It needs to be that way. Deleting a MMO account or several thousand dollars worth of hearthstone collections should not be something a casual hacker can do with just your password.

Won't fix the root of the problem, which is that PG&E or its' successors can be held liable by the state for having power equipment running through a forest that's ready to burn at the drop of a hat. What should have bee

Well played, PG&E. Well played.

Fair enough. They said that a double rotor version has been developed, but all their prototypes and marketing material are single rotor. We can probably assume that single rotor is all that would fit on an in-wheel design but there are ot

The catch is that radial motors are balanced magnetically and these are not. All that magnetic force is added to axial pull between the stator and rotor. That means they need a thrust bearing in addition to the guide bearings. This cause

The point is that it's pretty clear that overfishing plays a larger role in salmon decline than dams. Tearing out dams isn't going to stop China and Japan from decimating the fisheries, and they will continue to decline. Dams ar

At that time you could get a moderate 386 system at Walmart or Radio Shack for around $800. These were pretty common consumer systems for kids just on their way to college.

For the size of installation needed for power grid applications, Lead-acid batteries require regular health checks, explosion proof storage, ventilation, etc. They also don't last forever. Most utilities expect 30-40 years of life out

HOA's and HOA bylaws are normally mandated and created by the bank doing the construction loan. They do this to protect the value of the property while they hold interest in the remaining lots. The mortgage industry also loves this s

Unless you're taking serious action shots on a violently shaking platform, even a hand tight 1/4-20 isn't going to shake or blow loose. Is loosening a theoretical or actual problem?

We need to distinguish between NPR the human interest/artsy radio station and NPR News. NPR TV news hour is legitimately the most moderate and unbiased TV news left standing, at least when i watched it last (admittedly been a while).

The culture of outrage we see in TV news is carefully crafted to capture and cultivate these votes.

As one of those engineers, I often wonder. In my line of work, if you don't have a stamp, you're not an Engineer. While NCEES offers a PE in software, how many in software actually take the PE exam? Is Professional Engineer even

Error rate would probably depend on the mass and quality of shielding above/around the servers.

And this is a 100% economic decision. With 1.5 million gpd, they would likely just be shotgunning groundwater through their cooling water system instead of using a closed loop system with chillers, and requisite power bill. Just another e

Efficiency of CPU's and tech do not drive electricity demand. If anything, we use more power for tech now than ever before. This is the direct result of cheaper natural gas being on the market, which removes demand for electric heati

Eh, people also benefit from water management. The alternative is pouring all that fresh water into the ocean. You'd be paying for these guys to do it less efficiently, or paying more to the other guy who farms it in the Midwest or S.

Not that simple. Dams and canals aren't just subsides, they're system efficiency multipliers, much like the Interstate Highway system. Sure, we all pay for such things, but the benefits to transport or farming efficiency reduce en

In this case the sealing issue is probably in better shape than the Wankel, since the seal is located outside of the combustion chamber. I could see something similar to a piston ring in a groove with a wave spring behind it being used no p

It can be as beefy as it needs to be. There is no constraint there to limit the design. It is actually an extremely flexible concept from what I can tell. Need a longer stroke? Add more angle to wobbler. Need more Torque? Expand the wobbler

Yeah, I still remember watching it happen in class. Those men and women were all heroes, and inspired many of us to go into STEM careers.

Good for Kapersky, but their opposition doesn't carry much weight. They have a financial interest in continued piracy and other skullduggery leading to more infected computers.

In an ideal world every tooth on the gear is exactly the same, but in the real world they have slight differences that wear each tooth differently. So by having a prime number of teeth, the teeth of two gears don't mesh with the same teeth

Agreed. A lack of huge technical leaps forward hasn't stopped the automotive industry from planning obsolescence. I don't see any reason to assume electronics will be any different.

This should get laughed out of court. You only need a PE license to approve drawings and design work on an official level, not to perform studies.
