If I have gone to all the trouble of getting to Mars, don't you dare send my body back to Earth. And with a whole planet filled with nothing, I think you can find room for a decent cemetery - so that in a thousand years someone can l

And that's just one beam. There's a second beam, too - so they will crash into each other at 13 Tev.

The worst one I ever saw was an iPad app with a cute and cuddly baby that you had to take care of every few hours. If you stopped playing the game for a while, the baby wound up in the ICU, with tubes and a mask hooked up to it. And the onl

Thank you for explaining. Is it possible to misadjust the collar when installing, so as to accidentally defeat the safety interlock? For instance, if you push in, then tighten down?

Yes, I saw that. But what if that $2 processor makes a poor decision, rotates that knob on accident and kills your family?

Not sure I'd want that thing sitting on my stove overnight. If you turn the knobs on my stove too fast, it skips the piezo ignition and just starts spewing gas out. Wouldn't surprise me if this safety issue has been what has kept

It was my understanding that California's CARB emissions standards were specifically written to keep foreign diesel vehicles off CA roads.

That doesn't jibe very well with the IPCC's claim that increased CO2 levels will then increase the water vapor - thereby amplifying the global warming effect.

Yes, I don't think you can take that quote too literally, or the intent is lost. Figuratively, of course, it means people will pay handsomely and hurriedly for you to take their pain away, but it is difficult to get them to pay for pot

So, why do these guys design things and then just give all the files away on the internet? Or is my midwestern-ness showing?

Since they're looking for ASIC engineers, I guess they're a mining hardware company. I've been hoping someone will design a bitcoin cash voucher reader/printer, like you see in the casinos. (For use in small retail busin

Well, because the advertisers' wrote the code that's running in your browser, and I imagine that they will do whatever maximizes their profit.

5V is dead, and has been for years. Even 3.3V is dying. These are among the lowest power chips in the world, regular bleeding edge stuff. Higher voltage means higher power, so there is a race to get as low as possible. Internally, the D21

For me at least, Facebook autoplays are muted. Only if you click on the video does the sound start. It seems like a good compromise to me. Video is very eye-catching. No advertiser wants to give that up. Unwanted sound on the other hand,
