Peeling the center fins of the heatsink (takes a few hours of patience with needle nose pliers/medical forceps) and zip-tieing a Arctic P12 Pro (or any other 120mm high static pressure fan) to it works pretty well. Note that you should

Random digression, but if you're having problems with GPS reception on your S3, try tightening all the screws on the back of the device with an eyeglasses screwdriver or similar. The GPS antenna(e) are in the screwed-on backplate and c

I don't think the OC was referring to multitouch, but rather how resistive touchscreens can measure different levels of pressure applied to them. For example, I have a Nokia N900 with a resistive touchscreen that I can draw with, press

What if you manually go to the GApps URL? ( https://mail.google.com/a/your.school.mail.domain.here ) I assume that's what your school's website is probably linking to, but it's worth a shot.

Ah, iodine. I've used it in airports, hotels, cafes - it's great. The only drawback is that it's slower than dialup and latency is off the charts. But when you're stuck on a cruise ship and internet access is $8 a minute

I thought that at first, but the length of the hole is dependent on the width of the hole. The wider the hole, the shorter, because wider holes remove bigger caps. With a sufficiently wide hole, you could indeed drill a 6" hole through

That's a bit different. Court stenographers, along with the people who do real-time TV captions, use specialized chording keyboards (stenographs, they look like this [0]) that allow them to type words or even whole phrases with a singl

In the linked paper [0], they actually tested that point: after applying Gaussian noise to samples, the model could still recognize them half the time[1], despite being nearly unreadable (to me). [0] http://cs.nyu.edu/~zarem
