What mouse? You haven't finished booting yet. You don't know if you're a laptop, a router or a lightbulb.

I'm also curious which adapter cables have worked for you. I have an old 30 inch HP that I'm reluctant to replace, but dual link dvi isn't available on new graphics cards. And it'd be nice to hook up my mbp.

Not necessarily. Catamarans tend the roll pretty aggressively, even if they aren't going to roll over a wide angle. A SWATH - small water-plane area twin hull - would be a better choice. Basically two completely submerged pontoons with

Where would you say you sit on the physical-dimensions bell curve? I'd hope that the more expensive chair has better adjustability to suit a wider range of critical dimensions than the cheaper chair. But that may not matter for a lot o

I imagine that makes the slow Denise of Sears/Craftsman particularly unfortunate then.

I'm not so sure it's busy-work. There's a prioritisation issue. There are so many diseases, and many more proposed treatments. Without a good reason to jump the queue there are bound to be delays. There's also the effica

Given that Postgresql has transactional DDL, some of the planned safety features seem redundant.

The Reserve Bank Of New Zealand recently said that it's going to cost about NZ$100/per person, per year to continue maintaining NZ's cash 'system'. It's beginning to research how that cost should be minimised,

Haven't Intel tried this before? A quick search hints at [1] circa 2010, but I think I recall a previous attempt circa 2004 I'm pretty sure it was unpopular and short-lived. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I

Gas generator cycle engines are definitely still in use, but a lot of next generation engines use a staged-combustion cycle. The effiency improvements seem to be good enough to be worth the engineering challenges, especially for larger rock

I have the impression that engaging the airbrakes is a little bit all-or-nothing. They're great for stopping (relatively) quickly on level ground. But not so grest for controlling your speed. Big diesel-electric locomotives have large,

Thats weird, because off-road busses have been operating in NZ for at least 30 years. eg the farewell spit tourist operation https://www.google.com/search?q=farewell+spit+bus&tbm=isch I recall these used to be built on

He used to build two of everything. Once to figure out how to make it, and again to film it. So he may end up with two of each project, one to keep, another to give away.

In my area, corrugated steel is sold with 'zinc-alum' and powder-coating pre-applied. I think they also apply paint to cut edges and drilled holes during installation. Its extremely popular, probably seen on around 50% of roofs, a

This page doesn't cover it, but surely projects need to be re-aligned (or even cancelled) just as often as the teams implementing them, if the WHY/WHAT/etc don't make sense. And yet, I can't recall ever seeing a pro

Yes, NZ is in the process of changing the tobacco retail laws to slowly increment the age at which is it legal to sell a buyer any tobacco product. The net effect if which is that it will never be legal to sell someone born after ~2006 any

I find a lot of this freaking out about communications protocols hilarious. It's not like 5G is a new kind of radio, using new frequencies or higher powers. You could substitute 'Morse Code' for '5G' and the conspir

Maybe? But wouldn't you expect at least some non-degenerate matter on the surface of a neutron star? I doubt we'll find any 'naked' neutron stars.

I still think the carriers should just reject calls with obviously fraudulent caller-ids. Call coming from an external interface, but presenting an id owned by the carrier? Reject the connection. And tag the network partner for follow-up in

I'm in New Zealand, and I had some boots re-soled a few months ago. Probably a lot easier with the boots (Timberlands) than the shoes I had done a few years ago. For the shoes they sliced the bottom off the foam-rubber soles, then glue

I thought anycast wasn't reliable for TCP sessions? You can serve UDP services (eg DNS) by anycast, but if you hosted a tcp service, there's no guarantee the same server would receive consecutive packets from the tcp stream
