Fusion is easy. Lots of fusion (but not quite city leveling kind) is hard. As far as I can tell most of the difficulty arises in the plasma physics part instead of the actual fusion bit (the latter being fairly well understood now for quite

Both of which are also available in OpenRC (and other alternative systems such as runit, etc.) :)

With systemd you still have to fiddle with symlinks to enable/disable units (at least on the same level as other init/rc systems which have wrappers around ln). And with a sane RC system, such as OpenRC (which technically is still

It's not purely chance how well a company will do. And if you just consider the statistics I wouldn't have thought that the fraction of companies failing is that extreme for it to be negative in the expectation value (especially i

The actual ride comfort however is very different between road vehicles and rail vehicles (with trams being somewhere in the middle). In road vehicles I am pretty much limited to listening to music while staring outside if I don't want

Don't really see this happening in a modern western country to be honest. Or do you have some concrete scenario in mind? There are limits on how much the military will blindly follow orders. So either it will only affect small groups o

Perhaps I worded it poorly.. why have guns if you fear the government? How does being a gun nut and fearing the government relate?

How does having a gun alleviate your fear of the government?

Not that this will change your opinion, but Switzerland is not that great of an example to support your "fact" (and even if it was - a few outliers don't prove the lack of an correlation). For starters it has fairly strict gu

That's not really correct. Most large telescopes have a small FoV for starters (couple of arcminutes at best). Bigger telescopes gather more light and can thus see fainter objects. The biggest limit to angular resolution (beyond some r

Looking at the data rates of just the ATLAS detector [1] the data rate of about 10 GB/s for all experiments sounds about right (with higher event rates in the current run and detector upgrades). And that's after throwing away 99.9

Deutschlandfunk also used to operate two 500kW (250kW at night) transmission sites until the end of 2014. They were shutdown as a cost-saving measure (one of the two sites was even upgraded to more modern transmitters just ~5 years before t

If you watch the announcements you will notice that the individual detector teams do thank them for providing them with an excellent beam to work with, etc.. Also I would like to mention that unlike in the GR wave case the detectors do make

You dropped the small detail that those new ICEs are going to replace IC and EC trains first. And those usually run below 250 km/h. And only in a later phase they are going to replace ICE 1 and ICE 2 trains, which can only go 280 km&#x

The datasheet does not seem to be very specific on what protocol it actually uses. It does however state it is software-compatible to CH341 and for that there is a linux driver[1]. [1] https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux&

Right now SLAAC (Stateless address autoconfiguration) needs at least a /64 to work properly, thus only giving the customer a /64 means they can't run autoconfig on more than one broadcast segment.

Then you should be using TAI and not UTC.

If it happens to be a larger hotel, they could perhaps talk to the telcos about setting up femtocells inside the building. On that note I was quite surprised that DESY [1] in Hamburg has done exactly that - had perfect cell reception ~30m u

AFS might work for you. It would still be centralized, but at least you get local caching [1] compared to NFS for example. [1] http://csg.sph.umich.edu/docs/unix/afs/

There doesn't appear to be any legal protection on USB vendor IDs though. It's just important if you want to follow the rules of the USB-IF, but that's no legal requirement.

Especially since it's the only way to be compatible as far as I know (since (VID,PID) determines the driver that will get loaded for proprietary protocols). Also.. Can you even claim any special rights to a non-government registered tr

by welterde 12y ago
As far as I know that's perfectly legal.. you are just not allowed to put the USB logo onto the device if you clone the VID from another vendor. And you seemingly can buy FTDI clones that are not marked as FTDI on the casing.

Depends.. ICE1 trainsets appear to be slightly heavier than the Acela, whereas the newer ones are lighter. But that seems to be mainly due to having no dedicated power cars (ICE1 and the Acela Express do have power cars).

The ICE shares tracks with freight trains as well. Only the TGV has completely dedicated tracks afaik.

You do realize that in this instance it wasn't the government that sued Google, but a non-profit organization (Verbraucherzentrale, has the goal of protecting the rights of the customers), right?
