Are you thinking of Daisy wheel? Dot matrix uses a set of pins arranged in a matrix that they ram forward to press the ribbon against the paper. Daisy wheel uses a raised character glyph and slams it forward into the ribbon. Every typewriter I've used has full glyphs.

The thing to remember about US states is that conceptually they are countries bound together in a Federation. There's a crap ton of complicated rules, but generally your state has a lot more power over your life than the US Federal Government does.

If you want just load the dos net ios/smb stack (or a tcp stack) and go to town.

Maybe a dipshit blonde wasn't paying attention and caused the problem? Sometimes facts really do follow stereotypes.

I would say something a little different. The kernel is a _library_ that has an init routine you can provide the function for. Or put another way, without the kernel your go program would have to have drivers statically compiled into it. This was the world of DOS, btw.

Don't be a professionally offended troll. Man is the generic word for the species.

How exactly are you going to use a service that requires login if the login requires an authorized device you don't have?

If we're going full reductio ad absurdum and taking snipes instead of conversation, then maybe the appropriate response is: You can be poor all you want, but don't expect someone else to subsidize your life.

Unfortunately, that's not true. Article 1 gives congress very broad budgetary powers. Basically congress can spend money how they want, including bribing universities.

(dropped the snark) Racist means grouping according to race, or potentially geographic origins. The word for what you're describing is probably closest to discriminatory, or prejudicial.

However, misanthropic is probably more correct as the paper applies to all people negatively.

Your username is surprisingly fitting.

Wouldnt a residential reit work for that? Bonus points for your risk being spread out over multiple properties.

I don't think your math works out. Let's assume you want to move 3000 containers along a 3000 mile path. Let's also assume 1: you can stack containers one high onto the railway at the rate one container per minute, 2: the containers will move at 300 miles per hour and 3: the ship moves at 20.

On thenship all 3000 containers arrive at once and the total time to move them is 3000miles / 20 = 150 hours.

On the rail the containers take 50hr to offload. Hence the first container will arrive at the other side in 3000/300 = 10 hours. The _last_ container will arrive at 60 hrs 0 minutes. At one minute per container in the 150hrs it took the ship to arrive you could have delivered 140*60 = 8400 containers to the other side.

Not that the ship is only 15 times slower than the railway.

The governing factors on your railway are the ratios for distance to travel vs the offload time. Or put another way the delay bandwidth product.

Pretty much as long as any 3 phase AC motor lasts. I.E. forever.

Wind speeds are so cool to see plotted at various altitudes. Aviationweather.gov will give you them for the entire US.

That's pretty much entirely up to the FAA. They can, for instance, revoke the type and manufacturing certificates and Boeing doesn't get to make and sell aircraft anymore.

What likely happens? They don't let them sell until the problems are addressed to the FAAs satisfaction.

I went the other way with AliExpress mokerlink unmanaged. It's cheap, and my network is pretty simple

Yeah, Linux is really nice for running 10g cards. Being from Sonnet, I'd expect it to work with OSX too. I've had worse luck w/windows .

I would say that the monopoly granted to EIC was more like the monopoly granted to patent holders. The risks to life and capital of the venture were extreme.

Nice! What OS do you run it with?
