Hematite is one specific type of iron oxide. Rust is a non-technical umbrella term for all iron oxides, and the typical red ones we see in daily life are formed by contact with water and are not hematite. Hematite is a dark charcoal gray and is sometimes formed as a byproduct of iron ore processing or other heat and pressure processes in the ground, where oxygen may be present but not water.

Same here. I used to spend endless time on /., even while at work, as so much of what happened over here was somehow relevant to my job anyway. Of course, I no longer do that same job, but even if I did I still wouldn't be a daily /. visitor today. Sic transit gloria mundi, I guess, but very sweet memories nonetheless.

Downloading the floppies for Linux 0.12 at work and then almost literally running home as fast as I could to get it installed is another of those beautiful memories. Especially as it actually booted and worked. :-) I sure didn't get a lot of sleep on that first night towards killing DOS on my home box.

Just relabel bookmarks as tabs and there you go.

Its already treating them as bookmarks though.. I just wish mozilla would fix smaller things like giving a site storage size limit that actually worked and didn't just ignore it and also wouldn't churn disk as much for no reason at all.

I have an old voffee mug covered with 1970s computing aphorisms. One says, "If computers ever get too powerful, organize them into a committee. That will do them in.."

Yup, one stated reason for the RAT on documents I have seen is to extend the data collection by the FDRs by maintaining power to the sensors and canbuses.

That's how I read it. It should say it has no thrust.

A typical jet turbofan airframe has two engines that each have a generator shaft taking turbine energy and making electrical current. It then has a whole 'nother turbine engine used on the ground and in some other flight legs called the APU; this exhausts out the tail cone usually, and can start engines or provide extra hydraulic power if needed, but is slow to start just like the main engines.

For power loss emergencies, a small spring-loaded fan pops into action super fast, called a Ram Air Turbine or RAT. It can only make enough electrical power to reboot key systems like engine FADECs or avionics, often only on one electrical channel instead of all channels. It's only a turbine, not a thrust-producing fan. It's a pinwheel toy in comparison to the APU and even the APU cannot produce significant thrust.

Dreaming of getting 30% of photoshop sales prices instead of 20 bucks for the os messed up a lot of their strategy. Of course it was unrealistic from the start but led to win8 and winrt and everything after that.

Firing the entire board of vaccine science immunologists, and replacing them with pre-science miasma theory antivax stooges, for example.

Well, basically yes, thsts where its going.

He can't let anyone use it for gov stuff anyway or cia gets to read whats on there.

But look euro countries are thinking of moving governance out of MS now too due to trump crossing the line publicly of ordering ms around.

Was anyone buying ipods in the latter years when they were just idevices without the phone and they just started making the smaller version of ipad anyway then.

Yes inherently its just running on the customers computer anyway, so they don't actually have control.

Not sending other players locations when not necessary etc would be cooler.

And you can cheat by off-device means anyway, you can do an aimbot that doesn't run any code on the computer now.

Wow came out like a decade after my bank at the time had 2fa.

Sure at first it was over telnet and phone lines so it wasn't terribly secure at first..

Seems the Danes are less susceptible to Silly Valley's influences, or the study period ended too early, or both. Alternate explanation, companies have fallen over themselves to lay off staff but won't cop to AI as a cause, as they find other excuses to tell their investors.

To teach you don't need massive amounts of content, lessons don't need to be superfacially unique at all, they're scalable on their own.

The need to make new books for schools etc every year is based just on the need to sell them too, basics of languages do not change every year, a student doesn't benefit from unlimited amounts of basic class learning material.

Thats not entirely true. To update an old ios app to be uploadable into the store is significant amount of work due to apple themselves deprecating stuff and requiring you use a newer xcode. You can't just "update the api call" and expect it to be publishable.
