as Ark42 said, it is a nice player. But it also serves as a stream host - not sure how that works with DLNA et all, but you can tell it to stream it's output and connect another player (on another device for example) to it, allowing you to play a video remotely where you might not have otherwise been able.
The damn thing starts instantly now - used to be it took several seconds to start up. Now, I've not even released my mouse button from the second click before it's up.
Well, we can tell they must have done so before - after all, they made off with your punctuation, after making sure all your Enforce stems were capitalized.
Hrm, it would be interesting if a compiler could detect simple stupid mistakes and bitch about them, and then proceed to build correctly. Though that would be done in preprocessing right?
Yo dawg, i heard you like compiling, so I put a compiler in your compiler...
As well check the headers and see if it's being sent by the mailer daemon with reply-to the individuals. If so, adding the actual sender (the mailer daemon etc) to the contacts should prevent anything coming through that from being spam-binned.
It isn't even discrimination against stupidity - I'd say it's entirely within a Doctor's right to refuse non-emergency care to someone who refuses to obey their advice/instructions.
Yea, well heat emitted by plant lighting or charging UPS batteries is more useful than heat emitted directly from the coolant into the environs around it.
If you can get the heat to do something useful without being inordinately expensive, unreliable, or dangerous - you should.
I personally like this idea. You could use the energy recovered at this stage to drive some of the lower importance / lower current plant equipment, such as topping off batteries, main lighting etc.
Why not? Tank of warm water, with evaporative cooling on the outside.
Left on it's own the temperature of the evaporative system and the interior tank should equalize, which should be lower than the tank water started at.
The only difference here is the water in the tank is cool enough to be liquid, rather than steam. You've just added another stage:
Primary (in reactor) -> Secondary (steam turbine) -> tertiary (cooling towers) to: Primary (in reactor) -> Secondary (steam turbine) -> tertiary (coolant tanks) -> auxiliary (cooling towers)
I'm not mathematician or engineer though. I have no idea if this would be efficient enough to be bothered with. Smarter people than me are looking at the problem.
Even then, this won't solve the problem. You still have to cool the coolant (eg the molten salt) somehow, and I don't think open-air radiation is going to cut it.
Though, this all sounds like a design problem. If your coolant system can't work with 100F coolant, but needs to, then you need to rework the design so that it can.
I never had surgury, but I am very UV sensitive. I simply cannot tolerate unfiltered sunlight. The feeling is similar to getting nailed in the eye with a laser, or staring into a bright lightbulb.
While I can't see UV (eg blacklights) I know when it is present, because of the "pain" (it's not really pain, you know what I mean?)
Interestingly, my eyes either can't (or wont) focus violet or "high blue" light - eg the new fad of blue LEDs drives me nuts. Where you see one light, I see a smear or three lights (depending on how my astigmatism is behaving)

Because the OS doesn't need to cache it as some kind of bitmap suitable for video overlay?

That is some fine startup tweaking.

So, exactly what I said? You just said -why- it's 100ns.
It means the runtime data they have collected is stored in a 100ns interval.
Generally you'll find it a lot rarer for people to say "i won't buy unless you remove platform X" than "i won't buy unless you add platform X"
Reference please? This sounds like an amusing diversion.
You should try a shovel. Works much better than using your hand. You don't have to go all-out :P

Allergies, perhaps?
Though in my case it's the *cillin family I'm allergic to, so I need the alternatives.
I know you are being funny, but the earth's rotation is actually slowing down.
... sounds like someone is angling for some new Crusades!
Wish I had your PE instructor. I was one of those poor 45 minute slobs.
(now watch me die tomorrow, that would show me, wouldn't it?)
This seems appropriate. I think I'd rather have a quick unexpected end than a long drawn out one.
As well check the headers and see if it's being sent by the mailer daemon with reply-to the individuals. If so, adding the actual sender (the mailer daemon etc) to the contacts should prevent anything coming through that from being spam-binned.
Add the sender as a contact, and it will stop spam-binning it for you permanently without your "not spam" flags affecting other user's filtering.

I think you left part of your comment in the subject field. You might want to keep that shit together in the comment body - where it belongs.
With logic like that, I bet you missed your MMR as a child and the Mumps fried your brain a little.
