It is common to think that on the first day of Christmas you get a Partridge in a pear tree, on the second day of Christmas you get (only) two turtle doves, IE a gift per day.
However the lyrics of the song say that on the first day you get a partridge in a pear tree and on the second day you get two turtle doves and a partridge in a pear tree (logical AND), this means that by the second day you have 2x1 partridge in a pear tree and 1x2 turtle doves. and on each following day you get another partridge in a pear tree and another two turtle doves etc etc up until the twelfth day.
I don't think that the stock ticker report is calculating the true cost of all this.
By the twelfth day you would have,
12x1 partridge in a pear tree 11x2 turtle doves 10x3 french hens 09x4 calling birds 08x5 gold rings 07x6 geese a laying 06x7 swans a swimming 05x8 maids a milking 04x9 ladies dancing 03x10 lords a leaping 02x11 pipers piping 01x12 drummers drumming
By the end of the twelfth day you would only have 364 individual presents. So your true love doesent love you for at least one day in the year.
So if you suffer from Diabetes, too much Glucose in the blood stream not to worry.
Now you can eat your cake and ice cream and this little gizmo will take that extra glucose in the blood stream and make power (albeit small amounts) for you.
The major benefit of this would be to reduce the blood glucose levels without taking medication, the power generation would just be a cherry on top.
The CRTC does more damage than good, why do we need a bunch of crusty old farts telling us what is and what isn't good.
The reason for all those extra charges on the phone bill is because the CRTC said the telephone companies could do it.
CRTC is also screwing everybody with regards to TV pricing, Digital services are now conditional access, IE it is now technically possible to subscribe to indvidual channels. However, in the CRTC's infinite wisdom we must buy our TV programming in packages, including being forced to subscribe to the basic services such as CPAC etc.
This is utter tripe, if a TV station is transmitting such garbage that it only has two viewers then why should it still exist, it's a bad business model. The CRTC ensure that the crap services stay alive by forcing everybody to pay for it.
Why can't I just subscribe to the channels I want, it would only be about ten channels from the billion channel universe, if people had this kind of choice then a lot of the garbage channels and shows would be gone.
Goodbye VOIP, it was nice knowing you, once the CRTC grab hold of it it won't be worth having.
I have a long standing question over film vs digital.
What about dynamic range?
I've seen the output from some higher end digital cameras and the scenes are awful when compared to the film equivalent.
(Yes I know this isn't a camera we are talking about here it's a projector even though the article says camera, but it's tarred with the same brush)
What I'm talking about here is the ability to capture details that are lurking in the shadows when the majority of the picture is a bright scene.
As far as I'm concerned digital sucks, how come as technology gets better and better yet the consumer has to put up with poorer quality.
Just take a look at all the digital artifacts when watching digital TV, it's disgusting. Digital compression schemes have a very very hard time trying to compress random type objects, IE grass blowing in the breeze, water effects such as rooster tails from power boats, waving crowds at sports stadiums(especially when panning), there's just to much moving detail for the compression to be able to handle it so it just "drop's" stuff and assumes you won't notice.
The compression algorithms especially don't like dark scenes. I see lot's of solarisation on dark scenes even on DVD and that's supposed to be the best quality we have as a consumer item.
And now the studios will be expecting the movie going public to keep shelling out hard earned cash for this.
Oh by the way, if you've never noticed these horrible arttifacts before, trust me you will now you know what to look for.
Panasonic laser copiers/printers have a trick that after X number of copies/prints the machine indicates that a new cartridge will be needed soon.
If you keep ignoring it eventually the machine shuts down and asks for a new cartridge to be installed.
On the side of the cartridge is a small plastic cover with a couple of electrical connections nearby, underneath the cover is a pico-fuse (small fuse that looks like a resistor) when you insert a new cartridge the printer detects the fuse, resets the counter and then blows the fuse.
Replacing the fuse on one of these used cartridges will indeed give you a few more thousand uses.
Great, Now we'll integrate this into an elevator control system and now the elevator can get to the floor your on before you actually call it.

I have just done a web enabled embedded microprocessor (telnet into it) but because it's on the internet I need to protect it somehow.
I use a passphrase such as "EDMONTONOILERSHOCKEYTEAM"
Now when you telnet to this device it answers you with a challenge of 15 random numbers displayed in three groups like this:
1 15 24 5 6 3 20 2 19 7 6 23 10 9 17
Now your response is 5 digits comprised of the character held in position X. IE a valid response to the above challenge would be (picking group 1) IHMNT, of course you can respond to any group displayed on the screen.
This makes it hard for any keylogger device as the passphrase is never sent in it's entirety, only portions of it and if you were sniffing the traffic you dont know wich group of letters I am responding too.
This is good for a one time only password, if you talk to someone over the phone and want them to go in and do some tweaking you can give them the "password" and the password they just used will most likely not come up again so once they disconnect the system is once again secure.
Big drawback is you generally have to write the passphrase down in front of you so you can count what position the letters are in.

Why use the app? Personally i just use Gmail with SMTP from any email client, forget the App.
Telegram, all the way, it's cross platform too, unlike Whatsapp.
I'm tired of it.
Repair the phones in an RF screened room. I used to do this +20 years ago. It's a no brainer, non issue.
Just throw all your Apple devices into a conventional microwave oven and nuke on high power for a few minutes. Free fireworks!

Where's my tinfoil hat?

Oh crap!

Tinfoil hat on the antenna.
Onstar uses the cellular network, so stop the cellphone signal from getting to the electronics and they can't turn off the car.
Wait until you sign up for satellite TV.

Also the use of the word "bring" is incorrect.

The ZX Spectrum came with faulty on board RAM, only the good half of the chips were enabled.
There were articles describing how to re-enable the faulty halves and essentially double your ram, albeit maybe unreliable.
I think the real story here is that the Aliens told NASA to cease and desist from sending probes into their territory.
Why do you think we've never been back to the moon?
Because the Aliens are mining the back side of it with their huge motherships, and NASA have been told to stay away.

A new perspective.
I spent several years working in and around the small northern communities in Canada's Arctic.
The Inuit population there refer to water as "molten ice", because ice is the most common state.
Were as we southerners (south of the arctic circle) consider ice as frozen water.
Oh well, I thought it was funny.

Sellafield is well known for mistakes, so well known in fact that it changed it's name to Sellafield, it's old name was Windscale.

I agree with you that X=10 however,
According to http://www.novaroma.org/via_romana/numbers.html/
Typing VIIV into the conversion box = 10.
Makes sense to me, 6+4=10
But you are almost correct that it could be 7+5=12
(you had 13, but I see your point)
Help, now I'm confused....
