Sir, I will! Yes. For the very low fee of $50 per dump I will feed those worms for you. If you purchase 3 dumps you get a house watching bundle with it free. Prepay with Bitcoin now while this offer is still valid.
If you want try this yourself you can get the bacteria starter culture from boating supplies. It's a bit pricey at the moment. If you then want to use cleaning fluids there are special ones available from chandlers too.
Well... I'm on a boat with no WiFi and no admin to tether via USB. I could plug in an access point and get myself in trouble but I'd rather not. There's a similar problem when travelling in general.
I'd like to be able to go to Google Play, get the.apk, scan it online or using a PC rather than using battery power on the phone itself and transfer it across to my phone. Google make it difficult to do that. So then we look at alternative app stores but how safe are they?
Then, finally we cave and after finding it off Google use a rapidshare link and hope for the best. Why do we give in? Well, usually it's because we are weak. But what if your phone has crashed and you really need Google Authenticator or to read some vital info encrypted with an app? That's when you realise it's good to read the docs and see just how open and accessible the method of encryption is.
There are tons of great countries in that list: Qatar, Vanuatu, Indonesia, Cape Verde & definitely the Maldives some for the highlights.
re: Waiting A love strong enough might endure a 5 year wait? I don't think the strength of a love is a factor. That's a myth pervaded by anglophone culture.
The advantage of being in the slammer is that you are going to have a better excuse than if she just leaves you. Unfortunately it's more painful though as it's harder to see it coming.
re: I doubt he planned it. I've seen good parts go to waste. I expect he was tempted but hadn't experienced the risks and thought he could push it, and did. So it wasn't planned at all.
I am that person. I travel with a bicycle that folds into airline luggage. a helmet would be useful but I'd rather not carry it even though one has saved my brothers life. I flout anything that forces me to wear a helmet. if I ever get pulled up on it I might start wearing one but I doubt it. there have been times when my mother has insisted and it put me off. its definitely encouraged me to use bus and feet in a few cases I have a helmet.... never use it. not even in Buenos Aires!
I find the GillDyslexic font easier than the OpenDyslexic one due to the increased asymmetry.
Wouldn't... shouldn't a Dyslexic font be included as part of web fonts and free to use? Wouldn't it be nice to have the Gill font opened so we can use it by a Kickstarter campaign? I mean... £9.99 for a font, how the heck does that work? I can't see that working, can you?
A kickstarter campaign could include further research into the rewards to figure out what works best by methodical testing and it would raise cash a lot quicker than a $9.99 here and there.
Combine with a Yellow background.
Not just for Dyslexics, a good font might be better for all, but I don't think the Open one is that.
I see the people around me as a valuable resource. Everyone has something of interest and everyone has smoething to give.
When I think back on the major points of progress I've had in my life all of them are due to the people I've known and met. Jobs came through word of mouth rather than search and apply. A lot of the best, unexpected yet useful knowledge gained has been through direct contact with people.
Standing in line saying nothing I feel there is this great resource, under utilised.
Someone who can utilise this and find a way to break the social barriers will increase chances for serendipity.
So how do we do that?
Well if you're British you mention the weather or et drunk, but is it going to go any further than that? Likewise, how do you get the subject onto something more interesting, avoid the awkward silences and so on? I'm no expert in this but I know the only way to learn is by doing taking any mistakes on the way as valuable lessons.
I find this kind of interesting for figuring out which methods are best for learning. I found Ubuntu to be better for learning before it got so popular, but it's still OK. Gentoo I found I learnt the most by far. I know Android isn't strictly linux but I've found it a lot harder to learn anything with this... any tips on resources?
Next move will probably be something for a Raspberry Pi.
These days though I find other things matter, such as which interface you're using. That path for me has been, with overlapping use:
Amiga500 -> Vic20 -> Amstrad with DOS -> 486 with DOS/Win3.1 -> Win95 -> Win98 -> Mandrake6 with KDE -> Debian with Gnome -> WinXP -> Ubuntu with KDE -> Debian via Putty -> CentOS via putty & XP -> Sabyron via putty & XP -> Ubuntu with AwesomeWM -> and I'm finally on triple boot Win7, WinXP, Ubuntu with XFCE!
Not pretty! I've lost patience for linux on the desktop, much preferring shell use over ssh. These days I expect things to work and if I get something unexpected I just reboot into WinXP. In the days of Mandrake I would have taken great pleasure in sorting it out... these days I would prefer to pay someone else to do it if that was feasible.
I got late into the Android party with ICS, holding off for many years with Symbian. I'm really surpised at how different it is to linux and how hard I've found it to transition. I can't trace wakelocks to processes and there seems to be tons of stuff oing on I don't understand. The filesystem is completely foriegn and it seems rare to find anyone who's gone deeper than loading an alternative ROM but also is willing to swap notes. I need to find a smaller, more niche community to swap notes with.
Without spoofing the browserID to something mobile the high bandwidth needed for preloading all those emails in a presumably inefficient fashion means that you won't be checking spammail from a connection with packet loss or low bandwidth anymore (abroad on WiFi or Internet cafes)
So it's not the first time we've seen functionality reduced. Also a shame for people using IMAP or pop3 where longer passwords can make more sense.
If you're like me you're probably rapidly Googling to see whether we can shoe-horn this from a car battery into a phone battery ASAP
"2.1 The Envia Systems cells are prototype lithium pouch rechargeable cells. The cells have a capacity of 46 Ah and an energy density of 400Wh/Kg. The cell's dimensions are approximately 97 mm wide, 190 mm long and 10 mm thick. The cell's approximate weight is 365 grams. Cell serial numbers are 400WhK-07-005-111205 (designated as 005) and 400WhK-07-006-111205 (designated as 006).
5. Conclusions
5.1 One of the highest energy cells used in consumer applications is the NCR18650A manufactured by Panasonic, which can be used as a comparative asset to the Envia cells. The NCR18650A cell specification claims 3100 mAh capacity, 3.6 V average and weighs 45.5 grams. The calculated energy density of this comparative cell would be approximately 245 Wh/Kg.
5.2 The test results from the prototype cells tested at Crane were in line with the results obtained from the manufacturer. The claims of 400 Wh/Kg were substantiated through the cycling tests performed at Crane. This is a 160% energy density increase over the industry standard indicated in paragraph 5.1. "
NookTouch for ebooks maybe not needed. Something simpler dual-roleing would be a netbook (and a spare if using digital charts only - very controversal but saves thousands...), maybe with the PixelQi screen hack and SSD for less power use, plus 12v charger of course. There's a FOSS charting program that's rather nice I forget the name of... EPIRB. At least 2 GPS ariels well sited.
Flare guns for easier customs hassle.
For social, SSB radio with modem and the only option for the expensive but good SailMail system. I believe it's possible to avoid the irritating (severe need for FOSS here!) propeitrory Paxtor modem without too much speed loss. This is a lot easier than getting a HAM license and packet radio and more people use it. Earth the ariel by using a plate in the bilge - less corrosion and no holes in the hull. Ariel length changer on the main stay insulated so you don't burn yourself on it. Don't really need satelite phone but useful for emergencies. Depends on the cash. Unfortunately, and I've looked into this a lot, a directional, gyroscopically corrected ariel is >$1000. That's great as it was $20,000 not too long ago but I can't figure out how to get a reasonable rate on the data. All I can find is prepay horrendous rates. Depending on where you go you might be able to get data coverage from the same companies that service remote places on land - anyone got any info? Other than that it's 9600 baud and per minute dialup on a sat phone which is no fun -SSB radio is much better. GNURadio isn't ready for production use really. Can use a cheap USB SDR for getting weather plots but only a little $ extra for a proper alert.
AIS beacons are popular so you can sleep and hope someone spots you if not on watch.
Wind generator is important to not skimp on. Cheap solar panel as backup just because they're cheap but it depends where you're going. Serviceable batteries.
Bear in mind that electrics and water don't mix. Sailing is so dangerous the sea might as well be a vat of acid. Go over the side and even if tethered you'll never pull yourself back onboard on full steam. Good luck, nothing like it!
Yeah right. It's just coincidence that the internal memory shrink creates another throw away device and also makes it just that little bit harder to upgrade the o/s..
Locking you just that little bit more in the upgrade cycle.
Just coincidence...
The conclusion I draw from this is that people are too dumb to budget for resale value in looking at their phone contracts.
I've done a few jobs not far off this too. I lasted 8 weeks which was longer than the 22 people before me who left before first break. I guess the difference is that there are whole cities like this over there.
when I left and got a better job I realised I could have held out for a better job and/or used benefit or family resources to invest in training. such was my single mindedness in always wanting to be employed I never thought to exercise this possibility.
I wonder if these people are as stuck in a rut as I was, seemingly unable to climb out of the situation without funds and options. or whether there are other possibilities such as selling on eBay
So you want of the same... That is currently failing. Isn't the definition of madness doing the same thing over and over again and expecting something different?
So let's take away the only point of learning, and robotise even more and take away the freedom of choice. Then erect fences and lock them away. Eventually coming out so institutionalised, completely unable to fend for themselves because they've never had the chance to see the real world - the out doors.
I spent my summers abroad, and scouts, and air cadets. I learnt to make fire, gut a rabbit and land a plane. More Time free to practice coding, more time to experience life without the clock for the first time. A glimpse into life the way you fit into, and a chance to see you're not a freak, simply an animal beaten by a system. A chance to find yourself and your own way.
Summer hols are a mess up for some, especially for parents who were also raised in a system without a summer holiday to practice being an adult and so cannot raise kids and leave them like in films such as the goodies, super7,ET, for they are not adults, and we are reliant on the state for our every baby screaming need.
Victorian education from the enlightenment needs to more from that era to the make mag/slashdot/TED era. I see the TED talk on education and pupil led lessons, so much more to look forward to.
Like sports the outdoors can lead on to inspire and that includes summer traditionally. Split the summer to more time thro the year, and get them sailing a yacht as a team in force 8 and similar opportunities.
That said my youth was active and now it's ipads and tv. We had a summer sports thing and I remember drinking 6 litres a day in the heat. Got to get outdoors but don't give up and throw the summer out just because lcd screens don't work in bright sunlight currently:-P
There's probably a billion people out there who've been been screwed by a bolt that didn't have lubricant applied.
I'd do a study on the various methods to average the knowledge from all that to make a decision but no time for that in a proper way I guess.
Pen trading spray is the thing you need. I I assume that has been tried.
Sorry I can't help but chuckle when I see this old chestnut in this setting...
In lieu of the right spray we've used wd40 but not sure that would penetrate without gravity.
The next one would be applying shock or vibration. You could do this within safe limits. Another one could be heating the nut while drawing heat away on the bolt. Perhaps there's some kind of conical reflector for that?
Low solvency and still low trust following the corralito. Why do they need to try so hard, even to the point of enforcing legal advantage? Beware the free lunch.
I've seen those discounts, even the >10% supermarket ones and I still prefer effectivo, bolivian veg stalls & vege shops. If only they accepted a less massively inflating currency too...
There's been a lot of work put into getting people to stop sharing their networks or using open networks so now a lot of people use passwords and WPA/WPA2 is commonplace.
Mesh networking would now need to run alongside this way of doing things now, or at least have a switch for emergency use; not ideal.
And still people say ebay isn't a monopoly. What is the alternative?
Multi auction search, etsy, ebid, bidz, craigslist, gumtree...
Yet all of these don't work and are all failing to meet critical mass because you have to search them all separately or can't compare with ebay automatically.
I think the market needs a hand here. In the UK we are also forced to accept Paypal... well I can't see a way to not take it unlike the USA site.
You mentioned Argentina, I'll comment on that. The place has a lot going for it in many respects but it also has many factors against it.
If earning from abroad I'd say it's a proposition. They say in Argentina you'll never starve as such, you'll just be really uncomfortable.
However, the peso has been devaluing at >20% for decades now. Graph it against the dollar and you can see this is intentional printing press work. Strikes and chaos have been going on and off for decades. There's regular economy crashes. Currency exchange restrictions and protectionism bite.
It all depends on what your income is. If you have safe income outside the country then you should be fine apart from getting caught up in the economy crash every 10 years, subway strikes and bureaucratic madness.
The bureaucracy is insane. It's much like Business is systematically pursued and attacked from all angles. Perhaps this is a result of having peace for so long instead of having everything flattened in WWII and rebuilt. It has a cooling effect on buying houses, exporting is a nightmare, things go missing, people rip you off, goods get stuck at the port etc etc. Anything involving red tape is bedlam.
There's still a large element of blackmarket. Everybody is just trying to survive. Every now and then the gov comes after an element and changes it.
People are hardened against all this stuff. It's an interesting study in the things that could be coming the way of Europe and the USA. People survive in their own ways, whether it's doing cash in hand in a profession, keeping funds outside of the country or blackmarket trading. The question would be how you would be able to do that? You might be able to do this for years but I wouldn't feel completely secure... just more secure than Greece.
The interaction between chemistry, biology & electro-magnetics is fascinating for me.
In the Anglophone world we have books like "The Body Electric". In Chinese and Russian there's much, much more. There's a sense we're building on 100's years of science (I use that term in a definition you may not agree with).
I was able to alter my bioimpedence using my mind in a test at the science museum in London. I'd like to know if it was just me passing harder on the contacts or sweating a bit more...
