In olden days you'd have to do this with big relays, but now relays fit on a chip thanks to micromachines.
Solar heating is way underutilized. I've had a homemade heater going for 20 years and while it's crude and doesn't get me a lot of temperature, it preheats the 55 degree water coming out of the well to maybe 90 degrees, and I store it in a couple 55 gal drums. My gas water heater is downstream of that, and usually loafs along. Solar DHW is cheap and low-tech. And we live in upstate New York.
Maybe you should read Part 2 sometime. The first thing they say is "be not afraid". Total softies, no smiting. They bring good news, let guys out of jail.
Me, looking at picture on the wall: "Oh, what part of your navy is that?" "That IS our navy."
I worked with DRDC when I was at the USAF Research Lab, which fought for funding with the Army and Navy labs, despite years of trying to force cooperation.
Old joke: "How many people work here?" "About half of 'em."
L band (1.2 GHz or so) is lower bandwidth, which means lower resolution. Those old magnetron radars put out a megawatt dumb pulse and got back a blob half a mile across.
I spent 37 years in the DoD, and I've seen how the Canadian military works, and they're more efficient mainly because they have monolithic forces unlike our separate services, which seem to be fighting each other more than they fight the enemy. When I looked at the levels of management between me and the Commander in Chief, it was like a spider web.
OTOH, do you know the effectiveness rate (from large clinical studies) of the Sympto-Thermal method of natural family planning? That's right, over 99%. It's open source, effective, safe, inexpensive, and nobody's heard of it. Kind of like the difference between Windows and Linux.

Endorsed by the Teletubbies?
...installing LinuxMint and renaming the Menu to Start? Just for old time's sake.
Has anybody looked to see if there's one up there already?
You realize that the Big Bang was proposed by a Papist? Fr. Georges Lemaitre.

And yes, I am a RF engineer.
Last century called, wants its Linux complaints back.

I just saw that Speedfan has a new update, they claim it works on Linux. But I haven't checked it out.

THIS conservative despises that bullshit. And wishes Mr. Obama well in his new microbrewing career.
Does this joke refer to British auto engines, or deep water drilling rigs?
Why? Because he or she doesn't look like you? Isn't that age discrimination?

I'd buy it if it was. Healthier.
There's a perfectly fine fusion reactor 93 million miles away. Its radiation causes cancer, but we've developed methods of safely dealing with it.
Cinnamon explains it all for you.
You'll have to pry my Arduino from my cold hands
"Is it fully compatible with Microsoft products like Windows, Office, Kinect, and mice?"
[hangs head]
I still hate Sony for proprietary stuff like Memory Sticks and Betamax.
