Too late now, but it's a good idea to keep your own backups of all your FB data. There is a well-hidden option under the settings to make and download a zip file with all your posts, comments, photos, everything. Worst case this can be

Marble is too soft. Granite is better. I've made arrangements for my most important personal data (full name, birth and death dates) to be engraved on a granite slab when I die. This slab will be physically arranged alongside others, o

From an electrical standpoint it's safe as long as your inverter cuts off when grid power goes out. Grid tie inverters are designed to do that. Some meters will be unhappy running backwards. They may not register the right numbers but

It's not a technical restriction, it's a regulatory one. Like how parts of the UHF spectrum are allocated to TV and parts to radio. They don't want near earth communication going on in the deep space band because it will swam

Even if they're not very smart couldn't they hard link these?

In a way it was awful. It was sort of like anti-agile. There was absolutely no dialog between the devs and the customer. If the requirements said the throttle had to be on the touchscreen (to use an example from another comment), that'

I was a developer at a large contracter doing work for the Navy in the 1970s. Compared to today, there was almost zero code review, but an insane amount of testing, from the lowest module level to the highest integration level, both against

Maybe. Our electric bills are about as easy to read as Mayan hieroglyphics.

I live in Yucatán. Most of what they're finding in the cenotes is trash. One of them had hundreds of electric meters in it. So it's nice when they find something like this. In the jungle they have found thousands of artifacts and

This part doesn't make sense: "When he’d first opened Alamo Airways 17 years earlier, George Crockett had deputized his own fiesta-red Ford Thunderbird convertible..." 17 years before 1958 would be 1941. But the first Thunder

It's a Dymaxion projection. It has low distortion over land at the expense of leaving huge gaps at sea. So you can't swim or fly across the oceans, or go around the world, but distortion will be low within each continent. https:&

I live in a 200 year old house in Mexico. The walls are half a meter thick. At night we open the windows, which are oriented toward the prevailing winds, and the house cools down. Mid-morning we close it all up and it stays cool all day. Me

That's not true, at least in Michigan. A driver's license or state ID card is acceptable ID, and it does not provide proof of citizenship. A passport is also acceptable, and it does not provide proof of residency. Voter ID simply

Restricted is at the very bottom. Well, SBU is below that, but SBU is not classified.

I live in Mérida, Yucatán, and our cathedral was built in the 1500s out of blocks taken from older Mayan temples. So you can go inside and see Mayan heiroglyphics on the walls!

I just searched back in my old files and found a simple C program that I wrote and was last modified in August 1981. I just now tried compiling it and although it threw up some warnings about return types and implicit declarations, it compi

Under the Berne convention all creative works are protected by copyright. And I see no license notice. So it would be a violation of copyright to copy one of these to your own web site. Unless there is some quirk of law that says these aren

Anyone know the actual rules? Is it a hard limit on the amount of power a home computer can consume, or is it something more subtle like a limit on the power when its idling?

Very nice. As others have said, the sections that start with headings inside double asterisks ("*") should be set off somehow. I would suggest a paragraph break, with the heading either on a separate line or on the same line with

Yes, something between a $500 bicycle and a $20,000 car. The barriers may be as much regulatory as anything else. In the US all cars must meet highway safety standards even if they will never be driven on the highway. I think it's even

It's been bothering me too, but it's been several decades since my Algorithms class in grad school and I thought maybe the definition had changed.
