I have never had a car with a remote lock/unlock device. I suppose it might be handy at night, but I don't have any trouble using a key by feel, either. So it seems to me the easiest way to prevent a problem is just not to use the electronic unlock.
Or don't worry about it. What are the odds that some bad guy will target your vehicle?
That's interesting information, and of course it brings up the question, "Why not make it a multpurpose device?"
"Hey Pinky, are you pondering what I'm pondering?" "Well, I think so, Brain. If it had separate compartments and a switching valve, you could use it to fight fires, or quickly dispense spices and breading." "Exactly, Pinky! With such a device in every kitchen, we could take over the world!"
Are any affordable 3D or 2D printers suitable for making circuit boards? I could really go for that. I am tired of doing the laser printer transfer method, and would seriously consider buying something better, if the price is right. Quantities are modest. Thanks.
Yes, your boolean logic is correct. And a very simple thought experiment will provide a solution. If you have a 2 and a 3, will you ever call? No. Never. Unless you plan to bluff. But there are so many middling hands to bluff from that might have a chance of actually winning anyway. So there is NO REASON to call with such a crappy hand, unless you really want your opponents to think you are psychotic. Can that be used to an advantage?!?
My very limited experience with "Dogs playing poker" tells me that cards 10 and higher are helpful and cards under 8 or 9 are downright toxic. But it depends on how many players are in the end game. Fewer players allow a bit more risk, more players mean I have to bail at the least provocation.
And why do they always assume that the trigger is at a zero countdown? Why doesn't the bomber set the timer to go off at fifty-one minutes or eleven minutes and six seconds, for example?
The other day, I saw a Droid phone on the WM web site for $20 or so and it got me thinking about getting one to play with. In particular, putting a VOIP client like 3CX or CsimpleSIP on it and connecting to my Asterisk server over Wifi. So I went off to WM to ask questions.
My big question was, can I buy a cheap Droid phone that they sell for their prepaid plans and use the apps without actually buying a plan? Or if I have to buy a plan, can I still use the apps on the phone (and Wifi) after my plan expires? I could not get a good answer for this, but they "thought" that the phone would stop working for apps when the prepaid time expires.
So, is there a really cheap way to get an Android device with Wifi that will run a VOIP client? It would be really fun to have one or two around the house to connect to my home VOIP system. Thanks.
Ouch. Touch crowd. Okay, I feel lucky and will double down on this. For those who watched the movie "Idiocracy", I would like to see Obama play the starring role in the sub-movie "Ow! My balls!"
Words alone do not express my contempt for Obama. Instead, let me suggest those who have seen the movie "Little Nicky" to recall the scene in Hell with Hitler and the pineapples.
Tucows Inc., an internet company that's been around since the early 90s â" it's generally known for being in the shareware business and for registering and selling premium domain names...
In 1997, Tucows was starting to get attention at ISPCON. Network Solutions _WAS_ the only registrar since General Atomics and ??? abandoned the domain registration game. Kim was at the top. Then the fees went from $100 to $70 and there was limited competition. Tucows was a competitor, but not a good one. I remember, because I did not choose them for my domain registrations.
For those interested in Kim, she went on to ICANN and was a force to deal with when getting a/19. Those who don't know what a/19 is can just move on...
It's nice that they are providing the source code for the keyboard. If I program the controller myself, I could be pretty sure that there is no keylogger there... Unless I put one in.
Five to ten seconds in a microwave oven should do the trick. A good physical smashing is probably effective. Or just bury the damn thing. But don't sell it and have any expectation of privacy.
It sounds like her immune system is pretty messed up. I would make fixing that a priority so it doesn't get worse, or allow some future infection to blossom.
Somewhere, there must be a medical doctor that can figure out the cause, and get it fixed. At the very least, I would suggest vitamin D (2 x 5000IU) and vitamin C (2-10 grams, or as much as the body will take before laxative effect.) That should be safe and may give some relief.
I was halfway expecting to see "joshua" in the list, but I guess anyone who saw and remembers Wargames would not be such a dumbass to use such an obvious password.
It has probably been a couple decades since I read this book, but my impression was a comparison between a "Western" capitalist society and a "commune" society (that actually worked). And these fictional observations were packaged as a story. I thought it was okay, worth reading once but not great.
Do you really want to smell like an orc? Okay. DMSO. The amount may vary per person, but start with one or two teaspoons per day. Increase the dose if nobody complains after a few days. At first, people might wonder, "Did someone open a can of oysters?" And if you keep at it, I guarantee that you WILL smell like rotting garbage.
Please note that while you are helping your health, you are creating a very real risk of losing whatever relationships you may have, if you make this more than a short-term experiment. The smell really IS that bad.
Back in 1981, I was programming for a company with a 64K CPM computer with a Hazeltine monitor. Life was great.
And this book writer Adam Osborne, whose motto was "Just good enough", started selling his barely luggable CPM computer with two 5.25 floppy drives and a five inch monitor for something less than two thousand dollars.
I actually though about buying one of these. Shudder!
I have thought about ways to set up an efficient diesel generator to double as a source of home heating, but nothing has really clicked yet. With diesel around $3/gallon, the power would cost 23 cents per kw/h not counting the heat benefit. Obviously it can not compete by price alone today, but who knows what may change tomorrow?
I am also increasingly tempted to get some experience with solar power. It is still expensive, but it would be nice to have some real world experience in place if and when new technology brings the price down.
Where I am, the power is just under 4.4 cents per hw/hour from 8AM to 10PM (peak) and 2.4 cents off peak most of the year. (June, July, and August is about 5.2 cents.) While I would certainly welcome clean power, doubling my power bill is a hard pill to swallow. Now if only the IRS allowed the difference in tax credits, you bet!
It has a million household uses! Well, uh... You can take inventory of your food and spices, scan them in and out of the refrigerator and cupboards, and let the computer tell you when it is time to make more. Well, you'll have to program that yourself actually. But let's say you have something that is missing _most_ of the label but still has the barcode intact. You can use this database to find out what it is! See how handy this is?
I have to wonder if these fine folks have heard of an already existing free UPC database?:) http://www.upcdatabase.com/

It took me less than ten seconds to think this, but you are clearly faster than I!
If you are feeling really evil, print out a replica of the WD-40 label and put it on a can of 3M Spray Adhesive.
Okay, I get it. When you need HTML, you just pull it out of your ass. Well played, sir.

It doesn't look like anyone has mentioned this one yet. I really enjoyed this novel, with more technical detail than most.

Here is one place that specializes in solar panels:
http://www.backwoodssolar.com/catalog/solar_panels.htm
The SW165 is just under $5 per watt, and many are between $5/w and $6/w
To answer your question about a 100w panel for under $800, the MF125UE (125w for $690) seems to be one.
Coal. Nice job on the cogeneration there.
