The article doesn't mention CISA. If it did, they changed it.

Sure it does. In order to generate the money needed to pay the public workers, either taxes must be raised or the monetary supply changed. In either case this affects the private sector economy that shifts investors away from using the ca

The lack of planning and forethought is criminal for the taxes we're paying.

I strongly disagree. Beats is to headphones as Monster Cables are to wires. Pure overpriced marketing B.S. It's fine if you want to buy them for the looks, but know that you are not getting the best sound quality achievable for said

Generally speaking, the audiophile world falls into two camps. Those that think particular makes and models of audio electronics and speakers are somehow "magic" and those that simply want their systems to measure "flat&quot

The sad part about the headphone market - especially over the ear models - is that the sound they produce is so far from natural, that no one knows what thinks actually sound like anymore. Beats headphones are a perfect example and are pro

I worked some of the follow on projects to the 777 that involved the next generation 737. A lot of people may not realize this, but much of the software and avionics that goes into Boeing aircraft is designed, built, and manufactured by ot

The 200,000 is a "summary" at best. The traffic counts are measured between intersections. Some are higher, some are lower, and some people could be getting off before the next intersection, etc. I'm not exactly sure how t

We all pay gas taxes too. Those are supposed to go toward highway infrastructure.

The DC Metro has a daily ridership of about 700,000 trips. This is nothing to sneeze at, and it is impressive. However, I'm not positive how they calculate a trip, but my guess is that it's a card swipe entry and exit. Most peo

I think in some major metro areas, the road capacity is vastly behind what is needed. My commute is is 26 miles of limited access highway that occurs at nearly 1/3 to 1/2 of the posted speed limit. The only reason there is induce

I hate to break it to you, but knowing "just this and this..." won't get you very far when the thing you know is no longer popular, becomes infrequently used, or worse, is no longer supported. It also doesn't help you i

This is what they were trademarked as, but most of the video profession refers to them as 3/4" tape (at least in the US) I think.

Both are helical scan right? I would think that would make reversal impossible.

The recording equipment won't necessarily pick it up. If the microphones are place very close the instruments relative to the other instruments creating the interaction.

First, let me state that I believe that CD audio, played through a modern DAC and quality stereo equipment is pretty much the pinnacle of home audio listening. That is to say, I think 44.1kHz 16-bit PCM audio is plenty good and I'm in

It's not smoke and mirrors. It's akin to the audio world where the final product (an CD or MP3) is mastered in 16 bit audio, but is mixed and edited at a higher bit depth, often 32 bit. In the color world, most of ones job is abo

To add to this, with 10-bits per channel, you could essentially have a 40-bit desktop in ARGB.

Interesting. In the US, shots are usually measured in a jigger, which is often 1.5 US fluid ounces (44 mL). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shot_glass#Sizes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shot_glass#

As a history buff (mostly civil engineering based, roads, bridges, tunnels, railroads, etc.) I find these historic maps extremely useful.

The other point that this sort of thinking misses is that first time buyers are often just not educated. For instance, I don't know how many times in my life I decided I needed X. I bough X thinking it would fulfill my needs. After

The primary reason is that keeping the pads just in contact with the rotor prevents water from collecting on the rotor surface. Wet rotors can affect braking performance and safety.

I actually bought a floppy drive from Best Buy around 2002 as a replacement. I had some old files I needed from floppy, and Best Buy was the only place open. Cost me $35 at the time. When I got home, I was surprised to find the floppy dr

That's a good point. Gasoline engines have come a long way since the days of magneto operation, with variable timing, ignition, and direct injection (of which some piston driven aircraft may already use). Turboprops and turbofans (je

I think it's even true for single vs. twin engine planes. A lot of it has to do with - are the systems redundant, or are they both needed to properly fly the plane. Also whether the probability adds up in a serial or parallel fashion

I'd take more stringent safety standards over ridiculous emissions standards any day. Though, you could argue stricter safety standards fly in the face of emissions standards. More weight in the car, plus if the occupant survives, th
