Tis quite a fall from grace, you can tell by his voice that he doesn't feel even 1% of the passion for Amazamazon drones as he does for tearing through the winding roads of Wales in All-British V12 petrol-drinking Coupes
With camera-enabled smart TV's this cheesy slashdot joke is coming back to haunt us, expect more usage of the camera by TV channels to give you better targeted advertising and make sure you watch it. They'll have a nice 100-page privacy policy which basically entails a live videostream going to their HQ and them agreeing not to have real people watching it.
The usual "but you'd have to pay so much more for the quality programming you're getting" argument will be trotted out to anyone who dares to criticise.
Buckethead programming was what we were told in college, "copy these few lines of code, get I2C to work! Bobs yer uncle!" No emphasis on understanding what a function does and its different uses. If you asked this lecturer something he would bluff his way around it, because he himself didn't know.
Once a big happy opensource community project gets too big or successful infighting and and "telling the user what they want" become an irresistable temptation for too many, particularly for those not at the coalface and who have floated up towards a more managerial role.
They'd have to program the robot to drive a manual gearbox first. Robots these days would be utterly lost without a familiar prundle stick to put into 'D'
Probably Google Maps for Anderhoid as that's what people generally mean when they refer to GPS. The title is very misleading, I thought this was about GPS receivers overestimating the distance they are from a given GPS satellite, which would lead to much the same location but far below sealevel (assuming it is overestimating each satellite by the same amount)
Maybe not now but when this law is revised. After that annual airworthiness testing, certification. Drone operators will be required to pay €200 to listen to some guy telling you not to fly a drone into a child walking down the street.
You'll be able to meet all these requirements by handing over a tidy sum of money to companies set up by friends of the politicians bringing in these drone laws. This is how Ireland works. Behind every law there is a backhander and a gravy train.
Cabin-dwellers are evil now? I would have thought that they were the environmentally friendly types that we should all aspire to be. For one, their cabins are made from local materials, if they hunt and grow veg they aren't dependent on industrial and tractor-based food production. Even if they run an average size diesel generator for a few hours a day they probably still burn less fuel than your average stereotypical suburban 'mom' does with her SUV or people carrier going to and from Mal*Wart
How accurate were the thermometers they used in pre-indistrial times? Even now most temperature sensors are +/- 1 Degree C or worse. For a few quid you can get something that is accurate to +/- 0.2 degrees, provided you have it installed properly and it's only guaranteed that accuracy for the first few years after it's made (Sensirion sht75 for example)
They horse the same engines into many different Skoda, Seat, VW, Audi, Porsche cars. The only thing is not many Porsche cars have TDI Diesel engines, a diesel Porsche kind of defeats the purpose unless you just like to be seen going around in a piece of pressed metal that has 'Porsche' written on the exterior instead of 'Skoda'
I'm gone a bit too cynical to think this is an altruistic effort by Google to protect De People from the government spying on them. Could it just be an attempt to make their DRM more robust?
Would it be possible to create an adblocker that loads all the ads but replaces them with beige squares just before they hit the framebuffer? Or would the latest JavaShit technology still be able to detect these?
It would be great to see it gone. Who knows, journalists might resort to doing actual investigation once again instead of simply regurgitating what shows up on their twitter machine
I thought a car would have to be 25 or 30 year old to be called vintage, and only a Subaru could be called Legacy. I suppose ye Americans are living in a faster-paced consumerist throw-away society. If it's not this year's model it's considered old.
DC motors are quite expensive once you go past a couple 100 watts, even below that they cost more than the AC equivalent and there isn't much efficiency gain worth mentioning. Don't think any heavy appliances are going DC any time soon, even Tesla cars have an AC inverter and motor in them.
If you never use any corded power tools, never wash your own clothes, never hoover or use one of those silly robot things, never run any pumps, compressors, saws, kitchen appliances, industrial milling machines you can get away with using DC only. When you think about it though that is probably a lot of people although most in the USA will want air conditioning.

Ireland was not allied to Germany during WWI and WW2

No Intel processor release is complete these days without the latest installment of media industry-approved DRM shite

Has development stalled on those, is everything moving over to Bluetooth LE?
Until you see the $1495 pricetag!

Thought the cabins in the woods were powered mostly by solar panels and the odd wind turbine now?

Google is like a creepy uncle who you regularly catch rooting through your dirty underwear when you come home unexpectedly
This would have been revolutionary in about 1995. Perhaps even earlier

That won't fit in my M350 case anyway. It is nearly the size of the motherboard
