I don't know the details of the case, but I suspect the farmer had a property off the grid...and bragged about how he did it. Community members often can include those from the loc…

Weather Underground also has a lightweight telnet service. Telnet to rainmaker.wunderground.com and enjoy the super fast ascii text interface.

Not ready? Most electric clothes dryers, heaters, and air conditioners already use 4500 watts each. I'm sure the grid may notice an increase, the utilities will charge for the extr…

That's how reading their positions becomes easy. They coin a weasel word term and dance with it. I prefer the langauge EFF is using, which appears fairly reasonable.

I would assume the voltage drop per square inch is effectively minimal. Over the span of the body, it adds up. The catch is, the fish isn't contorting its posture to shock itself.

Expect a new class of cheap USB gadgets in the future. USB powered microwave oven. There's a lot of toasty cheese melting power in 20 volts and 5 amps. There's going to be some pat…

I'm sure they would be happy to quickly distribute the source code on replacement missile along with a bugfix.

Shopping for coreboot devices is frustrating. Google returns products containing pictures of legs.

Voltage drop across the neutral side can and does happen. Also, loose connections often happen on the neutral side supplying the plug. This could give you the full voltage across y…

I no longer play games, because of DRM hassles in the past.

I found most circuits are based on generic engineering designs. Note the chip numbers, get datasheets, and draw a basic block diagram. From that, draw up a mock diagram that could …

Unfortunately, most cell phones charge from a USB port.

Eye contact alone is golden. With no words offered from me, the car salesman negotiated the price of our new car down and double the trade in of our old car.
