Don't confuse resolution with the actual ability to hold a tolerance. Looking at their web page, the water jets all seemed to be good to +/-.001" repeatability. The resolution on the encoder is good to.0001". This is not the same as cutting to ten-thousandths tolerance. Usually we are talking about grinding machines in the when one gets into "tenths" (.0001").
I know what you're saying, but you mean a ten-thousandth. But in the shop I call them tenths too, as do most metal heads. And yes, I'm referring to inches as well.
Not so simple. The Soviets had a system in place called Kurs. Kurs was engineered and produced in the Ukraine. After the Soviet Union broke up, Ukraine was the sole supplier of the Kurs system and also owned the IP of said system. They wanted too much $$$ to supply and/or license the system. Russia then develops the Toru system as a backup and kludge. They were salvaging Kurs computers from automated progress modules and sending them home on the Space Shuttle. I believe that the Kurs system was actually very reliable and had no issues. Toru, on the other hand, was a contributing factor in the collision.
So basically, due to an IP dispute, Russia developed a much inferior system and this resulted in an accident.
If the reason is lack of leadership skills/experience and a weak team. If they had those qualities, they might not need to go seeking a VC for help. On the other hand, sounds like a catch all for VC rejection.
The problem I have with this is the hypothetical "if you were fired tomorrow" angle on the survey. Why would I be fired tomorrow? For cause? Due to downsizing? A lot of people would feel threatened if they were suddenly fired, especially if they can see their termination as unjustified. This doesn't justify their potential actions, but it really leaves out a lot. How many people, if they were fired tomorrow, would come back with a gun and start shooting people? Probably a lot less. Was that question on the survey?
A weapon need not be lethal to be considered a weapon. A two foot length of rubber heater hose can be used as a whip, it isn't very lethal but it will hurt like hell. Sure, you could probably use it to strangle someone, so in that sense it is a lethal weapon, but so are one's hands.
A weapon is something that can be used to assault or injure someone (or destroy or damage material). Its lethality is tangental. Can be a rolled up newspaper or a computer virus attacking life supporting equipment in a hospital.
That's what I'm thinking. The minute word gets out that google shares your search queries to law enforcement is the day that people find other ways to seek out the information they are looking for.
The couple that perpetrated this crime were idiots for manifold reasons. Nice that they left a electronic "paper" trail to aid the police and prosecutor.
The guy is already a naturalized citizen, he was born in Brazil. He isn't a native born US citizen. So he probably has calculated his decision very carefully.
Because I'm tired of manually blocking app requests. If I wanted to run apps, I wouldn't be on FB. I'd be on a general purpose computer. You know, the kind that runs applications.
And often deputy sheriffs serve at the pleasure of the Sheriff. As such, I believe that it is possible to fire them for any reason. Ultimately it depends on local regulations. Dick move, but politics is full of assholes who make dick moves.
I don't think freedom of speech protects your job, it keeps you from getting jailed. Ozzie Guillen just got suspended for making the Castro comments. Granted, he still has a job, but he lost income.
Don't they jump at any excuse to re-make old movies and plot lines? Like throw a new twist into an old movie thanks to technology (I'm looking at you Pelham 123 with your "internet").
Seems to me they'd be embracing this as the new thing to re-sell old plots, remade with new actors.
Not while it is in transit on an airplane. Of course, neither are explosives that dangerous, provided they aren't set up to be detonated in flight, as an Army veteran demonstrated recently with a block of C4 on a domestic flight.
No, I'd rather "them" not collect anything. I know the trade with gmail, I understand that. I'm trying to keep a handle on what "they" collect on me. It is possible that I'm not tech-savvy enough to block everything, but I'm willing to try my best to obfuscate my personal online habits and browsing. Which "them" are you referring to? I never said I was "fine" with any of this. And before anyone jumps on me, this is news for nerds, not just news for programmers and internet experts.
This. Mod this guy up. Compartmentalization was the concept I was trying to remember in another comment. I don't want FB/Google/Y! or the other guys watching my every move. It is about some privacy.

Who makes a water jet that can cut to ten-thousandth inch tolerance? I'm really curious about that one.

Where does Skylab fit in? No respect for the Skylab?
Thankfully, the Chinese shared their firework technology with the west, thereby helping the US develop rocket technology.

Screw digital music? Then you recommend a used CD? Are there analog CDs?

Probably a brushed, permanent magnet "universal" motor. "Universal" because they can run on AC or DC.
OP is referring to induction motors. OP should have also said "polyphase" as one can have more than 3 phases if one wanted.

But in this case, it appears that the plaintiffs were employees of the sheriff's office, not deputy sheriffs.
The Sheriff could ultimately be responsible for the budget, so he "budgeted" them out.

Cocaine may be more destructive than explosives.

Only if one manages to successfully overthrow said government. Otherwise you might get much worse than 10 years and a $250k fine. Like execution.
They still rely on city and province as a fall back, right? Seems if they are "copyrighted" then you should send mail without using the postal codes.
Newsflash, gun manufacturers sometimes ship too soon. Kel-tec isn't the only one guilty of this.
Not a bitch, whore. Let's not disparage female dogs here.
