Battery service life depends on many other factors besides just manufacturing quality: time, operating temperature, number of charge cycles, charging parameters, etc. On top of that, each cell design is optimized for some set of operating

In many ways it seemed to be a very chaotic place, where money makes the rules, and most people get by however they can, some in the direst of circumstances. I can understand not wanting to live there long-term. But it's also a city

A classic law of computer programming: "Make it possible for programmers to write in English and you will find that programmers cannot write in English." It's meant to be a bit tongue-in-cheek, but there is a certain truth to

I don't know why it rankles me to think that generated power should be fed into a dump load just to make the storage owners extra money. Even though it's inefficient at the system level, it shouldn't be harmful releasing ene

Why should they? They have bulk licensing deals with PC OEMs and large organizations. They've already got the big money. J. Random Hacker building a PC isn't even a rounding error to them.

Get your blood work done, just to be sure there isn't some physiological issue, like chronic inflammation. Don't expect any miracles from meds. Diet, exercise, sleep. Find things to look forward to. Take it one day at a time.

It's not just simply economic. I'd say it's more like there are many groups of people who do not feel represented by their government. Some of these groups are quite opposed to each other. Add to that politics and media th

I would say that any serious student of interface design would do well to survey many of the popular 2D and 3D CAD packages just so they can experience exactly the kind of issues you're talking about.
