Obviously TANSTAFL but the clear point here is you can burn coal only once. Solar panels + Li-ion can be reused atleast 500 times (assuming standard Li-ion batteries that crap out after 500 full cycles).

One thing that perplexes me is Google's decision. On one hand they've gone with very bright whites and vibrant (almost iOS like) colors and design in the newest Android 5.0 version. On the other hand, they use an OLED panel for th

There are ethical questions about the person ripping off multiple different products and not crediting them. He is taking a bunch of things and putting them in a nice shiny box with almost zero end user configuration required. Now, that&#x2

The common factor in all these time-sinks is not the phone, but it's the internet. I have a smartphone and although I could definitely live without it, the only thing I've done is disable data. Rather, I'm too cheap to pay fo

Yep. An easier way to remember this is to note that Velocity + Time = c The faster you move, the lesser "Time" needs to be in order to be equal to c.

Firstly, Comcast has no business why he wants to cancel. He might want to cancel because he landed a tails on a coin flip on a Tuesday, and it shouldn't matter. Secondly, with such strongly hostile customer service representatives the

Interesting. I was using my chip card in a country where chip cards were not really well known till last year. Surprisingly they already had chip-ready readers for easily two years before now so I have personally experienced the part where

Unfortunately, it doesn't even matter. If the reader detects that you have a chip card, you cannot use the magstripe even if your chip is faulty. The error you will get, after swiping the card, entering the amount and then pressing e

Oh cool. Didn't realize it was considered a word by itself. I guess it can be considered slang since it's on urban dictionary.

Aren't H1B work visa? But I think your idea of the green card is pretty good to return the balance of employer/employee leverage. I wonder what abuses that might have though.

Resistance of a cable/wire is given by the formula R = <rho> * L / A where rho is the resistivity of the material, L = length, and A is the cross-sectional area. It's a pretty straight forward formula. To lower the resi

So this is one thing that puzzles me. Why can't phones have modular drivers like a PC? Phones of today are way more powerful than PC of the past, but it seems that manufacturers still want to keep an appliance like structure for the ph

To be fair, technology makes it easy to firehose-vacuum data for both the government and civilians if you know how to wield that power. The government needs to supply a letter stating that they're 'quartering troops' in you

Seems exactly like modern day witchcraft/wizardry hunt. If a Middle Age dude was an expert in chemistry, he'd probably be tried quite similarly. The fact that no one around him could even comprehend what chemistry is, is now com

The beauty of your comment is that just a little over half a year ago you'd be considered a complete conspiracy nut and a paranoid tinfoil hatter but today there's no one even saying anything against you.

I'm sorry I don't understand your description. You said a grid of conductive dots right? You'd need two separate grids of dots if you're going to use one-wire. Would you superposition both grids? Then it would short. If
