I was waiting for someone to mention Colossus: The Forbin Project. "This is the voice of World Control....Obey and Live". That has to be one of the more scary AI movies out there. I do wish they'd do a remake on that one though the classic, even at it's low budget managed to get the point across loud and clear.
Agreed - but hex is good for representing larger numbers in fewer characters. And like I said, it works the same rules as decimal, you just have to think base 16 instead of base 10.
You got that right! And look - you also should know number systems. Decimal is fine but binary is simpler, and hex a bit more complex but follows the same rules as decimal. It's just 16 symbols versus 10.
Was to participate in program reviews in high schools all over the State of Rhode Island. I recall one classroom where they were learning the Office suite. On the particular day we were there the teacher had them doing a payroll spreadsheet, but they had to look up the tax rates on a cheat sheet.
I talked with the teacher and asked if they had any intention of teaching the kids about VBA and explained what VBA was and how it is present in every Microsoft Office application and lets you do fun things like for instance, calculate the tax, etc. The teacher looked at me with a straight face and said "Well, you need advanced math to program a computer!". I thanked her for her time.
On my review I made note of the conversation and how at the most, one might need maybe one semester of Algebra 1 but if they understood basic mathematical equations they could program.
What I heard is that my comment struck a warning bell in the school. They'd never had someone with an I.T. background review a program before. So it just flew under the radar until I made mention in the official report.
The little local companies that completed the calls were getting astronomical call termination rates. They milked the cow until it was dry.
So we need to revisit the termination scheme for telecom. Otherwise what will happen is that you won't be able to complete calls into the backwaters of the U.S. Only serves them right for getting greedy!
I thought about this too. You could have community based reactors but then it also occurred to me that you'd also have a ready source of catastrophe every few thousand feet. Knowing the electrical provider in my area, I know it's a disaster just waiting to happen.
Between utility poles and manhole covers with voltages on them to theft of manhole covers it's getting interesting.
Exactly, all the 4G phones are in the 1.8GHz to 2.5GHz range so just find out the center frequency for your phone. Then use the 300/f to get the wavelength in meters - as long as frequency is spec'd in MHz.
Then build your Pringles Yagi. In my case 1.8GHZ yields a 17cm full wavelength driven element. That's 6.6 inches. You can do half wavelength and even quarter wavelength too.
Is that a lot of us are going to be sitting on waterfront property pretty soon! Friends and I had discussed what it would take to get the populace of the U.S. to believe that climate change is having a negative impact on our environment. We determined they'd have to wake one morning to open their front door and step out into a lake.
Exactly! I've been canned when I had a piece of shit log management system thrust upon me. I tried warning management but they didn't want to hear it. So now they'll lose about $20 million in business. Ha ha ha ha!
Just make sure you setup good support forums, faqs, etc. Then make it so that anyone gets one support call for free. Register the user when they make the first call. Make sure you explain this is their one freebie and that any additional calls, emails, etc. will be charged at your reasonable rate. It's a loss leader of course but in the long run - you'll end up selling more support to appreciative customers.
An in other areas of the U.S. they have moved enforcement from criminal to civil. Here in RI you can have up to an ounce, you can't smoke in public, and they actually license growers. It's all very quiet of course but it exists.
If you are caught in public it's like a $100 fine on the civil side, not criminal.
How this applies to allergies which are an abnormal immune response to foreign stimulus. I would love to have a treatment that completely blots out my allergies. I could enjoy spring without drugging myself, and dogs - I could actually have a dog!
I question that because the 20 year olds need a hell of a lot of training to come up to speed. And by that point you've chewed them up and spit them out. Oh, I get it, it's because they can pay 20 year olds less money!
Of that horrid book, The Bell Curve. And yes, progress still seems to be occurring, we have for example these little handheld computers. That counts for something.
Of course not all of them - I've met some upstanding Christian types that I could call friend. However there are some who take both my being gay and an atheist as a threat.
Because under FCC Part 97 rules, you have to use the minimum amount of power to convey your message. If they knew that rule we wouldn't have to deal with craptastic performance.

This is sort of scary to me. It is as though we're living in the age of SkyNet yet most of us don't know it.

Because there are a number of them that explore communications theory. Of course you could also just look at the TCP/IP stack on a computer.
So 300/700 = 42.9cm

In case you're wondering, it's National Grid.
Wow - someone can expect a visit from the USSS pretty soon!

Just run the ID through a microwave oven. One caveat though - the overload may cause the card to erupt in flames!

Well, I love both. I have a snoozing feline in my lap right now. But yes, I grok dogs and they grok me. Just can't be around them.
Believe it or not, I'm not allergic to cats. Just dogs.

In essence you're creating what Chuck E Cheese wanted to be except for a different demographic.

It is a felony to leave the voting booth and voting location with your ballot. Makes sense since the ballots are serialized.
But no prohibition on photographing or recording. So we can do it.
