What strikes me in the video is the fact that the power lines are very low above the ground, crossing the streets etc. Where I come from there are no above the ground power lines. They we're all cleaned up in the 90's and now it's no longer allowed that power lines run above ground (other than high tension which wouldn't carry a signal anyway)
If the lines would be below ground the interference would be a lot less right?
You make a logical error. If Opera matches FF it (Opera) could also be better (because more features for example). If FF matches Opera that implies Opera is not better than FF.
I for one would be interested in seeing them named by the poster. Specifically I would welcome the discussion about if IE should be on the list or Safari. We never really came to a conclusion about that one. *ducks*
Check out wua.la. That will probably change your method in the near future. Can back up any kind of media offsite safer than HDD.
All storage techs will be good as dead in 20 years so you should look for an abstraction over them that will at least make it easy to move your video around and port it to new formats.
True, but I stand by the point that moving away (to your blog or something) instead of teasing the farmer is not an overreaction but the Smart Thing To Do.
I wasn't talking about what they wrote about the experience. You can write pretty much anything on the net without being overreacting.
...; they've never sounded as good as a human. After all this time they finally moved on to other instruments. And again not sounding as good as human, but they sure are fast. Fastest. Flight of the Bumblebee. Ever. (please reply with links to faster performances, I have some time to kill)
Newsflash: they already have control. The only way you can prevent them from exercising that control based on the content of your transfers is by encrypting them.
Technically the caches are a very good idea. Basically they would put a peer on the network that is very close to you that would hold the stuff that other people close to you have been downloading.
The arguments you put forward deal with the evilness of telco's, but are unrelated to the mentioned cache. They don't get any larger degree of control by putting a cache in place, they just get more bandwidth available (with which they *could* do evil stuff, sure).
This explains virtually every part of electronics you could possibly want. ... and a lot you don't want. Try http://wps.pearsoned.co.uk/ema_uk_he_storey_electronic_3/. It will give you a solid understanding of what's what without burying you in part numbers. The soldering stuff is just practice.
At Apple, you're expected to be available from 6.00 am to 9.00 pm or later some times. When I was toiling in the mines we never saw daylight at all. Don't start yapping about 15h workdays, that must have been really really exceptional. People who work over 10 hours a day cannot write working software.
Google is also failing miserably in hiring military vets. That's a big no-no. I expect them to get in serious trouble for that. Could it be that people who study to become a veterinarian aren't very fit to work at Google? I mean healing a military horse is much different from programming a search engine...
Simplicity: In good software I see that if two things do the same thing the simplest solution is favored.
Readability: In good software I see that code that is more readable for humans is favored.
Testability: Good software is easy to test (by design)
These properties are usually attained by aiming for separation of concerns, the right abstraction level and the proper granularity. Some methodologies like XP, SCRUM and other Agile seem to be more successful in delivering good software, but it is not a property of the software itself that it is made using CI, TDD and what have you.
Exactly, that will happen during the charging. Which they conveniently forget to mention. This whole thing is just a battery, and I want to see some specs on that aspect of it. I expect them to be pretty bad if they didn't mention them in the press release but opted for a 'look we're running on water' tactic.

Well, sorry mister web design regulation agency official. I didn't know you were going to have a hissing fit.
I For one am still waiting for CrazyBob to stop working on Android and code Guice 2.0 because Guice 1.0 is not finished.
I guess the twubble is that it is much more fun to start a project than to finish it...
.. but when power goes out across an entire region (like it did with the Northeast blackouts a few years ago)
Surely that would solve the interference problem too?
...on that note, I'm wondering how many hams have an aggregate to power their equipment.

you wish. Like I ever would get any mod points!
ah, but they are. If I only cared to read the posts below the radar...

That's all I have to say about that.

I had a great time with one of those ATMEL chips once. Programming assembler is a lot faster than soldering I can tell you that.
But the question is about learning electronics, so buying ic's is maybe not what turns author on?
...when they don't have enough.

Erm, guns are scary. It isn't unheard of that they actually result in death.
Don't confuse courage with folly.

Well, the article (linked by your sibling) screws up: which uses water as a fuel
There is no mention of charging anywhere, so they claim to use a fuel cell and put water in it instead of hydrogen and still output power.
Basically, water is not a fuel. That is a claim that violates the laws of physics.
