Note: this is only my guess, but it seems quite plausible that inhabited areas have been well-sampled for a long time, but some combination of 1) automated stations and satellite communication making it much easier/cheaper to sample re

There's also https://qmlweb.github.io/ , which renders QML into a DOM tree. Which will probably never be a full-featured an implementation as QML as one painting onto canvas, but is a lot more web-native.

Somewhat. The distinction I would make is not computer crimes vs other crimes, but rather the timeliness of the situation. For an emergency situation, or a case where a wanted individual enters the country anyway, I agree they'd be foo

We don't know whether he did or not. But if they have evidence to support arresting him, the US has an extradition treaty with Britain; they should have shared it and asked British authorities to make the arrest. And there very well ma

Presumably because this is the desktop package of .NET runtime? WPF is the GPU-accelerated GUI rendering library, it makes sense that it would have a DirectX dependency. AFAIK it has always had a DirectX dependency, just one that was met by

You could also charge at something higher than 5V, to keep the current manageable. Something like 1.8A/50V would deliver 90W, same as 18A/5V, still be within most of the safety guidelines, and allow a pretty similar connector bulk

USBank Cash+ too. You have to pick categories each quarter. You get to pick though, which makes it more convenient than cards that just assign random categories.

Yes, but music is even harder . I doubt most FPS shooters would suffer much at 60ms latency, but that's an 1/8 note at 120bpm. I would guess that for a jam session to feel OK, you'd want to be <15ms. Musical tracking has

The problem isn't focus, it's tracking rate. Hubble can take pictures of the moon, but not long exposures; it can't spin fast enough to follow the moon through its field of view, so it has to point where the Moon is going to

It's probably your apache, actually; 2.2 can't do ECDHE, even though the openssl in Debian 7 can. Sadly, this means IE doesn't get forward secrecy, because it can't do do DHE with RSA keys, only DSS.

The problem is the poor density: power stored is just mass * gravity * height. So if we want to store 1kWh, using a hole 500m deep (about the max for elevator cables, which seems analogous) this would need a 750kg weight. Storing the same a
