The germanium argument is completely bogus. Silicon CMOS easily runs both fast and efficiently on a 1.0 volt supply. A custom design may be needed to do the job right, but if you've described the situation accurately, in my opinion the engineering at Starkey is deficient.
Would you honestly die to retain posession of your firearms?
The person attempting to separate a firearm from its owner is an agent of tyranny. It is moral, almost to the point of an obligation, to kill agents of tyranny or die trying.
Actually, creating "perfect" microphones is routine. Electret microphones can be tiny, flat from below 1 Hz to far above 20 kHz, and sell for $1 or less.
100,000:1 is 16.6 bits. That's roughly the range between white in the sunshine and black flocking in deep shade. Specular reflections and the sun add another 13 bits or so.
Assuming there isn't something wrong with the eye other than inability to focus at distance, the X/Y method of describing focusing ability is defective. Better is to state the number of diopters required to achieve infinity focus. By this metric, 20/20 could be as bad as -0.197. Eye doctors don't write prescriptions in X/Y, they use diopters.
Except for the few printers with dot size control, printer pixels are either full on or full off, whereas monitors are 8 bits per pixel. For a printer to get 256 shades of grey, a 16x16 array is required, so the 1200 dpi becomes 75 dpi. (There are some visual system effects that make the reduction not quite so severe, but the principle is correct.) My point is, except for line drawings, printouts and displays are not comparable.
It takes more than "comfortable shoes", it takes "very comfortable shoes": gum soles, gel inserts, and similar stuff. And keep moving, the circulation of blood and other fluids in important.
Computer and High-Tech fields lack women because the culture is viewed as being misogynistic
Nonsense. Fewer women enter the field, because they consider it boring, difficult, or inadequately well-paying compared to the effort involved. Men involved in high tech who are good at it love their work. Women tend to have other interests.
Bradbury never let facts or science get in his way. Whether it was his annoying religious beliefs or the embarrassing gush of "Golden Apples of the Sun", he and reason were strangers.
An absurd amount - often $100,000 per student per year - goes to "special ed" teachers attempting to educate the truly stupid, because a parent has sued the school district demanding that their moron get results as good as everyone else.
People in a house need to breathe. Even with perfect insulation, heating subfreezing air to room temperature takes as much energy as you generate by oxidizing food in your body to heat the air you breathe. A heat exchanger recovering the heat in air leaving the house to warm the entering air is also required.
I have a current DirecTV DVR and in the past had a DirecTIVO. Tivo updated the software for their DVR several times while I owned it. It was never as bad as the newer DirecTV DVR, which DirecTV has never bothered to update and which has several irritating flaws like falling out of menus. DirecTV isn't interested, and won't even respond to a written complaint.
What you look for in science depends upon the particular nature of the science in question. In archaeology, it is not good practice to dig up the entire surface of the earth looking for artifacts of A.E. to show that she wasn't in one particular place.
True money is specie -- coined gold. Fake money (fiat currency) is the used toilet paper that government produces.
Anyway, money is the property of the person in whose pocket it resides. You trade it with the government or other persons for products or services (or it's stolen from you.) It is not the government's money when it's in your pocket.
For practical purposes, property exists whenever it's relatively secure. It can be secured by government action, personal action, contracted private action, or by living among people who respect each other. Government is not necessary.
The thing is, you were given the answer and couldn't even deduce "famous". That's much easier than being given the accomplishment and being expected to produce the name.
If the island was mapped, they should have been found. Searching empty ocean after a couple of days would have been an inferior choice compared to looking at all known islands. It's not as if there are a lot of islands in the area, and Nikumaroro Island is about 3 miles long. Of course, if the island was unknown, that's hard luck.
High point on destroyers and other major surface warships is easily 100 feet, which gives a horizon of 12 statute miles. At 10 knots, that's over 3000 square statute miles per day per ship. I suppose the records of the search are available, and someone could find out if anyone looked in the area, and if yes, how close they came.
Some guns have a variety of mechanisms to reduce recoil and spread it out in space and time. There are even weapons with essentially no recoil, like a bazooka.
The violence-prone person unhappy with current government actions and policy does not attempt to militarily defeat the government. He observes that the balance of power is determined by fewer than 25 persons (all three branches) and acts accordingly.

He gets his ethics from the headlines of the popular press. No further explanation needed.
You've never seen a peat bog?
The kde taskbar has configurable size, and icons are available in a variety of sizes (or make your own, it's not that difficult.)

Monday: drive 20 miles round trip to supermarket to get 1 day's worth of food, so as not to be a "wasteful-hoarder"
Tuesday: drive 20 miles round trip to supermarket to get 1 day's worth of food, so as not to be a "wasteful-hoarder"
Wednesday: drive 20 miles round trip to supermarket to get 1 day's worth of food, so as not to be a "wasteful-hoarder"

Yup, that's how not to waste.

Alas, the current administration is a tyranny, ignoring law. It does whatever it can get away with.
