It's to trick people into thinking they can only buy a Sony Blu-ray player to go along with their Sony TV to go along their Sony soundbar. I'm glad everyone's stuff gets along for the most part but the fake vendor lock-in is

Companies would probably prefer paying their employees in one lump sum every year (think of all the interest you could make investing their wages throughout the year!) The shutdown doesn't really affect corporations that much. Many gov

Congress already signed off on giving everyone back pay and I've read that they will be giving out a 1 day's pay and a $500 bonus to all TSA officers. It helps cushion the blow of having a $0.00 paycheck but it doesn't fix th

The private key would need to be stored in some read only media like a smartcard or a PROM chip. A boot environment that can only be externally programmed would need to be the first thing to start up and check the integrity of the filesyste

The whole internship thing for STEM careers is to onboard you early while you are still cheap. Even if you don't work for the company that you interned with, the progress is still there so on day 1 you aren't totally lost. No one

It seems like it would be pretty easy to just have a step down transformer from 120VAC to 9VAC. Also wire up the 9VAC to a bridge rectifier to get 9VDC to then convert down to 5VDC with an LDO or buck regulator of proper current rating. It

All it would take would be for Tesla to send out a verification check to get software signatures from all running that have phoned home anytime in the last 6 months. If something doesn't match, Tesla calls you up and tells you your car

You can also split the cost of the 21k across many people. You walk away with less money if you win but you also get a chance to play without selling a kidney. The hard part wouldn't be the finding a fraction of the 21k but finding eno

They probably spent too much on development and didn't sell enough of them. That's a quick way for management to shut down the professional digital camera division. They can just buy whitebox designs from China and slap their name

And they still show awful quality pictures where you can't make out how terrible the paint is and how much dryrot the door frames have.

It sounds like someone had an abundance of sensors and DRAM and needed a quick way to unload both of them for as little cost as possible. I'm sure they paid an engineer as little as possible to design the thing because I can't ima

The military does run their stuff pretty hard but at the same time a commercial airliner pretty much runs 24/7 because every minute it's not in the air is a waste of money. Military stuff always has to be ready to go but that does

The Sun font was monospaced but just had serifs. Overall pretty terrible to stare at and very 90s.

Janitors usually aren't going to enter the bathroom and start cleaning until someone leaves as a courtesy. He was waiting a long time for Lendrum to leave, apparently much longer than a usual amount of time for someone to use the showe

Costco does sell in bulk but it's not a Family Dollar. It's for the middle class to save some on their name brand groceries because they can afford to pay more at the register to go a little longer between trips to the store. It&#

Another option is to force an increase in minimum wage which is what most people in those positions make. Not every company can afford to keep the same amount of staff on hand at that price so some people would be let go but it makes the re

It's not much different than any other Nvidia card. Dual fans, dual slot, it's probably smaller than some of the monster Radeon cards AMD used to make. They make smaller versions of some chipsets but what you lose in volume you lo

You need to compare it to someone inventing something like a windmill. In ancient times, someone was crushing grain with a rock. Pretty tedious work for little reward. Then someone figured out a way to use a bigger rock by rolling it. Then

Great thing about e-cigs is that you can wean yourself off the nicotine while still keeping the simulation of smoking. You can buy progressively lower nicotine concentrations until you feel comfortable with no nicotine. Once you don't

Certain addictions are pretty much life sentences. Heroin addicts will always want another hit regardless of how good they are at suppressing the addiction. A lot of people OD because they've been clean for so long that their tolerance

Commercial GEO is declining. Cell networks are becoming good enough that they can beat out satellite network providers. Same with TV networks, why bother with a satellite uplink when you can stream 4K over the internet?
