From my experience with CRT monitors I know anything less than 85hz looks flickery to me so if it was actually flickering at 120hz I wouldn't notice. I don't know what they do to make the cheap led strip and rope lighting look so awful but my best guess Is they are trying to use just one direction of the 120v for a flicker rate of 60hz with no cap to keep the led going through zero point. I've seen a bunch of the lowest end android tablets with the same problem I even have a verizon mifi MHS291L that the display flickers on. Half wave rectifier maybe? However most bulbs don't have a noticeable flicker I have a few that use capacitors to reduce the flicker further in addition to a full wave rectifier you can tell because they dim out when you switch off the lights instead of instantly switching off.
And to the AC anything under 85hz looks flickery to me looking straight at it. And yes it's much more noticeable from my peripheral vision.
Oh the part I hate is the connect delay you get with bluetooth.
If I want to type "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" on a bluetooth keyboard that has been left idle by the time I finish typing the keyboard has just reconnected and I get "og"
You don't have that problem with most of the proprietary wireless spec keyboards and mice.
Umm no... That's still standard practice. It's actually one of the only ways I've found to get devices to correctly roam between APs. Works on APs with and without encryption set.
Best way to solve it? Set a key on the AP you connect to then if another has the same name your computer won't be able to connect to it because the AP doesn't have the right key.
Well I don't think they are going to prosecute the phone owners as they are rather dead.
Otherwise they are dealing with terrorists and terrorists don't have rights the govt just sends them to gitmo and keeps them there indefinitely without charges.
Apple already had to update the fw once http://9to5mac.com/2015/03/18/... because it wasn't incrementing properly when the power was cut. You would prefer to wipe the phone to apply the update?
Personally I would like the ability to set the key myself.
Sorry I didn't see anything I would consider a problem in TFA you linked to. The only things I think you might be referring to is A. Republicans like sheeple, B. People being able to make their own decisions is somehow a bad thing. or C. You were being sarcastic.
I'm going with A.
Anywho Algebra 3 will not help the 99% and we still teach that.
Why not make sure that they have basic skills like how to open a soda can, use a toilet, open and shut doors, switch lights, use deodorant, bathe, cross the street, etc.
We have these new extra safe gas can's that gas won't pour. The government should have a class on how to use those.. Of course then they would have to admit they don't actually friggin work.
Well we could always have common sense added to the common core curriculum it would probably be a better choice than trying to teach everyone advanced quantum mechanics.
Wow now thats news good thing I read at -1 or I'd have missed that./. News for nerds just a bit on the slow side nowadays. From the blog it says they had to shut the server down following a second attack it was a Wordpress vuln.
But for this bitcoin doesn't need to be anonymous it just needs to be non-seizable most don't use paypal or cc merchant accounts anymore because they get frozen before they can do anything with them.
Bitcoin doesn't get seized, frozen, revoked or invalidated. So despite being trackable its a better choice because they are unlikely to loose access to it after they've received it.
Slashdot Mirror
Too bad there aren't any uses for oxygen.
Why?
How would a portable blu-ray player work with one of those?
Just to be clear are you saying VZW is injecting tracking information in my traffic to save me money?
You mean like how verizon wireless charges up to $15/GB and embeds a tracking cookie in your web traffic by default?
Sneaker net and bluetooth AP.
And this model is infallible just like the hundreds of thousands of computer models before it. GIGO Garbage in garbage out.

In my experience if the voltage drops too low my cfls start smoking. I don't own a dimmer what do I need with dimmable bulbs?
Imperceptible my butt with many led bulbs especially the cheaper ones the flicker is quite noticeable.
Needs a better capacitor in there to keep the led on through the dip.

What do they mean by over-saturated? Too many customers?, Not enough customers? or Too many cell towers?
They couldn't be saying they can't get anyone else to sign up on their overcrowded towers could they?
Afaik At&t's only real competition is verizon.
I wonder how far you can throw a terrorist?
Well I don't think they are going to prosecute the phone owners as they are rather dead.

Funny laws that we have nowadays.

Are you sure its legal to tell people about that? It will probably get them kicked off the jury.

Now that we have used the word hoverboard to describe a mini Segway what are we going to call boards that hover when we get that figured out?
Wow now thats news good thing I read at -1 or I'd have missed that. /. News for nerds just a bit on the slow side nowadays. From the blog it says they had to shut the server down following a second attack it was a Wordpress vuln.
You mean like people do with counterfeit bills?
We almost have tourist defined as terrorist too but Egypt is farther along in that aspect than we are in the US

Although I think we will have that figured out within the next 10 years.

Do we really want to be teaching children to negotiate with terrorists?
