Obama absolutely will not. His track record of abusing the "Justice" system to harass and torture whistleblowers says so. Yes, it is torture. Facing an unwinnable war against the megalith for no reason other than you did the rig

I have to think "ugh" when I read about this idea. Random three words to every square seems like chaos to me. These also take a lot of bytes to store. In the US, every address or "delivery point" can be represented by

The state I live in is pretty harsh, if you are not working you cannot get SNAP unless a doctor signs off that you are disabled, so that leaves the foodbank (requires resources to travel) and religious operations.

I got some insight from a beggar in Moscow who I met outside a food stall who complained of hunger. I told him to order what he wanted. He refused and wanted cash instead. Not all are like this. I started offering to buy food and some se

I have always hated the idea that I have to pay ESPN and Disney, services I have zero interest in, in order to have video services from the cable company. It's one reason that I dropped cable for TV. As a former cable insider, I know

Congratulations on having a serial A call as your first/only callsign! I'm always impressed when a new person walks in off the street and gets Extra.

It's pretty weak that they both don't fit on a standard duplex outlet without touching and canting each other.

I found a test plan for this on the old 5 series [1] BMW say the engine should return to idle speed "immediately." The wiring diagrams imply that for this car, the electronic throttle was only applied to cars with automatic gearb

Couldn't it work by checking that crankshaft speed increases remarkably without any corresponding increase in wheel speed? I don't know how racetrack drivers do this, but when I downshift, the crankshaft has some opportunity to fa

> Maybe modern cars have enough sensors to know if the engine is actually driving the wheels so they can disable the throttle under braking in those situations. This is possible, any car with traction control has wheelspeed sensors for a

It takes more than 1 s for the throttle to shut, so it's still possible to spin up the gearbox in neutral to downshift. My friend's VW was a manual shift, some variant of Golf, and he did encounter this behavior on a track day.

I have been upset with Toyota's designs, product quality, and business practices since I bought my first (and last) Toyota vehicle. Mr. Barr's testimony reassures me that I've made the right decision in writing them off. One

Thanks for this insight. During a low point in my career I took on some contract work to deploy new POS at some QSR. I had to visit the secret menu on the Ingenico card terminals to verify network settings and in some cases (when whatever

While some card payment terminals talk directly to the bank, there is strong evidence that this is not how all POS work.

Ingenico have a set-up password, too. Once you enter it you can change network settings which could be dangerous in the context of a poorly segmented network. Given this I am wondering what kinds of settings are available in the Verifone s

My experience working in cable headends are that most programs that we watch on cable are delivered using DigiCipher (motorola's) CAS. There are always one or two PowerVu receivers tho: Viacom (MTV, A&E) is one notable feed. Also

by kw71 12y ago
PowerVu is pretty old, and (at least in the USA) it's not really used for home viewing, so I think this isn't very interesting unless you have a giant C / Ku band antenna.

Lol! Less acid. I called frequently. I remember having a chat session with the sysop and was amazed that he could type rapidly in that funky mixed-case all the time. Maybe he had a foot pedal for a shift key?

There are multiple application protocols. The OBD2 spec includes PHYs and an application protocol. One of the PHYs is CAN-bus, and since the CARB application does not do everything (or much of anything) useful to a manufacturer, they impl

You can already buy a CAN gateway for less than $60. $15 is a more appropriate sale price.

While I'm leery of buying anything that requires a lot of "engineering" or "design" from them, I've been quite happy with the cables and simple accessories like memory card readers I've gotten from them.
