Many of them are, I'll add Profibus, but Allen Bradley is very popular in the US and they are still selling a lot of proprietary IO.
I don't want a null modem cable at the moment, but if it was 1998 and I wanted to connect my PC's serial port to a SLC5/03 I'd need a null modem cable, only Allen Bradley didn't call it a null modem cable they called it a 1747-CP3 and they wanted something like $200 for it.
I recall carrying around pinout diagrams for half the cables in their catalog just in case I ever ran into something new.
The technology has obvious weaponlight applications.
You can't put a shake powered light on an M4, you don't just go grab another off a charging stand when your light goes out, and you don't typically need that many cp.
I have and their switches are nowhere near as reliable as, say, Surefire. And they don't resist water as well. And the bodies of the lights are not remotely as durable. And I question the accuracy of their lumen ratings.
If you've not handled a (aluminum) Surefire light in person, try one. Very few people actually need that particular level of build quality for any reason other than satifying their flashlight geek needs, but the difference should be immediately obvious.
Lumen ratings have become a marketing game and nearly everyone is quoting theoretical numbers rather than measured ones.
Back in the incandescent days there wasn't as much advatage because most high end flashlight customers knew the ratings applied only to the first few seconds of operation. That and there wasn't enough competition among manufacturers to mean much. With constant voltage LED drivers lumens matter more, and now that there are several players in the emitter game, and making lights, things are getting out of hand.
No way on earth 5.11 is measuring 270 lumens out of this light with an integratign sphere.
A bunch, but the cost is a secondary consideration in a lot of circumstances. Surefire has long been selling handheld lights at even higher prices. Even their small personal incandescents were in the $100 after they started enforcing their dealer MAP agreements.
There are plenty of field applications where a person can't carry $170 worth of Wal-Mart flashlights, but needs something that stay lit for a while, recharge quickly, and is durable.
You are missing me trying to figure out what is open about it. I get Beremiz but the software on the Peak-System doesn't appear to be, at least not all of it. I think maybe the firmware for the IO modules is but I'm not positive.
As for the machine itself, it is more along the lines of a commercial coffee vending machine. Touch a screeen to, I assume, pick the drink you want, and a PC, via IO boards, starts and stops the appropriate field devices to fill the cup.
It would be nice to see some openness come to industrial level automation. Allen Bradley needs to be punished for charging people $200 for a null modem cable.
Probably Ti, all of the fasteners stuck into me are.
I sat through an MRI on on ex just last night, something I normaly would not do for an ex but they had her on Valium and she thought she might need help getting dressed/undressed. Also she has huge boobs. But anyway, the techs told me that Ti fasteners were no problem and that nearly all reasonably modern medical implants are non-ferrous and MRI safe. A pacemaker would go crazy though.
The recipient of a check can present it electronically. In almost all cases the recipient's bank will present it to the writer's bank electronically, and depending on the recipient's size they might present it to their bank electronically. Your paper check might never show up at any bank at all.
I'm told Indiana is as well. I almost feel halfway motivated to maybe think about voting.
I wonder about people who are so quick to label others as morons. If the media is a bunch of morons how did they get the upper hand on you? You are convinced you've been outwitted by morons yet you freely advertise it.
And to one up everybody else, it has functional 20mm canons. And they have a Hummer with a GE minigun sticking out of the roof. And a turret with 2 GE 50s (it might be 4, I don't remember exactly).
They shoot remote control planes with both the turret and the jet, and they shoot remote vehicles with the Hummer. It is ridiculously fun and ridiculously expensive.
Sort of. The way it worked at my bank, I called in the range of checks that was stolen. But each forged check would post to my account and the associated funds would be temporarily unavailable for 24 hours before the bank would reverse it out and return the check to the retailer unpaid.
By closing the account I avoided the random ups and downs associated with that.
And further, the retailers who accepted the forged checks required an Affadavit of Forgery for each one to convince them not to pursue me for writing bad checks. So often, fair or not, the person on the receiving end of the crime has to do most of the work.
The effects will linger more or less forever because the spammer(s) will never be caught or stopped. The clearance rate for homicides in the US is about 65% and I imagine we try harder in that category than in catching caller ID spoofers.
To turn this situation around a bit: A few years ago someone broke into my house. Their efforts to steal firearms were thwarted by the fact that I store mine in a formidable safe so they left with just my checkbook. There are places where, had I not had that safe, I would be charged with a crime.
The police suggested I close my checking account though, because the liklihood of their catching the person who took is was about 0%.

And the blue / red LED cutting through smoke cliche is popular now.
I wonder which one is next to be touted to preserve a person's night vision?

I do set off metal detectors though.
Not any more they don't. Google "Check 21".

Dug 'em up, they were still in there.
Would you say it was correct to award Randall Shugart a Congressional Medal of Honor?
You'd probably get every one until someone in the Legislature got wise, so yes.

I would vote for someone who would pledge to veto the entirety of single bill presented to him.
Biggest news here is that civilization has a lid.
They don't seem to be in the banking industry either...
First episode: Eric Rudolph versus the George Johnston.
Lon Horiuchi has that effect on people.
Lucky for you TFA is mostly a map so you'll not need to do much reading.
I think the ACLU's message here is the same as with their other publications: DONATE MONEY TO US. Which is fine, they have to eat too.
But I'll start taking them seriously when they step on and do work on behalf of the Heller decision.
So does Dillon Precision.

I think you misunderstand the use of the word in the post you replied to.
