Local scale makes sense in light of the concerns about disease and propagation of invasive algae though. It also could be seen as positive from a cultural standpoint, as the culture of seaside towns could be retained by keeping some of the

This reminds me of the EOMA68 project[1], which was seeking to use the same connectors to build systems where you simply swapped out compute cards when they got old and slow, saving on e-waste. I mostly like the idea of having the option to

Yes, I've got a Dell T3610 under the desk here now. My only beef is that it has weird Dell proprietary hardware, so I can't easily fit quieter fans to the PSU, or reuse the case with an ATX mobo

Little so far, but I expect it to at least serve as slight certificate of 'I can set up a VPS to host a web page'. I'm unsure if there's any writing I want to put out there, but that may change.

Is there any information within .it, for the Italian provincial second level domains? I find the idea of these domains fascinating, although implementation of them could be problematic, given that countries can lose or gain territory over t

It likely wasn't viable when the decision to choose to start building the plant was made. Enough to put a nice roof over lots of carparks and roads perhaps.

In Germany they have the Pfand deposit scheme, where almost all beverage bottles and tins have a deposit charged on them, and shops have automated bottle and crate collecting machines, which you feed your bottles into and get out a receipt

There's plenty of natural fibre based alternatives for a significant portion of plastic usage, otherwise reusable glass, ceramic, metal and wooden containers can fill a need, and be locally produced. Trees can be farmed, and I would li

Used Hameg scopes are common and fairly inexpensive, as they were used a lot in schools (at least in my area), and their manuals are very good for learning about oscilloscopes. To hook up your 1/4" signal, add a splitter to your o

There's no compelling reason why you couldn't have your rails embedded in the roads, most likely for light tram-type vehicles in denser urban areas, although you could go heavier if you like. Then you can have both wheel and rail

A wood pellet heater can be a fairly complex item, for a backup (depending on what usage frequency backup entails) a wood fired furnace might be more suitable if the owner is happy with having to add fuel every once in a while. Myself, I wo

It is available [1] as a core for FPGAs (possibly used in some obscure ASICs to boot), and it is very possible that those applications need fairly current support. The ColdFire processors came in up to 300MHz, and modern FPGAs could probabl

In what case is a long haul really required? Other than specialist superheavy or extra wide/long loads, everything should be on a train for those long runs. Modalohr [1] wagons make it very easy, although I have seen a specialised fork
