Are those the guys who announced a partnership with GE a decade ago to put fridge-sized fuel cells in people's basements within a year? Man, what a disappointment that turned out to be.
yeah, they helped me get smarter about investing in vapor.
(has anyone figured out how this is different to a ICE? [aside from the operating principle])
It sounds like a fuel cell like Plug Power has been promising to ship next week for the better part of a decade.
I'll buy one once somebody gets it right, I've been holding back on buying a standby ICE generator for now. I'd nearly forgotten I'd invested in Plug Power back in the day - if that's any indication these things don't get from the lab to everybody's home boiler room at any kind of rapid pace.
OK, change my comment to 'repost twice' and then it would be right then. Regardless, transactions are deleted without warning and the request to not do that was rejected.
GAAP isn't meaningful to Mom & Pop businesses, but I don't personally have a current issue, as I ported my system over to PostBooks, which allows adjusting transactions. I understand if LedgerSMB wants to only target GAAP shops, but others are likely to get bitten.
Open source? Accounting? Narcotics?... is this legal?
don't worry, if you've posted a transaction with illegal narcotics on it in ledgersmb and the feds are knocking at your door, just make a minor change and re-post it - the transaction will be deleted without telling you. Closed, wontfix.
Can a camel be stored in containers, air-dropped from autonomous under-radar aircraft and fitted with remote controls, heavy weaponry, and multi-spectral vision?
OK, that would probably get DARPA funding too, but I think the point stands.
How do you suggest to do it in regions where it is naturally humid and cold in winter?
Apparently if you live near a northern seaboard, you shouldn't buy an Apple phone because they say it's not designed for those conditions. I'm just guessing Nokia has thought through these issues due to their non-Mediterranean climate. "Designed by Apple in California" is right on the iPhone label.
The liquid sensor is right to go off, as it should since many electronic gadgets/laptops were destroyed this way.
Either Apple needs to properly gasket the thing / seal the affected components, or be very up front that their products cannot be used in these very common weather conditions.
To expect a phone to fail because it's used in the winter is beyond any reasonable expectations.
I specifically avoid products with such a label because I know that means I can't replace it if it fails.
I agree, it's stupid, and unless they pre-determine the run size it's meaningless, but the general statement above applies to most computer parts if your window is much bigger than a year.
The district would have to get a 50% discount to make Lojack less expensive than simply buying replacements for all machines that go missing.
That's probably less of a discount then they would get on that volume, though that doesn't necessarily make it a better value.
Even easier is to use wget on startup to a webserver with a dmi-derived URL. Give the police department the IP's of the stolen laptops and let them worry about it. Then the 10% of stolen machines that never report in (immediately scrubbed) can be written off.
In this case, installing linux on a friends computer because you support it doesn't qualify.
Of course it does, if that's your agreement with them. Personally, I'll help friends and family who have Linux or Macintosh computers. I've been asked to do Windows support (this is all 'for free', of course) and politely declined, offering to help them find somebody local who can come by and disinfect their machines for them.
Some people will decide his help is more important, some will decide Windows is more important. But they can't unilaterally decide both halves of the agreement anymore than I can buy a Yugo and insist my mechanic friend fix it for me.
Fortunately, however, Joe Sixpack got to decide what technology was better for us (thanks a fukken' lot mate!) Either the "HD" in "HDMI" sounded pretty goddamn awesome to him, or the salesman convinced him that HDMI tvs are bigger, or something. Either way, we're stuck with it now.
Don't worry he's screwed too when everything switches over to DisplayPort.
The other parts aside, depression is largely treatable these days, if the patient is willing and she finds the right doctor. Don't love a doctor so much as to accept failure.
It's possible that many of the problems stem from this. Hard to say, but if this can be solved, then you have more information upon which to make a decision.
You'll have to explain to me how losing a statistically insiginficant number of weapons constitutes proof of government incompetence.
It might not be that. I have the same handgun as the first batch that DHS got. The trigger is pretty bad, I don't really enjoy shooting it. Maybe they were microwaving their iPhones, so to speak.
There is so much streaming stuff out there now, torrents of stuff ripped from streams and paid downloaded movies that optical storage is not really necessary or useful anymore.
I'm not sure where you're from, but in the USA, 25% of the population doesn't even use the Internet.
So the IOC can claim that Lindsey Vonn is made out of ice cream
They'd look at the last 50 years of Lindsey Vonn, see that for 7 of those years she was made off ice cream, and for 43 of those years she was made of milk, and conclude that it'd be a good bet that she's going to be made of ice cream when they want her to be because they've already decided which toppings they're getting.

Oh, so *Doom 3* played like a survival horror game.
In the GP's defense, maybe they finally made that version bright enough so you could see what what going on in the game.

You bring up a perfectly valid criticism of the current system. The "pre-existing" conditions loophole MUST be closed.
I hope so. If it is, I'll immediately cancel my insurance* policy and re-purchase it when I have a major medical condition.
* For some values of 'insurance'.

You are actually wrong....

t might've been a camera angle that they didn't use live, as I don't remember seeing this on TV
correct, I was watching NASATV too and waiting for a nice supersonic plume, but we only got a modest waver on the broadcast camera.
One of the recent Shuttle launches had one of those nice condensation clouds around the shockwave.
Strongly seconded. This book taught me to not write c with java syntax.

Do you really want your OS taking on the overhead of RAID?
Yes, it's well-debugged, very low CPU (especially in a multi-core world), and it's portable across controllers.
Desktop motherboards with hardware RAID 0/1/0+1 are easy to find and cheap.
Because most of them just pass the job onto an OS driver.
How many desktop users actually have the four hard drives necessary (at a bare minimum) for 0+1 anyway?
RAID-1 is the major win for availability. It even improves your average seek time.
They just specced a camel!

What matters to me is whether the projection is bright enough for my audience to see the projected images clearly.
The Microvision one is 10 ANSI lumens. No zeros lost there either.
I wish they'd just get to projecting the cell phone display onto my retina so I could have a smaller phone with a higher res display.
