Thirded. One of the most satisfying restorations we've ever done was a sand-it-down-to-the-wood repaint/restore of a Space Shuttle. There's an extra level of satisfaction to play a machine where every screw, bolt, wire, and s

Planetary's Medieval Madness remake does indeed use a BBB as a core CPU, connected to a driver board. I don't know exactly what it emulates, if it's emulating the original CPU or it's new code (I presume some emulation l

We could put so many more criminals behind bars if it weren't for those pesky 4th and 5th amendments.

So it takes 5X the number of android users to spend as much on apps as iOS users, and half that comes from the China market. Still not a very compelling argument to develop for Android, unless you come up with the next 憤怒的小鳥.

Gave up at the lede. Admitted insufferable asshole, proven in the first two sentences. Couldn't care less about his opinions of his new $350 toy.

I use Waze every day to negotiate a typically 90-120min (one way) work commute, but it depresses me greatly that humankind has degenerated to the point where Waze would need to alert people to kidnappings and hit-and-runs because they'

Is it really a 'structure' if there's nothing in it?

As big of a screwup as this is/was, they've done pretty well at recovery. They posted some "fix it yourself" instructions last night (that just require you to change your router's dns settings for a few minutes so t

Regularly posted, as is "The Story of Mel, a Real Programmer", but each time they are I have to take a moment and re-read over the stories.

Got acquired, worked there a couple of years, didn't enjoy it. The performance review cycle is a train wreck.

No offense, but it's not fun/interesting enough to get over the challenge. It's hard, to me, since the tile movement isn't intuitive to me, but it doesn't really keep enough of my interest to try to figure out how t

Perhaps, but the PCI card also contains it's own controller instead of using the existing SATA controller in the box. Not a complete justification for the added cost, but even if the flash is the same, getting it connected is more hard

I read that the same way at first, but I think the implication is that other tradespeople don't necessarily need other /venues/ to practice. Or at least other venues that other parties pay to provide.

I had one of those drives at one of my accounts when I worked for StorageTek. Pretty impressive piece of gear for the time, and thankfully they were pretty solid - I feared ever having to work on it.

I made a shirt like that years ago, it's still up on Zazzle. I've never advertised it, I never ordered more than the two I initially intended the design to be for, yet it still turns about $50/year in random sales.

I am far more troubled by his passing than I am openly willing to admit. No celebrity worship here either. What got to me was his comment a year or so ago on Twitter where he said that he would be anybody Grandfather just for the asking. I

No, but I wasn't planning to before all this anyway, so it's not that this issue has swayed my decision any.

I go out of my way to NOT discuss politics amongst colleagues and co-workers, as my political beliefs are not anyone's business but my own and the ballot box's. While in private I actually agree with a fair amount of the ideals es
