Yes, I can, it's called extrapolating from known designs and common sense. 400HP is 300KW, or about the power consumption of 13 houses but the guy is holding it in his arms. Can you estimate the temperature this is running at and use the Arrhenius Equation, or the "eyeball and gut feeling approximation" to estimate how this will impact the lifetime?
I have lots of wonderful weird old books from around WWII. It seems that in that era community centres (or centers) had equipped workshops for citizens to drop by and do some woodworking, or repair electrical appliances. After some reflection, I realized this is not compatible with the social model of consuming to keep the economy growing. But it would be nice to have a Mr Fixit type person running a shop for every x number of citizens in an area would can not only run 3D printers, but all the other stuff we seem to have lost in the last half century or so.
I press ctrl shift K and look around, then I can disable javascript in that tab if I want. What ever happened to the "disable java" option in the options menu?
A queue is a physical thing, it's literally people in a queue. The OP was talking about people "bleating", that is talking. For audio, you "cue" up the next complainer, like on a phone line.... You don't fly them from all around the world to put them in a physical line up of people waiting in line.
Yes but what about when Google is getting all bent out of shape because it decides your NAME doesn't sound right? Like I said, it's a bunch of letter and digits. They refuse to understand that it's a legally registered name. Since Americans like the concept of "corporations are people", can't they just accept that name?

Like I said, they annoyed me to upgrade to Google+ and there was no "non merci" option. Sorry boss. Then they annoyed me with this name horseshit.
Creating a new gmail account with no transactions in it and then saying "look no problems" is not a good counterexample. Clearly Google targets accounts with a certain volume.
Interesting. Let's wait and see until it's your turn for the Google nonsense. When you've been using your account for three years, we'll see. In the meantime, get some help for you paranoid delusions.
Who knows? Like I said, Google was forcing me to upgrade to Google+ and it was complaining that the name didn't live up to their exalted standards. They said they wanted other people to be able to contact us. If we were a business, we should create a google+ page. Guess what? As a condo admin, I'm not paid, and I'm not interested in creating a google+ page. Furthermore, a condo board in Quebec is not a business so why should I care?
The main problem Google seems to have is with the name. It's a long sequence of letters and numbers at gmail.com.
We don't want other people to find us. We don't want to find other people.
We are not going to help Google+'s bogus social networking numbers simply because like I said we're boring. Just let us keep our name...
The pop-up I get is in French but it boils down to that the name "doesn't sound" like a name and we must change it. Even though I sent the document showing that it's the name registered with the government, it's not good enough for Google??
We run a small condo, 12 units. A few years ago we created a gmail account for the condo administration to communicate with the residents. We used the condo association's legal name as registered with the government. Recently I had to go through the whole "upgrade the account to google+ and you can't opt out" rigamarole. I sent the registration form to google's anonymous and unreachable (except through the one-way web form) to be told the name doesn't meet Google guidelines because they want people to be able to find us.
Guess what? It's a condo. It only concerns the 12 people who live here. No one else cares about who cleans our carpets and who's complaining about the squeaking hinges on the door over at #201.
It's so stupid. I downloaded all the documents in the drive but Google doesn't handle french accents too well in file names, AND it creates a flat zip... We lost the whole tree. Oh well, I'll manually re-create it when I migrate over to Yahoo groups.
You can say what you want about Yahoo, they don't annoy you at the same level as Google.
Maybe, but my coat exists... And BTW I'm not gloating here, the downside of my coat is that it's no longer fashionable, the brand is now mostly worn by 60+ white hairs or homeless people. But even if I buy another 600$ coat now, it's still 50$ a year if it lasts another 12 years, and I've never had a zipper problem. Don't even know what that's all about. How can a zipper break in normal use?
I'm a cheap bastard, my boots are 10 years old and I just bring them to the cobbler for a new sole every year. Tredairs with silicone weatherproofing every year. Unless I walk into an ankle-deep puddle, no leaks.
Kept a PIII with W2K going for the same amount of time...
Try spending more than 99$ for a Made in China generic coat. I paid 600$ for a Canadian-made Nylon-shell winter coat with nice synthetic filler. It's 12 years old so that's 50$ per year. The only sign of wear is on the cuffs, looking a bit threadbare but I can bring it to the store and they'll sew in new ones.
It's more of a wistful comment; if I could go back to high school I'd change a few things, mostly about girls, what else? And it looks like I have to update my profile...

Oh it's awesome. Me it's the drag boats that really get me. I don't know why, I don't have a nautical bone in my body, but those boats are awesome.
Would you expect a lifetime like ...
a 19th century locomotive?
a modern marine diesel the size of a skyscraper
other engines that barely last 24 hours
Saw a special on youtube, basically the spark plugs are melted halfway through the course and they're just dieseling to the finish line.
the horsepower per hour of engine life? That thing looks like it'll last 20 hours before it needs rebuilding.

I don't see too many printers that can handle fanfold paper anymore either.
More like huge boom! lol amirite?

I'm pretty sure they make chewable Haldol now. Try the grape.

Is this the article?
But we're not talking about programming, we're talking about physical people.
A queue is a physical thing, it's literally people in a queue. The OP was talking about people "bleating", that is talking. For audio, you "cue" up the next complainer, like on a phone line.... You don't fly them from all around the world to put them in a physical line up of people waiting in line.
"Cue". Unless you really mean to travel the world and get all these people to form a lineup.

This is Slashdot on a Saturday night. There are going to be at least 15 people who are convinced they know more and better than you buddy...
First there was everything. Then it changed.

The only difference is Kennedy could commit ~1% of the GDP of the most powerful nation (at the time) for ten years. Mars One has Kickstarter.
