This is painful. You haven't even bothered to use a label on the radio buttons, so my click area is larger. But even had you done that, it would only have been mildly less painful. Use every inch of screen real-estate available on well def

You think there's no difference between Western and Eastern Europe? Really? You insult both regions, and your pomposity is making me a little nauseated.

To get power out of a usb port, you don't need to install any software. And that's what blows my mind, why would you even want to install some software to run a battery charger?? You are right. The 5V and GND are r

There was a TED lecture by a founder of Gap Minder that showed this data in exactly the same way a few years ago. It really opened my eyes that the things I had been told all my life, and was still hearing from people who thought they were

They should never have been allowed to sell an Android phone in the first place. They're probably trying to promote their cash cow, the iPhone by crippling Android in the court of public opinion.

I agree that fission is a powerful technology that environmentalist killed 30 years ago and now can't seem to admit they may have been wrong. I think fission is another stepping stone that we can use in our climb up the energy ladder, but I

That's quite a threat. If you make me actually pay for what I consume in your store, I'll take my business elsewhere! You better watch it. I'm not kidding about this. You just lost a non-paying customer, you SOB!

That was a fun watch! I've bookmarked content authority as well. Can you point us to a finished site, so we can see the end result of the process?

Indeed, you don't need to do it ever. I don't take CVV codes, nor does 37 Signals.

This is more believable to me, as the "set-point" for cruise control is not dependent upon throttle position, but instead, is remembered by the computer. There's nothing to check against to insure believability. More suspect, in my opinio

You usually design so that a single point of failure can't hurt you. If one position sensor (they use pots, since they're practically indestructable and not vulnerable to ESD, power transients, etc) fails, you sense the problem with the ot

I've designed systems like this. You use redundant potentiometers to sense throttle position. If they don't match within 5%, you power down. You also toggle bits in your code. One in the main loop, another in any interrupt service routin

Please forward your proof of this to Toyota and the congressional committee to which Toyota swore this was not the case. It's tempting to blame drive by wire, since electronics is black magic to most people. Keep in mind that most passenge

When I sneak my own soda pop into the movie theater, I have violated their rules. I am running the risk of being kicked out of the theater with no refund and probably be very embarrassed in the process. I am not, however, breaking any law

"The Database" if such a thing existed, should have a field for "probable state". This field could be filled in by the police detective in charge of the case. Most "kidnappings" are just parents stealing their kid from the parent that got

I know I'm probably being too conservative from my years doing embedded and assembly programming, but I disagree with this. As you know, there is a cost to adding functions. They are not free from a code performance standpoint. Are they s

I've lately found myself doing more of this, rather than switch statements or if/else. It works when you find yourself in a function that does only that thing, but often, you're in much more complex function, and you're not ready to return

Yes Buzz Killington, you're right. Silly of him to make such an obvious error, wasn't it. So silly, it makes me smile to think of his ignorance.
