have you ever hit a 1" rock with tiny wheels like that?
Yes. It was a non-event. Perhaps you are unqualified to operate wheeled vehicles.
Showing up to work with road rash on your face probably would not go over well.
Have you ever ridden a scooter? You can run faster than that, so if you "crash" your scooter, you just step off. When you are pushing yourself you have one foot mostly waiting to step off at any point. So maybe there'll be a difference if you are resting both feet equally on a powered scooter, but I've gone over 1" obstacles without an issue. And even if I didn't roll over them without issue, were I on a scooter, I'd just step off, rather than landing on my face.
Same here. It also allows me to give out a US address to those who can't process international numbers. A surprisingly large number of very large businesses can't process an international number (for one, nobody in the IRS not in the International Department can call international, for another, Wells Fargo can send me international mail, but also can't call international) - or so say the people I've spoken with in such organizations. It could be training, rather than technical/financial, but most companies lock down international dialing for fear of scams. There are still constant reports of PBX exploits generating $100,000+ phone bills to a 900 number equivalent outside the US.
The problem with Voice is that I signed up in the US, so I get free calls. But those that don't sign up until they are outside the US will not get that treatment, unless they sign up from within the US, and Google has taken to identifying IPs based on usage, not GeoIP, so you could use a VPN service with a US ARIN address physically located in Texas and Google will still consider you as being in Europe. The only "reliable" away is to have someone in the US sign up for you, then send you the login.
I work with that on a regular basis. It's a few years old, but works as you describe. Again, I don't see anything new in this, other than unsubstantiated claims of cost.
You've magically discovered G.709. It will do all you describe, today, without proprietary crap. It even has an installed base. There's nothing compelling in this to get anyone to throw out a better network to adopt this. Yes, I'm sure it's lower power. Most 100Gbps DWDM is for longer distances, so you attenuate the signal for short distances. If it were optimized for shorter distances, it'd use 10-100x less power. We don't need a new standard to do that.
Yet your description of the interrogation system is exactly what I was trying to describe, but using more "common" terms so that it's be easier to understand. Do you know WiFi at all? The interrogation code is analgous to an SSID broadcast, and the aircraft responds with a MAC. Sure, the technical terms are different, but the process isn't any different, and the results are similar. The actual RADAR is secondary now, and as you note, almost "hidden" on the displays.
Although the actual radar data hasn't been revealed, the sense of what has been shown so far is that the raw radar return, or echo, as well as the transponder Mode C, stopped simultaneously.
My understanding, such as it is, is that it was outside reflection range, and without a transponder, should be "invisible" to the commercial systems at that range. The military systems are stronger, as they don't rely on well ordered actors. But the militaries aren't stating what they saw when in public, as they want to hide their capabilities.
"RADAR" isn't used to track commercial planes. Every time you hear "RADAR" with respect to a transponder, the speaker is wrong. It's an active WiFi locator beacon. The "AP" sends out a broadcast request, and the beacons respond. If you turn off the beacon, or have a damaging electrical fire, you'll lose transponder communication, and never be seen on "RADAR". Military RADAR is RADAR, and doesn't have those limitations. Some RADAR systems are used in the US, with dual military/commercial use. Especially on the coasts. But almost nobody else does that. It's a waste of time and money.
RR Malaysia denied it, making it debunked. The US has indicated they "believe" it flew for hours, but has not indicated how they knew it. My best guess is that the US has some illegal military operation that caught it, and so the US tried feeding "parallel construction" to point Malaysia in the right direction with lies. But Malaysia is seeing through the lies, and not taking the hint. And that's somehow Malaysia's fault. Now RR Europe may have "new" information, which has not been given to the Malaysian investigators, but it's more likely another US lie.
If it actually happened as TFA asserts, why would RR Europe not tell RR Malaysia the details, so that RR Malaysia, actively involved in the investigation, could be giving correct information to the investigators? What possible reason would RR Europe have to leak the information to the US, to then leak to the press, while never letting the investigators, or even their own employee, know what's happened?
Birds land on power lines all the time. If there was an issue where birds didn't go near UV flashes, then why are they sitting on a UV flash generator?
One near me was taken out by a snake. The snake liked the heat, stretched out, and took out the substation. I've also heard of them being taken out by rodents (larger ones), but that included some chewing action, not just a short.
Yup, and as a non-electrical worker, the number one reason I hear for outages is incursions by animals. So they aren't bothered by the large transformers at the really high voltages either.
Why so many delays with burried? And what are their disadvantages? The reports I've read indicate they have lower support costs and higher reliability (in areas where backhoes aren't free-range).
Yes, altering the environment is pretty much the defining characteristic of an invasive species.
There's a difference between indirectly interacting with the environment in a manner that changes it (eating the deer, causing changes to the plants and other animals in the area), and directly interacting with the environment (draining swamps and filling in coastal areas to "reclaim" land).
Yeah, and they aren't proven to work (as in people that have tested them haven't shown that they've done anything, but not scientifically enough to prove them quackery, just hint strongly).
I've done that before with a similar-level receiver in the '90s. To keep costs down, it looks like the current "crappy" receivers have dropped most of those functions, assuming HDMI being the dominating connection.
My old JVC had the ability to take in 5.1 analog and output 5.1 pre-amp or post-amp. You could pump in 5.1 in separate RCA jacks, equalize, then output for another amp, or internal amp, and out to speakers, or take in inputs equalized by an external device, and output to speakers. It cost more than the Onkyo, but was 20 years older, so higher in the "quality/features" scale at the time.
I read that the entire ariframe, having to accomodate the B version, is larger/different than it would be otherwise, decreasing range and maneuverability in the A and C because of requirements for B.
When the girl was in 1st grade, she was told by Mom "I don't like math, go ask your dad". It wasn't a gender thing at first, but children attribute such things to gender. It doesn't hurt when most of the other girls in the same class hear the same thing. And no, I'm not the OP, I've just seen the same before.
Working entirely at low level, you have other options, too. If you have a big home theater, where the distance between main speakers (subwoofers don't really count) varies by more than about 5 feet, you might benefit from a properly-configured delay unit, so the sound arrives at your ears at the proper time, according to its spacial location in the source.
My "crappy receiver" does that already. Perhaps you should look at what a $600 receiver gets you these days.

In their defense, the "fix" is as bad as the cure. Though it wouldn't have been if it were started earlier.

The standard is mathematical reality, not some "we like zeros" standard. 2^10 = kilo, 2^20 = Mega. Binary trumps decimal when dealing with computers.
But the footage can be lost and blamed on an "off" camera.

My "crappy" receiver is a TX-NR609 http://www.intl.onkyo.com/prod...
