    Westworld Discussion Thread

    http://delosincorporated.com/assets/transmission.mp4 (appeared after the finale) I see many people touting that theory, but I think it would be dumb honestly, and would be a twist that takes away the impact of what happened. The whole point of the ending is that he is atoning for what he had...

    Star Trek Beyond

    It wasn't shot on tape. It was shot on 35mm film and edited on video to produce the TV masters. For the remaster, they scanned in and then re-edited all of the episodes from the 35mm negatives.

    Juno spacecraft to attempt polar Jupiter Orbit Insertion 7/4

    The drop-off follows the Inverse Square Law, and with the average distance of 5.2AU, Jupiter receives about 3.7% the amount of light that Earth does (or 1/25 to an approximation)

    Anyone here watch Anime? If yes recommend some good Anime here :)

    Well, here is a group of people recreating the dish made in episode 1 with nothing to go on but what was shown in the show (guessing amounts, cooking times, etc.). Here they make the dish from episode 2 using the recipe found in the manga.

    Coaxial cables all the same?

    Coax is just the type of cable. There are many different connectors that can be put on the end of it. A TV/cable connection uses F connectors, or analog security cameras would use BNC, etc.

    Aldi is "shockingly cheaper" than Walmart?

    If you click through to the blog that Yahoo took this quote from, there is an item by item comparison of prices for what was purchased from both Aldi and Walmart. The milk and eggs were cheaper at Walmart during the comparison, but the blogger was saying that normally Aldi is cheaper.

    MovieSwap -- interesting new Kickstarter

    It's not very clear with the info they put online, but it does say you have to "swap" a DVD with another member to watch a movie that isn't in your library. So it seems like they are saying you "swap" ownership of the DVDs when you want to watch a movie. So you "give ownership" of whatever movie...

    Teens react to seeing/using Windows 95

    To be fair, there are a lot of those all-in-one machines out there with 1 power button. Also, just about everyone leaves their monitor on these days and lets it go into power save, so they probably don't ever turn the monitor on really (and that's a really big power button compared to what...

    High Risk Offenders to be Injected with GPS Trackers

    So it turns out the "injection" thing was not at all what was voted on, and is just some stuff this Nelson guy (primarily) is saying they want, and apparently has no idea what is technically possible at the moment...

    I guess everyone has their tastes, but I would strongly recommend you make it through episode 5. If it doesn't hook you after that, it's not going to. The art/animation in Bebop is pretty timeless to me, but it's 90s cell animation, so that's what it's going to look like. It's a pretty...

    I love HOUSE, what a fun show.

    It's certainly not the funniest scene in the show, but what I remember the most is when Foreman gets sick from that amoeba or whatever it was, and they were trying to figure out why he was getting worse faster than the other guy who had it. Cameron: "Foreman's black" House: "What?!? How long...

    What a mistake designing the phone system to allow spoofed numbers

    For PRI and SIP the number is almost always outpulsed from the PBX, so you can send DID numbers for specific departments, phones, or whatever instead of just your main number. Many carriers will not allow you to outpulse numbers not on your account, but there are legit reasons to do so. If...

    We will never forget! Remembering 9/11

    I woke up to go to work, and I was sort of half awake before I got out of bed and could hear the TV in the other room talking about the first tower and the reports that a plane hit it. In my half awake state I remember thinking some strange movie must be playing, but then I got up and saw the...

    Configuring a VPN server in Windows 10 - Where am I going wrong here?

    PPTP pass-through works by monitoring connections hitting 1723, which is only the control channel used to setup the tunnel which is using GRE. If you are using port forwarding to 1723, it's not going to work since your inbound packet is not going to 1723 at the router WAN port. To get around...

    Lies! KanaHana is the only voice for Akane. Plus the Dominator sounds way better in Japanese. I'm a big fan of the wackiness of Aquarion, but this series is really lacking even in that department. Part of the fun of the other series was all of the hijinks when they were training and every time...

    New burglar technique: gassing people in their house through HVAC

    http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-33814823 This BBC article pretty much echoes my initial thoughts, especially if they supposedly ran it through the AC to cover the entire house or villa or whatever. It would take a huge amount to reach enough PPM over an entire house to do anything. Also, first...

    Mercury space probe runs out of fuel and crashes into planet

    I guess it depends on what you define "regular" as. If the satellite is low enough, atmospheric drag will slow it down and decay the orbit, so there will need to be periodic boosts to correct the orbit (like with the ISS). For Geo satellites, atmospheric drag is a negligible contributor, but...

    Marker pens used on the TV show Numb3rs to write on glass.

    Well there are also chalk markers that will write on glass. Some brands will come off with a damp cloth and some require ammonia or the like. Crayola even makes window markers and window crayons. Those might be better options for you. Also, this might be helpful.

    Marker pens used on the TV show Numb3rs to write on glass.

    They use grease pencils, also known as china markers. I've never used them but you can supposedly wipe it off with just a paper towel (although this would probably need to be used within a reasonable time frame). If you left it on for a long time you would probably need to use a solvent...

    Anyone here watch Anime? If yes recommend some good Anime here :)

    I think people get confused when they try to relate "seasons" with cours. Part of it is that, at least here, production blocks of TV shows are tied to the length of a season. That's not the case with Japan, or specifically anime. A cour doesn't define the actual "seasons" as it relates to the...

    SpaceX's Falcon 9 Rocket Launch and landing tomorrow very AM

    I'm not sure if the camera was in the first or second stage tank, since they didn't say. Both first and second stage engines can restart, so I'm sure they are probably interested in the fuel flow of both. Here is a view in the second stage fuel tank from the previous flight.

    SpaceX's Falcon 9 Rocket Launch and landing tomorrow very AM

    Absolutely amazing. It's taken so much failure both large and small to get us to this point since we first decided to go to space. The failures suck, but we're able to learn from them and get better at it. I'm sure they will have a bunch of good data from this to improve the chances for the next...
