10th of June? Last time I check my Document of Doom (you know, that little card you get to remind you that voting is mandatory and they know who you are and where you live?) those electrions are sunday 13th of june. Then again I happen to live in Flanders, so it might differ in other parts of the European Reigh.
I really hate it when they ruin a perfectly good sunday morning.
I agree, If I get to choose between being with my gf or playing games, well, the games don't stand a chance. Games are a way to escape reality. Guess I like reality now.
I guess our single friends on/. will understand this as soon as they meet that one special person. And yes, it's possible. Even I succeeded in meeting my one special girl.
How would they handle very bright IR-light?
Part of my graduation project a few years ago was IR-beacon. I used several very powerfull IR-leds (could handle 100mA If, I used them pulsed at 0.5A IIRC). This beacon could light up a room when seen through a digital camera.
Dump a few of these around in the theater and I'll bet those who get to wear those NVGs are going to get a serious headache.
It was nice to be able to check my e-mail and look at research sites online right then and there rather than either having to dial in or wait until I got home.
hmmm,
1)set up an unsecure WiFi.
2)add fake mailservers.
3)log passwords.
4)?????
5)profit!
Would be fun wouldn't it?
Monday: "Hey, that idiot didn't secure his network"
Tuesday: "wtf! Someone stole my email account!"
So, I'd be hard pushed not to get another, even with their ethics problems. Guess I'm a lazy consumer and part of the problem:\
Guess this is the mind set of most people. Once they've had a good product from company X, it makes sense they'll buy from company X again. Buying from unknown company Y would be a bigger risk, even if company X has the habit of raping weaker social classes. (Nike anyone?)
The whole issue is that those people who're abused by company X are just an abstract piece of information for most people. But have one of company X's costumers meet a few of their victims and that custumer isn't going to buy from X ever again. Because then the victims aren't an abstraction anymore, but real people with faces.
Considering how many companies these days are part of a multinational corporation, chances are you do pay for it indirectly.
The world is a becoming a village.
You know, that keyboard your touching is full of germs too. And that piece of soap you used this morning is covered with them as well.
You see those walls around you? They're full of them too. Those windows? Covered as well. Your door? Billions of germs covering evert square cm. Even the floor you're resting your feet on...
They are everywhere. You can't escape them. The germs have you...

Nope. Originaly 100% was the best efficency a boiler could have, but this already took the loses because of the escaping water vapor in account. This didn't mend that 100% of the energy was transferd from fuel to hot water.
Newer boilers allow the water to condensate and retrieve some of the latent heat. This latent heat was originaly considered lost and wasn't included in the way they calculated efficiency. Since these new boiler retrieve that energy, but their efficency is still calculated in the same way, you'll end up with +100% efficencies.
It's a bit odd, but it does allow to compare both new and older boilers.
Condensation is a real issue, too. The now liquid water starts to absorb those sulphur and nitrogen compounds to create some very strong acids.
Only with older boilers. Modern boilers have an efficiency of over 100%. This is because with older boilers the latent heat in water vapor was concidered lost because the condensation would corrode the boiler. Modern boilers aren't effected by this corrotion and therefore are designed to have the water vapor condensate and so release more energy. Since they used the older methode for calculating boiler efficency this results in over 100% efficency.
From what I remember from one of my thermodynamics classes.
She constantly buys bad DVDs and doesn't watch them even ONCE
Wait, isn't that a good thing? I would expect you would hate it if she did watch them.
Anyone got any advice?!
How about you 2 start communicating? If you can't communicate in a relationship, it won't last very long. You want advice? Find a quite place and spend a few hours discussing your differences without yelling or being childish. After that you'll either have a healthy relationship, or you'll break up.
And another free advice: Don't ask for relation advice on/. It's like asking Saddam advice on human rights.
What we need is a labour union for geeks.
On our own we can't do anything about this, but we are numerous, together we do have the power to make companies behave themselfs. It's time we bring together this power and use it to get all the wrong do-ers back in line.
We won't accept no DMCAs anymore, we won't bow down for DRM, MS shall not control us. RIAA will not lead us quitely into the night.
Geeks of the world, now it's time to rise up and tell them "no" in one strong, united voice.
(and please don't start with the 'rap sucks blah blah blah' arguments)
Why? Who doesn't like hearing some guys complaining about their life and bragging about how "bad" they are? Oke, you can all lower your hands again. It was a rethorical question.

Bunnies? Right. Show your SO those pictures of the bunnies and then convince her you're only reading the articles.
No, that's what I mend with "probably". It seems to me it's the electronic equivalent of entering a unlocked house.

Not to give people ideas ofcourse.

2)add fake mailservers.
3)log passwords.

No it's not. I just checked. It's light-grey with a touch of white.
Probably as legal as entering an unlocked house.

Just my 2 cents.
This leaves less money for Joe Junior's education. Guess who's going to pay the shortage?

Who's Natalie Portman? And what are grits? What are you talking about?
Impossible. All nuclear, biological and chemical weapons of the world detonated on Y2K. Humanity is extinct. You're death. Learn to live with it.

Call Canada the 50th state.
In the sixties they knew perfectly what to do when The Bomb would fall:
Hide under the table. Cover head with arms.
I bet it would work just as well as asteroid inpact protection.

I don't think TV was a Nazi invention.
Dude, that would take all the fun out of it. I guess you never had the pleasure to ruin someones hopes just by point to a small line of text.
