Looking at the screen with the cross-hairs it seems like the bottom right set of figures shows the distance to ISS, which was sitting at around 255m, and should go down to 235m (EDIT: was originally supposed to be 220m) before the crew on

I could imagine a very efficient and quick way for system updates could be built this way. Would reduce hosting and bandwidth costs for the system developers / maintainers and could improve the speed and availability of updates. The only im

My apologies, that must've been some confusion in my mind... it was a 600MW HVDC link... although it is higher now, and works are underway to bring it up to somewhere near 1.4GW.

I'm pretty sure that has been shut down in one of the last few culling rounds. I agree that it was very useful, it also had a good sidebar that seemed to learn which rss feeds were likely to be interesting among other things, but I stopped

New Zealand has had a 600V HVDC link from the South Island to the North Island for quite some years - most of the power is generated by the hydro lakes in the south, then delivered via a 610km link to a substation in the north, where it is

Well, the ease of implementing A/B testing should keep patio11 happy... I've noticed he seems almost religiously fanatical about it, and probably for good reason! Looking back at a quick search, it seems he's been doing it for several years

I like that. I may use it next time someone hassles me for reading week(s)-old newspapers. I've always maintained that it gives the news a chance to mature, so it becomes a lot easier to separate the filling from the meat, but the flip side

I believe they have quite some involvement with Toyota with regard to transmissions / battery packs or something along those lines. Commercially it seemed a successful deal for them.

I think the biggest statement in the article is The bottom line? Commonly used studies have listed dollars-per-watt of electricity as high as $7.61. According to Dr. Pearce, the real cost in 2011 is under $1 per watt. That used to be the

To expand on your point, if one was to sustainably grow all vegetables required for a healthy, sustainable diet, then currently this can be achieved on around 100-200m2 per person (on earth, requiring no extra fertilisers / soil etc) based

They keep some sort of record on your emails though - a while ago they mentioned that they were "Bringing better ads to gmail" - what they think are relevant ads based on other emails you've received when they can't find relevant content fo

However, autocomplete will fill out the rest of the query for the user to see, so they should get a fair idea if they are paying attention... which they should be when the contents suddenly spins.

However, on most highways the guardrails are only on the dangerous sections. So sticking with this analogy, we should only need to use testing in the more intricate / complex parts of our code. However, current testing best practice seems t

Funny that you complain about page turning... for hundreds of years, it has required an extended physical movement to turn the page. Amazing the times we live in, that page turning has become an effort that becomes annoying. Combined with o

I was going to suggest that google should insert a short "your search [A +B 'C D E'] returned x results" and then follow up with "Searching for [A B C D E] returned y results" to separate the results. Now I think about it, Google is most li

You need to enter the following in the test file X5O!P%@AP[4\PZX54(P^)7CC)7}$EICAR-STANDARD-ANTIVIRUS-TEST-FILE!$H+H* ie ignore the "EICAR Test code" bit. Anyone familiar with disassembly want to give a quick breakdown of what the co

That scenario always makes me think back to simcity (2000?) where as you'd advance, you could build these microwave beam powerplants, and occasionally they'd lose tracking and start burning down your city... I do wonder how RF power transmi

I was thinking more along the lines of a local store, but then you'd need a little script embedded into every page to handle the storage. Essentially, instead of FB like widget -> request to facebook I would think FB like widget ->

Then you start running into failure. Modern electronics isn't really built to last, so having a laptop that will last you more than 10 years is extremely unlikely. Until market demand changes to quality, long-lived electronics, you will sti

Maybe I'm missing something, but for me google.com redirects to google.co.nz (normally happens anyway) but doesn't draw the big blue arrow. Hovering over the logo triggers the alt-text "You're invited to join Google+" and the link will take

One thing that I didn't read in the article, and haven't heard about is whether the placebo effect continues on after the testing phase. One thing that I could see affecting results is that people are selected for a trial, which may well in

Or even better, compare it to a butterfly flapping its wings ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butterfly_effect ) as this kind of comparison is sensitive to so many different factors you can't take any conclusions too seriously. Still, not a b
