I hand soldered a QFN package with 0.5mm pin pitch last month with a 10x hand lens and a hakko-888 iron with the chisel tip. I don't do a lot of soldering. Yes it was tricky and it took quite a while to convince myself I'd gotten good connections and no bridges, but it worked the first time. With drag soldering, plentiful flux, and maybe some solder wick it is within grasp of anyone that cares to try.
PCB was one of those 10 for $2 style chinese manufacture.
I basically never comment, but have read daily for ages. I went nigh on five years without getting any mod points, but now I seem to get them frequently. Carry on.
they have at least given quite a bit of notice (of the shutdown date, not the intention) and allowed bulk export of your data. But yes, how hard would it be to at least give a minimum warning garantee?

so Skarp then?
yeah, it couldn't even make avacado toast.
Sorry, were you relying on a google product again?

is this just a new form of 'square ice' http://www.nature.com/nature/j... , which was also supposed to have interesting flow properties?
it's easier since realplayer isn't also waiting to steal them
or if you get notifications with vibration :)
That $100 case is a beaglebone. The $200 version is the SDR daughterboard only.
it's a decently powerful emitter. You can hunt those down with directional receivers, which are just as small and concealable.
OTOH, if they want you to use cloud services, they need to have a history of not shutting down said cloud services.
yes, but who wants to run their hardware survey? It asks to send a list of all installed programs. I stopped reading there, and have never run it.
or, you know, a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
grep?

Because of environment hardening and reliability, space tech is frequently behind commercial tech.
Or, as firefox says, why not both?
At this point I'm pretty much running an entire emulated version of old-sane firefox as extensions to current firefox. Lightweight!
We also only use two digits after the decimal marker, even when the backwards comma is used.
cost to lift is political :)
We went as cheap as possible, and I'd heard ESA won't use radioactives anyway.
to be fair, the no RTG thing is political.
and we assume people won't just overlap on whim.
Offline copy of wikipedia. Tested working compiler, libraries, documentation for such. Other stuff to do.
of course, it can only show you what facebook allows you to see. There is still a level of filtering before the browser gets to order things.
Do you have the dates backwards, or is this another 'quantum' thing?
