I have seen problems where an input to an optocoupled digital input stays on when both an analog and digital DMM read 0V. When I used a scope I saw noise that looked familiar, it was from a servo cable ran too close to the I/O lines back to the controller. 10k pulldown resistors fixed that problem.
You make it sound as if the deaths of those seals was deliberate. It appears it was not.
I read up on this and there is no concrete connection between the president outing seal team 6 and the chinook incident. Some rebels shot down a chopper which was responding to a call for backup by the army rangers. There is nothing anywhere that states the rebels knew there were seals on that chopper. So it appears the rebels got lucky and killed a bunch of seals. Also of note is that there is no evidence that any of the seals on board were part of the team who took out bin laden. Maybe there were and maybe there weren't. We will never know.
Is it me or in some shots does Magnus Carlsen bear a striking resemblance to Todd Alquist (Jesse Plemons)? When I first saw a few pictures I thought uncle Jack secured his victory by paying Anand's family a visit.
Not to be a pedant but: Sure did. Still have my R4 cd. Starting with R5, the personal edition or PE of BeOS was a free download with only a developer edition available on CD.
So it took them 100M to change the basic shape, switch to micro USB for charging and move the Xbox button to the top?
In the end they settled on the same design with a few changes. That pretty much sums up Microsoft, they cant innovate. It sounds more like they were so desperate to try and outdo the PS4 they threw money at any stupid idea that came along without really thinking it out. Instead of trying to truly be original, they took a half-assed shotgun approach. Smell O vision, really? I understand it takes money to make prototypes but 100M sounds desperate.
It makes sense if both cops and citizens can conceal carry but there are plenty of states where conceal carry is difficult to obtain. Take my home state of NY as an example. To obtain a concealed carry you need to apply for a permit which can be denied, but they must tell you why it was denied. You also need to demonstrate a "special need for protection" in order to obtain a CCW as well. So basically its next to impossible unless you are someone who is wealthy or carries lots of cash (a business owner) or private security. And living in NYC or the surrounding area makes it even harder.
To me that is unfair. My friend who is NYPD gets to carry off duty while I would most likely not be granted a CCW.
"New cars, with their fine multi-function LCD panels, should all be able to list out engine codes w/o dealer intervention or other hardware, even while running."
Oh so I guess the poor dealerships should go out of business then. How else are they supposed to rip off customers to feed their families?
Wait..... on second thought that sounds like a good idea. In fact I had the same thought as you. It makes so much sense yet they simply won't implement it.
If AMD wants to get into the tablet game then have at it. From the supposed design pictures it looks like the tablet slides into a controller which in turn can plug into a dock with what looks like USB, Ethernet, displayport and HDMI. Those images might be fake but hell, if they are close to the final design then its a damn good start. It kinda reminds me of the Wii U controller. Now if they could get a technology like airplay integrated then the dock can be omitted and the thing hooked to a TV wirelessly. Then plop it into a dock with keyboard, mouse and monitor for some more productive use. Or slide it out of the controller and dock for a traditional tablet. I don't know how powerful the CPU/GPU is but it may suffice for most of the tasks people would use it for (games, internet, typing). Might have trouble running Crysis though:)
Was that necessary? If you bothered to do some research some departments do not allow take-home of police vehicles. The NYPD does not allow any cruisers to be taken home except some *allocated* vehicles for higher ranking (senior) officers. Besides, do you honestly think a large police force with 3 shifts 24 hours per day would allows a limited supply of police vehicles to be taken home when off duty?
However, I would imagine some rural and small town cops can take cars home if there is a surplus and they can be summoned back on duty if necessary.
"When off the clock, an officer is entitled to privacy like every other citizen."
And to add to that every cop who is off duty is no longer a cop. They are allowed to conceal carry off duty which still makes them cops. And unfortunately it had led to a few dying when responding to a disturbance and being mistaken for an aggressor. A cop off duty is a citizen nothing more. An on duty cop is also a citizen who is entrusted to serve the law, they simply forget that.
Why would turning off a concealed GPS tracking device be necessary? Any tracking device in an official police vehicle, marked or unmarked, could be concealed and invisible to anyone outside or inside the vehicle. There is no need to switch it off.
"Users of Silverlight, Microsoft's answer to Adobe Flash"
Ah! There's your problem, right there.
WARNING! both TF And the/. title are nothing more than sensationalism. Nothing in TFA, which is quite brief, specifically says Netflix users are being targeted. Only that Netflix uses silverlight which has a vulnerability. Its like saying "Newgrounds (pretend it's 6+years ago and still relevant) users are in danger of being infected with malware" when its all users of flash. *BUT* since silverlight and flash are web technologies which have fallen out of favor, Netflix users are guaranteed to have it installed as it is not included by default with Windows and unnecessary for 99.9999%+ of all web content. I have never installed it and I think only once have I seen a website that needed it. I don't use Netflix either.
Maybe its time Netflix invested in HTML5 and other open, modern, cross platform standards.
Actually a lot of the extracted solids are shipped off to landfills. In most sewage treatment systems the first step is a settling tank that allows the heavier solids (sludge) to sink to the bottom where a screw then lifts them out. The solids (toilet paper, feces etc.) is then dewatered and shipped to landfills. I am familiar with the NYC DEP system as a family friend works for them. Some plants do not dewater their own solids and have to ship them by a DEP barge to other plants which do. One such plant is the Rockaway plant.
I wonder how Novec compares cost wise to Fluorinert. We use Fluorinert at work here and I know the larger FC-72 jugs are very costly at around $1500 and the FC-40 jugs are priced as if they were filled with liquid gold, over 3 grand and much smaller than the FC-72 jugs.
This happened to Mack trucks after Volvo bought out Renault Trucks who happened to have a controlling interest in Mack. Volvo basically told Mack they were now to use Volvo engines (rebranded of course) Mack shops were all forced to buy costly Volvo computer diagnostic equipment. Mack used to supply dealerships with the necessary software and hardware for the original Mack engines (also shared with Renault).
An employee at a Mack dealership told me the cost was $5,000 per system with equally costly yearly maintenance contracts to ensure they have access to Volvos software updates for both the diagnostic systems and ECU updates.
Sadly, ani-mask laws will promptly stop this. I don't have too much time to dig up the laws but here are some articles:
Small Wikipedia article on the subject. Doesn't explain much but does have a few citation links. Canada along with the USA have such laws. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-mask_laws
To be fair we are talking about one man who is the gate keeper for a kernel which has grew from a hobby project to major player in the operating system landscape. Just put yourself in his shoes for a minute. Your student project turned hobby now runs on/in everything from phones to supercomputers, refrigerators to robots and cars to space craft. It is quite an achievement and a large amount of responsibility. Most of his explosions happen when someone does (bad code/design) or says (git should use C++) something stupid or things get out of hand (no standard for ARM hardware peripherals). He watches the merges and tries to keep things as sane as possible. Bill Gates didn't even get his hands this dirty. Sure some of his outbursts are quite harsh and profane but it shows that he is still a regular person and not some douche in a suit with a fake smile and attitude. How many of us have encountered a problem with some man made thing that is so frustrating we curse the person who made it? I am sure most of us here have wished death on a person or two, not seriously of course but a brief angry outburst to vent.
People like to pick on him, call him unprofessional and even question his sanity. I say they are nothing more than bottom feeder journalists with a pro MS or anti OSS agenda (or) looking to grab traffic for their shitty news site/zine/blog/whatever. Linus is a real person with real emotions. Sometimes you gotta vent and I give him a lot of credit for not holding back. It gives the project life. And lets be honest: nice guys finish last. If you pussy foot around people and dont push back they are going to walk all over you. You gotta have balls.
Ugh, doctors. I saw an acquaintance post that a doctor lowered his calorie intake from 1600 to 1200 to reach a BMI of 30, what ever that means. He is trying to lose weight and had dropped a significant amount, over 100 lbs already. To me both the BMI and calorie counting is BS. How a trained medical professional can use both is baffling unless (s)he is a dinosaur stuck in their old ways.
