In the late eighties we imprisoned a bunch of daycare workers for satanic ritual sexual abuse, based on tedtimony coerced from children over long periods. No physical evidence was ever found.

Simple and cheap versions of this exist: https://www.uline.com/Grp_332/Damage-Indicators [edit] Uh, maybe not so cheap from this particular company. You probably could do this for less with a little electronic device

Of course. I just wanted to point out that I changed everything that could be changed apart from buying a new router. I am at Google's mercy, they created the problem and only they can fix it.

I have apps that ask to switch it back. They won't run without crap positioning.

There's a story I like to tell about Amazon shipping.. I often get standard sized boxes with a single air pillow or nothing at all protecting the smaller package inside. The latter is what happened when my friend ordered a phonograph n

Wifi mapping is the method by which google has no idea where I am. My roommate moved across the country and moved in with me, and android thinks I'm at his old house whenever I connect to his wifi router, even with GPS enabled, and eve

I think that was intended to be a jab at the author/article.

Because it works for the people who are doing the work. Many outsiders have suggested that they switch, but that advice never seems to take hold.

I do a lot of drawing and sometimes I build panels for prototype machines, but mostly I spec out components, talk to vendors, and do paperwork. FWIW, I work at a small company that makes industrial meat processing and packaging equipment.

Same in the US. It amazes me that it's legal, it doesn't match any reasonable interpretation of the word.

I don't want it to look like modern stuff, but it could use some tweaking and usability consistency improvements here and there. It's the whole 'papercuts' thing, nothing terrible, just a bunch of small issues (font size

Oops, yeah I recalled that the subsystem that caused the problem didn't need to run after launch, so I was thinking it fed incorrect data to the auto-destruct system, not that it actually went off course.

This discussion reminds me of the failure of the first Ariane 5 launch. The flight-termination system was activate erroneously, and the payload was not insured. Ouch. http://www.esa.int/esapub/bulletin/bullet87&#x2

One nice thing about the physical CDs is that they're trustworthy source for the release's signify pubkeys (which you can compare with the ones on the website.)

Of course it doesn't "trump ethics." In the context of a hand transplant, the likelihood of the procedure resulting in a useful hand is a large part of deciding whether or not it's ethical. The likelihood of improved qua

Spain is pretty darn temperate. Average daily highs don't even rise above the 90s in the hottest months. There are a lot of areas in the US that are far hotter, and if you're thinking about taking advantage of solar energy, chance

And don't forget, you have generator efficiency to deal with as well. If you're 90% on both sides, the system is only 81% efficient. Ouch!

That's probably a difference in suspension/tires/balance rather than drivetrain. With front biased AWD (very common setup) you have to apply power to maintain attitude in a skid, just like FWD.

Ramnode. Their prices are good and their support is phenomenal. I've always gotten replies to my tickets within minutes, often from Nick Adams himself (Ramnode's CEO.) A few examples: - Whenever a new release of OpenBSD comes out,

The introspection/detection part. That's the only part, actually. It doesn't stop the signals by itself.

You don't need to make a deletion request, you can deactivate your account from your account settings, and it offers to delete everything for you. That's what I did when I wanted to close my account recently (I wasn't using t

From what they're saying in this article, it seems like they're just using it to push air around in the right spots, ionization is a byproduct.

This sounds like something straight out of the Unix Hater's Handbook. :) But epoll is not the fault of Unix. Linux gets it wrong, but others do not. There's a good (and wildly entertaining) discussion/rant about it in this BS

I did a similar thing to thwart a roommate who would always turn down the thermostat so it was frigid inside. I changed the calibration so it would show a temperature a few degrees lower than reality. He never touched it after that, and the

The background is light colored and the foreground is 100% black, and the text is full width and large on my phone. What would mobile support mean, a hamburger menu and no zooming? No thanks.

Windows 10 solves this by blocking the cursor from crossing over to the other screen at the corners. I find it works really well.

Sucks if you're from the city and want to visit your friend/loved one in prison, though.

One of the things they talk about in the article is building structures that can be moved and used elsewhere after the event, which seems like a pretty good solution.

I think those have Alps key switches. I liked Apple's ADB keyboards as well, and I kept one even after moving a few times, in the hope that I could use it again some day. I wonder if I could find a USB adapter for one. Microchip actual

Mhmm. I had a T40 and it was awesome. I wish they still made them like that.
