As the former road manager of several well-known bands (in the 1960's) I can state with absolute confidence that the reason we bought valve amps (or copied the well known Vox design ourselves) was that they did not blow up if overloaded. Early transistor amps were not very robust, and typically burned out during gigs.
*AFAICR Vox, Fender, Orange, etc all uses the exact same circuit - the valves and transformers came from different suppliers, and some of the metal work was a different shape.
They employ a few guys with piloting skills and box cutters and we spend trillions
I strongly advise you not to come to the UK, as you obviously have "information which could be of use to terrorists" - an arrestable offence in the UK.
(I strongly suspect that common sense falls into this category, which explains why so many people in the public eye haver so little of it!)
You might want to tell people how to use "Safely Remove USB device"
I have supported OpenOffice since i was Star Office, and LibreOffice today, and I have never ever seen this. We move files between all sorts of machines all the time
I support what others have said - there is far more problem moving between different versions of Word.
Ten minutes work at least - certainly as fast as setting ten clocks, and you only do it once! I set up the ntp servers in my house when I moved in, three years ago, and have not had to do any maintenance since.
RTFM: ntp allows devices to be set to do 'read-only' queries, considering themselves to be at a lower stratum than anything else. The top stratum of the hospital should not respond to adjustment from unknown devices either.
If you don't know how to configure ntp, leave it alone, or go home and practice on your home Linux network. (Haven't got a home Linux network? What are you doing here?)
However, I have a phone which allegedly uses network time, and somehow still gets it wrong. Its about five years old, so I am guessing it accesses a time server that is off-line due to a botched implementation, but surely the phone-network time is delivered using a phone protocol and does not depend on NTP?

Based on the evaluation of the effect of ths in the UK, it will mean people divide into two camps:
Those who pay over the odds to buy a deal for a large amount of data they dont need, to ensure they dont exceed their budget limit.
Those who are too terrified to use the service at all for fear of "bill shock".
Over a period, most users end up in camp 2, and the usage collapses, until one or more ISPs revert to the "unmetered" model, and collect all the users.
it often takes three tries to fit the USB connector.
Some of mine are so badly made, it takes five tries. How much skill does it take to design a flat connector that takes five attempts to insert it the right way up.
I was a hardware engineer in the day, and yes they did when facing these problems. Yes I did build floppy controllers which used comparable hacks, and so did others.
I am not saying Woz was not a good engineer, I am saying that he was not the only good engineer, and he was doing what good engineers do. In those days, you could not get a patent on bending a piece of wire, or some other triviality.
Not safe at all. They die at least 20 years younger of eating and drinking too much/the wrong thing. A diet of Scottish and Newcastle Beer and deep fried Mars Bars is a worse risk than Rapier missiles. And the Glaswegian accent can cause serious brain damage too.how much safer are people in Scotland?
Technology only changes if you spend money. Spending money is currently out of fashion, especially in the UK government (Not having it is a good justification for not spending it. Perhaps someone should tell the Greeks).
That doesn't actually prevent people from getting the patent
Wel, duh, yes it does You cannot obtain a patent on something that is public knowledge. If you disclose the idea to anyone prior to being granted a patent, without them being signed to confidence, then you cannot obtain a patent. This makes raising capital very difficult in some cases, because its hard to tell the potential funders enough to interest them without blowing it. I am currently in the 10th year of trying to raise funds for an idea that is worth billions, and the 20th year of another idea that is also worth billions. If I had patented, then the patents would have run out before I even got funding for the projects. You young people are awfully short-term minded!
None of this explains how all animals on the planet are becoming obese, including lizards on unpopulated islands!
I have no wish to suggest the average American does not eat too much, and not being in America, I cannot possibly comment. However, lizards on the far side of the world are probably more affected by pollution of the oceans and related food chain with assorted (but now banned) pesticides and hormone related weed killers than high fructose corn syrup. (I may be wrong about this;-)

That is obvious. Everything may have resistance, but most things have other relevant properties too. Electrical energy can be stores in two ways, capacitatively, and inductively. The determine current every bit as much as resistance in AC circuits. If a significant percentage of the energy is stored momentarily in either of these ways, then Ohm's law no longer describes what happens.
In memory chips, almost none of the power is drawn resistively. Memory chips are an array of capacitors which are switched on and off very fast. The power consumption depends largely on the frequency of switching, and the amount of the memory array that is switched to access one word/byte/why. The power consumption may well depend more on the system supplying the power than the memory array, and most certainly depends on things like caching algorithms more than the detailed chip spec.
what you have here is an argument about the size of the fish they have caught based on the size of the boat they went fishing in. (Car analogy available at extra cost;-}

If "irregardless" is in your dictionary, your dictionary should go in the skip, unless it was written by the Monty Python team as a spoof.

If the clock feature cannot be made dependable, then maybe it should not be there?
Blistering barnacles. Pipe down, and back to the shore with you, you &*^%$ landlubber. On my ship, you would be keel-hauled!
With three (or more) measurements, you use a cocked hat unless one is obviously stuffed.

Piloting things before nation wide deployment is also fairly normal but this is government we are discussing. Normal is not part of the scenery.
