I do miss the manuals, particularly the simulation games that had technical references, historical information and stories. The art-books that came with some games were pretty cool too. But for the most part, the packaging and pack-ins were

A few years ago, at my previous job, we did a two week trial of g-suite and o365. Our o365 was down for about half the trial period. We chose google....

I'm not a fan of that example - the cars photo is more zoomed in than the others.

It's worth looking at some video of what a laser strike looks like from the cockpit. eg: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eoj3H7LMy2k And because this happens at night, the pilot looses their dark adaptation - they will

Overtaking, but on the outside lane instead of the inside lane.

Probably thinking of 'voitures sans permis', really small cars that can be driven in France by people without drivers licenses. (Including by people who've been disqualified...)

I wonder how effective grid isolation/'anti islanding protection' is, when the 'island' is big enough, and contains multiple grid tied solar installations. It probably comes down to how they detect a grid outage. Bu

I have the impression that the space station isn't the most hygienic of environments. I wonder if that poses any problems for growing something like lettuce, with it's very high surface area, for food? Edit: clearly I should have

There were plans to launch a VASIMIR Ion drive for testing - The ISS was the only thing in space with enough electrical power to test it. Apparently NASA lost interest around 2015. I think I read something about assembling a manned mars shi

I had the impression (although I can't remember where from) that amalgam fillings were surprisingly benign. They're small, leach surprisingly little, and what they do leach is in a form that isn't readily bio-available. Whic

The battery contains more than just lithium - It has to be able to sustain a redox reaction internally to do its job.

Allegedly rich. It's still not clear how rich or poor he actually is. In any case, I very much doubt he spent any time at all in a McDonald's. At most he would have used the drive though. More likely be sent someone else to the dr

Is that really a problem? Isn't it so dense it will pretty much stay put?

I shared an office space with a company that provided video analysis and recognition as a commercial expert witness service. (This was in The UK). They had a system of levels of confidence they would use in their reports when identifying so

I strongly doubt an iphone app can have sufficient access to the phone to do anything useful. Maybe if the app bundled an exploit. But that's unlikely to be sustainable.

I thought that the instrument used to measure the curvature of the mirror was mis-calibrated.

If the DRM code was cleanly separated from the normal flow of the game code, it would be trivial for crackers to patch it out.

Building jam resistant navigation radios would require too much power to be practical. The real transmitters are too far away.

Why does the air move faster on the upper side of the wing? It's not because there's a magic force that requires air particles parted be the leading edge to rejoin thier partner at the trailing edge. The air particles on the upper

Or they could just stop screwing with it? Every windows update makes the strips a function from the control panel and ads something not quite as good to the settings app. After the last update the settings app even has ads for 'bing re

Not at all. That's a direct cost, and one I can choose how to control.

You could try to read the pressure in the oleos, but it's likely to be inaccurate. At least if there is a breeze, those wings are still doing their thing...

Some airlines have started doing exactly that. I think it was a pacific island airline that did it first. However, I'm the same height as aplummer. Whilst I probably should lose some weight, my lowest healthy weight is inevitably going

But only until the affected certificates expire. Which will finished in only 90 days time, which was the driver for the short validity period in the first place.

The (completely false) theory underlying chiropracty says that it can do .. basically everything. That's supposed to be a feature. The 'problem' is not chiropractors failing to stay in their lane - If they follow the theory,

Then the not snake-oil subset should abandon the label of chiropractor. Otherwise they're just giving cover to the charlatans.
