I assume that if you are pumping water into the reservoir the first thing you're going to do is stop draining said reservoir, or at least turn it down to some minimum amount if you can't completely shut it off for some reason. This of course will stop the flow. If you put your pump at the base of the dam you'll quickly run out of water to pump back into the reservoir. If you put it 20 miles downstream, and assuming the water flows at 5 MPH, you can now pump for 4 hours before you run out of water to pump back into the dam.
If they wanted to, they could go all the way to Lake Mohave which would allow them to run the pumps for a very long time. But that would be about 60 miles or so. I'm sure they did some analysis and decided that 20 miles would give them a long enough time, most of the time.
The Coffee Lake i7's are 6 cores / 6 threads. So the i5 is basically the i7 with hyperthreading disabled, just like most previous generations. It's a near certainty they are the same silicon.
The difference is soon the i7 will basically be the i9 with hyperthreading disabled.
Read the fine summary. They aren't removing hyper-threading, it's just that you don't get it on the i7 - you have to pony up the cash for the i9*. Kind of like how you now generally don't get hyperthreading on the desktop i5's - you've got to buy the i7. It's just Intel playing their market segmentation games again.
* Or buy an i3 or a Pentium or whatever where you suddenly get hyperthreading again, but less cores.
I have to agree. I complain about their tools, but truth be told they actually are some of the best out there.
With that said, some of their stuff like SourceTree really is awful. Luckily it's just a GUI wrapper for Mercurial/Git so there's plenty of alternatives.
I can understand the desire to create a desktop application. But why tie yourself to Windows? I would be especially concerned if you're embedding Windows into something like a cash register because Microsoft is liable to take Windows in a direction that won't work for you, and you can only buy older versions of Windows for so long before Microsoft decides they won't license new copies any longer. Or, as more recently demonstrated, could decide they suddenly won't support your hardware any longer with your chosen version of Windows.
Even if you decide to stick with Windows for the time being, it would be a good idea to build your application to be cross-platform so you could switch away from Windows more easily in the future.
Windows 98 nowadays would be security through obscurity. It's different enough from the NT line that most attacks on XP and later simply aren't going to work on it. The number of Windows 98 machines on the internet is small enough that no one is going to bother targeting them. I still wouldn't do it, but you would likely be safer now than you would have been 15 years ago.
Depending on your interest in sports, you might find a lot of that content is available no additional cost over the one time expense of buying an antenna. Though that generally will only gets you the local teams for your market. And admittedly one of the ways the cable companies are fighting the cord cutters is inking deals to move more and more of that content onto paid TV services. On the upside, the video/audio quality of the OTA broadcast often exceeds that of the paid TV services.
In the US, if it doesn't have a tuner, it can't legally be called a TV. So generally all TV's have a coax input, the exception being some portables that instead have a built-in antenna.
There area handful of devices that look like TV's but don't have a tuner input. You'll notice the manufacturers are careful to call them something else like a "home theater display" or something like that.
The Thinkpads as well as similar machines like the Dell Precisions are usually do a pretty good job of keeping themselves cool enough. The machines that tend to cook themselves to death are the gaming laptops, especially the ones that have desktop components crammed into them. I've always assumed the target market for gaming laptops is probably going to be upgrading them fairly often so the manufacturers build them to last about 3 years and call it good enough.
It seems the easy solution would be if the airline isn't using enough of their slot, but is close enough, allow them to pay a fee that would let them keep the slot. Set the cost of the fee to be slightly below the cost of running a ghost flight. Use the money to fund infrastructure improvements.
The last mass-produced CRT's probably were about 10 years ago. Price of gold 10 years ago is in the same ballpark as it is today.
There's no way there's 5.6 grams of gold in a typical old CRT. If there was, you'd see zero old TVs and computer monitors by the side of the road or sitting next to dumpsters.
Or my guess is you get stuffed in a van with 5 other people going to 5 different destinations, all kind of along the way to where you are going. This will save fuel over dispatching 6 different vehicles so everyone can get a ride directly to where they want to go.
Supposedly they know the serial numbers of all the bills they gave him. If the money was spent, entered the money supply, and started to circulate, inevitably some of it would make it back to the US one way or another. And it wouldn't surprise me either if some foreign banks also check serial numbers of US currency that passes through them.
I guess it's possible that the money was spent once and now is just sitting in someone's vault Scrooge McDuck style, but that seems unlikely.
As far as I can tell, Eizo is still in business and is still making eye watering expensive (but very good) monitors. I don't think they are making that 1:1 monitor anymore, though they are one of the few still making a 4:3 monitor (4:3 monitors are pretty rare nowadays - almost all the remaining non-widescreen monitors are actually 5:4).
I don't know about that. Windows ME had some stability issues, but it at least respected my settings. I could turn something off or change a default and it stayed that way. Windows Update only ran when I told it to. Windows wouldn't change a driver because it thought it knew better. Applications didn't randomly disappear. The UI was much better too - responsive, consistent, and easy to get around once you knew the basics (granted, Windows ME didn't try anything radical in the UI department - it was basically the same familiar 98SE/2000 UI).
The big difference is with Windows ME, it was still my computer and I had control over it. With Windows 10 I may have bought the hardware, but it's Microsoft's computer and Windows will do what it wants and there's fuck all I can do about it short of wiping and installing another OS.
If anything, the Korean car makers might be interested. They've been trying and failing to establish a luxury brand for some time now - the Tesla brand would be perfect (Toyota already has Lexus). They also seem to be a bit late to the electric car game, so they could use the tech a lot more than Toyota needs it.
The thing with the Model 3 is that the touchscreen is the interface to the entire car. It would be like trying to use a smartphone with the screen out. Granted, it still has pedals and a steering wheel. I've never driven one so maybe you can turn it on and get it to go forward and reverse without the touchscreen. But given you need the touchscreen to do things like engage the wipers and turn on the defroster, if the screen goes out it's something that will need to be fixed.
They aren't worried about the $50 lightweight drones you can buy from the toy store. Those really don't pose a serious threat to aircraft because they weigh almost nothing and are flimsy plastic things. Besides, given that range on those is a few hundred feet, whoever is operating it would be close by (which means being close enough to fly one over a raging wildfire is suicidal). It's the drones that cost thousands of dollars and can weigh several pounds or more, and can be operated remotely by someone miles away which are causing problems. For the most part, these weigh considerably more than a bird.
Besides, there really isn't anything they can do about birds and the occasional bird strike is a fact of life - but there is something they can do about drones.

Actually 100 degrees is pretty damn cold.
Oh wait, you're using some silly temperature scale that doesn't set the bottom of the scale to be 0?

That's true with browsers like Firefox. I just tried Chromium with a site with a self-signed certificate, and it simply refuses to connect at all.

Why? A laptop is a lot more likely to walk off than a desktop.
The Thinkpads as well as similar machines like the Dell Precisions are usually do a pretty good job of keeping themselves cool enough.

I've always assumed the target market for gaming laptops is probably going to be upgrading them fairly often so the manufacturers build them to last about 3 years and call it good enough.
Giving the moon an atmosphere (assuming it could hold onto it) would help a lot with that problem too.

It's not that we would have the tech at some point, the point is that it's required to board an airplane.
I'm pretty sure that most the US population doesn't support downing planes with bombs, tacitly or otherwise.
We also have strawberry milk too. And yes, it's disgusting. One of the big problems is that it's almost always made out of skim milk.
It doesn't seem to be a big seller where I'm at, but they must sell enough of it to keep stocking it.

Chances are the vast majority of those sites are just scams and don't actually have any of the content they claim they have.
