Can't remember too much modex assembly, but ... Does the CGA have a vsync non-display blanking interval that could prevent tearing?

Probably ~16 mpg, so a donation link for fuel budget would be fair. I think people would help because of the awesomeness.

As to possible improvements (it's both a house and a vehicle, so there's plenty to keep one busy if that's the choice): Solar panels are much better these days and a bus has obviously tons of space to put them. AGM batteries

Only mentioned as windows are biggest heat loss sources other than doors, and this bus has tons of windows obvsly. I'm with you on that point. What's the least flammable insulation available for body filling, fiberglass? Edit: ce

Oh man. After smell of VOCs, etc. Fire is the other concern. Exits gotta be clear and plenty.

A simple sheet of clear plastic (even cling wrap) sealed across the window will keep air from circulating. Used this on a house with single-pane windows growing up. Works amazing, simple and cheap.

Woz is leaving for Australia. ~ 1200 people gave up their US passports in 2012. The USG is like a bad neighbor: not dealing with them is still going to affect you, even if you ignore them.

As a critical issue: there needs to be a mobile app, which upon opening, immediately begins live recording of video and audio to a remote server/s and posts them on vimeo/YouTube/etc. If this already happens to exist, I'

Yeap. In order to preserve information causality, spacetime cannot deform instantaneously. i.e., an object X in a frame with relativistic speed near c compared to an observer O. O will be unable to detect X by any means until X is very clo

I would never interview you this way. It's counter-productive. Besides, good people can be shy and talented intelligent people maybe anxious by nature. Hazing people might be good for "team dynamics," but there's othe

The world is the world. Because there are so many other people out there that might be up to no good, so many laws (US commercial code, anyone) that an individual will create so much digital dirt over their lifetime, it becomes very easy to

Anonimity is a basic human right that one should be free to exercise at any time. Without it, those in power or those crazies out there that have nothing better can easily find something to attack those they don't like. This is not t

Yup. There is a popular myth amongst the sheeple that those in power share a citizen's best interests. One must always remember that this ostensible pretense is rarely ever the case.

This trial was political: people vs. government. The government won by not upsetting the people "too much" by giving him a "light" sentence of only 35 years (what a deal). He will lose 5 years of his life for the servi

I firmly believe that Manning did a service to society. However, there is something my grandfather, an Air Force crypto guy, used to say: "... Have a fair trial and then hang the guilty SOB." To me, this always came off as blind

The two are not mutually exclusive and there is overlap. Personally, I don't care whom is in office or how ostensibly benign they portray themselves to be during campaign cycles. Governments are large, uncoordinated, stupid animals ca
