I was actually just being snarky and making a funny, but once you started to rant, it did make me happy that you weren't enjoying it.
Eh? The guy was sharing some good information that's highly relevant to the discussion on a subject he's clearly knowledgeable about. I find it kind of sad that on a site supposedly for nerds, you confuse an infodump for a rant.
Also, gravity wave != wind, it seems. But can someone explain the difference? Reading the wikipedia article on "gravity wave", it still sounds like a wind to me.
Wind is driven by pressure delta. I have no idea why they focus on gravity wave unless it involves a massive amount of material in the atmosphere of the mentioned medium area, that gravity has such a powerful visible effect on due to its density, that we have to play with words because the density is so high we have to give it a new term to paint a picture in someone's head of the magnitude of the effect. Sort of like "fucking awesome" -vs- "pretty cool"....? *shrug*
Another, who tried to cancel their 7-day free trial was denied a refund even though they cancelled within a week. (The rep told them they had to cancel by 7 PM EST, and the customer was on central time, making them an hour late).
...and this, ATT, is why having globalized and outsourced call centers, with machine making decisions that Humans can't override costs, more money than just fucking paying people to do a job and make rational decisions in customer service.
And therein lies the answer. We choke ISIS out with an army of deadwood patent attorneys.
I thought you were going to say "choke ISIS out with an army of returned Li ion explosive batteries"... wow. I guess I'm thinking of a way of disposing of dangerous waste products in a way that's inhuman and unacceptable to anyone but a group like ISIS... but hey... patent attorneys was a much more realistic ending to the sentence my brain's pre-read.;)
With each iteration of Windows Microsoft has made it more and more difficult to find and change settings on your own machine, even going so far as to move settings from one area they've been in for the longest time to a completely different and unrelated section
Now comes the updates. In the past one could easily find what the update entailed by reading the update itself (not always helpful) or by clicking the link Microsoft provided. Instead of that easy process one will now have to jump through hoops to find what they want.
Considering how often we hear Microsoft's software is supposed to make life easier, they sure seem to be going out of their way to make it more difficult.
I think the second line sentences are a way of saying, "A way for Microsoft 'to just get you to install their fucking update or whatever they call an update and stop spending time finding out what it is and making choices as to whether or not you want them. Just fucking do it, already.'"
Probably a typo, you listed it backwards. GET is cacheable, POST is not, by definition.
GET puts the parameters in the URL specifically so that a cache can return the proper resource based on the URL - users.doc?page=2 will return the second page of users.
POST *creates* something on the server or otherwise alters it, so just returning a cached response without sending the post to the origin isn't the same at all. You can't cache create_user.do, you actually have to send the command to the server each time you want to create a user.
With the introduction of quantum computing, yes, POST will be able to be cached. Or not cached. Or cached a little. *failed drumroll*
You are right the more potential energy something holds the greater potential for a dangerous failure. The real trick to making these energy sources is to arrange them in a way that they can release their energy safely under conditions that the device is expected to operate with some wiggle room for some abuse. Sure we can out energy or current batteries with a better substance. But can we have it safe enough to operate under normal conditions? This article isn't about allowing us to make more hazardous batteries. But just a better fail state. Because current failure conditions are rather hazardous. From the like aircraft, to hover boards, to cell phones all catching on fire often due underestimating the power sources current volatility. A safe fail. Will be annoying as many of these devices don't have replacement batteries. But at least you won't get injured from them.
You mean like the rest of the "safety measures" the U.S. puts into place on products after "accidents" occur? All forms of batteries will be outlawed in 10...9..8...7...
You HAVE to read the label! It is Yellow Cake Mix... So you have to provide some ingredients. Also, some assembly* required. *You may want to move your oven outdoors...
Some kid already tried that. Apparently, "outdoors" isn't far enough. LOL
Still need to work out a few problems with the Plutonium-Lithium battery I'm developing. Those pesky laws about who can buy the raw materials is making development difficult. And I suing Duncan-Heinz, that box of yellow cake I bought didn't have any fissile materials in it at all!
OMG I laughed for a good 5 minutes non-stop. That's some good shit!.:D
Unfortunately, you just gave lawyers the idea for a new class-action lawsuit for the mislabeling of anything with the words "cake" and "yellow" in their name. Bye, bye sweet food; bye-bye! *waves* LOL I'm laughing again!

They would need a massive battery to store all that power to make this work. They clearly haven't thought it through.
See, factories and cars are exactly the same, so they have thought it through very well... and are definitely not doing it to create a completely inefficient system with a PF of 0.21 just to make the future prospective buyers of their products want them more. Hey, there are solar panels there! That means they work!/sarcasm:)
Baseload is one of those talking points which get repeated and repeated again, but no one actually enumerates the baseload. How much energy do we have to provide constantly at a minimum?
does the general public enable developer mode and then disable caching? the test is "fictitious" in the sense that they need a reproducible way to measure battery life across hardware platforms. the numbers they produce are not applicable to real world conditions, but give a sense of how various laptops compare to each other.
Good point. CR should say that, "Because Apple fixed the bug for us that only appeared because of the way we do our testing, we approve of the test results - here they are..." CR's response is highly inappropriate for the situation at hand. Happy now?
Can you please provide evidence that Apple provided anything other than a fixed product that was previously broken, in exchange for an updated review?
I don't need to because you missed the point - the comment ended with/sarcasm. Historically and based on numbers and Human behavior, it would be expected to have a company pay to shut people up or have an opinion changed because it's faster and easier, or because they just want to. In this case, they actually fixed a bug and got a better review as a result. I'm not used to seeing that.
I am. I don't have kids and I refuse to do so. There, I'm leading by example. See? It doesn't have the slightest influence because it's unacceptable to deal with the reality of over-population leading us where we *say* we don't want to go.
Agreed. However, that won't cut it. Population continues to increase. Unfortunately, because of copyright I can't write a book about the inconvenient truth of population reduction being the only "long-term, sustainable" solution. Of course, Humans can't accept that so I'm just making noise.;)
Damnit. You mean that the first result set WASN'T released just to prompt Apple to give them a bunch of cash for a BETTER result? It was really a bug? Shucks. The economy isn't working like it used to anymore./sarcasm
Have you found a compelling way, though, to use your phone with tethering to provide broader network access, though?
I made a half-assed attempt, thinking it would be reasonable on a short-term basis to use it as failover interface with pfsense. The challenge I have is getting the tethering network accessible to my LAN. I rummaged through my collection of access points and couldn't get one that would attach as a bridging peer to the phone's internal access point.
Phone would show a connected hotspot device, but the APs would never gain an IP address.
Sorry for the delay - These work. I've done it and it works, but I stopped because, you know, I have no economical or social reason to do it. Just tested. I now just use wired internet->wireless->repeater with said repeater.

I welcome our future furry little psychotic overlords.
Activating the kill switch didn't teach them to read. They won't read your comment, and eat you anyway.
...only after I have died and they have run out of food. Or do only cats do that? Or both? Eh, let's get a grant and test.
Maybe I have been watching too much DS9?
Have you been doing that a lot since you became very laid back?
I'll give you a nod of accomplishment with this humor. It forced a smile for more than 10 seconds. :)

It's Microsoft, so it is probably a way of delivering abuse.

Did Duncan Hines and KraftHeinz merge and I didn't hear about it?
Psh.. yah. They switch names like every 32 hours and have a current goal of reaching a 24 hour switch-around.

The Dutch Railways are now completely wind powered as of Jan 1 2017. Apparently they don't need baseload power plants.
I've yet to read about PF correction in a non-grid electrical setup. Not to mention 3 phase. I'd love to see that stuff.
Volkswagen started it. *ducks*
