funny thing is their data gathering can probably see multiple keys pressed at once (as fist repeatedly contacts keyboards) - I wonder if they can detect loss of monitor (as it flies through the window).
yeah they should really cut a hole in the floor of the cars and let the drivers use their feet to propel the cars. Maybe they can install a device to make the xylophone-style sound as they do it?
use this website for the math:
http://www.changpuak.ch/electronics/yagi_uda_antenna.php
then simply use the wire you have to build the yagi antenna. highly directional with a large forward lobe this should do the trick. I see the boom length is small for 800/1900Mhz (I think that's 4G freqs).
Naturally purchasing one will save the time/effort to solder/clamp the elements to the boom and the coax to the antenna/connector but there's nothing more satisfying that a bit of home-brew kit.

Seconded. and yes what a FAIL you'd have thought when they were making their green-mist powered screw-top capsules they'd have spared a thought for Earthly microbes.
During a short spell volunteering for TNMOC I watched this being worked on. Truly a labour of love and a great achievement and some amazing talented people involved in the project.
most definitely worth a visit.
The best bit about all this is that Martha has raised around 4 times her £7,000 target for the charity she supports. The proudest 9-year-old ever when she comes home from school and finds out!
"I'm finding that I have to divorce "intellectually stimulating" from "social interaction" more and more every day"
wow, you've just described the way I feel. What we need is to combine the two to have "intellectually stimulating social interaction".
Something like a geek club where you can bring your projects to show-off or have a brainstorm debug session, drink beer and have a good time.
I didn't think to video it but one day when I was working from home I got a call from 'Microsoft' wanting to 'fix' my PC.
oh boy, I was literally rubbing my hands together with glee as I fired up my test VM and let them in. The caller put me through to a 'technical' guy. They setup a remote session but then I pretended that they lost 5 years of email they put the phone down! Can't wait for them to call back. he he.
When I read the summary I did remember someone having an idea of doing this on some kind of sea platform - was that you? I remember the sign-up page had a fair-few names on it already.

At first I thought I was reading an echo from the 1990s as I thought Ceefax was gone long ago.
Ceefax as an information service has been copied into the digital format and works pretty much the same way i.e. you can enter 'page numbers' to go to the information needed directly and it's a lot better as it has different fonts and pictures.
The old Ceefax had a similar look to Prestel and although fantastic resources in their day, have not had their day.
wow all this posting over a missing hyphen. If only we could turn our energetic posting into solving cold-fusion then the world would be a happier place.
Come to think of it we can skip the cold-fusion and just use the hot air on this forum.
Don't mark me Troll - I'm a nice person!
I saw the shuttle on it's 747 carrier way back in the 80's near London Heathrow airport. It was something I'll not forget and a wonderful sight to the science-mad little boy.

good thing he didn't try to trademark brainf**k - those guys don't mess around they go straight to the syntaxical point

ay sir this is indeed the year of the Lunux desktop. I've been waiting for, ooh, 3 seconds.
the year of Linux may be upon us. Gaming is the single reason I still run Win-dohs!

love to hate them but as long as they're putting out OS's it's keeping a large slice of us employed! You could say it is our destiny.

did they expect them to say? Oh yeah, my bad, we did it for the lolz. (speaking in the style of Steve Martin in Pink Panther)

.. there was not even one mention of an Arduino controlled grill with bluetooth temperature sensors that tweets when it's done. I want my click back.
