The reason 5V needs such big wires is that people are running 5A at 5V. Why yes, I do have a 5A charger for my phone. And yes, it does run at 5A. Rather than that silliness, people should step up voltages. But the ubiquity of 5V is such that the devices use it even if not appropriate. If 12V were more available, or 24V or 48V, I think that devices would abandon 5V for something higher.
Ah, so that's why the Republicans try to sabotage the economy every chance they get, so we'll never be "good enough" to allow in those evil immigrants.
You can sue for non-money as well. It just works out better when the non-money has a monetary value. You can sue for a retraction of an article, but you need to have the monetary damage of the defamation listed as well, even if you aren't trying to collect on it.
there are plenty of good reasons to not want to import more people to our country that have nothing to do with with their religion. for example close to 20 trillion in debt,
So spreading the debt across more people is a bad thing? What logic do you have in that refugees shouldn't go to high-debt countries?
You are quite dumb. I've seen science fair winners that had step one as that. Use the LCD to display words, have the clock trigger other events, rather than tick time. I've used a literal clock to clock a CPU on a breadboard, so the clock speed was 1/60 Hz, to allow for easy following of a long-term process.
By your logic, building a security system from parts at a Radio Shack (another thing I may have done, back when Radio Shack carried parts) isn't an electronics project. After all, I didn't build the resistors or capacitors I used in it. No True Electronics Project.
I perceive the sky to be blue. Are you saying that because I perceive it to be, it must not be true?
In the OP's context, I'd take "perceived" to mean that he was believed to be Muslim, and whether he was or wasn't is immaterial to the treatment, so long as it was believed so. Perceived: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=Perceived... let us know which definition is invalid in this context.
That one turned out to be blatant gender discrimination. I later found out they had no problem with what I was doing, as long as it was an empowered young woman doing it.
Ah yes, the downtrodden privileged class, upset when privilege is given to anyone outside the official privileged class. We should just solidify it into castes. It'd make things simpler, if those underclass knew to not get uppity.
Example, my PS3 has Play TV, and is used primarily as a DVR/media center. Why when I turn it on by inserting a disc, does it load that disk, but when I turn it on after having been used as a DVR, it goes to the default on screen? Why can't I tell it to default to PlayTV or Netflix? Or better yet, Play TV if turned on between 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. and Netflix any other time?
Simple rules are impossible for that, and everything else. I want my water heater to drop 10 degrees between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m., and again from midnight to 6 a.m. Better yet, have it learn my patterns, and provide the optimal water temp with the minimal power. Perhaps some of that can be done with home automation, but that doesn't work yet, at least not on a mass consumer level.
But the single biggest product change I'd make is 240V to the socket, with a single high efficiency power supply providing 5v/12v/48v to every socket as well. 5V so you can have USB charging at the wall with no adapters (except for Apple).12V for low-use DC, such as Christmas lights, cordless phones, and other uses that need more than 5V, and 48V for high-use DC, such as laptops and such. Have them all remote-switched so without anything plugged in they are zero draw. And every consumer device will be re-designed for the new voltages. Never hunt for a wall wart or charger again. Standard power plugs for everything, shared cords, and same voltage. Cut costs and boost efficiency.
I've been there. The CIO golfs with the CEO. They fired everyone in the IT department except the CIO, and he repeated the mistake, but it hadn't blown up on him again by the time I'd left.
The descriptions indicate that long power lines radial to the blast will build up a voltage that should blow out everything at both ends. Large power infrastructure would be one of the most affected things.
However even civilian electronics tends to be fairly well shielded and even on substrates that give quite a bit of resistance to the pulse these days.
An unprogrammable car ECU would be much more resiliant than many would guess, but so much is (EE)PROM or otherwise deliberately suceptible to reprogramming. And many of those would be wiped clean and useless (until re-flashed) by an EMP. Computers everywhere would lost their BIOS, but have no other damage. Though consumer CPUs are questionable. The traces are so tiny that they'd not build up much charge, but so fragile it wouldn't take much charge to burn them out. The last detailed examination (many CPU generations ago) indicated that an off CPU would likely survive, as the voltages would cause some gate flip (irrelevant in an "off" chip), but not burn them out, but an "on" chip has voltage through it already, plus the EMP, so it'd have widespread gate flips (requiring a reboot), and may burn out a number of gates, depending on states at the time of the EMP. So maybe bricked, maybe not.
Something trivially shielded from EMF, like a cell phone, should be fine.
Also, generation is likely irrelevant. The new CPUs are smaller, so the traces have less distance to be affected over, but also weaker as the traces are finer and more densely packed.
http://www.empcover.com/exampl... There are thousands of references indicating that a space detonation would be much much more damaging than a ground blast.
If North Korea got a big nuke to work (the size tested that was considered a "fizzle", where an H-bomb went off only as an a-bomb, or something like that), they could do quite a bit of damage to a country by launching a large nuke over it. There is no missile defense that could shoot down a DPRK ICMB fired at South Africa via US trajectory, but as it passes over Kansas, in low outer space, it is detonated. The blast would EMP most, if not all of the contiguous US, as well as take out any satellites over it at the time (about $1T of satellites, give or take a few orders of magnitude).
If there's no defense against that, then there's no real point to waste money on security that can't protect from a single obvious attack vector.
And the apocolypse would be much like some of the bad movies with just 2 bombs from DPRK. What would the world look like if Europe and the US were hit? Russian and China not hit. With the sudden power shift, we'd go into a world war, infrastructure would collapse.
The ironic thing is that weaponizing space would increase the chance of it happening. How? Because when a smaller nation has no options, and nothing to lose, they'll do the most damage they can. A nuke hidden in a container in LA harbor was the "old" worst case. But only because those coming up with the worst case have no imagination.
That you think pro-GMO people have called for warning labels on GMO food products tells me you have no clue what this discussion is about.
You have no idea how to read. You can't point to anyone that's not a pro-GMO nut calling for warning labels. If you could, you would have, yet again proving me right, but continuing to argue on principle. Only the pro-GMO nuts call for warnings. Then they attack the idea of a "warning" on something safe.
Lies and FUD are all the pro-GMO side has to offer. Logic and science are on the side of the GMO-labels.
Just a label, like the "made in" or ingredients and nutrition on food is not a big deal and informs the consumer.
The only want the pro-GMO nuts make it is by lying to people and covering up the truth. If that weren't the case, why are all the pro-GMO nuts so fanatical about labels? Truth hating fearmongers who worship Monsanto.
He didn't say that. There is a difference between people who just choose not to eat GM food and those who go out of their way to deliberately spread the misinformation about GMO foods causing birth defects like thalidomide did, or killing all the birds like DDT.
Nobody said that. Someone said that those were two "safe" things. Are you saying that they were considered unsafe at the time they were used? DDT is still considered safe, just for targeted indoor, not widespread outdoor usage.
He's someone who didn't say that.
Ah rich. I didn't say anything about DDT or thalidomide, yet you use someone else's words against me. But I do the same and you become a hypocrite.
We're rejecting a mandated label intended to scare people
The label is intended to inform. Like the "made in" labels, or the ingredients labels. Ban those too, we wouldn't want to know what we are eating or where it's from. That you are scared of GMOs and would rather not know doesn't affect others who want to know, but aren't afraid of them.
Why do you want to prevent the truth from being known? Why do you hate the truth?
Slashdot Mirror
Don't you think?
We can still read the first computer media, and any important media is replicated to modern media at convenient intervals.
systems were wiped, leaving them inoperable.
Large scale bricking is not supported by TFA. There's just one throw away comment about it, and nothing else supporting it.
If you need more than 2A at 5V, you'd use 12V.
The reason 5V needs such big wires is that people are running 5A at 5V. Why yes, I do have a 5A charger for my phone. And yes, it does run at 5A.

Since when did a large award require large harm?

There is no such thing, and any liars talking about it should just call it "the boogeyman" as that's what they mean when they say it.

I've heard of him. Like the terrorists in France, he was the son of immigrants. Proof that sealing the borders is the *only* option.

I am also done with the Star Wars franchise as well since they were bought by Disney.
And done with Marvel Studios as well, since they were bought by Disney?
Don't forget, one of the recent presidents was selected that way as well.
Large power infrastructure is mostly unaffected.

Are those all lies trying to sell things?
http://www.empcover.com/exampl... There are thousands of references indicating that a space detonation would be much much more damaging than a ground blast.
So a single bomb with zero direct fatalities would result in a retaliation that targets millions of civilians? No wonder the world hates the evil USA.
