My parents had a dryer they bought in 1947 and my dad kept it running until the mid 1990s, so about 50 years. My dad replaced the bearings about every ten years and I think had to replace a switch once. I believe it was from Sears.

I don't think this guy understands what research is and what it's good for. He even says that the AT&T Research Group "were not used to create commercial software and AT&T has never been in the software business"

Seems unlikely. Wouldn't a completely fake entry with random numbers make more sense than a duplicate?

I wrote code professionally for 40 years before retiring. Toward the end I was also doing a lot of non-code crap but I always resisted the push toward any kind of management. I am quite happy at how my career turned out.

I hosted web sites at my house on the cheapest Comcast service from about 2002 to 2016 and never once had a problem. It's possible things have changed, but a ddos attack does cost money and I think it's mostly the large or controv

See if your cable modem has a pass-through mode. This disables the NAT, DHCP, etc and passes the IP address of the cable side of the modem through to one of the ethernet jacks. Then you plug your own router in to that and do your own NAT, D

I had a Panasonic TV about ten years ago that refused to play any content off my home server unless it could talk to its own servers over the internet first.

I don't think that's cut & paste, I think it's dodge & burn. It's something you do while printing a negative that emphasizes the subject, in this case the man, and de-emphasizes the background. I was a news photo

I am using non-standard terms, because that's what he's using. The angle between the steering axis (what he calls the pivot axis) and the vertical is usually called caster angle, and the offset between the steering axis and the wh

He should read up on steering geometry in general. The wheel axis always needs to be offset from the pivot axis or the steering will be unstable. Take a look at your bicycle and you'll see that the axle of the front wheel is at an offs

http://ai is an interesting case. It was there from the early days of the web, back when you could type "ai" into the mozilla url bar and it would take you there. Today firefox "helps" you out and changes wha

Well sure, but if you're worried about traffic analysis you've got bigger problems. The difference here is that if you relay through your ISP they can read the contents of your messages. If you don't, they can't.

Unless you're doing something special, there is a big difference between sending your mail to the recipient's smtp server and relaying it through you ISP's smtp server. The difference is that if you send it direct the ISP can

Where I live in Mexico nobody owns a printer. Instead there is a print shop on almost every street corner. You walk in, print wirelessly from your phone or laptop, or hand them a USB drive, and they hand you your prints made on an expensive

It was almost a non-event for us. I was at a university computer science lab. We were already running tcp/ip before the transition on our Vaxes. We had a TOPS-20 system but rather than transition it, we just retired it. We made very li

That's a non-standard use of the term "food store." Kroger is a food store, Qdoba is a restaurant. And it's a bit misleading to show a photo of some other restaurant's food. I would expect the photo to show food fro

You are correct. The max charging rate of the battery is independent of its voltage, and runs around 2.4 C (Tesla) to 2.8 C (Porsche). You only get this max rate for the first 20% or so of SOC (state of charge). One way to think about this

They don't mention it because the dash is dead. Check any major news web site, even the New York Times, and you'll find they often use the repulsive double hyphen in place of dash.

I've been using Migadu for about four years. My main complaint is that the support is not good. To be fair, they do not promise to hold your hand. And that's fine, I can usually diagnose my own mail problems. Here is an example. I

That's correct, it wasn't the next version of the Ritchie compiler, it was a whole new compiler, the Portable C Compiler. It used yacc to generate the parser, and yacc complained about the ambiguity. They left the old syntax in fo

Here in Mexico everyone is on Facebook. But they don't use it in the classic way, posting vacation photos and family updates. Instead it's a way to find out the hours and location of a restaurant, what night your favorite band is

The code is (or can be) the same either way. I imagine after a few days the user would memorize the codes for the letters and skip the prompts. On a related note, one character per minute is about the same speed as the first trans-atlantic

I'll second that. My dad had a different English folding bike in the 1980s, got rid of it and got a Brompton that he kept for 30 years. I had a Dahon that was ok I guess but the Brompton was way better. The Dahon had lots of frame flex

I don't think so. The 44.8% tax is levied because of the CO2 emissions. The workaround involves classifying it as an N2, which requires the speed limiter. A vehicle with normal CO2 emissions would simply be registered as a passenger ve
