laptop has svideo out. TV has svideo in. It works for video but the resolution sucks, that is, unless you're looking for that legacy Atari / Commodore look and feel.
I was in my 30's at the time. The people who clearly caused the accidents (and were charged as such) were in their teens and early 20's. By young, I meant very young.
No problem. I've got an environmental test chamber which I can use to bring the entire system to -40C. Had it at -75C last week; but, I don't think it could reach that temp with the heat load of a PC. Wonder what numbers I'd get.
Not possible. No matter how far and fast medical technology improves, someone will always be able to fuck up bad enough to cause a fatality, at least eliminating themselves.
On a serious note... There's no excuse for the kid left in the car. But there is existing technology to handle this: If there's a person in the car and the interior temperature exceeds x, automatically roll down the windows and set off the alarm.
That answer works for me. As I said, I have seen #4 buck recommended from time to time suggested as the smallest to use for defensive purposes. Birdshot (the parent's suggestion) will work if you're within a few feet; but, it's less than ideal.
You missed the point... There's no such thing as #40 birdshot. And if I shoot at someone, it's with the intention of killing them. Not maiming them, wounding them, or slowing them down. I will use something that's effective from across the length of my house (40') against a determined man wearing a leather jacket. So, I'll stick with buckshot, thank-you.
Claymores leave an awful mess. Chemical weapons, made of household chemicals easily obtained at the hardware store will burn (if not disable) the invader and are easier to clean up. And you have plausible deniabiliity: "Officer, I have no idea why this person decided to enter my house then douse himself with a concentrated mix of bleach, ammonia and drain cleaner."
What the hell is #40 birdshot? fine sand? There's a #4 birdshot and #4 buckshot. #4 buckshot works well against human sized targets and is the minimum anyone usually recommends for self defense.
the IBM 2.88MB floppy came out at the same time as the Iomega cartridge drives and a number of floppy sized optical drives. There were a number of better solutions; none of which were compatible. Also available at the time were inexpensive write once CD's. None of these were even remotely compatible, which is why there was no consensus. Personally, I used the CD's (I still have a spindle each of blank 80cm and 120cm CD-R disks).
I usually don't have a problem replacing wall warts... but I'll just jump on Digikey, order the adapter with the right output and a connector. I also save all the old ones and re-purpose them as needed (again, replacing the connector if necessary)
Or you could send up a few nukes to geosync orbit. That'll vaporize most things from there on down. Anything that survives will have had an impulse give it a downward push; so, it will be headed toward the atmosphere. Then we can launch new satellites to replace those we lost. We'll be guaranteed control of the sky then...
isolated and separate control circuit with redundant power and radio. Satellite can command initiation; or, ground command to built in reciever can initiate. Said redundant power could be a few solar cells on the surface of the package and a redundant radio could be small simple receive only package that listens for a specific tone code at a specific low band frequency with a simple antenna. Whole thing could be the size of and simpler than a cell phone circuit board.
better to have a solid material that can be electrically ignited and produces the gas necessary. More compact than a bottle of compressed gas that'll have to be maintained for 10-20 years. fwiw, this is your automative airbag's mechanism.
Well, we haven't outlawed hunting yet and we do have a few (hundred thousand square miles of) substantial parks and wilderness areas; so... might be a good reason to have a shotgun or rifle or even a large caliber handgun.
Sure it will. Look inside that big box. Lots of components made by various manufacturers. One power supply built to a standard. Standard voltages = 12V, 5V, 3.3V. Everything uses one of the above and has a standard connector. Any other requirements are created by the component as needed, from one of the standard voltages.
As to the "old" method of having one big box... You don't go back far enough. Before the "old" big box, there were older stacks and racks of separate boxes.
To be honest, I suspect, for the most part, it will remain in one box. Intels proposal is for a modular approach that could very easily be contained in a single system chassis.
No. Power is easy. Again, like the old days... One large power supply module with a cable jumpering modules together. Then it can be as efficient as you want.
That's what I was thinking: This is going back to the way it was in the mini-computer era. CPU in one box. Additional memory in another. Framebuffer in a third. Disk in a fourth...

that's if they haven't found a way to screw up the backup.

Nope... Sadly, car bombs have proven that a stationary car with no (remaining) passenger or pilot space can be quite fatal.

Seriously dude, if you're that worried then use your 1337 haxor skilz and reflash the damn computer(s).
Wait... You can get a semi to 200mph?

That's funny... All the people who've caused accidents I was involved in were young.
They wouldn't have survived the Claymore blast either. Well, maybe the cat would (nine lives and all).

But, my teacher said Pi is 22/7. Surely that's close enough.

Satellites rarely have any magnetizeable materials inside. Titanium and aluminum and non-magnetic stainless steels are fairly standard.
