I currently pay £4.42 per 1000l for a normal mains piped water supply (and for the drainage system to take that water away again). 1000 gallons is 4546l, so the cost for desalination is £0.86 for 1000l by your price. Sounds like desalinatio

There are several things that limit the lifetime of a phone: 1. Battery 2. Software 3. Charge port/headphone port 4. eMMC storage runs out of writes 5. Accidental damage 6. Screen scratches 7. Wanting more RAM/stor

I stand corrected. But anyhow, something in the css is making it show just a blank white page.

The article is about PM2.5 consumer units, and I can well believe that price doesn't make much difference. However, I'd like to point out CO_2 - there are two kinds of sensor. One of them measures volatile organic compounds and as

Please could you consider changing the CSS on the article. At the moment, the web page has "display: block" on almost everything, which does exactly what it says on the tin and produces a blank white page, which does make it a lit

Stars are broadband light sources, there isn't a specific starlight wavelength. Likewise, the Raleigh scattering in the atmosphere is largely a broadband source of light, since it is a reflection of our sun's light. You might get

Kernel bugs are rare. Most (almost every single) vulnerability can be patched without rebooting.

Agreed - it was very much a case of Debian taking the reasonable stance that it had standards that required it to only use free stuff, and wanting to have Firefox available to install, and then Mozilla requiring that they not call it Firefo

I won't argue that JS doesn't add something to the web experience. My main reason for having JS switched off by default is because JS adds something to the web experience. Namely, a whole load of annoying things like outrageously

It shouldn't be safer . However, using a battery-backed write cache in hardware RAID allows the OS to just dump the writes into the cache, get the message that they're safe very quickly, and then move on to the next thing. So, a

It would be much more of an advantage on Venus than it is on Earth.

Depends on whether you take atmospheric drag into account. If you do, then you'll be fighting Venus' thick atmosphere all the way up, and that 27km/s figure could well be accurate. I don't like it when delta-v maps inclu

2) The Romans used an inclination of 1:1000. The Quattara basin is 80km from the Mediterranean and 60m lower. So it's not looking good straight away. As the water level rises, the drop will be even less. Also, the amount of water that

Also to be fair, it was created with water from a river that had all sorts of horrible run-off from farms in it, which is why it is so particularly toxic. I'd expect projects like the ones mentioned in the article to be slightly cleane

I'm struggling to think of a single word in an American accent (from American people I have listened to) that has a letter "o" pronounced correctly, as IPA "ɒ". If that's true, and Americans never learn to make

One of my ambitions in life is to make a pronunciation guide using example words that are pronounced differently by different people.

If you're using a telescope, say with a modest focal length of 1000mm, then if it is held still on a tripod, then the stars will move across the field of view at a rate of a few pixels per second (depending on the exact sensor, and wha

It depends. Thing is, there's plenty to take pictures of out there that is big and dim. A camera with a decent camera lens (or even a not decent camera lens, at a push) on a tripod will get you good results, as long as you can collect

They were a combination of lucky imaging to get the very centre of the galaxies in high resolution, and traditional long integration for the rest of it. I know, because I participated.

Maths check - 31mpg is 11km/l. (31mi/gal * 1.60934mi/km / 4.54609l/gal) Having said that, my 13-year-old normal sized diesel car does 60mpg in normal use.

Thanks, but the readme says at the top: MOST PHONES DOES NOT SUPPORT CALL RECORDING. Blame Google or your phone manufacturer not me! So I'm not holding out much hope.

As an android user, same question. The last app I used successfully stopped working after a while, and I got the impression Google did this deliberately.

I'm going to disagree with you, because decent deep-cycle lead-acid batteries can last very well, and they are very much cheaper than LiFePO4. https://youtube.com/watch?v=LPPUqLZOqCQ is the video that persuaded me, eve

I'm pretty sure Linus used Doom to stress-test the memory-management, not Quake. I have had a quote in my stash for ages: I've run DOOM more in the last few days than I have the last few months. I just love debugging ;-) --

Agreed. It isn't the third party that is the issue - it is the separate purpose. For example, if I access a web page, I'm giving my IP address to the server, so that it knows how to sent the data I just asked for back. That IP add
