People seem to think it's an issue with the solar panels on twitter. It's looking like the solar panels didn't deploy.

From what I remember NT had some sort of time overflow that would happen after something like a month that caused all sorts of instability. And from what I remember it was SOP to reboot at least once a week. Daily wasn't uncommon either.

I mentioned SNI in my post. It doesn't work for anyone using IE (any version) on Windows XP. Unfortunately, that's enough people to make it impossible to use unless you have an extremely tech-saavy customer base.

Correct, it's really not a solvable problem. It boils down to two problems: 1) SSL hostname has to match the hostname on the cert and 2) you can (realistically) only have one cert per IP address. For 1), you would have to upload the ssl cer

It depends on the turn. With training you can do gentle turns (std rate, 15° bank) with the artificial horizon, turn coordinator, and watching the compass. When doing standard rate turns I watch the nose on the horizon, the turn coordinator

Induction does not work. At all. The UI flickers and moves around. Views snap out of existence and then back based on where you click. And it crashes constantly. I don't think I was able to view a single row from a single table. It also app

The UI looks very much like a programmer wrote it. But I can ignore the gradients and the Soda UI theme makes it look more like a native app. But the find panel is the sole reason I cannot use ST2. Every time I bring it up I can't remember

On MacOS/MySQL I use Sequel Pro ( http://www.sequelpro.com ). Stable development is a little slow but the nightlies are fairly stable. I really wish I could find something like Sequel Pro that worked with PostgreSQL. PgAdmin III is.. functi

f.lux caused my mouse to randomly jump on OS X. It didn't seem to matter how fast I'd move it, every 10s or so it would jump 1" in the direction I was moving. Really, really annoying.

Completely depends on the car. Wife has a 2006 Mariner, it has 19mm wheel nuts. My '91 Explorer is 5/8" or 9/16" or so (I don't remember). I also have a BMW that's 100% metric of course. And a '68 mustang that's 100% SAE. The explorer is me

A ricer cooker cuts off when it gets too hot (when the water gets absorbed by the rice and the temp rises). A slow cooker/crock pot keeps a consistent (and relatively low) temperature for a period of time. Some have timers, some don't. Some

7% chargeback rate is insanely high and I wouldn't be surprised if your merchant dropped you. Realistically anything over 0.5% and you're doing something wrong and that's even a magnitude higher than what I would shoot for. Also, selling at

by jcoby 14y ago
Ahh, news to me. I did some brief searching and it seems like the time limit depends on several things (including type and amount of charge and physical location of the vendor). It could be as little as 45 days or as long as 540. It's defin

by jcoby 14y ago
Just FYI, with most CC processors, chargeback fees are in addition to reversing the original charge. So you would be out $25 if you were to get a chargeback. And if you won you would get the $10 back but still loose the $15 chargeback fee p

I've been working from home for five years now. It has its perks but I do miss some things about working in an office. Mainly the clear demarcation between "work" and "home." Working from home I just make myself some coffee, walk upstairs,

This is how I learned to code. I sat down with the Turbo C book and typed out the examples. Later on (early-mid 90s) I would download code from CompuServe. Instead of using it wholesale I would try to recreate it using my own style and nami

OS X and Ubuntu also don't have two modes of operating. Win8 is basically two operating systems that you can freely switch between. (I use Windows for games and for testing in IE. I use OS X as my primary OS. The below is from a few hours o

Really? Because BA 38 shows to me why software has a long way to go before it can replace pilots. So you want to detect a fail to spool? OK you need to put a sensor on the engine to detect speed. And one on the throttle to detect position.

How do they expect future ATP to get 1500 hours? Cargo and CFI time? Sims? Even circling around in a Cessna 150 at $50/hour that's $75k and it's not even useful time.

Maybe I'm missing something but how is post_userid better than post.userid? It's the same length, harder to type, and clutters up your table definitions. I've been through all of these naming schemas over the years (including the OP's tbl p

No and yes (respectively). Rebase rewrites the history of whatever branch you are on. Squash converts a merge into a single commit on another branch. Say you are working on a feature in a branch and have made several commits. Now it's time

Here in the US oxygen is required for the primary crew at over 14k cabin altitude. At 12.5-14k it's required after 30 minutes. No requirement under 12.5k. I have flown at 12k for 1 hour and could tell that the air was much thinner and that

Yeah, and it's annoying that the discrete switch is kept until the app shuts down. I have no clue what Gitbox is doing on the change set viewer to trigger the switch. I didn't see any animations. Chrome also triggers the discrete GPU so I c

I bought it but it triggers the discrete video card in my 2010 MBP whenever I view a change. That makes it impossible to keep running or it will drain my battery twice as fast. I do like the single view but it really needs to have the timel

I tried building pypy on my macbook pro w/4 4gb of ram and 2.4 GHz i5. After over an hour I had to give up and cancel it. It took another fifteen minutes for the system to recover enough to where I could start using it again. I don't know w

AFAIK, it only takes a zener diode and a resistor to drive LEDs in an automotive application (or any automotive electronic device that runs on < 12V DC). The power is already rectified by the time it leaves the alternator. Worst case is

I'm aware of that method. It's not an ideal approach IMO. Specific errors should throw specific exceptions. That way I can handle the ones I know how to handle and let the others bubble up and either completely break the app to be logged an

Many of the problems and annoyances with PHP could be fixed while keeping backwards compatibility. Just a short list I can think of now: - Short array syntax. Completely optional but would clean up the language quite a bit. This has been pr
