I have a Temporarily light-emitting harddrive cable. Really old 40 MB hdd connected to an old computer with a cheap power supply that most likely couldn't handle the slightly lower than standard power in a friends house.

I feel sorry for you. On high horses there must be awfully thin air and that can cause nose bleed I heard. omg... what?

I'm so desktop first, it's not even funny. But this is one of the few things I do on mobile. When I have the chance to go for a long ride I do the routing every few hours or so. This because I'm using something called Turfgam

Wow, first bike router that chooses the same route I would to and from work. The others all take the steepest hill in the area instead of the slightly longer around the hill.

You forget one thing. RWGPS is (I think) one of the few training apps that can record and display all the data on the free tier. And it doesn't nag you every 5 minutes to upgrade to Pro or whatever. I really appreciate that and try to

$10 per month might be the minimum price that is acceptable in US. This looks very different depending on your salary and if you can choose not to pay tax for health care and such. Have seen cases where different prices for different areas

Don't compare RWGPS to Starbucks please... The coffee isn't really worth that kind of money. But $10 is a lot in different parts of the world. For me that is more than what I pay for my mobile internet connection that works out in

Any more specific than just "The Circle"? The one by M.J. Trow does not really sound so fitting. Are you talking about Dave Eggers? Is this a read recommendation? :-)

If you already asked someone, I'm not needed here so I'm going back to work on project Y that already is late enough.

It is however a logical follow up of the managers behaviour. If they try to hold the estimate as deadline, the estimate will be larger next time. If manager doesn't see this coming, the manager needs to work on some people skills.

The invasion started 2014 with Krim and have been ongoing since then (Lost a remote coworker that year). This was just the next logical step.

The terminator creates a ring I think, so it should be possible to just connect end to end. But then you need to have more cables running around the place. No, I realy don't miss those times :-)

Ah, had no idea it had a name! My clearest memory of that was me as a kid watching a Bond-movie where a sportscar makes a screaching sound when driving down a sandy beach. I turned of the TV and don't think I ever saw a full Bond movie

When they say viewers want it, they mean just about 90% won't notice. Most people haven't been close enough to a running helicopter to understand. I'm having problems watching movies at all, there is so many things breaking m

We were running a small internet cafe with gaming computers around 2000 and I found some bootable solution that you installed on every computer. It saved all changes temporarily and flushed everything on reboot, starting from the clean inst

Yes, you need terminators for them :-)

Or in other words: In one case the "stream" is stored on a harddrive not far away from you, only competing for bandwidth in the last section to you. In the other case the "stream" is comming over the Internet to you and

Maybe user means the difference between a simple calculator that does everything as you type it in and one that can figure out the correct order. We used those simpler ones in school when I was young. The new fancy ones were quite something

We were billed about $5000 per month by Google even though we had asked what the billing change would mean for us and they said you will be inside the free limits. Turns out we weren't.

by Moru 2y ago
My first line of research when I have to use something new is: Can I get a fixed bill every month? What happens if I use more than that, can I limit surprises? If not, I will find something else. We are also very careful with building us in

Funny you should say that. In Sweden, to get good grades in English you have to learn lots of facts about UK, like population, name of kings and so on. What does that have to do with english? It's spoken in many other countries too. An

I would go for Electrolux from second hand store, at least 15 years old. So far in my life I only bought one hoover. Still going strong after 30 years, just a new bag and filter now and then. And I had to replace the power contact once.
