I think, as a condition for the airlines to sue for missed flights, they should no longer be allowed to overbook. Otherwise, they're setting up a situation where they can sue all the passengers they didn't have seats for.
The battery's purpose isn't power generation, it's load smoothing, like a capacitor in electronics. It has to be able to provide (or absorb) a lot of power in a very short time (milliseconds to seconds) to keep the grid in spec; solar can't do that, fuel-powered generators respond too slow, etc.
So even if they built a solar/salt power station, they'd still need the battery.
I've found that children enjoy the base game but don't have the attention span to do really mind-expanding things with it. I'm 49, play modded Minecraft a lot, and find the technical and artistic challenges very enticing and involved. It's like any other inspired-crafting hobby - a box of legos, a palette of paints, a bag of ICs, a block of wood - you get out of it as much as you put into it. While a 10 year old can build a small lego kit, there are groups of adults who reproduce whole movie scenes with them. A child's fingerpainting and Bob Ross's paintings come from the same basic colors. And where would technology be if someone didn't put all those electronic parts together in new and interesting ways?
If you look at an open-ended opportunity and only see a limited outcome, is the problem with the opportunity, or the person who doesn't see it?
One could argue that an inkjet printer is thus a CNC extruder, then. Where does it end? We make up words to usefully cover categories and describe concepts, and sometimes those categories and concepts overlap. "CNC", "extruder",and "milling machine", are just too generic to be used in some cases, and too specific to cover the wide variety of CNC additive manufacturing devices, so "3D printer" was added to the mix to specifically cover all slice-based additive manufacturing devices, whether they be extruder, glued powder, film exposure, or sintering based (and possibly other types).
So, there are machines that are both CNC extruders and 3D printers, but not all CNC extruders are 3D printers, and not all 3D printers are CNC extruders.
Also note that a CNC laser is not a CNC milling machine. In fact, the CNC milling machine owners get huffy if you call a CNC router a "CNC milling machine". Perhaps the phrase you were looking for is "CNC subtractive manufacturing device" ?
I've got four monitors (one is 2560x1600) on a single Radeon HD 6870 and it does everything you want. Running Fedora 17 with the proprietary ATI drivers, FVWM2, with a single desktop and 3D hardware acceleration. I tested F19 with Gnome and free drivers too.
I use connectbot on my droid2 - physical keyboard, wifi/cell (802.11n WPA2 on my home network), ssh, and alt-lock for number-heavy strings. Slide it closed and you still get an on-screen keyboard for quickies. Connectbot can set up a tunnel too, so add AndChat for IRC through the tunnel.
I had that desire too, but my electronics skills were up to an overkill DIY solution... http://www.delorie.com/electronics/powermeter/ I record watt-seconds for each of 64 circuits once per second to a linux server.
In addition to Kicad (already mentioned) there's also gEDA and PCB (http://www.geda.seul.org/), which run on Linux, Unix, MacOSX, and Windows. There are even some geda-designed boards in space:-)
In quake3, I want the bots to play better if I start scoring higher than them. I.e. the lowest scoring bots try harder, the highest scoring bots ease up. That way, all the bots play at *my* level, regardless of what kind of a day I'm having.
The alternative is to quit the level and restart it with different settings.
Not a HOWTO, but here are the key bits. Substitute your own IP addresses (or whatnot) as needed. 161 is the router itself, 165 is the proxy, 172 is one of the logged machines.
insmod ipt_REDIRECT # Redirect the request to the proxy (one of these per PC) iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i vlan0 -p tcp -s 192.168.1.172 \ --dport 80 -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.1.165:3128 # Make sure the proxy's response comes back to us so we can mangle it iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o vlan0 -s 192.168.1.160/27 -d 192.168.1.165 -j SNAT --to 192.168.1.161 # Make sure we can forward these packets iptables -A FORWARD -s 192.168.1.160/27 -d 192.168.1.165 -i vlan0 -o vlan0 -p tcp --dport 3128 -j ACCEPT
At my house, all outgoing traffic passes through an OpenWRT firewall, which redirects all web traffic to my caching proxy. It logs all accesses. I get reports. If I see something "unusual", I bring my kids in and have them explain it. I TALK TO THEM. It's useless to try to mechanically block their access, but if they know that EVERYTHING they do IS monitored (and they do), they seem to act responsibly.
Technology is not a substitute for good parenting, but it can be a useful tool for it.
I've had modems, dsl, frame relay, and now T1. At my house, the T1 is more reliable than the electricity, and I can use the full bandwidth in both directions all the time, with low latency. That was not the case with anything else.
The service is great too. After this last storm (no phones for 40 hours), we got dial tone and T1 back long before we got long distance calling back, and even before we got electricity back. This is in addition to the ISP monitoring the line and calling me when something happens to it.
(and for the record, mine is the four-wire true T1 type, which bonds locally to a channel on a T3 the ISP owns, for transport to their main office)
No, if it were written by a man it would read "The chart features in OpenOffice are like a mystery-lover's dream vacation: a huge, mysterious old house with lots of long halls, secret bookcases, dark closets and creaky doors that, when you peer behind them, reveal hidden power tools."
i can modify a schematic on the capture program and have the changes reflected automatically on the PCB design, and viceversa.
Funny you should mention that, we were recently pondering how to do that. If you've got ideas or experience with annotation files, we could use the help;-)
PCB seems to be powerful, but i simply cannot get accostumed to it's interface.
As one of the few people actively working on PCB, I can only say this: If you don't tell us what you don't like, we can't make it better. As with all open software, YOU the user are an important part of the development process, even if all you do is [constructively] complain.
Recently, I added user-customizable menus. Have you tried changing the UI to do what YOU want? That's why I added it.
My largest rocket, which is about a pound at launch and almost 8 feet tall, only has 0.25 lb of propellant in it - and that's with three black powder engines. With composite engines, about half the propellant mass is needed for the same thrust. 0.9 lbs of composite propellant would be about a J engine, which requires level 2 certification to buy/launch anyway.

Yeah, that's why it died out back in the 80's shortly after it was invented.
Lawsuits are pending for manufacturers of cell phones, walkie talkies, regular phones, paper, pencils, pens, and tin cans with string between them.
So what would happen if they held the olympics, and nobody showed up?
Minecraft requires java, yes, but it runs just fine on Linux.

Our town doesn't have a high school, and the elementary/middle school is very overcrowded. I'd start there, and spend extra to get the best teachers.

I think the main reason Minecraft is so popular with kids is exactly because it's a game that most parents can play with them.
FTFY - I play Minecraft with my teenage son all the time.

Puerto Rico is part of the USA. It's not foreign drugs they're talking about, its *domestic* drugs.

You can report THAT you got income without disclosing HOW you got the income. List it under "anonymous donation" or something.

PCB has autoplace, autoroute, DRC, and trace optimizers. The latest version is on sourceforge: http://pcb.sourceforge.net/
