If the profit margin is 10% then a 10% reduction in total material and labour cost more than doubles your profit margin if you keep your prices the same. So how small a part of the total is the module cost? Even if you can only save 5% yo

Thanks you! The last change to conkeror was in 2019. Does that mean it's complete or that it is abandoned? Nyxt looks interesting. Perhaps I'll finally have a reason to properly learn Lisp. But what I was really looking for was

What else was there to do? There was no Internet, no television, no football (perhaps), no books, no broadcast radio. I'm only half joking.

In purpose built hotels each room is separately fused. I don't know what the price of electricity was but if we assume 0.10 USD per kWh then 1.5 kUSD is 15 000 kWh, roughly 30 kW continuous for three weeks. It would not surprise me i

Does this do anything to improve the browser as a user agent? That is an agent that obeys the user over the server. None of the current browsers are user friendly and none are scriptable except by experts wielding large external programs.

It isn't equal to g even in SI units except at some very few spots on the surface of the earth. Change the units to any other system and it's not even roughly true. Edit: Now that i have read the article i see that it is no coinci

I had in mind the effects of hot water on materials not originally designed with it in mind and that the water might dissolve some materials at least slightly but also cause expansion where it was not expected possibly resulting in leaks.

Good for you. That doesn't change the impression that many of us have when we see relatives and friends who buy Apple products yet have low incomes. I'm pretty confident they aren't doing it because of any technical superio
