I love it when I'm typing. I hate it when someone else is typing :)

Why not just get a USB keyboard?

If he's buying another one, I think it's OK :)

It charges batteries individually, and it can be used as a USB power source as well? And Duracell discontinued it in the US? What are they thinking???

I don't use "normal" NiMH any more, the LSD ones are much better for my needs. If there's any significant differences between the Eneloops and AmazonBasics, it isn't very apparent in everyday use. I have Eneloop, Eneloop XX (last generation, definitely not as great in storing charge over time) and both the black and…

I tried to sniff my WiFi in promiscuous mode on a Windows machine using WireShark, but all I could see are packets to / from my machine and broadcast packets. After 15 minutes on Google, I found out that I need either : AirPcap, some custom drivers that may or may not work, or a Linux machine.

I have both the black and the white precharged AmazonBasics batteries, as well as Eneloops. If there's any difference between them, it is not obvious from every day use.

A couple of photos. I didn't manage to get any of the backstage passes, sadly. But it was still great. Traffic, as expected, was an unholy mess. Lots of rest area in the walking tour. Lots of porta-potties.

They changed their plans and opened up part of the runway for parking. It took us half an hour to get in and we arrived at the Ellis gate at 8:30, half an hour before it starts.

No tours, but we got to walk through Hangar One for the first time in years. There's a mini exhibit about zeppelins with photos of the area in the days of USS Macon.

No. The cell phones know where they are from GPS (eventually - it will take multiple minutes without cell tower augmentation), but there are no towers to connect to, so cell phone companies won't know the phones are even turned on, let alone where they are. A satellite phone would work, but they are extremely rare.…

This one. This one right here. Reading that as a kid, my reaction was "WTF?".

Edison, is that you from the other side?

Awesome bit of detective work. *kowtow* We're not worthy!

If you can't patch bash immediately, check to see if you're running a web server. If you have any services using bash scripts for CGI, disable them immediately.

Ah, thank you :)

On a recent flight on EVA, their in-flight map has virtual cockpot view, as well as something that looks quite similar to the first screenshot here - showing the 3d model of the plane, with the camera rotating around it. But there's nothing I could control, and I definitely don't get to interact with it other than…

Be grateful you even have a cushioned seat on a US domestic flight.

Google failed me. What's an E-Plat?

Confused - do you mean stairs truck, or jet bridge / aerobridge? Jet bridge joins the terminal to the plane, so there's no need for a bus. But if the plane is late and parked away from the terminal, they bus you over to where the plane is, and you climb the stairs to board.
