Tampering and rodents aren't really a big issue. They're solid aluminum enclosures that are well sealed with sealed conduits, there are vents at the top under an awning/shade with fans and a mesh grill. Birds getting up in there might be an issue, but it's likely to be too hot to build a nest considering location. it's going to be right off a major toll-way and freeway with plenty of patrols and the OTHER cameras for toll collection and overview nearby in the open. I'm not going to say it's not going to happen, but the boxes are alarmed, there's cameras everywhere, and the constables are patrolling.
1. This is Houston. We are at sea-level. We have electrical ground boxes that we can't pump dry - they're only about four feet deep but they're wells. 2. The box with the CPU and guts is exactly what we're talking about. 3. This is Texas - not as bad here, but note my user-name, I'm from the other side of the state. I've been fifteen feet underground out west in the summer and it's capacitive-hot. Meaning the ground gets baked in the sun all day, so much that the temperature above ground stays warm all through the night, then it gets baked again. Fifteen plus feet down it can be hot. Granted, that's more of the western side of the state where we had clay based soil in the desert than here, but that's extreme and real. It's likely to 85 at 04:00 some nights at the surface around here, and even that hot fifteen feet below ground out west and nothing but water here.
It's also why you almost never find basements throughout the state, and when downtown flooded during that tropical storm what, seventeen years ago? The tunnels flooded due to water coming in through the walls as much as down the stairs.
Atom has certainly crossed my mind. I was a fan of netbooks at one time as my coffee shop cruisers and I was impressed with them. I have not however used them for long term harsh work. I've had them not do to well under abusive loads, then again they were in netbook format, and old models of chips.
Atom is still on the table, and I won't be making the end decision. I found some nice Atom based systems packaged in passively cooled industrial cases like in looking for.
I am trying to avoid Windows due to the unnecessary overhead it brings however embedded Windows might work out.
Software is a whole different question, and I've narrowed it down based on what hardware I'm going to use.
Now that top one there might be exactly what I need. I'm going to look closer and send that to the engineer and see if they'll get me one to toy with. Thank you.
I need suggestions for commercially made ARM systems that will work in temperature ranges from -35F to 140F (-37C to 60C) for an engineering project. These things are going to be in metal boxes on the side of Texas Highways.
Right now we've got some very impressive Intel systems, but those are in air-conditioned boxes, I'm looking for something that can survive a non-air-conditioned box. When I look for ARM stuff I find a lot of industrial boards, but not a lot of pre-made industrial systems, especially in wide-temperature range devices like I'm looking for.
Any help out there?
I'm trying to talk my company into getting me a Pine64 and the aluminum case for toying around and development purposes, but I don't think that will work for actual field use.
Pharmacies give vaccines now. In fact if there's a pharmacy near you getting close to flu season the icon on Waze says "Flu Shot". A pharmacist is not a physician, and there's more than just flu shots done at pharmacies, they practically beg the elderly to get shingles shots at the checkout counter.
I happen to be very close to more than one person who works in the pharmaceutical industry, or has at one point in time or another.
When a vaccine industry gets reported it's like pulling teeth to get a report filed. When a person lower on the pole tries to make it happen, they're more often than not blocked by someone higher up. Reporting vaccine injuries is considered "bad behavior" by at least one very large and very recognizable chain.
People say vaccines are perfectly safe all the time and call anyone who questions that batshit stupid. I had at least one someone reply to me saying exactly that last week here in Slashdot.
Even if you know someone injured by a vaccine and/or someone who received a payout from the secret vaccine court you're still batshit.
Anytime a narrative over powers reality the narrative needs questioning, and this narrative is super powerful.
My suggestion to restoring trust:. Do away with the secret court and government backed payout fund. Treat vaccine injuries like other malpractice and product related injuries that get tried in public.
Accountability and trust go hand in hand. Secret courts and blanket immunity for a whole industry does not build trust.
Manipulating kids on a global scale to push a political interest while pretending it's grass-roots and then reporting it that way in the news.
It's time we call this what it is every time we see it. It's all about consolidated control.
The people in charge of these movements don't give a rats ass about the environment, in fact they intentionally trigger and prolong real environmental disasters to justify more regulation. That's why the BP disaster in the gulf took so long to plug and rivers in Indian reservations were intentionally polluted by the EPA.
They have to make each of us feel guilty in an individual basis too push their agenda. That's why stuff like this news article gets published.
You want to really clean up the environment on a personal basis? Bring back deposit bottles, less manufacturing overhead and it gives kids and homeless something to make some money with. Stop the single use craze by buying in bulk and from farmers markets. Intentionally but things with less packaging.
Want to address the larger scale? Legalize newer nuclear reactors that are less dangerous, like pebble bed reactors. Recycle the existing spent full no matter how Jimmy Carter feels about it. Get the ethanol out of our has engines. Start making Sterling Engines that run in ethanol to keep the corn lobby happy and to fuel local backup power and even supplement the grid. Use it to purify water while you're at it.
This is propaganda people, recognize it, shine a light on it.
I think it's pretty obvious our posts have been passed along to the collectivist moderation rail-road, I went from +5 to -1 on a few posts and most the others have yo-yoed and I see yours has been attacked to.
The NPCs have better team-work than the rest of us.
Everyone should check the parents post history. It reads like a Russians everywhere insult script, rarely more than a single sentence and almost always an insult with the exception of the occasional "we should submit to the government and give them more power" post.
So your solution is to rip off EVERYONE so that some people can get eye-wear at no cost.
Once the government starts providing it, we'll get a repeat of what's happened with the education system - once the government starts dumping money into it the price will go up. So now instead of $120 out of my pocket for glasses, it will be $4,000 out of the collective pocket, but at least "I won't have to pay for it".
No, I'm simply accusing what comes out of Slashdot on the front page on a regular basis to be the product of a DNC fanboi.
A couple of owners ago Slashdot was rather neutral, the past two owners at least have been quite left-leaning.
I salute Slashdot for more or less leaving the classic moderation in place, though I do go back and look at some old post and see "-2 Moderation" on some of my post that are less forgiving of the left wing, even some that appear to have been down-moded after the comment period has ended, though I'm not 100% sure. I am beginning to wonder if they don't bias the scoring system a bit these days.
You know Fox is basically controlled opposition and that any time one of their, in many cases real conservative hosts, start talking too close to the core about what's wrong they get shit-canned right? Fox news is right-wing news with a restraining bolt.
Just about every other news source is a DNC front, and Snopes is an enforcer of DNC ideas under the guise of "fact checking". Seems like Slashdot may not be an exception based on what hits the front page.

It's called a secret court because what happens in the court itself are secret, not the existence of the court itself.

Conservative post bad!

There's plenty of evidence to show Snopes is crooked, but there's not point in bringing it up when you will only accept information checked by Snopes.
If you say the same phrase over and over does it make it come true, or does it make you feel like a repetitive idiot?
So your solution is to rip off EVERYONE so that some people can get eye-wear at no cost.

well, I did have Jack in the Box tacos yesterday, it's just a matter of time....

Irrelevant.
We need *new* straws to grasp at!
From the pro globalist shills at Salon.
It wasn't a fair election.
The DNC cheated, just not hard enough to overcome a landslide and they're super butt-hurt about it.
He's a sucker for thinking Fox is truly right-wing.
CNN doesn't shill for the DNC?
You know they've actually admitted (finally) that they have debate questions to Hillary ahead of time right?
You know Fox is basically controlled opposition and that any time one of their, in many cases real conservative hosts, start talking too close to the core about what's wrong they get shit-canned right? Fox news is right-wing news with a restraining bolt.
Salon is one of the worst left wing ones pretending to be neutral.
Just about every other news source is a DNC front, and Snopes is an enforcer of DNC ideas under the guise of "fact checking". Seems like Slashdot may not be an exception based on what hits the front page.
Let the GOP have one too.
