Useless. Regular helicopter has only single engine and single rotor (4x less chance for failure) and can land using auto-rotation. Plus electric batteries do not have enough power to lift such large drone.

Even decent internal soundcard does.

Some proof? Perhaps his boss gave it to him. Perhaps it was thrown away. Perhaps it is a replica. Who cares.

There are shoes or bags sold for this price. This thing at least has some silver inside, so its not complete waste.

I can confirm that. On most computers I could tell what is happening on screen just by listening. Scrolling, video playback, task switching all makes different noises. I have decent headphones and amplifier.

To be fair there are many tourists coming to Prague just to drink. And we usually drink low-alcohol beer, 10 degree beer has ~3% alcohol content. And finally hard alcohol is less popular. Actual alcohol consumption is not that high. But y

I just don't get this guy. He is trying to thoughtfully mock some reflection, but it just show him as an alien from different planet. Yes, there are people who have to rely on $500 cars. Yes, cars sometimes broke down, people have to w

I was answering parent questions. There are usually good reasons for clustering and big iron.

That is how you make money on internet. Car broke down? Dress it up and write an article. In next level write about someone sooo rich, he does not even own the car.

I dont think Google Glass 'broke'. Just because new thing is not as successful as iphone, does not mean its failure.

It is one thing to run short benchmark on laptop. Other thing to sustain load 24/7 with demand spikes and hw failures.

MiG-25 is short range interceptor, pretty much useless for anything but defense against bombers.

Have a look at Fish shell for some inspiration.

US pilots carry a gun in survival kit as well. I have not found any mentions about astronauts, but Gemini crew had machete. http://www.answers.com/topic/nasa-project-gemini-familiariza...

Not really, venus atmosphere is way too thick and heavy. It would takes millions of years. Better would be ice ring on orbit to block sunlight, or bombarding surface with comets.

Doolittle Raid is probably the biggest disaster caused by wrong date calculation. But it is practically unknown in hacker community. It was first bombing of Japan in 1942. Bombers were supposed to be refueled in China. But they crossed inte

Top 10 something lists are far from exact. Second best job in this list is 'game designer'. Obviously this list ignores overtimes, job stability, living cost etc.

They dont. In java we fairly often dive into memory layouts and how bytecode is JITed into machine code. But to be fair Java is low-level language at some levels.

Depends on platforms. In general use right data structures, optimize hot-spots and basic hardware awareness.

This sort of question will become obsolete, once data are freely available. 4TB tarball with Usenet archive. And nice ecosystem of open-source tools for mining. Already happened with maps thanks to Open Street Map.

Did they finally implemented command history in shell? Last time I used OpenBSD it was considered as possible attack vector.

If church has a good wifi and some tables, I am willing to give it a try, instead of coffee shop. I promise to keep video calls at minimum during mass :-) Now bit more seriously. I could easily imagine some sort of two week 'hacker cam
