Saving on salt might be the better of the 2 evils. Madison WI is having a well water contamination issue due to road salt.

Well, to their credit, they aren't (at least according to TFS) solar, just heated. and being porous, they can be connected to the storm drain, maybe with a flow sensor under them, so they only stay on long enough to clear the road/sidewalk/business entrance.
I really see this as no different than heat tape in the gutter, or roof heaters. you only run them for a half hour, snow/ice melt fairly easily, and then your good until the next 4 letter event.
here in northern Wisconsin we already use those things I mention as well as corn boilers to melt driveways.
Actually, it's the same thing as mastercard/visa tap and go. you just wave the phone/card over the POS and proceed as normal. the android/apple/samsung/lg pay is just the companies going through regulatory checks, then they just get seen as another chase/capitol one clone.
if you see this, it should work. (although i've only seen it without the hand)
x86 up to the pentium MMX level should be out in the open. patents only last 15 years. start with that, add our own versions of the media codecs, we could call it x86-libre or something.
I work for a gas station where my boss is really pushing for the new hardware. We were supposed to have the new hardware last october, and the software this october. also we have a ATM that is SUPPOSED to be chip ready. they won't give us a ETA for the POS (point of sale. aka cash registers) and the vendor for the ATM doesn't have any matching answers either. My boss will get any number of answers depending on who he talks to.
Last week, we had a tech from the ATM company who was supposed to enable the ATM for the chip. our understanding was he just had to swap the reader and enable it in software. The tech instead came up (4 hour drive) to tell us he didn't have a compatable reader in stock, and that we had to wait until they did. (or he would sell us a pre-assembled ready to go unit for $5000, ours is 4 months old.)
As for slow, I can tell you that is a function of the connection type. our POS Dealer has a contract with Huges Net (sattelite) for our current system. takes about 8 seconds to negotiate due to ping limitations. if they scan a rewards card, add 15 seconds between hitting subtotal and again after hitting the payment method.
the new POS system, they wanted to originally have it cellular based, but considering the quality of service around here, no thanks. My boss pushed and found out broadband was a option (the on site tech had no idea) but we need a dedicated line just for that (no sharing the current Internet) with a cellular as backup.
Still no ETA on when they will swap the hardware for either company
Oh and the companies are Cardtronics (ATM) and Verifone(POS)
Same here, bottom right, "send feedback"
I use it all the time, I’ve sent a few dozen corrections, and i get a email in a couple days thanking me for helping.
mirroring only protects against hardware failure. if you have a software error, you get hacked, the OS decided to implode that day....etc, the damage will be on both drives at the same time. My boss found that one out.
He was in the "drive mirror is the best backup" camp, I'm firmly in the "sync and unplug a USB HD". his version of windows deep-6'ed itself, his drives were past recovery with common tools, and had to start over. lost all his business e-mail, and a lot of important documents, thankfully, he was able to restore most of it by asking others about their backups. now, he still has the mirror, but has a USB HD in his filling cabinet that he syncs once a month.
i find it frustrating that the only cost effective way to backup a current hard disk is via another hard disk.
you can change rotation speed by moving where the mass is located, consider a ice skater spinning. pull the arms in, spin faster, move them out, spin slower
no, sigil.

calibre is wonderful for sorting a finished product, but the conversion tool usually does more harm than good.
used for that, you would be better off using a light behind a fan, and feed the exhaust to a old nylon sock. spray the sock with alcohol before you empty it. skeeters can't fly against a wind, so they head towards the light, and get trapped. the alcohol kills them by dehydration. This method kills a local population fairly effectively.
I live in a small town, about a hour and a half from ANY major population. I have a.2 acre lot, 2 bedroom house, full basement, 2.5 car garage 20 foot spacing between the homes. I paid $30k for the house.
My mother lives 30 minutes from Milwaukee. 1/4 the lot, 3 bedroom. Full Basement, Compact car garage, and the house sits 15 feet from a BUSY street (so not a prime location) 5 foot spacing between homes. $200k.
to be fair, you probably would have melted that tray with a "dumb" oven anyways....... (who looks in the oven before setting the Preheat for pizza? I don't)
A friend of mine got a TV (can't remember the brand) from a raffle. he doesn't have internet, and the tv will NOT let him use it if he isn't connected to the network to agree to the TOS.
they put a (rfid?) ring under the top foil that the coffee machine detects when you close it. you can cut the ring out and tape it to the top of the cup bin, and bypass the drm.
that is true now, but amazon had lots of drm in their stuff back then. the videos transcoded inside WMP and applied DRM back in, and every once in a while, i had to re-sync the license or the player would whine at me. (audio files too) Amazon has since made the (audio) less evil, but the video has become more restricted.
side note, audible (owned by amazon) links into itunes, but to watch a amazon video, you need a separate app. odd.

I dunno, Budweiser and Monster have figured out the resealable can thing, oh yeah and NOS

The tesla battery is just that, a battery. you need to add a inverter and charger yourself
try the snoopy hot dog toaster. hot grease sizzling near toasting elements might give you that feeling back.
my mom bought one of these from shopko this spring, it did the buns great on 1 run, but the dogs had to go twice to be hot enough.

Well, I for one am happy to have a physical location to bring a defective device back and get a replacement that day.
you forgot the glaring silently with the "i will kill you in your sleep" thing
