Thats a plant. Its in the front yard in a pot. One saturday The Age, which weighs several kilos on Saturday came flying through the air and broke off a branch.
Our subscription to The Age came from a neighbour who has moved to another country. I prefer to read that news source on line. Not because it is free, but because it is convenient. The online version is pretty crap and I would pay for the paper version on line, if it meant the frangipani didn't have to have wads of paper chucked at it in the early hours of the morning.
So today the paper has gone missing. It sometimes winds up in our next door neighbours front yard. Its not there but I notice that the newspaper chuckers are still out in cars bravely keeping journalistic tradition alive. So maybe my bundle of Yesterdays News is still on the way.
Years ago I had a chance to learn braille, because my mother taught blind children. I have forgotten most of it now, but with the proliferation of braille signage, it might actually be useful for me, in the event of a power failure.
I wonder if wikipedia should just publish the IP address of edits by default in the revision history. That way it would be clearer to people who need privacy that they should take steps to hide their identity.
Back when I had regular EEGs a technician would spend about ten minutes squeezing conductive cream onto my scalp before clipping the electrodes on. If you don't use a conductive liquid your signal is going to have to pass through your hair, which doesn't sound good for their N/N ratio. So what's it going to be? Shaved heads or washing your hair after gaming?
Its not really a written language anyway. It works with sound and pulses of light. I am glad I learned CW even though I never got my radio license. Who knows? One day I might be trapped in a sunken Russian submarine.
Ionospheric propagation is a feature, not a bug. In fact it would be interesting to see what could be done below 30Mhz with protocols similar to CDMA, once all the commercial services have moved to the microwave bands.
No I mean if SETI@home dropped their CPU load by a factor of a 100 and increased the number of subscribers by the same amount it may become difficult to manage.
Hmmm. I wonder if SETI@home would get a lot more takers if their app really used spare CPU cycles. I suppose the management overhead would go up that way though.
A home computer might be switched on only when needed but a machine in a school is going to be on all the day. Maybe the spare CPU cycles here didn't cost much at all.
But in practice I just read the news which is easy to get to. For now there is plenty of that and I would be surprised if it becomes significantly harder to get.
I can't find the reason in the article but I suppose the phone is hard coded to go to one host for the apps. With wifi you could intercept traffic for that host to your server but I suppose a certificate could be used to make life difficult for hackers.
Back when optus was new I had one of their mobile phones and I diverted my telstra landline to the optus phone when I was out. My bill just told me how many 25 cent units I had used but I wanted to know if turning the diversion on and off cost me money so I called telstra and asked them. They came back after about five minutes and said we can't answer that question because you have selcted optus for long distance calls. In other words. STFU.
I can't find the answer easily in the articles but I wonder if it would be possible to mirror or proxy the app store. Presumably it uses an http url. Is there an http proxy setting in android?
Slashdot Mirror
No, just give her memories from your Niece.
And their writing was and is very good, some of the best online.
I just went to their front page and I don't see it. They look pretty tabloid to me, with not much good writing to grab me.
The intersection of the literati who would follow Salon and the tech-geeks who populate Slashdot is pretty small
I suspect many of their natural readers are just now getting their very first home computer.
The money's going to run out, paywalls won't save you.
But slashdot still has one.

Die already.
Yeah I think the Voyager or Pioneer probes have the km/Watt record. Line of sight helps of course.
Maybe the startup time is worse. Hybrids need almost instant starting combustion engines. A steam engine, for example, would not work.

I think another factor is that farming and trucking lobbies in Europe push for tax advantages for diesel fuel.

Not CT?
I knew a guy called Teh but unfortunately Microsoft tools auto correct that to The.
DX/Skip interference like 27MHz does

He's dead now, for sure.

Yes I am sure the mafia can make the pirates listen to Reason.
They should first get themselves a good domain name.
Craigslist are doing fine without you, me and yahoo.
