Maybe your parents didn’t teach you empathy when you were growing up, as is so prevalent these days. There are millions of retired people on fixed incomes who bought their homes when they were normally priced. For example, my grandparents b

Juan from the Blanco Lirio channel just consolidated the rumors that two (2) Tor (Gen 1) (NATO: SA-15 “Gauntlet”) short-range missiles were probably fired from a battery near the takeoff path based on NATO forces’ SIGINT identifying a lock-

I remember the smell of carbonless copy paper from an Okidata dot matrix printer hooked up to an AT&T 6300 (same as Olivetti M24) at my dad’s garage (shop). It’s like an earthy “new car smell,” probably cancer-causing VOCs, but it is wh

Canonical, FreeBSD, Joyent and upteen Sun customers over 15 years disagree with an opinionated non-programmer jerk with anger issues espousing Tweet soundbites lacking any data to backup a wild claim worthy of John McAfee.

No 747 has been used for mainstream commercial passenger service for almost a year because it’s an old, uneconomical design that simply can’t compete anywhere except in cargo.

That makes it a 737 NG. The NG’s structural components were mostly manufactured (badly) by a subcontractor, Ducommun, but Boeing insisted on installing them anyhow. In 2010, there was a cover-up and a whistleblower; Al Jazeera broke it in a

You watch too much CNN or MSNBC to dredge up the disproven Russiagate conspiracy theory FUD. Maybe you should wait for investigators to provide their preliminary findings, eh?

Kid: flies an R/C airplane at a park. FAA: “You’re under arrest for unlicensed drone operation!” Is this sort of scenario we really want? More government control and monetary extraction from every single, benign human activity? Shoul

So, has HN turned into a political conspiracy theory and propaganda factory to beat the drums towards war? I just don’t see how this is relevant except to egg-on the paranoid InfoWars hobgoblins.

So is it sonic, cryogenic or something else (either fraudulent or real)?

North American feelings are more important than data, rationality and logic... because ignorant people “know better” than climate scientists and subject-matter experts. It sucks, but that’s what most people believe and they vote that way to

Basically every US Navy ship with radar constantly records radar data. It would be easy to demonstrate the aircraft’s flight profile to exonerate the ship. Hiding it means they’re hiding the truth.

Whether things are causes, consequences or side-effects is overly-simplistic, linear thinking that isn’t helpful when there are many real pains. Don’t bikeshed on labels or categories, please.

Inverted totalitarianism imposed by the consequences of extreme greed by the very rich has created ALL of these conditions: divided-and-conquered polarized populace, learned helplessness and corrupt government. The only viable solution is,

Empathy, shame and the Golden Rule have to be taught. If not, feral kids tend to grow up to be self-absorbed, mean, psychopathic, selfish pricks. PS: I grew up middle class but am now completely destitute and semi-homeless.

It’s typical for centuries, if not millennia, that politicians will start external dramas (i.e., wars) as smokescreens to deflect and to distract from internal controversies.

Possibly from a “BETAMAX” features point-of-view, but it’s not as pervasive as WiFi (“VHS”). My front door lock is Zigbee only because a WiFi camera is its WiFi-to-Zigbee bridge. Everything else is WiFi. Maybe in the future smart home stuff

Using higher GHz is all about selling more hardware. Let’s use 500 GHz so you have to have one in ever corner of every room to work. And don’t breathe or take a shower because that will block the signal.

I worked briefly in the radio group at Trimble Nav Ltd. around the DotCom times. 900 MHz and VHF CB bands didn’t have great channel bandwidth but sure worked well at a distance. 2.4 GHz was marginal but useful just like as it’s used for WiF

Pegasus Mail is still alive? I worked for a small nuclear energy consultancy that used it circa 1998 on Windows 3.1 and 95 on a Novell Network.

Reminds me of an improvement on the advice by good old Felix Dennis: Nice (fake) flowers can do as much or more for decor than antique lawyer or designer furniture.

That sounds like a personal problem in need of a cold shower IYAM. Be the change you seek by getting ISVs/OEMs/ODMs to launch an orgy of compatible hardware to simultaneous release peripherals to stick them with. Seems like an e

Lifestyle design and the wider world is stereotypically antithetical to most engineers. If you’re not one of those, and even if you are, you should often deflect the “so what do you do? (how much do you make?)” question with a humorous cont

This is true. The hardest people on the poor, who are in favor of cutting welfare, are the almost poor. Which is why they shouldn’t be listened to and why leaders need to lead. Another motivating aspect is that it’s “easier” to attack and d
