I have no idea. I was a student and just wanted to test some of my hardware at cold temperatures. The guys in charge of cryogenics were on vacation but other guys were all like "we know this stuff, we can run the test..." Yeah, right.
In 1994 I had a liquid nitrogen tube break above my head while preparing an experiment for Antarctica. About 30 liters poured on my head in a second. I felt it go instantly trough my clothing, run over me, and on the floor. Everybody else in the lab ran away, but I couldn't because it formed a dense could, I couldn't see anything and I was behind a lot of equipment and cables. Then the floor exploded: I couldn't see what was going on but very loud cracking and banging noises later proved to be the tiles shattering. Fortunately I was wearing security shoes and just stood my ground. After the fog cleared I saw some faces at the door: "Are you still alive?"
Going too deep and particularly up too fast will get you killed. Going underwater is dangerous. More so than being up in the air where the only risk is basically hitting the ground.
The key failing of the cradle and the (actually extremely similar) pole theory is that it does not explain how they moved the far larger slabs that were not square blocks.
So they had different methods for moving different shaped blocks. Big deal.
Well, that is terrifying as ntpd is one of the most complex piece of code I know; and for such a seemingly easy task as setting the time. I worry about the rest !
Why would you use lightbulbs in the 21st century ? A LED lamp will last 10 times longer on the same battery and will also have a much longer lifetime. And there are now LEDs available that are more powerful than the best Maglight, just look for bike lights above 100$.
You can also install Firefox on your smartphone (Android at least) and then install the AdBlock addon just like on the desktop version. Without having to root anything.
Yes. And add to this one little trick that was used in ancient Greece: at the end of the term, hold a little vote on wether or not the leader did a good job.if not, he's executed.
I had the same problem, after rooting it I noticed plenty of Gb of log files, which I deleted. But the phone kept getting slower after each update so I installed CyanogenMod and it got a 2nd lease on life.
They'd have to shoot me in order to do that... As someone who's in pain when an eyelash touches my eye but won't even notice a broken ankle for 3 days...
In the story anybody had to take some automated interview to get any job in government (including running for elections). You figure out quickly that only certain 'types' of people fit the mold, which was intended from the start but had unfortunate side effects. Unfortunately they are not the kind of people who where needed. And it brings about the end of civilization... While some kind of ersatz tech government is still present but everybody starves.
Why do you want to _develop_ on an embedded system ?!? Use a Linux PC for development and then test your code on your embedded platforms. I use Ubuntu for the former, with either buildroot or a direct gcc eabi. If the development platform _must_ be low power, like you develop from an african field with a solar panel, get a netbook.
So, is there a downside to hacking the data on those devices to make it look like you drive like a grandmother, just half a mile on sunday morning to church ?
The problem is that admitting it puts you at a significant disadvantage at debates. If you can no longer summon the (self-)righteous fury your opponent can, not only are you more likely to give in from sheer exhaustion, but people viewing the debate are likely to consider your opponent as dominant and confuse that as being right.
This is why I hate debates. It's not the person who is right who wins, it's the one who flings the poo the farthest. I was aghast to discover those 'debate competitions' in US schools: pick a subject and 2 people, one has to debate pro, the other against. And fuck the truth, let's just get ready to form another generation of lawyers and politicians.
Well, I RTFA and it's bullshit. I was hoping for a way to have a drone follow you automatically by following the tension of the tether, like a kite, but that's not the case here. What I'd like to find is a way to hook up the drone/kite to me while mountain biking / extreme skiing and have it film from above while not having to control it. Does such a thing exist ?

Ha, for years my bank website used 4-digit pins as passwords... Fortunately that changed. After a major break-in I assume.
So is that about the Dorset which were finally wiped out... only 112 years ago by disease ?
Ukraine needs to STOP attacking it's own people and begin TALKING.
And Russia needs to stop attacking other people...
Honest typo in this case, I swear.

did you know systemd is trying to replace ntpd?

Safer ? You don't see the flame, which makes it a liability.

Why don't you fucking release Radio Free Albemuth first, heh ?!?

You are right. Why isn't there a customary retirement age for politicians ?!? WHY ?
It's there for ALL other professions, at least in my country.

Or the much better programming construct 'comefrom'...
Both are wrong and happen only with Python (or Fortran 66)

Shouldn't that be called 'normal' ?
