The main advantage of the Sabre concept is not only using outboard air as substitute for onboard oxidizer, but also as reaction mass. This allows to accelerate to over Mach 5 while still flying in airbreathing mode, using a fraction of the

I recommend checking out forums like RCGroups, there's loads of information there. There are many ways to start into the hobby. You can get yourself a radio and a simulator and learn to fly on the computer first. You could go for an off-the

Modern brushless gimbals actually deliver really good stabilization - probably not as perfect as this and maybe not good enough to carry a Red, but take a look at this for what is possible with a GoPro: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ch2i

My last two HTC Android phones had this functionality (the Desire and now the One S). Never used it, but this would be a situation where it could be handy. Although if you're in a car, the car radio probably has better reception.

I use Proxtube ( https://proxtube.com/ ) to circumvent those blocks. Works quite reliably. Youtube is so much better when I can see all of it.

Same with the Mercedes COMAND navigation, it'll just announce the next turn whichever way you are going. I generally like the way Mercedes do things in this regard.

Yes, you can drag-and-drop any git repo folders in it, and it works. However, it only supports one upstream URL per repository.

I live in Germany, and not all of this is entirely true. Liability insurance isn't strictly unlimited, the coverage limits are just very high - e.g. in Germany, personal damages are covered with a minimum of 7,5 mio. euro (with a maximum li

You could make it into a button: "Log me out of Google" or something like that. That way, you can still demonstrate it's easily done, but only people who are interested will see it.

Yes, in Frankfurt it's fairly routine. The security is pretty high, and it gets even tenser at times, when some radical group announces threats and such. It's not only the airport, though; I've seen policemen with MP5s at the Frankfurt trai

Agreed... my Desire is currently almost 2 years old and I'm getting a contract renewal in a month, and I have no idea what phone to get: there are no smartphones with proper hardware buttons on the market anymore, save for a few SE handsets

Yes. Too sad seeing Google step away from many great UX concepts that Android started out with, instead of further building up on them.

And where will you put your user actions then, that belonged in the menu before? Invent a million inconsistent ways to stuff more things in the Action Bar or display some menus elsewhere in the UI? Sorry, but I liked the consistent hardware

Many new-ish forms of entertainment already use the web as a medium, but that has not helped the region problem much. Hulu, Netflix, Turntable.fm and many many other services are US-only.

Of course one can. But what he's talking about are large-scale exchanges, where one makes transactions with funds deposited directly on the exchange.

You can recreate the hash by calling crypt() in php with your PW and the full hash as arguments. Basically, the hash is built like $1$_salt_$_hash_ - by feeding it as an argument to the function, you make it use the same salt used originall

Password hashes are standard php crypt() ones. I'm in that DB, was able to generate the hash using the DB entry (in contains the salt for each password) and my one-time password from mtgox. One-time PWs ftw.

They were hashed using the standard php crypt() method, it generates a salt for every password encrypted. I'm in that database and was able to generate the exact hash. Luckily I use one-time passwords with such things...
