In order to do that, the power supply is still running.
My computer does not have a BIOS option for power up. It does however have a power up after a power outage setting. So the wheels started turning. I set the shutdown to run on a schedule. The some time after the computer shuts down I have an appliance timer cut power to the outlet. This not only shuts off power to the computer (which has already shut down) it also kills power to all phantom loads associated with it. Then when the appliance timer comes back around to turn the power on, the computer turns on as if after a power failure.
This is the kind of thing you figure out when you pay different rates for on-peak and off-peak power at your home.
You did your math backwards!
Power DECREASES with distance!
If you were right, we could get more power by moving away, that doesn't make any sense.
It should be about 1 and a half watts at 5 meters, not 375!
How can you use a BUD for long distance? Wind load at the heights needed to avoid fresnel zone problems would be freaking huge on a BUD! The biggest I've seen is a 30dBi 59" antenna and even that I don't think was usable on most towers as it had a loading factor of 100 lbs at 120mph.
You know, just for playing around... why not just duct-tape a USB WIFI dongle to the inner side of existing LNB? I mean It's not like most people would want one of these on a permanent basis... but to screw around with before the dish's ultimate demise, it could be fun.
You're right it's not all slashdot but slashdotted is becoming a generic term.... kinda like kleenex.;)
But yeah they did seem surprisingly unprepared.
Amplifying wifi signals is pretty much always a bad idea, because the signal is two-way. It's like having a conversation with someone far away - if you have a megaphone they can hear you, but no matter how loud your megaphone is, you still won't be able to hear them.
However, if you have a point-to-point wireless link with the same amplification on both ends, it can be useful. Don't overuse it though, as too much amplification will distort the signal, and disrupt other people's attempts to use nearby frequencies (even pretty far away). But if you put your megaphone up to your ear, you can hear them.... Hence the amplifiers are bi-directional
Make that: You can't use since you never started with .
Be sure next time if your tag doesn't require a close to use />.
Even I forget my lts and my gts now and then.:P
Perhaps the desert-ness of their surroundings contributed as well. Was water so plentiful that slaves would use it to mix up some bricks, or did they need whatever water they could get for more critical things like food and drinking? Maybe only the super-rich could afford to mix their water with sand, pour it into a box, and let it evaporate to the heavens.
Well the pyramids are about 2,000 feet (600 Meters/666 Yards) from the Nile, so they probably had all the water they needed.
Some say that this indicates there was a global or root religion
I've seen this mentioned before. For instance in a god's name.
Believed to come from Deus Pater (dewouspather)in Proto Indo-European (PIE) culture, "Sky Father" comes both Jupiter (Latin), Zeus (Greek), Dispater (Gaulish), Dyaus Pita (Sanskrit), Dievas (Baltic).
Dhghom Mater (Earth Mother) is Demeter (Greek), Mati Zemlja (Slavic), etc.
I'm sure even to this day Mother Earth is still a concept you are familiar with... and possibly father sky. Interestingly enough the Egyptians may have had a Mother Sky and a Father Earth.
It makes sense that other information be it religious or otherwise would also have similar roots. The languages and the cultures of these groups are linked. If you are able to go back far enough we are all human.
I think ancient people were far more sophisticated than we give them credit.
Suppose that something similar to that is going to happen and there's nothing we can do to stop it. If we were going to leave a message for a future civilization (possibly 10000 years from now) warning them on how to stop it, how would you do so?
Around christmas there was a progressive scan multi-region capable divx playing DVD player on sale at the local GROCERY STORE (a big chain store too, not a corner grocer) for $19.99 (US)
Do I think that a DVD should be $20.. no, but I also do not believe in stealing of that DVD because it is $20.
Well no one here steals DVDs. The DVDs are still in the care of their owners. the people who bought those DVDs still have them. The content they contain on the other hand......
As the FA points out: "it is the nearest Cepheid variable star. Cepheids' brightness variations are used to measure the distances of galaxies and the expansion rate of the universe"
Well a cepheid is a star with variations in brightness... um.. excuse me.... UM? IANAAP, but how do they tell excatly what is a cepeid? I'm just wondering... could a companion orbiting closely to its parent star that was not detected previously have created the conditions that were previously attributed to the parent as being a cepheid variable star??? IS there such a thing as a cepeid or are all of them (or many) just binary stars eclipsing oneanother? Is Polaris really a cepheid? By what observation method can you tell the difference? What is the Cepheid variability in relation to the orbit of this companion? Just wondering because we use cepheids to figur out distances and well, if it turns out there aren't any cepheids or atleast a good number of them are merely binary stars, that's gunna throw a big monkey wrench into a lot of things.

It's amazing how French you sound, despite the pro-British rantings.
And in those two weeks are the greatest spectator sport our state has to offer - road construction!
We've recently added "massive flooding" to our list of attractions, too.
Tell me about it

Well maybe you should just sign him up to every mailing list you can find. Maybe after he get's spam bombed he'll understand
Well it's Slashdotted good for me. Well I think I can wait a little longer for it.

we shouldn't assume that it should be read from left to right
It does appear to be written from left to right.

Where? Link?
