I really dont understand why they havnt used solar panels to cover the bodywork yet. Add this to the breaking power charging, A car that can drive and charge at the same time, makes more sense to me.
Solar panels on the car could Increase the range, even if its only 5-20% and a free "low charge" rate when parked, cant go wrong. Just wish they would spend less time on carbon fiber, more time to R&D for solar body panels.
Get coding. Make it a simple MP3 player, or, expand on it until your hearts content.
Qt is great for making quick apps and learning a bit of C++ in the process. The rest of time, you'll be learning "Qt functions", not a bad thing, as it pretty much contains everything you'll need to make a cross platform GUI program. Qt is quick to learn, very simple compared to most things out there.
If you prefer Visual Studio, or prefer more of a challange (and care about resource use of your program), use that with C++ and MFC, or C if you like.
Think simple, start simple then expand on your project if your enjoying it. This way, you'll learn quicker and get satisfaction out of doing it.

It wont be long before game devs code cheats into the builds themselves. Once done, enables a new revenue stream: - "Unlock level 2" = £2.99 - "More game time" = £0.99 - "Overpowered Armor 2.0" = £5.99
For its time, this was a mini PC done right. But now, 5 years later on (when the tech should be improving) i'am yet to see a device that will replace it.
Have i simply been missing the mini PC tech scene. Is there a device similar to this? In the mean time, i'll keep waiting for someone to do the mini PC Justice.
Not this one. Iam severely short sighted. This is the only website i can read with my glasses off. Great for when my glasses break, bad for my mouse wheel and middle finger.

All devices which require specific hardware controllers always become "specialist" products (firewire). All devices which are cheap and utilize existing CPU cycles become "mainstream" products (usb).
If only they could make a separate, standardized hardware controller. I dunno, similar to Audio/Video which powers and processes the required area on a dedicated chip. USB is close, but if we could replace the CPU load to a dedicated hardware controller, we'd be laughing.
They are not going to put back in the original code. They will build a proper portability layer. Just like what was done for OpenSSH.
For which they want funding, before they will begin that work.
Let me put it to you as simple as possible, from their point of view: "we waited for the heartbleed issue to be public. Then used it for our advantage" "we removed 90k lines of code and removed support for multiple os's" "we now require funding, before we carry on work"
I smell money grabbing bullshit to be honest. Remove 90k lines of someone else's code and demand money? Finish the job, or dont bother starting it.
the project has already removed 90,000 lines of C code and 150,000 lines of content. The project further promises multi-OS support once they have proper funding and the right portability team in place
Remove current code for Windows and VMS support = check. Wait for funding to code in Windows and VMS support back in = check
Pull the other one guys, honestly. Anyone can remove code from someone elses project and make it more "optimized". The whole point is to either replace that with newer code, not ask for money to put it back in. Your basically stealing the work of OpenSSL and using the current heartbleed as a goat to get funding for your project.
Honestly, its projects like this, the ones that promote bad practice, which really fu** me off. Welcome to one of the many pointless projects of 2014, sponsored by some kid who just left highschool.
AMD Chips are great at converting electricity to heat. I tried an AMD laptop, and that thing ran so hot at IDLE, I thought it would burn my house down
I'am running a FX-6300 CPU. Dont get me wrong, for the low cost it was such a pleasing purchase, but now i regret it.
The heat, still a issue that plagues AMD: - I run my CPU at 3ghz (instead of 3.5ghz), turbo mode off. = 35-45 'c at load - If i run at stock 3.5ghz and all the bells and whistle on = 60-65'c at load.
60'c, although "acceptable" to AMD and the CPU, isnt for me. I want my CPU to last a little longer than a few years. I think the issue is with the stock heatsink and conductivity. As soon as the cpu is under load, the fan speed increases to max but feels like its doing bugger all. The funny thing, the compound on the bottom of the heatsink looked like arctic silver 5 to me lol.
If AMD want to seriously think about high end. They need to take some tips from Intel and learn how to deal with heat dissipation. To the point of actually providing a half-decent heatsink that's fit for purpose. And i'am pretty sure the top metal plate on the cpu is another cause of bad heat conduction.
Heartbleed was introduced into the OpenSSL software library by 31-year-old Robin Seggelmann, a Frankfurt, Germany developer who says that it was likely introduced while he was working on OpenSSL bug fixes around two years ago. “I was working on improving OpenSSL and submitted numerous bug fixes and added new features. In one of the new features, unfortunately, I missed validating a variable containing a length.” The error was also missed by a reviewer responsible for double-checking the code, “so the error made its way from the development branch into the released version,” Seggelmann said.
Cost to fix? free. Cost to roll out? 1 trillion dollars, because the companies like to milk every excuse in the book.
To cut down costs of replacing those batteries under warranty.
As long as the car isnt stored in a garage for weekend usage. "standard" usage will reach about 2/4 years before the degrade in mileage and performance warrants a replacement. As a bonus, cut costs to customers outside of those warranties.
This is just Tesla's way of saving some money, 8 years life expectancy on a battery is high risk and they know it.

So in other words, To exclude a website from Privacy Badger, all a website needs to do is:
- Copy and paste https://www.eff.org/files/dnt-... to https://mywebsite.com/.well-kn...
Give it a few weeks, let the advert sites copy and paste that file, plugin will be useless.

Xbox 360 controller:
- over 8 years old
- sustained puppy chewing on the cable
Still works a treat!
I'am not a fan of MS, but i'll give them due credit on the xbox 360 controller, its solid.
If you like something, why would you want to sue them?
Technically, clicking "unlike" removes you from the EULA.. You are now longer a end user.......
