Mach is a relative measurment of speed and fluid temperature. example; Mach 1 at Sealevel (0 feet) is 761.2 MPH (Calibrated Airspeed) and 761.2 MPH(True Airspeed) Mach 1 at FL50 (Flight Level 50,000) is 285.8 MPH(CAS) and 660.05 MPH(TAS) Mach 6 at Sealevel (0 feet) is 4567.3 MPH(CAS and 4567.3 MPH(TAS) Mach 6 at FL50 (Flight Level 50,000) is 3147.97 MPH(CAS) and 3960.31 MPH(TAS)
So that's like going from Atlanta, Ga to Honolulu in just over an hour.
He's got this friend, see, who never thought it would happen to him.
It all began in line at the Apple store, and a warm hand brushed the back of his neck, and whispered, "You might like the way I look on that iPhone, but with your Android phone, you get it all, even the parts where iTouch myself."
Not being a fan of something doesn't mean you can't have respect for that thing or show an appreciation for the things that it does right.
I don't like Apple products very much, but they do a great job of being accessible computers and devices that people want to own. They just don't interest me very much.
I rewired my dryer last year, and it does use 2 phases. The power buses are staggered, so that one breaker is on a different bus from the one directly above it.
Your typical house has around 200 amp service at 220v coming in from the power company. The incoming wore goes through the meter and into your breaker box, which splits it into the 2 phases, one per bus. A double breaker (in my case a Square D brand) just snaps onto both buses (like here: Breaker box and gets a 220v current at the amperage of the breaker.
Electric stoves, heaters, and many power tools use 2 phase power. It's more efficient than single phase, and isn't as expensive as 3 phase (which is what industrial applications use).
I love my old Canoscan, too. Except Canon didn't release a driver for it under Windows 7. So now I'm considering loading up XP on a VM, and continuing to use it.
I have an older computer, with an older bluetooth KB/mouse set, and I can access anything I need to access in the BIOS or POST screens. My set came with a BT dongle, so I don't know if that's necessary or if it would work the same with integrated BT.
In fact, just last week my computer went a little crazy and I couldn't connect with either my keyboard or mouse. I rolled back my machine to an earlier state from a backup with no problems. So I couldn't do anything in the OS, but up until it loaded, it was fine.
I also want to give a quick plug for HPs MediaSmart servers. They're amazing little machines and doing a system restore was super easy. It took a long time, but the whole process was very simple and easy to follow.
HTPC input device would be something I would like.
I don't like trackballs, and keeping a big keyboard floating around the living room sucks.
It's not like you need a keyboard for 90% of the time you're using an HTPC, but that 10% is usually sort of critical, and using an on screen keyboard is barely above an exercise in futility.
So if it goes up for ~$80, I might buy it just to get rid of the keyboard and mouse setup I have in my living room.
$54,000 is still a crazy amount all things considered, but hopefully this judgment can stand as a sort of benchmark for future ones, even if it's not setting a precedent.
At first I thought it meant you were using terrorists to kill civilians, and I was trying to figure out what kind of delivery system that was going to use... like would you try to pick them up and throw them, or just drop them off a building or something, hoping to hit some poor schlub down at the bottom?
I don't have an axe to grind with Microsoft, and I like and use many of their products every day.
That said, I hope they do get nailed to the wall. The Slashdot community often rails against patent trolls venue shopping for their stupid lawsuits, because it's the best chance for a settlement in their favor.
Microsoft is doing nothing different; venue shopping to lessen their tax liability. It's dishonest, immoral, and it should be stopped. If Nevada is such a nice place to operate, then maybe they should have more of their operations there. As it stand, any corporation in the US could open a branch office there, then report whatever in that state, and whatever funds their actual home state would have received vanish.
This looks like a pretty transparent shell game, and I hope the regulators take steps to make sure it won't happen again.
It seems to me that if Apple gives you an iPod for review, then whenever you review it (i.e. make a subjective statement about it) online, you need to disclose the fact that Apple gave it to you.
That's such a stupid and short-sighted argument. Playing middle or high school football isn't about wanting to go pro or even wanting to play football in college. I spent 6 years playing football, and last time I checked, I only swing a hammer when I'm upgrading my house. One of my best friends played Iron Man football in high school, and he now has a ton of Cisco certifications and is an extremely well payed network engineer at a major telco.
Playing football in HS is about having something to do after school. Something that doesn't involve being lazy in front of a screen and thinking you're somehow superior to all those other kids out there.
$0.02 worth of black electrical tape and an admonition to not remove it on pain of a fine and an opportunity to have your very own jury will probably take care of that problem, if they even care. There are hundreds of mobile phone models out there with cameras in them, and you don't hear an uproar about those getting banned.
Who wants to pay $100+/mo for crappy speeds with spotty service and a 56kbps upload speed? I don't think you'll find too many people willing to shell out that kind of cash.
What I could see is a one-time USB dongle or something that is shipped to you, which you authenticate over your internet connection, then download to your machine.
After that, you just store the thumb drive somewhere, in case your machine dies, and there you go.

Or the equivalent of 50 Volkswagen Beetles.

That's also more than the number of people who use Google Wave!
Much like copyright terms then, I guess?

Overkill? Probably.
I believe USAA also has an app for the iPhone and Android systems where you can snap a photo and upload it.
I've been using Deposit@Home for a while now and it's awesome.

~$300 MSI Wind netbook, plus a copy of OS X, and you've got a nice little Hackintosh.
And enough money to buy a brand new Delta Unisaw for your house, if you want.

IDDQD was good, but was much better teamed up with IDKFA.
IDSPISPOPD was fun for a while, but I really only used it to find the easter eggs in Doom2.

These guys also got the Nobel prize this year for their work on the CCD. That's worth a mention too, I think!

Nah. They'll probably contract with General Mills.

That sounds like a grand idea! I look forward to your in-depth blog about it in the near future. :-)
