Yup, I just saw that. If it's just storage I definitely agree with you it's overpriced. But if it's storage, upload, and search... It's probably overpriced but I'd rather have someone who knows how to handle that pr

Is the contract only for purchase or is it purchase and support? In the case of the former, yes it feels wasteful. In the latter? Not so sure. Furthermore, does it include equipment for collecting, storing, and searching produced footage?

I went back about 2 years ago for my brother's graduation (he was ME)and it seemed revitalized. Haven't been back since. Maybe I'll swing by sometime this year.

Not just Mechanical Engineering. Their EE and Management programs are incredibly solid too. I graduated with a CS degree there a couple years ago too, haven't had too many issues. They also had a fair bit of R&D coming through ther

Man, I must have interacted with weird middle schoolers at my local hackerspace... Seemed like every last one of them had either some simple arduino project or something with a RasPi they were working on. I'd hate to live in a place wh

Touch screen based climate controls make me sad. I can't use them at all. User testing shows that in actual use people prefer the old 3 knob approach but they seem to be drawn to the glossy touch screen that you can't read in sun

Agreed, it's mostly fit and finish. Truth, if we only look at on road performance the CTS/ATS probably beat the 3 series. But the interior of a BMW is just leaps and bounds above the cheap feel of the Cadillac. Source, daily drive

Not the other poster, but I am always bothered by the fact that, because I live in NH and work in MA, I have to pay MA state income tax. Now, because I DO use the roads there, and in the case of an emergency in that state I'd make use

A couple minor factual inaccuracies. > Where the electric motor really delivers is in torque - 210 ft-lbs of it. And not only that, electric motors deliver the same torque over most of their speed range, starting at 0rpm. Uh, no. Electri

Not just high end in the US either. My old Mini had some issues and they handed me keys to the closest thing they had available on the lot (another Mini). I wouldn't consider Mini to be a high end brand... and I didn't exactly hav

Interestingly, this is how I was always taught to think of numbers. Beads on a stick represent all numbers. 1 bead is 1. A ten is therefore a stick with 10 beads on it. A hundred is 10 tens (in a square). A thousand is 10 hundreds stacked o

I do mobile robotics. Printing off a frame for a small robot or a sensor enclosure at home is a lot easier than sending away to commercial shops. And 3d printers are a lot "cleaner" than a mill (CNC or manual). I can also use it for prototy

What about the case of homeschooling? I'm not familiar enough with the economics of it to say it is cheaper than private schooling. I do, however, know quite a few families that have taken this route and I wouldn't classify them as upper mi
