I don't pickup my cell unless it's from someone I know. I get at least a couple a day and my parent's landline gets even more. I use google voice for voicemail and get zero service at work so I get notifications about having

But going back to a card catalog system, you can really only search in ways that someone else has created. You can't search by words within an article, you can't search using regular expressions (or at least some boolean operators

That's it exactly. The software was already written to run on XP and the crew trained to use those versions of the software. As long as the ship's hardwired-only network is secured from the outside and physical access is limited (

I was hoping the algorithm was to design a new shape of a jar rather than the label of the jar. There are tons of variables and constraints to consider for the jar shape. You want something easy for people to scoop out the product and to ge

I would imagine that since groups like ISIS aren't running their own cell networks, it would be very easy for government groups to locate anyone using those networks. Satellite phones can be just as easy to find too. The only way to re

There are plenty of rad hard memory solutions out there that have modern interfaces and take up no space relative to the size of core memory. Core memory is a thing of the past and shouldn't ever really be part of anyone's modern

GPS data from a receiver is usually output using the NMEA format. The lat,long is reported in degrees, minutes, seconds, and the altitude is reported in meters. After the actual receiver calculates position, I'm sure this same data is

It's probably hard limits set to make sure that the GPS doesn't display erroneous data due to a glitch in reception or whatever but as long as you are computing a running average of the position, those hard limits aren't real

It seems like a GPS meant to go on an aircraft would support checking all degrees of direction before deciding to turn off or just not turn off at all since having an aircraft turn off any of its navigational aids seems really dumb. It soun

The Prime service only works because Amazon is able to negotiate shipping prices due to their volume of pickup. Maybe if you were getting a high volume of delivery everyday, then shipping companies would consider it.

Interesting to see ARM starting to become datacenter worthy now. It's cheap and there is a version geared towards any application you can think of. Now let's see HPE use some FPGAs with embedded ARM CPUs. That would really be the

Does the iPad require any sort of FAA approval to be used in that manner? I know that anything that physically connects to the plane usually has some stringent regulations but I haven't heard about pilots using iPads before. Can you mo

It gets even worse when you buy really expensive SBCs from random small companies. You want support? They just ignore any emails because they either can't read your language, closed up shop, or just don't care to respond. Only goo

I think people would be happy with two different Raspberry Pi like devices, one with tons of GPIO and one with real SATA and 1Gbe ports. Even just having USB 3.0 would be good enough for what most people want their Pi to do. Fortuneately th

Why don't you just close your account your CU and open up an account at the one closest to you? I have no loyalty to my bank. If I move and there's no branches around me, I'll just move to someone else that is local.

The fee isn't a huge deal the times I've needed an ATM and my bank didn't have any of theirs nearby. It's a couple bucks which isn't too bad. Free would be nice but I can understand why banks would charge non-custom

A lot of bars in my college town are starting to require two forms of ID before they let you in. One must be a driver's license but the other can be your student ID card or a credit card. I'm sure it would be easy to fake our stud

Ok so don't install a browser if you really can't control yourself from being distracted by the internet. Install a block list of all news sites, social media, and whatever sites you waste time on if you need to go online.
