You, sir earned this star and deserve every bit of it. Thanks for the informative answer! My knowledge of fluid dynamics is extremely limited :)

So if you could perfectly set a stagnated pool of water on the equator, would it not rotate or would it arbitrarily rotate?

In the state of Illinois, you can pay more on your ticket and have it not sent to your insurance. It’s called “Court Supervision” (or at least it used to be, I haven’t received a ticket there in over 15 years now) and let’s say the moving violation is $75, then it’s something like $125 and you can’t get another ticket…

Nope, sorry I haven’t found anything else out. I would say it’s safe to assume that Cast to UPnP/DLNA is a completely dead project. I left it installed on an old cell phone of mine and there’s still no updates almost a year later. I haven’t bothered to try anything else out as I’ve done extensive work on my local…

I play a lot of online FPS games these days because they’re quick and easy to pick up and fit into my life better than RPG’s that I miss spending 90+ hours with. I’m pretty good at them, but the one common theme of frustration for me is lag compensation. I raged. I then raged harder. I’ve broken controllers over it.…

Been following Eric the Car Guy’s channel for some time now. He gives great info!

LOL except that nobody wants to buy MKII books nowadays

I used to go into my local arcade and play all day long on a couple of bucks with Mortal Kombat II. I was pretty damn good. This was before the interwebs was actually a thing in the rural Midwest and I’d subscribed to every gaming magazine I could find for those juicy MK tidbits. From those, I’d cultivate all the…

Reversal of biological entropy or at least the prevention of further biological entropy. It should be the top priority. From what I understand about physics and thermodynamics, it's possible although the amount of energy required would be substantial and it might not be feasible.

I'm a Buc's fan and I approve this message.

Cleganebowl. Get Hype!

Thank you for the explanation. That makes sense even if the legalities of it all still don’t.

Actually I would think either would technically be enforceable, especially the cell-phone law considering the cop could physically see you talking on the phone instead of using a hands-free device. But the time, money, and training that would be required for law enforcement to inspect your cars computer seems…

I don’t think that’s necessarily against the law so much as against ToS. I fully admit that circumventing the original manufacturers design absolutely breaks that, but I would never expect modifying your own property to be against the law so long as it doesn’t harm anybody else...

Can you elaborate on what you mean by “tinker”? I’m a Mustang owner and the entire Mustang community has tons of tuners, tinkerers, etc. and there are both private parties and larger companies that specialize in adjusting levels of the computer to eek out more performance gains. Companies like SCT sell tuner modules…

Knowing what I know now, yeah. This router was a failure. All hype and no substance.

I thought about doing this to my HP DV9000, but decided against it because I've torn into enough laptops to know how big of a pain in the ass they are to deal with.

It's also not just Dell's. The HP DV6000 and DV9000 are all known to do it too. I think there might have been a class-action lawsuit against HP because of it.

The Belkin 12 Outlet Pivot Plug Surge Protector with 8 Foot Cord is showing $39.95. I even added to cart and went through to the final step of checkout to see if the discount gets applied later. Didn't help.

All the driver has to do is call Mors Mutual Insurance, pay about $10k and the car will be replaced in full. Hell, he could do it all over the phone. Then he just needs to call his mechanic to deliver the car again and off he goes...
