A capacitor connected between D+ and D- lines will block any USB negotiation and data transfer without interferring with the DC levels used to "negotiate" charger capacity.
By international space law states are responsible in full for any liability caused by a launch. Insurance companies are only 2nd tier and obviously a government will refuse to allow any launch that's considered too risky.
There are international laws about rocket launches and insurance. In particular there are no liability limits. And the state that does the launch assumes full responsability.
Insurance companies are partially covered by state insurance but if serious shit happens (foreign city obliterated by out of control rocket) they will go bankrupt and the launching organization will go bankrupt and most likely in jail and the launching state could still go bankrupt or in a war.
Facing these risks imagine how many insurance companies can do that and how high are the fees, especially for new unproven launchers.
We are very good at spending money and producing useless scientific papers.
My experience while working at a state owned research institute:
- Phase X of project needs buying some equipment
- Only 30-60% money available
- Write useless study to justify spending the money
- Move acquisition to next phase
- Repeat until project gets buried
No, in GSM SMS messages are part of the voice network. [...]
Besides the voice network's control channel the short messages can also be transported on the data network which has a much higher capacity even for 2G.
All those phones that normally stay connected to the Internet (pretty much all smartphones and feature phones) can send and receive SMS with little latency and with less congestion.
For the operators short messages are still a cash cow and will remain so even if they reduce prices 10 times.
Place the solar cells on the ground, focus extra light on them with space based mirrors.
Thin metallized plastic foil mirrors are light and can be made much larger than cells for same payload weight.
Unfortunately it can also be used as space weapon.
A reflector (mirror) is a much better solution for increasing the energy delivered to ground.
It can be very thin and light so it can be made very large. It is also possible to focus several mirrors over the same area.
Unfortunately it will still make a pretty good weapon...
Better: don't buy at all.
I have an excess of Nokia, Samsung and HTC chargers, all compatible. I just pick the nearest one..

Rooting SIM Cards
·
· Score: 5, Interesting
Pretty much none of the major providers issue ancient SIMs with DES OTA signing. For the old cards never replaced they may just deactivate them in HLR and wait for subscribers to complain to support.
On the other hand cheap Chinese SIMs are still issued in some countries. The only relief is that some of them don't support OTA at all...
Rockets have failure modes in which they can fall quite far away with plenty fuel remaining.
Launching without an automatic self-destruct system is totally irresponsible. Oh, wait, this is Russia...
Perhaps for safety reasons the self-destruct arms itself later in flight - although getting horizontal should trigger an immediate self-destruct.
Even rocket scientists get lousy - perhaps from hunger?
The system uses Cell Broadcast, not SMS.
CB works pretty much like teletext or CC on TV so in a few seconds all phones in an area can be alerted without any extra network usage.
On the other hand SMS uses paging, channel acquisition and a temporary connection. A flood of short messages can bloxk the network just like it happens on New Year.
In the end the students were given detentions for taking the sodium without asking, and I don't think anything happened to the teacher (who was a great teacher in general). In today's absurd educational environment the teacher probably would have been fired and the straight A students (one of whom is now an aeronautical engineer and the other a doctor) expelled and their future academic careers ruined...
So it's better to not get caught. Worked for me. Every time. 25 years ago...
I can swear that our principal looked straight at me after filling the high school with smoke but he couldn't prove a thing. I even wiped my fingerprints off the bottles - just in case:-)
Got caught by my mom after a rocket explosion left one of my hands completely covered in black soot. That happened after I regained vision, hearing, rummaged through the debris and headed home (too soon after the bang! it seems).
Never found the gerbil "riding" in rockets's nose though...
Plumbing used to be great in the UK £50-60K was possible. Then Europe opened up and Eastern Europeans started cutting into the wages considerably, it still pays better than the median wage, just a lot less than before.
Damn! You stole all the good ones! I have to do all the plumbing and electric works in my house myself because all the "professionals" are full of shit (pun intended).
The difference was that under the Third Reich and Communism your neighbor who did not like you for some reason could also report you and have you put into a concentration camp. Unless there is a huge culture change in the US, where squealers and informers are still looked down upon, that system is not likely to work, because there would not be enough squealers and informers.
Unfortunately it doesn't work that way, informers can report anonymously and then everybody fears everybody. I lived the first 22 years of my life in such a state and I was taught early about things that must not be spoken. It was sad to find out after the Cold War that in the East Germany it was much worse, almost every 3rd comrade was an informer for STASI.
Please don't say "It can't happen to us" because it can - and then it's too late.
For ex-FAT there's an acceptable solution: reformat the card with FAT32 and it will work on both Linux and Windows.
Microsoft tools just refuse to format >= 32GB but the FS drivers accept the structure.

Shorting together data pins prevents iDevices from charging properly. A 10nF capacitor between them is a better choice.
A capacitor connected between D+ and D- lines will block any USB negotiation and data transfer without interferring with the DC levels used to "negotiate" charger capacity.
Pick a government. If you trust the Russians use GOST. If you trust the Japanese use CAMILLA.
Then use all three of them in sequence and hope it would be quite difficult to have them all cooperate to break your encryption.

Considering my age and health - I'll pass.
However, if a cyborg or fully synthetic body becomes possible meanwhile...

We didn't hire even one engineer under 30 - they simply don't have the skills and the patience.

Next move is to install some of the "other" Rheinmetall products on the drones and the grafitti problem will be solved fully automatically >:->
We are currently experiencing heavy scarcity on products. I can't find soap, toilet paper or powder milk.
Been there, done that.
That's not heavy scarcity, unfortunately that's just the beginning.
