There are ways to obtain usable energy that do not involve the production of CO2, like solar, wind, nuclear fission, eventually nuclear fusion. Maybe you've heard of them?
By EU rules, Slashdot would be responsible for the editing. I am incapable of doing so, as there is not and never has been a provision for editing comments once committed.
At the same time, people who have been accused of one thing and subsequently "convicted" on a lesser count (or nothing at all) deserve to have the original charge properly tagged with the resolution of the case. A mere retraction after the fact is insufficient. It needs to be in plain view from the moment the original complaint is referenced.
But it's not because of the weather per se, it stopped raining a couple days ago.
No, I have a nasty respiratory infection that has me coughing so much, my ribcage muscles are cramping under the load. If I start shivering -- even a little bit -- those muscles go into cramp mode. So I can't be outside, even a mere hour from now.
I've photographed the sequence before, and pretty much lost to clouds around the same time the redness fully set in. I've posted it, too. But I remember how cold I was then, and that was October weather rather than January.
If you work hard enough, you can fit six or seven minutes on one side of a 78. The most obvious way is by expanding it to 12" instead of 10". However, this means mastering it at a lower volume level (thus more noise) so generally it was just expansion of the disc without groove packing, and that gave only about 5 and a half minutes. Holst led a performance of The Planets that was much, much faster than anyone performs it today, specifically so each movement would fit on one side of such a record.
Summary is incorrect when it says "MIDI was introduced at the 1983 NAMM show... The standard basically hasn't changed." The first half is true. The follow-on isn't.
I don't object at all to extending MIDI, but I think they should have called it Global MIDI or Universal MIDI or Modern MIDI or something in keeping with the General MIDI naming tradition.
The universe is under no obligation to make sense to primates that evolved for life on the savannahs of Africa. It's rather amazing that natural laws are amenable to logic, mathematics, and thought experiments, and that scientists so often guess right. In other words, this is the wrong question.

Short answer: you can either hide them behind different switches, or the network is going to keep alternately connecting one (which disconnects the other), then the other, since it can't tell them apart.
Any time I've used a modified MAC address, I've set it to appear to be an iPhone, because it's just easier to hide in the sea than in a water hazard. If I get booted off (for being there too long or whatever), I'll spin up another, but with the same device manufacturer range.
Their batteries are great. Maybe they are only Zinc low capacity ones, but for stuff like remote controls that's fine
Their batteries are garbage. They have no quality control whatsoever, and they don't keep whether you use them or not.
That sounds like an indictment of carbon-zinc batteries to me, because it has been shown multiple times that the only thing that matters is battery chemistry and (to a lesser extent) construction. A Sunbeam battery from the dollar store is identical to a Sunbeam battery from the pharmacy that costs three times as much.
As for rechargeables, I don't want my NiMHs outside where they can disappear or walk away. Also, I use all the ones I have between the various wireless input devices, the laser pointers, remote controls, Wiimotes (yes I still have and use a Wii console), etc. To me, the cost of committing Eneloops to temperature sensor duty exceeds 50 cents a year. They also get thermally cycled by being outdoors, which some sources indicate reduces the number of charge cycles available.
I also have some voltage-sensitive devices such as a camera that really wants to see 3.15V out of two AAs. Eneloops should in theory work fine, but in practice they don't. When the camera declares them dead and shuts down, they will work a treat in some other device for quite a while longer. Even carbon-zinc batteries function for longer, although it's really only happy with alkaline or lithium. Still, if I find I don't have a set of just-out-of-the-charger Eneloops, I'll reach for the carbon-zinc for the camera because it will get through the event. A couple months later when I need the camera again, it will have sucked the batteries dry and forgotten its settings, regardless of what kind they were. Why should that be $2 worth of alkalines instead of $0.50 worth of carbon-zinc?
Those tubes are a shit design. I've never managed to use one up before it dries out.
The little bottles work much better, and also come in twin-packs for a dollar. If they start to dry out, the nozzle clogs and the drying stops. You'll need to needle out the bottle before you can use it again, but at least you can use it again.
A pound of black beans at the supermarket is $1.69. A pound of black beans at the dollar store is $1.00. What's this about small portions? They look identical to me.
Now there is plenty of cheap crap like Bar S hot dogs that have bone meal ground in and therefore taste like sawdust, and imitation cheese that really shouldn't be considered food, but you can buy that crap at the grocery too -- for considerably more money in many cases. The trick is to hit the dollar store, buy what is worth buying, and then head to the grocery store to complete your list. Don't compromise what you want, just try getting as much as cheaply as possible before resorting to the better-stocked but more expensive market.
I don't know what you're talking about. Carbon-zinc batteries are the right choice for low drain devices that operate for months or even years at a time, such as wall clocks. They're a decent choice for outdoor temperature sensors, although you will have to swap them out TWICE a year instead of once. This is still much cheaper, at the cost of convenience. You may not find it worthwhile to save a few dollars if your temperature sensor is inaccessible, but if you just leave it on the front porch like I do, they work fine.
I also use the 9V in guitar pedals when necessary, specifically because they're two for a dollar and will still get me through the gig if I have a balky power supply.
Daiso exists in the U.S. There's one within easy walking distance. Most everything is under $3, and some of it is actually useful. Need a cheap watch you won't care about breaking, but that also doesn't look like it was shit out by Bender? Try Daiso,
Also, if you can steer for the white water in the wake of a boat, you may not have to take the full brunt of hitting the water. I'm sure it would scare the shit out of the people on that boat though, as it would almost certainly appear you were attempting to land on them.

I see no possible way this could turn ordinary broke people into murderhobos when confronted on a daily basis. What could possibly go wrong?
Nah, don't remove them. Just set the default on the sorting options to only look back X years. If someone wants to go back further, they can.
"I was ordered by the CEO to leave this review on pain of termination of employment. Five stars!"
That's how I would handle it.

In this particular case, the malapropism works just fine because of who is attempting to act. (Hint: they reign.)
And in Spanish it's EEUU (Estados Unidos -- since both are plurals, the initials are doubled).

It shouldn't, but that's the way the EU decided to implement it.

That red shadow light (which is earthglow) is always there, it's just usually way below the level of illumination provided by the sun.
Summary is incorrect when it says "MIDI was introduced at the 1983 NAMM show... The standard basically hasn't changed." The first half is true. The follow-on isn't.
MIDI received a major upgrade in 1991 in the form of General MIDI, which dealt with many of the things previously left open to interpretation by manufacturers, such as what order the instruments should go in the patch bank. That's the original MIDI 2.0, we just weren't quite as keen to use that particular notation (outside of software) yet.
I don't object at all to extending MIDI, but I think they should have called it Global MIDI or Universal MIDI or Modern MIDI or something in keeping with the General MIDI naming tradition.

Not very well.
