Gravity map matching is an approach that can provide absolute references, the general problem there is that gravity maps are not good enough.

No, this is about preventing unwanted jamming/interference by a transmitter on frequencies it isn't intending or needing to transmit on as part of the design phase of a product. Overcoming intentional jamming is an entirely differ

Why? Why don’t we use TAI or GPS time for generic world wide coordinated computer time?

I have always thought the fork() interface was convoluted, perhaps it is more intuitive to some folks than me; using a old document to create a new one by copying it, opening it, and deleting its contents is not something I had considered.

Weakly, yes. Enough to hold its own mass at rest, but I don't think it would work with any type of acceleration. It will stick nicely to a neodymium magnet.

Yes, the satellites should know 6mo in advance. UTC is still a head ache though.

Next, if you really want to time something fast you should probably know about cache. In a modern computer there are levels of memory. For now we’ll say we have 3 levels: cache, ram, and a hard drive. Cache is small but very fast, it is the

I won one from Sparkfun and just recently started using it. I have some experience developing on embedded platforms. The unit I have was a pain to flash the first time. I guess something got corrupted at some point and I had to recover with

MRSA (Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus) I just don't want anyone thinking MRSA stands for anything it doesn't.

This may or may not work. Ubisoft, EA, Blizzard and CD Projekt Red all have their own stores, not to mention Microsoft. I think the market is pretty saturated.

Android TV is different from Chromecast. Android TV can behave exactly as a Chromecast (you can wake it up by casting from your phone), but it also has a remote driven interface, voice recognition, and apps with non touch interfaces. Develo

Yeah, that was my initial reaction as well. It looks like she flexes at her shoulders more than I'm used to seeing, but nothing groundbreaking. We've known that a dolphin kick is faster than any of the strokes for a long while. I

I feel like they should have named the compiler 'rustic'.

To continue your point, often companies tier their products by their firmware to save development/manufacturing costs. If anyone can change the firmware, they may be able to make a $99 router perform like a $599 router (if I recall thi

He is not right either... 15 is 0xF. 16 is 0x10.

I'll be honest that I was very tempted to put on a suit, set up a fake newsroom and make a video because of this comic this morning.

As the article notes, that is a rather infamous case that is a large part of the reason former Illinois governor George Ryan was convicted, as it uncovered a cash for passing grades on commercial driving tests scheme. It was a horrible trag

I don't really think you can say that. It's not because they did something particularly positive, but more because they did something negative that had positive side effects. A positive externality maybe?

TL;DR: Problem: You have one remote, but a bunch of robots. You cannot address them individually; each robot will recieve every command. How do you get them into useful positions? Solution: Each robot is slightly different from the other. i

And why can't they be remade? It seems to me once upon a time Apple was in dire straights.

Honestly, they were completely based off Ubuntu at one point, and I have found upgrading OS versions on the fly to be flaky to say the least. From what I've read, I am not the only one with issues, so it is hardly surprising that a dis
