I always just downed a bottle of water which usually helps raise the ph level enough for me to feel better.

With such a drop required could you harness a tide to produce power. Like maybe allow the tide to fill San Francisco Bay and harness it when it recedes.
I'm guessing AMD now has some of the fastest CPUs on the market.
Re:“Username or password is incorrect” is bullshit on Friday December 22, 2017 @12:28PM (#15989182)
Also if you are doing the username/password is incorrect you should also add an artificial delay if it's the username is wrong. Because you can tell which one is wrong my seeing how long it takes the server to respond.
Finally, now maybe you can get a GPU for a reasonable price again.

We probably could install the on top of cell towers.

I think you're right, it looks like it's growing as it rotates away.
This is called a salt dome. It seems this one in particular is called the "Qeshm salt dome".

You're also probably going to need 2 tunnels these tubes are monodirectional.
This is basically one of my problems with self driving cars and putting your life in the hands of neural networks. It could theoretically be possible to find vulnerabilities in these systems. Someone could possible create some sort of genetic algorithm to evolve a sign that could cause a car to veer off the road and crash.

Maybe i'm just scare mongering or worrying about nothing. I just don't really feel comfortable putting my life in the hands of something that no one knows exactly how it works.

You missed a chance to say eating apples.

I'm surprised DFW was knocked out at that stage too. From what I hear traffic is horrible in Denver.

You act like this is uncommon for you. Taller people have to pay more for cloths, buy larger cars, and consume more food. You pay more in gas to transport the extra weight. There are probably many more this isn't some weird thing.
Maybe I should upload my TI-BASIC programs...
Re:Gates Makes Largest Donation Since 2000 with $4.6B Pledge on Tuesday August 15, 2017 @11:02AM (#15018846)
It's a non profit so no one owns it. He is still in control of it though,
Re:Text Is Keeping Kids from Coding on Monday August 14, 2017 @12:12PM (#15009766)
I feel like this is something that helped a lot of people learn. The first programming language I started to learn was TI-BASIC on my calculator because I was bored to death. I wouldn't really recommend a BASIC-esqe language as someone's first. I really with we had some easy preinstalled language on Windows machines. Maybe have Python come with it or something, and some way for people to know it's there.
It is stronger

Also if people ever stop using the service your files could be gone forever.
Yeah you can sends texts to your phone just like sending an email.
It's Alex Honnold I'm not shocked.
The more I think about this the more brilliant it becomes.
Colin Furze even made one a few months ago.
Re:An Alternative Approach to Rate Limiting on Wednesday April 12, 2017 @09:41PM (#14103412)
The chances are incredibly slim, and even if it does it's only one user.
Simple solution to the codes, just place the numbers in random locations. I know Runescape used to do this with bank pins.
This is pretty cool.
I'm guessing somewhere like Colorado would be nice. They'll probably just end up with a longer growing season.
Re:Breaks Observed in Rover Wheel Treads on Wednesday March 22, 2017 @11:12AM (#13931545)
The wheels are all ready only like .65 mm thick, how much thinner do you want them to be?
No, the effect is negligible if it wasn't planes wouldn't be able to fly upside down. It's the pitch of the wing that generates most of the lift. That's why helicopters don't alter the rotor RPM they adjust the pitch of the blades to take a larger bite.
Re:Facebook Cuts Oculus Rift Price to $499 on Thursday March 02, 2017 @03:30AM (#13772573)
You can build a computer that could run most of the games for like $600.
