   Loved my Satellit 700! I was pretty hard on it when I had it as a teen but hopefully I can find some time to fix it up. Still has my carefully programmed EPROM chips in it.

   I'll hopefully make it next year, unfortunately things didn't work out this time. There's always a few talks that send me on deep dives to find out more and I really like the variety. I'll be watching live like I do ever

   Thanks, I forgot about that one. I usually use http://www.websdr.org/ and I find these sites quite useful to check propagation.

   I had a similar experience but amongst other things I got everyone's passwords and figured out how to bypass / control this weird bookshelf launcher whose name escapes me now. The head computer teacher found out but didn't ma

    I'm curious how endurance is handled in this case. Is there a wear level guarantee when provisioning it? I guess this is applicable to any consumable though this seems to be a pretty expensive one.

    I've spent a few years in the CANDU world so it's interesting to hear opinions from elsewhere. I've grown to appreciate the lag time the design gives you.

    I was also impressed with the ticket experience. Everything flowed nicely. I visited almost a decade ago and I'd like to go back to see how much has changed since then.

    Wow, that was pretty unexpected and sad news. I hope Stratolaunch soars soon.

    While I very much acknowledge the Osprey program failures, the claim was that the JFS is the safest program ever fielded.

    > It's very much the norm. The JSF is the safest program that's ever been fielded -- the Osprey had multiple crashes and fatalities at this stage of its development. Is that per flight hour or some other metric? Care to provide

    I wonder how badly a descent like that would beat you up. Seems pretty violent but it's certainly better than dead.

    Previous poster claimed that all of the magic was hardware but I've always been told that it was in the software. HPE now seems to have some agreement with Arista.

    I think in this case replacing governors with senators may be appropriate and closer to the original intent.

    I agree, as a mid 30s advanced I feel a bit out of place with the current leadership.

    I have an LG inverter microwave and it has an annoying "cute" song it plays when it finishes (and periodically to remind you unless you open the door). There seems to be no way to shut it up without opening it up and disconnecting

    Took awhile but finally left the Apple camp. They've been moving mac OS closer to iOS and it finally became untenable for me. I miss it somewhat, but it's clear their focus is not me or my needs so I left.

    Hmm no I don't think so, the goal with multiplexing is to keep the streams separate so you can untangle them at the end since you're running multiple customers on a fiber. Losing a wavelength means less streams you can fit on it.

    Optical network surprises sometimes like when certain wavelengths on a cable will become unreliable due to damage but others work fine.

    I remember using Google now cards but stopped after they decided they needed my full history to make them work. I guess I was lucky I missed the advertisement phase.
