... size matters. Were any feathers found around the area? At least, that survived the outage...
According to this article in MagPi #43, the RasPi Foundation is aiming for a steady 50k units per month for Pi Zero very soon...
The hen's teeth status is explained thus:
But, given the tradition for new Pi models to sell out at launch, why is it taking so long to ramp up production on the Zero? The answer lies in the board’s unique position, Eben reveals. “This isn’t quite the same as the other Pis, because the other Pis are made by RS and Farnell. We make these Pis, so you’re actually looking at a small company trying to scale.”
Well, that and eBay scalpers clearing the newsagents of MagPi #40. Subscribe to the treeware version and that issue is still available with the Pi Zero as a covermount .
... seems to fit the bill describing these things, but TBH they always end up sounding antiphrastic. Sorry for causing anyone any pericabobulations by using real words without creating a new definition paradigm first.
I always remember the Dilbert cartoon where he sets the target "To leverage greater synergies across technology platforms". I used that once in one of my annual reviews and it nearly made it through before someone up the line spotted that it was bollocks. Still, he saw the funny side, as he tossed the review sheet back at me.
The spec on the linked site says 32GB ROM & 3GB RAM...
"Cat S60 key features:
Strengthened Die Cast Frame
Drop proof to 1.8m, MIL Spec 810G
Super bright display (typical 540 nits), Gorilla Glass 4
4.7” HD capacitive multi-touch with auto wet finger & glove support
Optimised battery performance (3800mAh)
High quality audio experience (>105dB)
Underwater 13MP main camera with dual flash, 5MP front-facing camera
4G LTE
Snapdragon 617 octa-core processor
32GB ROM, 3GB RAM
Android™ Marshmallow"
Also immersion to 5m for up to an hour. It sounds like a pretty well spec'd handset.
... sounds like Bleeping Computers has stepped into the gap left when CastleCops shut down. After helping beta test stuff like TrojanHunter and Zone Alarm, I used to be Staff Editor over there and met/worked with many dedicated and knowledgeable people. I lost contact with a lot since then, but some will have been like me, hanging up the gloves as family and job situations changed, (as happened with Paul and Robyn Laudanski). Others went to carry on the fight at places like DSLReports - everyone has their favourite place, and all need supporting so that there are many places to go for advice. The ones that attract most attention from the forces of darkness tend to be the ones doing most to fight back - I remember one particularly nasty attempt to knock CastleCops off the web, but it was more or less under constant negative attention. It's not helpful to have to deal with it all, although at least it shows the site is effective - like a badge of honour.
Ok, back to now... ;-) </reminisce>
A330 - got it here... that was indeed if ATC send you to a "remote runway on a disused airbase where you have no choice but to land the aeroplane manually" instead of giving you vectors to an ILS-equipped airport that will also have all those other nice things like emergency response vehicles... it's a good read...
When the plane is finally down on the runnway and has stopped rolling, "Apply the parking brake, shut down the engines by lifting and twisting the knobs marked ENG1 and ENG2, press the PA button and say 'Cabin crew, doors to manual.' If you happen to have landed at Barcelona it is permisible to say 'Cabin crews, doors to Manuel.' ... Now report to the control tower for a cup of tea and a truly enormous medal."
Subject H is in the bath singing to the bugged rubber duck:
"Rubber Duckie, joy of joys,
When I squeeze you, you make noise!
Rubber Duckie, you're my very best friend, it's true!"
Meaning unknown - leak suspected. Recommend replacement of subject with in situ clone due to possible infiltration of red cypher. Replacement programme currently scheduled to begin early 1993. Continue monitoring until then. Mission abort phrase confirmed as Rainbow Connection
Entry ends.'
...are very hard to find, outside of the machines used to generate government statistics.
If such a machine is a virtual impossibility, it must have finite improbability, but before trying work out the details, I'm going to need a fresh cup of really hot tea. Anyone got a spare atomic vector plotter...?
... I still have an unbuilt kit up in the attic, next to a BBC Master 128 and Sinclair QL, plus a couple of Psion 5's (UK original and US 5mx). The only home computer I sold on was my Spectrum, to fund the QL. Rooting about up there a few weeks ago turned up a pristine box of 5.25" disks, still shrink-wrapped (BT-branded, 90's piper logo). Aquisitional as ever - I can feel the need for a proper shed, with tool boards on the walls, power, heat, and somewhere for the home brew looming large some time soon...
I preferred "You drive fast, I'll drive anywhere".
I tried searching for revolver linkages for a Series II at work once - the filters were not that clever back then and it was blocked as 'firearms'. Still, the same setup blocked the HMRC website as 'offensive', so it wasn't always wrong...
... special news report from around the time of the flyby...
... early adopters are already out there in force, (just not too much lest they end up having laundry-related problems).
... to something like "cats", "boring financial forecast", "Quick! Someone check Morgan Freeman's pulse!" or maybe something more fruity that will fail to pass through our interweb filters at work? My network team is asking for new servers and I fear the beancounters may find it as an excuse to keep our current ones another 12 years... ;-)
Definitely agree. We use FIPS 140-2 USB memory sticks at work - pricey enough, but I had to order a few even more expensive ones that dual-booted to both Mac and Windows for staff with Apple kit. The software is a bit better (they've got an admin password, for example, whereas the cheaper ones don't). However, when someone turned up with a Chromebook... yeah, having a standard would help a lot.
Chuffin made me log onto the full-fat web site to find out the icon you'd used :-D (they don't show on m.register and can't be chosen on posts either)
Yeah, hands up, doesn't sound the most knowledgeable thing to say, but before iOS9 none of the eye candy bothered the iPad too much. It's mostly the kids device so the bubbles are probably back already.
FWIW I've also disabled multi-fingered gestures as well... ;-)
Thanks for posting those. The last two tips work well on iPad Mini v1 - just applied the last one here, to remove the sometimes very lethargic keyboard response in Safari. The reduce motion tip makes the screen rotation more brisk, but at least here I didn't notice much difference from the first tip (just the dock and folder backgrounds going solid grey). I've also set the background image to a static one instead of the animated bubbles... The overall effect is noticeably improved.
Going under Bridges and over Bridges would explain many things...
Or is Elon finally admitting that SpaceX use hobbits to pilot the first stage...?
If that's Elvis, where's his chip shop? There's also a shocking lack of unicorns at the nativity scene...
Hang on - does that mean that all mothballed battleships are not kept fully armed and fuelled up, staffed by elderly ex-sailors, ready to go at a moment's notice? I feel somewhat misled by a documentary film reel I recently saw, presented by notable historians such as Dr 'Weps' Rhianna and someone called Sam...
There wasn't really a specific reference to it, but a very strong hint when Me was pressing the Doctor on the whole hybrid thing and why he spent most of his time fussing over Earth.
The orphanage in the Gallifrey badlands has featured a few times in the current post-movie revival. Here's hoping the popular sci-fi circle isn't squared and they have an episode where the Doctor goes back to baby-boom America to write a book on childcare...
"no shuttles exploded prior to the first manned missions."
Apart from very early airborne excursions on the back of the carrier 747 aircraft, no shuttle flew without a crew - the 5 ALT unpowered glides by Enterprise and the first 4 STS orbital launches were the test flights.
"People Get Ready, at the moment I Fly Like an Eagle around Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, listening for Philae, hoping It's Alright. Crazy? Soon, though, A Change is Gonna Come, and instead of Wishing on a Star I'll be setting course for 67P to Lean On Me. Don't Cry, just offer up a Prayer for the Dying as I get ready for the comet's Touch..."
Wrong Seal...?
Reminds me of Alan Partridge interviewing Michel Lambert, France's second-best racing driver...
...even in the invisible touch of space Scott Kelly seems to be turning into a Phil lookie-likee.
