Depends how well the turntable is decoupled from its plinth. Think in terms of a lumped systems model with a mass on a spring being driven by (probably lower frequency) vibrations from the speakers. "Now that I think about it, there wa

Is there nothing like Timpsons [1] in the US? Small units in arcades and indoor markets or near railway stations in most UK towns of any size. They do key copying, watch batteries and straps, shoe repairs (where feasible) and, yes, shoe lac

I saw Brendel perform Beethoven, Mozart and Schubert pieces at Symphony Hall in Birmingham some time ago. Google tells me it was 2008 [1]. The Schubert sonata in B flat was the last piece and I was in pieces, I've always found that one

Just a point: ticketing in cities. In the UK outside London, a journey via a 'metro' (suburban railway), a tram and a bus could well require the purchase of three separate tickets at a significant premium over sticking to one mode

Suggestion: Write on the right hand page and leave the left page blank (that's the back of the page if you fold the pages over). Then go over the notes later and summarise or add details on those left hand pages. I used to do the colo

I was hoping that ebooks, print on demand, self-publishing and such would lead to a new age of pamphleteering. But it didn't happen like that.

Depends on what screen size/resolution you favour, and the type of keyboard. I like the older keyboards and I'm ok with 1366x768 so I'm happy with an X220 with 8Gb RAM and a 256Gb ssd (sata). I know many people would find tha

Nice to see gnumeric getting a mention. Might be worth pointing out that it can use glpk [1] which provides a subset of ampl [2]. I use it about once a year to demonstrate a simple linear programming model. Gnumeric's file format is pl

Good Lord. Over here in the UK Boxing day is a bank holiday. Many (but not all) organisations take the week of Christmas out as mandatory holiday for efficiency reasons (close building, save heat &c).

It was not my intention to suggest anyone is lying and I am not assuming that there is some kind of 'master plan' in operation. Best of luck with it.

No. That is why I asked the poster above about structures that provide relative autonomy. For instance, in this particular case, the proposal by the Red Hat Display Systems Team may well be considered by the Fedora Engineering Steering Co

Well thanks for engaging with the question. So no separate governance/board of directors and a CEO who reports to IBM. Some services not merged (yet). Redundancies in a landscape that is changing. Best of luck.

Does 'Red Hat' actually exist as a separate entity? Is there any 'relative autonomy' entity for Red Hat, like a board of directors or a council of any kind. Or is Red Hat simply a department in a larger structure? This q
