Any chance the Netatmo weatherstation will be able to supply data in the future? Quite alot of them out there [1], and I would love to contribute. [1] http://www.netatmo.com/en-US/…

Hook the drink cooler up with an arduino, temp sensor, power switch and an heating element and you'd be able to maintain that temperature as long as you'd like. http://www.adafruit…

You are correct. You can simulate this by filling your lungs with air at 10 m under water and then rise quickly to the surface while holding your breath. It would be analog to fill…

Breathing pressurized air in vacuum is not such a good idea.

Split the pile of application in two halves. Throw one of the halves in the trashcan. Hiring people with bad luck isn't good for business.

Since 1981 the real wages have risen with 65 % in Norway, i.e. people can buy 65 % more stuff now than back in 1981. However, if the growth in buying power instead of being used to…

With 2 billion drawings, Omgpop possesses a valuable source of information. It would be interesting to see how different people illustrate equal words differently or equally in the…

In my opinion, hardware buttons should be limited to only non-critical operations or operations with limited usage frequency (which may be an argument to why the button may be unne…

This would have to be constrained to consumers experienced with flying RC planes. Imagine the number of planes crashing due to the incompetency of the operator if anyone could rent…

In countries or areas with a cold climate the argument of energy conversion is less significant as most of the energy consumption is used for heat anyway. To those advocating that …

I totally agree. Still, a discovery so profound as first contact must have some impact to their belief. But then again, my guess is that when this discovery is made, the larger par…
