Look for the silver lining. I figure it's a nice periodic reminder to break out the Clorox(TM) Lemon Fresh Disinfecting Wipes and polish everything to a fresh-smelling bacteria-free sheen. I'm going to buy more Clorox(TM) Lemon Fresh Disinfecting Wipes today!/This space for rent. Bounty and Windex, perhaps we can come to an agreement?
It works for my allergies, at least. Lasts a couple months. You should see the filter when it's done...very nasty dark shade of gray. I did notice less dust overall.
Use feedback. You can use the microphone to determine the major frequencies and then begin shifting the phase experimentally, and measure the change in amplitude. This way the delay is automatically compensated out.
As he said, it works for reducing the whine, which is primarily going to be one frequency. The whoosh is a whole different story because it's basically noise. With headphones, you can deal with it because you know where the sound is going and can do the cancellation processing in the time it takes the sound to pass the microphone and reach the ear. Doing active cancellation at the site of the noise generation is much more difficult, unless you have a ducted sound path like a car exhaust does. Then you know where the sound is going and can place your microphone up the duct to predict what's coming down the pipe, literally.
Because car repair shops have a bit more of an organized front; unions etc. Plus fixing a car is an easier concept for a crotchety old Congressman to get his head around, as opposed to media fair use.
Not to mention it's an easier concept for Average Joe to understand; he can get his car fixed anywhere instead of paying a premium for dealer service. If a Congressman chooses to vote against a major player, they'll do it for Average Car-Drivin' Joe, not Scattered Linux Geeks Who Don't Want To Dual-Boot To Watch A DVD.
Wanna know what will REALLY give the conspiracy theorists, New Age freaks, etc? "Sedna" is "Andes" spelled backwards! Everyone knows the advanced Inca civilization lived in the Andes mountains, and there are more than enough wacky theories about the Incas involving aliens and whatnot. Oooh...why is an Inuit god named after backwards-Andes...are the Inuits actually Inca refugees? They're close the Pole, too, and there are already crazy theories about a hole to the interior of the earth where advanced civilizations live, and the Eskimos are somehow related....
Yeah, can't imagine a worse name, really. Backwards-spelled stuff is pure gold in the conspiracy community.
I don't know if that's really a fair representation except to understand the scale of some of the areas. Remember, the auction here says there is "NO WATER SEEPAGE!" meaning that this silo is probably kept up much better, and doesn't have the dangerous flooding.
$4,000,000 is awfully expensive though. The ideal use for one of these things is for a group of people to pitch in and share the space; to limit the investment to $100,000 each, you'd have to share it with 40 buyers. It would probably work OK, but 10 buyers/families would be better in my opinion.
Whoa, look at this: with three minutes of typing and thinking, this Slashdotter just solved the problem that experienced engineers and computer scientists worked on nonstop for a year, at the cost of millions of dollars!
It's also cheating yourself out of the future. The reason that these jobs are moving to other countries is the same reason that production jobs moved out.
By running to India, you are keeping yourself in the past. By staying here, you will get to be a part of whatever the next wave is. Probably biotech and nanotech, but who knows. Just put out a shingle, find consulting jobs, and keep an eye out. This vacuum will not remain.
You could extrude the house out of rubber. Actually, if you really want a house that looks like that, you'd probably be better off having rubber walls anyway.
So it will only take a day to build a house, and with no human hands...but then, you still have to build a big gantry crane over the site, and set up the robot. This thing isn't going to do in-wall plumbing and electricity either. There would still be a LOT of work after the robot did its union minimum.
I don't think you looked at that hard enough; I explained how it works with three colors. 33-33-33 is not a problem: First guy adds red and blue, getting 66 (which is even). Then he says green, which is odd and 33. Now, the second guy looks out. If he sees only 32 green, he knows he is green. If he sees 33 green, then he knows he is one of the other colors. If he looks out and sees 32 of one color, then he knows that either there are 32 of one color and 34 of the other, or 33 of both colors...hmm. I guess that was the part I didn't look at hard enough.
I have found that most older hardware is in fact supported. Donated hardware is likely to have drivers out there for it. Depending on the manufacturer's attitude and device popularity, a Linux driver usually appears within two to six months after new hardware appears.

I hope you don't use sweetened mouthwash.
In any case, your recipe sounds like a formula for Lysol.

We really need to hurry up and get all the developing countries up to speed. Gotta get 'em rich and snooty enough so that they won't work for peanuts.

Anything that could result in more engineers being hired is automatically good, from my point of view.
And the penguins would shoot frozen bubbles.
I think "violation" should be replaced by "volition" in the above post. Unless you meant to say that.

That's how I found the page itself on Google, but you can just go to section 2.4.1 to see where it came from.

Crystal clear, but the riddle should add the following: each prisoner is allowed to have a calculator and as much time as they need.

Is that $160 million in Canadian dollars? What's that in US dollars, like, 24 bucks? I'll float you a loan, Canada!

It can extrude some very stylish, custom concrete shoes.

You know what...I think we've discovered the successor to the Vi/Emacs and Gnome/KDE feuds....

Ummm...that's a pretty OS-independent problem there.
