Sections of I-95 have little 'fins' mounted vertically on the concrete barrier between north- and south-bound traffic. They're effective at preventing rubbernecking, and help with the rising and setting sun in your eyes. I couldn't find a picture of them, but they look like 2 ft long green wing-shaped pieces of metal that limit your vision of the opposite lane except directly to your left.
Why does the battery get warm? Internal resistance.
Speakers are linear; how do they demodulate RF energy so it can be heard? Assuming the signal is being imposed on the speaker leads, the demodulation occurs via the output driver transistors - they're either acting as diodes for the RF signal or the final amp's negative feedback circuit is amplifying it.
Amateur radio operators are keenly aware of RFI issues.
Poisoning by the amanitins is characterized by a long latent period (range 6-48 hours, average 6-15 hours) during which the patient shows no symptoms. Symptoms appear at the end of the latent period in the form of sudden, severe seizures of abdominal pain, persistent vomiting and watery diarrhea, extreme thirst, and lack of urine production. If this early phase is survived, the patient may appear to recover for a short time, but this period will generally be followed by a rapid and severe loss of strength, prostration, and pain-caused restlessness. Death in 50-90% of the cases from progressive and irreversible liver, kidney, cardiac, and skeletal muscle damage may follow within 48 hours (large dose), but the disease more typically lasts 6 to 8 days in adults and 4 to 6 days in children. Two or three days after the onset of the later phase, jaundice, cyanosis, and coldness of the skin occur. Death usually follows a period of coma and occasionally convulsions.
Additionally, orellanine poisoning has a longer latent period, but would require a larger dose.
The final type of protoplasmic poisoning is caused by the Sorrel Webcap mushroom (Cortinarius orellanus) and some of its relatives. This mushroom produces orellanine, which causes a type of poisoning characterized by an extremely long asymptomatic latent period of 3 to 14 days. An intense, burning thirst (polydipsia) and excessive urination (polyuria) are the first symptoms. This may be followed by nausea, headache, muscular pains, chills, spasms, and loss of consciousness. In severe cases, severe renal tubular necrosis and kidney failure may result in death (15%) several weeks after the poisoning. Fatty degeneration of the liver and severe inflammatory changes in the intestine accompany the renal damage, and recovery in less severe cases may require several months.
The disulfiram-like toxins are nasty. Drink, and you go into organ failure.
Mushrooms in this last category are generally nontoxic and produce no symptoms unless alcohol is consumed within 72 hours after eating them, in which case a short-lived acute toxic syndrome is produced.
I read your earlier post mentioning that you're an older gentleman getting a late start in computers. Welcome! Please ignore the rantings of immature children here on/. - for every idiot there are at least a hundred reasonable folk that appreciate the trouble you took to develop your video and story.
Amen to your Amen! The person that came up with a SIGNED byte should be cast to void. There are times when you must bit-twiddle - the cussed sign bit makes it a royal pain.
Which reminds me of a pretty 2 book SciFi series by Niven and Pournelle that begins with "The Mote in God's Eye" and ends with "The Gripping Hand". (Wikipedia)(Amazon)
I mean it doesn't have personal information, even if decoded, so what use is it to anyone, except that it identifies you with a big random number like a cookie does.
Huh? You mean all of this personal info (PDF, see page 16) ??? You'll note that encryption is optional, but data integrity via a 1-way hash is mandatory.
The original article was a little light on specifics, but I think the point of the article may have been that the ATM thought it had _only_ fives in it, so a withdrawal of $20 would be 4x $20's instead of 4x $5's.
I have a PetSmart card in the name "Harry Effeau" (Hairy Eff-You, but pronounced "Eff Owe"). I've had checkout people say, "Thank you, Mr. Eff-You!". I gotten some junk mail addressed to him, too.
I realize I may be giving Google a giant benefit of the doubt, but here goes.
What if Google hired DCI and contractually bound them from taking on conflicting work but gave them nothing substantial to do? That would prevent the other side from hiring them, effectively taking them out of the equation.
I've heard of rich defendants hiring the 'big gun' prosecutor's firm for something piddly, thereby preventing the 'big gun' from being able to proscecute them due to conflict of interest.
I tend to remember the story and the cover art, not the title and/or author. The dust jacket description almost never represents the main story points I remember, so I have bought different copies of the same book with different dust jackets. Sad, I know, but true.
How will organizing the shelves help when you're in the middle of a bookstore and are wondering if you already own a certain book? I can't remember all several thousand books I own - having a digital reference on my PDA is invaluable.

I worked out at LEAST 6 hours prior to going to sleep.
Good God, man, how did you keep from dropping DEAD?
This footnote to the Wikipedia article is especially good reading.

I've wondered that, too. I ran across this paper that may help:
Nice professorial-sounding comment. Why, then, am I not addicted to ibuprofen? I take it whenever I have a headache, and it removes the pain.

Most of the electric cars would recharge overnight when the existing grid is under-utilized, so it wouldn't be such a massive impact.

Of course it's my fault if someone takes it, I left the door unlocked. I had a simple way of reducing the changes of theft: lock the door.
If I steal your car by breaking a window, is it still you fault for not reinforcing your windows? Is it still your fault if I cut the roof off?
Your argument fails the common sense sniff test. It is never the victim's fault - only the perpetrator of the crime is responsible.
