   Train to Lviv, take a cab, cross the border to Rzeszow (Ukrainians are allowed to enter EU for 90 days,) take a train to Warsaw, fly wherever you want.

   I've used to own DiMAGE A2 and remember fondly that aperture priority mode was a bit different than in other makers. There was a specified range of shutter times and when the camera was reaching the limit of the range it started changi

    I believe it was in the 80s. And I wonder if Walken is ever going to tell what really happened then.

    Minutes to tens of minutes (depends of voltage and air humidity.) Couple of hours would be on quite safe side. There's a simple procedure to quickly discharge HV of just turned off TV/monitor but I'd recommend that only for s

    A level of high voltage in CRTs is directly related to the size of tube and whether it's B/W (monochrome) or color (higher for color as you need to attract 3 electron beams instead of one.) In small monochrome CRTs (like 9"-1

    AFAIK there's quite high chance that Apple may issue a security update from time to time even for older OSes if it's really important.

    In iPhones when you lay down your phone screen down the mic is physically cut off. That's why you can't call "Hey Siri" with a phone laying like that.

    Gain bandwidth is directly related with slew rate. Slew rate is mostly an effect of capacitances (gate capacitance in FETs for example.) Noise is mostly caused by thermal effects (atoms bumping randomly.)

    My 2007 RX-8 has been estimated around $5.7k and it is slightly above of my insurer's estimation and also what I'd get if I decide to sell based on my recent research.

    6502 is just not that viable for C-like languages. Mostly because of its tiny hardcoded stack, so for C you need to either emulate the stack in software (slow) or figure out workarounds (mostly involving precious zero page.)

    Some goods are perishable. Modern logistics can have very tight deadlines.
