It should also be noted that there was not one "Tank" SN used, as each component had its own set of serial numbers to be analyzed. In this specific example they used gearbox SN's along with chassis and engine SN to provide th

I've been using Powershell for almost all my Windows interactions for the past 4 or 5 years, and there are definitely a few minor things I always end up missing from the UNIX shells. That said its come a long way from the v1 days, and

Perhaps they're growing alfalfa in their yard. Then its ok to use that much water right?

I was a Nexus 5 owner up until I dropped it a few months ago, shattering the screen, and was banished to an iphone 5s. Wireless charging was one of the things I missed most about my nexus, and I was fairly disappointed when I heard these tw

I enjoy questions such as this during interviews because, if I've handled the interview well so far, I can turn the question around a bit and use it to feel out the interviewer's opinion on a more important topic, or reinforce one

I was disillusioned with the college experience almost as soon as I began. I started college in 2007 after ~14 months deployed to Iraq, so it was a significant culture shock to be dropped into such a coddling environment. Having to talk to

I'm not suggesting freezing anyone to death, but its a lot easier to toss on a layer of clothing compared to the alternative. Granted, the article mentions this, it just seems preferential to have an office a bit too cold rather than t

There are a few examples, the first that comes to mind being the ISS's unmanned supply missions. From my own KSP experience though, I'm fairly sure I wouldn't want to be the one trying to do the docking.

A bit old, but still relevant - http://archive.gao.gov/f0302/109884.pdf I'm no expert on the topic, but it seems to me that if heavily loaded trucks are causing a disproportionate amount of damage they should be t

It seems making it "pay a lot to win" isn't that much better than straight pay-to-win. I never understood how these players could tolerate broken mechanics in such an expensive game.

I think I see where you're going, and you do raise a valid point. My comment was aimed more at the abrupt logical jump made by the user above, from free speech to rape harassment.

I'm not sure how you jumped from free speech, to harassing rape victims. Last I checked, harassment requires something more than just freely speaking an opinion once or twice.

Not even remotely objective, but a decent enough propaganda piece that highlights the major high points of the Pixel.

I disagree. The author makes it clear they're referring to the added weakness of having a device charge via a non-secure port as compared to the inherent insecurity of USB ports. The added vulnerability is based on the ease at which pe

Thats a bit pedantic, as well as inaccurate. I wouldn't call any party in the War of 1812 a clear winner, as there were gains and losses of approximately equal value in the end. So depending on how you want to view the Civil War, the U

If we're going to use medical metaphors for our disaster of a justice system, how about we just admit our prisons are a secondary infection?

While your link is not exactly pertinent to the above conversation, it does highlight how vulnerable people can be to violent action, regardless of police presence, and it serves as a reminder that personal security is in the hands of the i

This seems to be in line, albeit with a different conclusion, with the Pew research into age and political leanings. It seems unlikely that political preference is tied to naming in that direction, rather popular name cycles occur during pe

The largest failing, in my opinion, is that they've built the system into the helmet rather than building something which can be worn under the helmet or mounted to existing helmets. I'd be willing to take the distraction risk of
