I hate to say it, but aren’t these guys pursuing exactly the same market niche that pushed the SpaceX Falcon 1 out of the market? They couldn’t find enough small payload business to sustain it, as “4 launches a year don’t make a business case”. Unless they found a niche for even smaller payloads, somehow...

Wow, this thread is old af. Never got to see all these spicy (ha) replies. Yeah. Sour and hot to me are nothing but mouth-burning - spicy is just pain, sour is just like an acid eating away the skin of my mouth. That’s all it is to my tongue. Give me sweet over sour any day. ANY day... and yeah, 5-odd years after this…

If you already have a 64C and a 1541, all you need is a USB to IEC converter - and I bought a Teensy (2.0 required, not new/older) to do that with http://www.insentricity.com/a.cl/201/turning-a-teensy-into-a-floppy-controller and the OpenCBM suite (newest beta required).

Our workplace uses Google Docs for everything, but I fucking hate it. It’s buggy and feature-limited compared to Word. When I want to get something done quickly that actually has some semblance of a professional look to it, I fire up Word. When I want to accurately position images on the page, I use Word. Nice, simple…

Eh, unless the battery is super-hosed (which is unlikely thanks to Nissan’s capacity warranty, only recently starting to expire for 2011 Leafs), 40 miles is fairly implausible. You could easily get 65-70 miles out of nearly any used Leaf out there - if you keep it to 55 on the highway (use cruise, unless it’s a…

I legit don’t understand why this warrants a news post. Some random person tweets a photo of water in the back of a Tesla and mentions @elonmusk, and boom, it’s worth an article? I’ve heard of slow news day, but... damn.

Color me impressed. The header photo is actually PC100 SDRAM, which is actually relevant to the time period. Kudos!

You probably came to the comments hoping for the info_hash for the original torrent.

Actually, it doesn’t check the light sensor - my old tablet didn’t even have one, but it still went dark at night - it even knew when I was going through a tunnel and auto-dimmed! It seems to do it based on the clock, mostly.

It’s disturbing that I had to load about 6 additional pages of unapproved comments before I finally found someone that called that BS out. It’s a 128GB RAM *module*, not a RAM *chip*. There are 32 chips on this module. Geez.

It doesn’t. Need. Batteries. Because the battery is built in. Therefore, it doesn’t NEED BATTERIES. Your move.

NiMH batteries are actually a different voltage from lithium batteries (about 1.3V for NiMH/NiCD versus 3.6-3.7V for lithium), which is why lithium-ion AA batteries simply can’t exist without fairly extensive DC-DC converters built into each cell. Rechargeable AAs (NiCd/NiMH) are close enough to non-rechargeable…

I don’t see buttons under the touchpad. Still holding out for some laptop that still has a REAL touchpad. With actual, physical buttons that I can rest my thumb over without constantly fighting with stray clicks and movements. Top of my “to-want” list in a new laptop is something so simple - buttons.

You might actually be suprised. I downloaded it, and I’m working through trying to parse it... but it’s looking a LOT like manufactured data. The same garbage taglines over and over - “always an adevnturer” - typo and all - for example. Either AshleyMadison was made of nothing but bot users, the sys admins set up a…

Holy shit, exactly how hard is it for pilots to, you know, SEE the drone? If someone on the ground can spot it, why can’t they tell the pilot where it is? Then, just fly over the top of it, and drop the fucking water over the drone. Drone problem = solved. Safety problem = solved. I can’t come close to understanding…

And yet, here in the USA, I still struggle to find a single digital radio even in existence. Cars - brand new cars - come with XM radio, FM, and AM... if you don’t want to pay out the arse for XM, you’re stuck with FM/AM, or no radio at all. I can only hope this pushes our own industry towards rolling-out digital…

Plenty of liquids take on the visual appearance of water, but are most certainly not water. See: bleach, rubbing alcohol, vinegar.

Here, it’s most likely the material used in “reusable ice packs” like those used in camping or picnics. For a good comparison, take metals and their “specific heat”. Copper, for example,…

Using an Arduino Leonardo - which has USB keyboard and mouse emulation (acts as a virtual keyboard or mouse) - and knowledge bestowed upon you by the included blueprints/datasheet, I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be too hard to hook it up to an Arduino and make it function 100% on a modern PC.

Where the hell is the swearing?
